Frequently Asked Questions

Tokenization offers a powerful suite of benefits:

• Enhanced Liquidity: It transforms traditionally illiquid assets (like real estate) into divisible units that can be traded more easily on secondary markets.
• Fractional Ownership: It allows you to divide a high-value asset into smaller, more affordable shares, opening up investment to a wider pool of capital.
• Transparency & Security: Every transaction and ownership record is immutably logged on the blockchain, reducing fraud and creating a single source of truth.
• Operational Efficiency: It automates cumbersome processes like dividend distributions and compliance through smart contracts, reducing administrative time and cost.

Virtually any asset with provable value can be tokenized. Common examples include:

• Real Estate (commercial, residential)
• Private Equity and Venture Capital Funds
• Investment Funds and ETFs
• Fine Art, Collectibles, and Luxury Goods
• Commodities (precious metals, agricultural products)
• Intellectual Property and Royalties
• Debt Instruments and Bonds

Many consultancies are strong on either blockchain technology or traditional finance. TokenyFi's unique advantage is our deep expertise in both. We are not just technologists; we are financial project managers who speak the language of asset owners, lawyers, and regulators. We don't just advise—we manage your entire project from conception to launch, ensuring it is not only technologically sound but also financially viable and fully compliant. We are your single point of accountability for a successful tokenization.

We are technology-agnostic and partner with the industry's leading blockchain platform providers. This means we select the best-fit technology for your specific asset and jurisdictional requirements, rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all solution. Our role is to manage these technology partners on your behalf, ensuring seamless integration and that the final product meets your strategic goals.

The first step is always a Discovery and Feasibility Workshop. This is a no-obligation, in-depth consultation where we work with you to understand your asset, your objectives, and the regulatory landscape. From this, we produce a high-level project roadmap, identify potential hurdles, and provide a clear assessment of whether tokenization is the right path for you. It's designed to give you clarity and confidence before any commitment is made.

The timeline varies significantly based on the asset's complexity and jurisdiction, but a typical project ranges from 3 to 9 months. The process involves several critical phases: structuring and legal setup, technology development, regulatory approvals, and investor onboarding. After our initial Feasibility Workshop, we will provide you with a detailed project timeline tailored to your specific situation.

Compliance is our foremost priority, not an afterthought. Our process begins with a Regulatory Gap Analysis, where our legal experts identify exactly how your asset is classified in target jurisdictions. We then design the entire token structure and accompanying legal documents to adhere to those regulations. We work closely with top-tier legal counsel in each jurisdiction to ensure full compliance from day one.

We integrate robust, automated KYC/AML verification systems directly into the investor onboarding process. Before a potential investor can even view the investment opportunity, their identity can be verified through our partnered compliance platforms. Furthermore, we can implement smart contracts that restrict token transfers only to other whitelisted and verified wallets, maintaining the integrity of the cap table and ensuring ongoing regulatory compliance.

Security is multi-layered. First, we only work with established, secure blockchain platforms. Second, and most critically, all smart contracts we deploy undergo rigorous third-party audits by leading cybersecurity firms before they ever go live. These audits meticulously check for vulnerabilities. Finally, we advocate for and help implement secure custody solutions, often involving regulated custodians to safeguard the link between the digital token and the real-world asset.

Costs are project-dependent but generally fall into four categories:

1. Professional & Advisory Fees: (Our project management, legal, and advisory fees).
2. Technology Costs: (Blockchain gas fees, platform licensing, smart contract development and audit costs).
3. Legal & Regulatory Fees: (Fees for external legal counsel and regulatory filings).
4. Ongoing Operational Costs: (Custody, compliance platform subscriptions, and admin).

After our initial workshop, we will provide a transparent and detailed cost breakdown.

The process is designed to be secure and compliant. First, you would undergo a streamlined online KYC/AML verification. Once approved, you'll be able to access the investment platform, often through a user-friendly portal. Purchases are typically made using stablecoins or fiat currency. Secondary trading usually occurs on dedicated, compliant trading platforms that ensure all participants are verified, maintaining the offering's legal status.

Transparency is a key benefit of tokenization. The smart contract associated with your tokens will often contain a link to the legal documents that prove the token's claim on the asset (e.g., a digital copy of the fund's subscription agreement or the property's title deed). Furthermore, the performance and valuation data of the underlying asset can be reported on-chain or through verified off-chain reports, giving you direct and immutable insight into your investment.
