- Learn all about token finance, engineering, and regulation
A series of three masterclasses, hosted in both Amsterdam & Rotterdam
Masterclass Token Finance
with Dan Liebau (Lightbulb Capital) & Jelle Pol (Dusk)
Security tokens will enable organisations to bring real-world assets online, and decentralised finance (DeFi) aims to replace all existing financial services by decentralised solutions. One class of security tokens, asset-backed tokens, are connected to a tangible or intangible object that has economic value; it essentially digitalises an asset and records its associated information on a blockchain. Tokenising assets, including real estate, companies, art or digital assets, means lowering costs for issuers, but also improving transparency, efficiency and liquidity of real-world assets. Tokens offer us an opportunity to re-imagine our economy, but how to get there remains a challenge.
Masterclass Token Engineering
with Trent McConaghy (Ocean) & Neil Smyth (YES!Delft
This deep dive helps to create a clear definition and scope of the token concept, including use cases, taxonomy and terminology, and a specification neutral to underlying technology. A well-designed token ecosystem accelerates and sustains your company’s success. In this masterclass, we will guide you through the process of designing a sound tokenomics model. Is there a viable ecosystem, and what potential business functions will be addressed with the token? What are the motivations for the participants in the network to use the token.
Masterclass Token Regulation
with Olivier Rikken (Ledger Leopard) & Willem-Jan Smits (WatsonLaw)
Undeniably, technology’s evolution pace is light years ahead of regulatory frameworks. The regulation of the token economy is one of the most conflictive tasks within the Token ecosystem. We will give a global view of regulation, how different countries approach the issue and in what ways investors are protected against bad practices. Also, issues like soliciting outside investors, private round, how to handle it, and where to register the offering. Learn about banking regulatory structures like anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC).
