Overview - 2Tokens.org / Roadmap Token Finance

Phase 1 - Round table sessions
From November 2019 till February 2020, we hosted three round table sessions on tokenization. Each round table was well-visited and hosted a variety of guests coming from different business angles. The discussions where structure around 'why', 'how', and 'what'.

The first round table discussed the 'Challenges & Opportunities' of tokenization. Round table #2 was about 'Purpose Driven Tokenisation'. And the third round table discussed 'Token Finance'. Find the summaries of these sessions below!
RT #1 - Challenges & Opportunities
In this round table, held on the 6th of November 2019, more than 60 participants discussed the challenges and opportunities of tokenization. The participants were split up in 6 different groups, each having their own subtopic to discuss.
Why do we need tokenization?

Although the 6 tables each has their different topic to discuss and perspectives, the reasons why we need tokenization were very much aligned:
To provide new financing models
Increase interchangeability, liquidity, and programmability
And increase transparency, security, and compliance
What do we need to do to achieve tokenization?
The importance of tokenization was quite clear to all the participants. Tokenization is the future and if the Netherlands would not adopt favorable regulations it could become less competitive and lose out on promising startups who settle somewhere else. The next round in the discussions was to understand what the Netherlands needs to do to achieve tokenization. What are the requirements for the Dutch ecosystem in order to benefit from tokenization?

How to move forward with tokenization?
Understanding why we need tokenization and what we need to do to achieve tokenization are the first steps. Eventually, we need to have the right infrastructure to move forward with tokenization. The third session of the day was focused on the How and what we require to become successful with tokenization in The Netherlands.
RT #2 - Purpose Driven Tokenisation
The second round table was on Purpose Driven Tokenisation. On the 11th of January, over 80 participants joined to discuss various topics.
Why do we need purpose driven tokenization?
The various tables found several interesting reasons about why we need tokenization:
Shared understanding – how to align interests and motivations to collaborate and make progress in ecosystems?
Innovative funding – how to fund ecosystems beyond traditional VC financing or (bank) loans?
Change management – how to understand and facilitate the change implied with new ways of interacting?
Messaging and engagement – should the narrative around tokenization change to enable innovative ecosystems?
Knowledge and skills – what skills do organisations need to transition to tokenised ecosystems?
Problem-solution fit – how to ensure addressing real problems where tokenization can help realise in new solutions?
Tokenization and the law – what are the legal requirements around purpose-driven tokenization?
What do we need to do to achieve purpose driven tokenization?
For decentralization to have any chance of success, we need interoperability between various blockchain networks and decentralized applications should offer a seamless experience, where the UI/UX is separated from the token layer. At least, if we wish to convince consumers to use them.

More importantly, the community and regulators need to work together to develop clear standards and regulatory frameworks. A robust regulatory framework will reduce regulatory risks, it will enable innovation by providing startups with clarity around the rules of tokenized ecosystems, and it will allow incumbents to open up for those startups. Standardized taxonomy and terminology and education of stakeholders is vital in achieving this.

How to move forward with purpose driven tokenization?
To enable decentralised finance, we first need a widely available decentralised infrastructure. This includes protocols with a seamless UI/UX, interoperability among blockchains, decentralised exchanges and self-sovereign identity. A decentralised infrastructure is not enough; we also require a regulatory framework that brings safety and trust in the system.
RT #3 - Token Financing
February 11th, the 3rd round table on 'Token Financing' is held. The event took place in Amsterdam and was hosted by CMS. With over 80 attendees, including representatives from investments firms, as well as regulators, Government officials and the Dutch Fintech ecosystem.
Why do we need token financing?

There are many reasons why we need token financing. One of the main reasons is that is offers companies a variety of benefits, including the democratization of value. Token financing simplifies raising funds across borders, opening up new markets, and, with that, potentially new customers.
What do we need to do to achieve token financing?
In order to make token finance mainstream, many applications need to become decentralized. Decentralized Finance (DeFi), is one of the core sectors that keeps itself busy with creating new protocols with a seamless UI/UX experience, improved interoperability, decentralized exchanges, and self-sovereign identity.

How to move forward with token financing?
Any industry confronted with disruptive technology faces the challenge of establishing a legal framework that sets the rules of the game to protect investors, consumers and companies and get rid of bad actors. The same applies to the blockchain ecosystem. Therefore, we to create a robust regulatory system that embraces these forms of new technology.
