At Dusk we are creating a Privacy-oriented Blockchain Protocol for Digital Securities. We aim to remove technical barriers that have hindered mainstream issuance and trading of products such as security tokens. Compliance, auditability and privacy are built into the permissionless Dusk Network, and it provides a Confidential Security Token Standard (“XSC”), that is capable of removing the need for centralized middlemen in the landscape of regulated financial markets.

Our focus on security tokens allows any company or proposition to deploy their idea onto the Dusk blockchain. Parties emitting a security token are called issuers, and the process of selling and distributing these tokens is referred to as issuance. We are providing technical support to our first-wave partners to set up and test their security token propositions on top of our XSC-standard.

Through the past year we have delved deeply into their requirements, design decisions, and propositions. We have found common questions and steps that have structured our robust Security Token Offering (STO) framework that we think are worth sharing. This allows for an interesting behind-the-scenes perspective of STO preparation.
