Was ist ERC-1404? TokenSofts Restricted Token Standard

Tokenisierte Wertpapiere gelten allgemein als die Zukunft von Krypto. Während es immer einen Platz für Utility-Token geben wird, werden sie letztlich von ihren Sicherheits-Token als die gängigsten Token verdrängt.

Much as there are various standards that utility tokens are built upon, the same holds true for security tokens.

ERC-1404: Einfacher Restricted Token Standard

Developed by TokenSoft, this standard was announced by CEO, Mason Borda. It is open-source and tailor-designed to serve those operating under compliance requirements. It is known as ERC-1404.

In einer Pressemitteilung zum Start kommentierte Borda: “We’ve spent the past year gaining insight from issuers, top securities law firms and major exchanges to better understand their token compliance needs…Now, we’re excited to deliver a standard that comprehensively addresses those needs, and provides the tools necessary for issuers to adhere to global banking and securities laws.”

The token builds upon the popular ERC-20 Ethereum standard by adding multiple additional features. This is done through the ability to apply transfer parameters within a smart contract.

• Wann Token übertragen werden können
• Wie viele übertragen werden können
• Bedingungen, die für die Übertragung erforderlich sind

These changes are achieved through simple lines of code as demonstrated in their announcement.

Die Wettbewerber

TokenSoft is not the first company to venture down this path. They stand next to other well-known names striving for the same goal. Here are a few:

• Polymath – ‘Die Securities Token Platform. Utilizes the ST-20 securities token standard.
• Securitize – ‘Provides an end-to-end platform for issuers that are seeking to tokenize assets’.
• Harbor – ‘A compliance platform for tokenizing private securities’. Utilizes the R-token Standard

Each of these companies are actively laying the groundwork needed to allow seamless tokenization in the future. As these trendsetters navigate the waters and create a blueprint on how to efficiently achieve their goals, look for an increasing number of companies to jump on board.

As interest in security tokens soars, companies interested in creating one need a means to do so. Companies like TokenSoft and those discussed earlier are filling that need. Through the creation of these token standards, they are building the foundation needed for the next step in the world of crypto.

Lawson Baker of TokenSoft understands this, and stated in their press release, “The future of security tokens requires compliance with relevant laws, interoperability, and a user experience that works for all skill levels…By supporting ERC-1404, token issuers, exchanges and wallets can deliver a great user experience to investors while ensuring compliance.”

ERC-1404 isn’t the first security token protocol, and it won’t be the last.
