Community Layer
Open, permissionless token participation.
Intellectual Property Tokens are open and permissionless. Token holders gain access to token-gated research data, AI agents, priority clinical trial enrollment, and governance participation. Token value comes from network utility and community growth — not the operating company’s commercial performance.
Company Layer
Properly structured equity, standard securities.
In parallel, a properly structured company holds the IP portfolio, deploys capital, employs the team, and issues equity through standard U.S. securities exemptions. Equity is unambiguously a security and treated as one at every step. This operates exactly as a conventional startup would — built natively on blockchain infrastructure.
From token holder to shareholder, step by step.
A voluntary path — you choose if and when to apply.
01
Lock Tokens
Commit your IP Tokens by locking them. This is fully reversible at any time before equity is received.
02
Complete Verification
Pass standard Know-Your-Customer identity verification — the same process used by every regulated financial service.
03
Receive Equity
The project's executive board reviews your application based on contributions, expertise, and fit. Upon approval, equity is distributed.
Benefits for every participant.
Whether you hold tokens, build the project, or invest capital — the model works for you.
Real ownership with real upside.
Equity issued through Coin-to-Company qualifies for significant U.S. tax advantages. Shareholders who hold long-term may exclude a substantial portion of capital gains under established rules for qualifying small business stock. Your community participation can become genuine ownership.

What participants are saying.
The Coin-to-Company model gave our community a clear, legally grounded path from token holding to genuine equity participation. It changed the game for how we think about contributor alignment.

As an institutional investor, the compliance documentation and standard securities framework gave us the confidence to participate alongside the community. Best of both worlds.

Having liability protection through the nonprofit association structure was a key factor in our community's decision to adopt the framework. It removed a risk nobody was talking about.
