Smart Security represents a financial instrument with rights to an underlying asset, equity, cash flow or profit. Unlike traditional securities, Smart Securities take advantage of automation, decentralization, liquidity and transparency offered by the distributed ledger.

Type of Smart Securities

1. Tokenized VC fund - claim to a share of a fund. Each token is a unit that represents a fixed amount of investor rights. Tokens are tradable, and liquid.
2. Share-like tokens - features such as ownership in an entity, voting rights, dividends, profit shares, or some interest in the success of a future entity. A subset of these are 'Revenue-Share' tokens.
3. Asset-bakced tokens - constitute an economic right to a real-world asset, such as art, real estate, power plants, etc.
4. Crypto-bonds - debt tokens, can act as bonds, constituting a fixed claim on future streams of income.
