Protocol Mechanics ​

Technical Mechanics ​

The protocol supports Ethereum, Solana, and Base. For each asset, the applicable deployment creates a smart contract and issues the configured token. ERC-3643 applies to compatible EVM deployments.

These digital contracts define a token's fundamental properties and rules, including:

  • Token Name, Symbol, and Total Supply: Basic identifiers for the token.
  • Transfer Logic: Functions that govern how tokens can be moved between addresses.
  • Compliance Rules: For security tokens, the smart contract can be programmed to enforce regulatory requirements, such as restricting transfers to only whitelisted, KYC-verified investors.
  • Corporate Actions: Logic for automating processes like dividend payments or voting rights can be coded directly into the contract.
  • On-Chain Registry (Whitelist): To support compliance, especially for security tokens, an on-chain registry can list addresses that have completed the applicable KYC/AML checks and are authorized to hold or transfer the token. The smart contract can reference this registry before permitting a transfer and reject a non-authorized address.

The contract records token configuration and transfer rules. The relevant contract, fund terms, and owning service govern transfer permissions and applicable charges.
