Tokenization

In essence, tokenization is the process of taking an existing function or asset and representing it as a token, which develops and releases on chain.

Which assets can be tokenized?

  • Money: “coins” [endogenous currency (the intrinsic cryptographic tokens of each protocol)], « tokens » [resulting from smart contracts]. 
  • Bonds: the blockchain opens up an automated management of registers, the payment of coupons or detachment of rights is possible with all the others advantages identified.  
  • Equities: smart contracts facilitate the management of preferential subscription rights or the exercise of warrants, but also the management of shareholder registers, shareholder agreements, shareholders, pre-emptive rights or qualified majorities per share class and generally voting participation and access to financial information.
