Tokenization
What ‘verifiable’
actually means.
Eligible holdings that sit off chain can be wrapped as a token on a public chain. The token is not the point. The point is that anyone holding one can check what stands behind it without asking us. If a claim cannot be checked that way, we call it a claim, not a proof.
The process
Three steps,
each one checkable.
-
01
Eligibility
Not all exposure can be tokenized. Positions are screened against the rules of the jurisdiction they sit in and the terms of the instrument itself, and anything that cannot be represented honestly on chain is excluded at this stage rather than wrapped with a caveat.
-
02
Lock & attest
Eligible holdings are locked so they cannot be counted twice. An attestation is published describing what is held and on what date. That record is meant to be read by someone who does not trust us.
-
03
Mint & verify
A token is minted against the locked exposure and can be verified by inspecting the chain directly. Verification does not depend on Vanderholt Technologies Limited confirming anything: the holder, an auditor, or a stranger can follow the same records and reach the same answer.
Limits of this model
Tokenization makes a holding checkable; it does not make it safe. Smart contract risk, custody risk and market risk all remain, and redemption terms will be set out in the client agreement rather than implied here. No token described on this page carries a guaranteed, direct or fixed return.
