Issuers will issue security tokens backed by their assets in question while holders of those tokens or investors will not only be able to share dividends but to also do voting for decision-making about the projects in question .
For security token issuers, the platform will help them to perform STOs within 10-12 weeks. It also will provide a full digital lifecycle management of issued security tokens. For instance, from dashboards, token issuers can get guidance on how to define STOs and generate legally binding smart contracts and how to tokenize. Issuers can then manage their investor data and information from the dashboard, and generate and automate reporting and analytics for the STOs. The latter can be shared with regulators and shareholders, for instance.
