Red Homestead is built on the oldest principle in frontier property law: documented, peaceful, continuous, good-faith possession of land you actually work can ripen into recognized ownership. We run that process — rigorously, publicly, and honestly — for the Moon and Mars.
Three legal traditions say the same thing: the person who openly possesses and improves frontier land, on the record, has the strongest claim when a governing authority finally arrives to recognize title.
In Brazilian law, posse (possession) is protected even without title, and usucapião converts long, peaceful, good-faith possession into recognized ownership. The constitution's função social da propriedade requires that land serve a purpose — you must use it. U.S. homesteading granted title to settlers who lived on and improved a parcel for five years. The 1872 Mining Act recognized claims that were staked, recorded, and worked.
In every case the sequence was the same: possess → document → publish → work → be recognized. Recognition came after the documented good-faith possession, often from an authority that didn't exist when the first settlers arrived. Brazil still does this today, granting title to long-term good-faith occupants through regularização fundiária.
The 1967 Outer Space Treaty bars any nation from appropriating the Moon or Mars, and there is currently no sovereign, court, or land registry with jurisdiction to grant or enforce private title there. So no one — including Red Homestead — can convey legal title today. Usucapião produces title only because Brazil has courts to adjudicate it; off-world, the adjudicating authority doesn't exist yet. We sell the process and the documented forward claim, never current ownership. That honesty is the whole point.
You choose a parcel in the live explorer. We georeference it against the body's official coordinate frame — Mean-Earth/Polar-Axis for the Moon, IAU areographic for Mars — and issue a memorial descritivo tying its corners to identifiable surface features.
GeorreferenciamentoWe run a claim-search certificate against existing claims, take a notarized possession attestation (ata notarial de posse), record your sworn good-faith declaration, and verify your identity (KYC). One parcel, one claimant — overlaps are blocked at intake.
Ata Notarial de PosseYour claim is publicly advertised for 24 months — the edital de citação. Anyone, anywhere, may file a counter-claim during the window. The publication is timestamped and hash-logged so the open-and-notorious record can't be backdated.
Edital de CitaçãoAny counter-claim is resolved on a published, objective rule: priority by date of properly-filed claim. First valid filer prevails. An unopposed claim earns a Certificate of Unopposed Possession.
Posse mansa e pacíficaYou sign a 25-year homestead commitment — a good-faith pledge to develop the parcel when commercial transit becomes available — and file a development plan. This is your animus domini: the intent to possess as an owner.
Função socialPossession must be continuous. Your monthly continuity report re-attests your active interest and logs registry activity near your parcel — keeping the record unbroken and current. It's the "checking in on my land" moment, doing real legal work.
Posse contínuaNo conveyance of legal title. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty (Art. II) bars national appropriation of celestial bodies, and no sovereign, court, or land registry currently has jurisdiction to grant or enforce private title to land on the Moon, Mars, or any celestial body. Red Homestead does not and cannot convey legal ownership or any presently-enforceable property right.
What you purchase. A claim-documentation and registry service — the preparation, notarization support, public publication, opposition-period adjudication, and continuous-possession recordkeeping of a good-faith homestead claim — together with a collectible certificate. It is a record of your claim and intent, not a title.
Not an investment; not a security. Your payment is not an investment of money in a common enterprise and carries no expectation of profit from our efforts. We make no representation as to resale value, appreciation, or return. The claim is not offered as a security and is not registered with the SEC, any state regulator, the Brazilian CVM, or any other authority.
No guarantee of recognition; no sovereignty; not legal advice. We model the process on frameworks in which documented good-faith possession was sometimes later recognized, but we do not guarantee any authority will ever recognize your claim. No Red Homestead claim asserts national sovereignty. Nothing here is legal, tax, or financial advice.
