For Issuers

Who can be an issuer on Libertum?

Any verified entity — corporation, LLC, partnership, trust, fund, foundation, government entity, even an individual operating in their own name. You’ll go through Know Your Business (KYB) first; once approved, your account upgrades to Issuer role.

What documents do I need for KYB?

Varies by entity type and jurisdiction, but typically:

  • Certificate of incorporation / formation
  • Articles of association / operating agreement
  • Tax registration (EIN or equivalent)
  • Beneficial-owner ID and KYC for owners ≥ 25%
  • Director / officer ID
  • (Some jurisdictions) bank reference letter and source-of-funds declaration

How long does KYB take?

Typically 1–3 business days for clean submissions. SumSub processes the identity component automatically; Libertum admin does the final compliance review. You’ll get email updates at each step.

What asset classes can I tokenize?

Eight built-in classes — Real Estate, Equity, Equity Digital Asset, Debt Digital Asset, Invoice Factoring Fractionalisation, Revenue Digitisation, Commodity Tokenization, Bonding Token. Each has its own wizard step sequence (4 steps for Real Estate, up to 10 for Equity Digital Asset and Commodity Tokenization).

Which token standard should I pick?

If you’re issuing…Pick
A security token (real estate, equity, debt) on EVMERC-3643 — default for most security-token offerings
A utility / governance / staking tokenERC-20 — lighter, no on-chain identity check
A one-of-a-kind asset (single property NFT, art)ERC-721
A security token on Cardano (audit-cleared offerings)CIP-113 — Preview only today, mainnet pending audit
A non-permissioned Cardano fungible token todayCIP-20 — live on Cardano Mainnet
A bonding-curve liquidity tokenBonding Token (custom)

What’s the difference between on-order and on-deploy minting?

  • On-order (default for primary) — tokens minted as each order settles. Total supply rises as orders fill.
  • On-deploy — full supply minted at deployment to a custodian wallet; tokens transferred to investors as orders settle. Used when you need immediate secondary-market liquidity from day one.

Available for ERC-20 and ERC-3643 only.

What compliance modules are available?

Five modular ERC-3643 compliance modules, composable per offering:

  • Country Allow — only allowed jurisdictions can hold
  • Country Restrict — block specified jurisdictions (sanctions, etc.)
  • Supply Limit — hard cap on total supply
  • Max Balance — per-investor concentration cap
  • Hold Time — minimum holding period before secondary trade

Compose freely: a US Reg D offering might enable Country Allow (US only), Max Balance (per-investor cap), and Hold Time (1 year); a Reg S offering excludes US via Country Restrict.

Who can mint, freeze, or force-transfer my tokens?

Two privilege levels:

  • Token Owner — you, the issuer (typically a hardware wallet or multi-sig). Can change compliance, change identity registry, transfer ownership.
  • Agents — operational wallets that handle mint, freeze, force-transfer, recover. By default the platform’s relayer is an agent for routine operations (mint at settlement, dividend distribution); you can add or remove agents at any time.

Can the platform force-transfer my investors’ tokens?

Only authorised agents can. Force-transfer still requires receiver verification — tokens can never end up in a wallet that doesn’t pass on-chain compliance. Force-transfer is used for legitimate scenarios (court orders, restitution, lost-wallet recovery), and every action writes an audit-log entry on chain and off chain.

How do I declare a dividend?

From the Issuer Dashboard → Dividends → Declare new distribution. Specify:

  • Total amount (in stablecoin)
  • Currency (USDC / USDT typically)
  • Allocation method (pro-rata is default)
  • Scheduled date

The platform takes a snapshot of MINTED orders at scheduled time, calculates each investor’s share, and pushes stablecoin to every wallet pro-rata. Failed individual transfers (e.g. blacklisted wallets) surface in the dashboard for manual handling.

What does whitelabel give me?

Two modes:

  • Whitelabel Shopfront — single-offering branded landing page at tenant.libertum.market or your own domain. Investors complete KYC, connect a wallet, and subscribe inside your brand.
  • Whitelabel Marketplace — full investor / issuer marketplace under your own brand and (optionally) custom domain, with optional tenant admin and tenant-specific KYC.

Both available depending on your subscription tier — see Pricing & Plans.

How do I receive fiat payouts?

Through Stripe Connect. Connect your Stripe account; Libertum applies a configurable platform fee (in basis points) per payment that’s deducted automatically. Stripe takes its processing fee, Libertum takes its platform fee, you receive the net — settled to your connected Stripe account.

Issuers can also use their own master Stripe account (per-issuer key encrypted at rest); contact support to enable.

What pricing tier should I start on?

If you…Pick

Run an active issuance pipeline (5 offerings/year)Issuer Starter — $299/mo

What if I need a feature that’s not in the platform?
