Using the Blockchain to tokenize the global asset ecosystem by introducing protocol standards upon which everyone can build. We believe in the potential of blockchain technology to radically alter the shape of modern finance, business, and government. We believe in interoperability. In the current model, securities trade and settle across a multitude of disconnected broker, clearinghouse, and custodian databases. We envision a world where security tokens can trade freely across many markets in varying jurisdictions, opening investment opportunities for unexplored investor classes and geographical regions that were previously hindered by bureaucracy, lack of understanding how to participate, cultural or language barriers. Our Secured Financial Transaction (SFT) Protocol expands upon the ERC-20 standard to allow for the issuance, governance, and trading of tokenized securities on the Ethereum blockchain. The protocol is open-source and non-rent seeking, aiming to foster a diverse ecosystem for market participants to interact. It is modular, robust, and can be configured to represent both equity and debt based securities throughout their entire life cycle from issuance to redemption. Through automated on-chain compliance the protocol seeks to reduce costs for securities issuers, allow for rapid settlement of trades, and simplify reporting requirements and regulatory supervision. By introducing a common standard for the claim to ownership and transfer of a diverse range of assets we can reduce market segmentation and open previously illiquid markets to a global audience of investors. ——————————————————— Twitter: @HyperLinkTechn Contact email: hello@hyperlink.technology
