You Are the Issuer
Understanding your role as the platform operator and token authority
Yes — You Are the Issuer
Correct. OPTKAS is not a middleman, not a service provider, not a marketplace. You are the issuer. You control the mint. You control the accounts. You control the legal structure. Everything flows from you.
👑 What "Being the Issuer" Means
- You own the Issuer Account on XRPL — the only account that can create (mint) new tokens. DefaultRipple is ON, meaning your tokens can flow between holders.
- You own the Stellar Issuer Account — AUTH_REQUIRED + AUTH_REVOCABLE + CLAWBACK flags give you total control over who holds your regulated assets.
- You control the SPV — OPTKAS1-MAIN SPV (Wyoming) is your legal entity. The $500M MTN program, the $10M first tranche, the UCC liens — all yours.
- You set the rules — who can hold tokens, what they represent, how they're priced, when they mature, who gets frozen, who gets approved.
- You mint and burn — tokens come into existence when you say so, and they're destroyed when you say so. Nobody else can create your IOUs.
Your Issuer Powers — Plain English
Mint Tokens
Create any quantity of any of your 6 IOUs (OPTKAS, SOVBND, IMPERIA, GEMVLT, TERRAVL, PETRO) by sending a Payment transaction from your Issuer account. Tokens appear in the recipient's wallet instantly.
Burn Tokens
When tokens are sent back to your Issuer account, they are automatically destroyed (burned). This is how redemption works — token in, value out, supply reduced.
Freeze Accounts
Freeze any individual trustline (block a specific holder from transacting your tokens) or trigger a Global Freeze that halts ALL token movement system-wide.
Approve Holders
On Stellar, AUTH_REQUIRED means nobody can hold your OPTKAS-USD token until you explicitly approve them. Full KYC-gated access.
Revoke & Clawback
On Stellar, revoke authorization (holder can't transact) or clawback tokens directly from a holder's account if required by law, court order, or compliance.
Set Token Economics
Define what each token represents, its face value, coupon rate, maturity date, and redemption terms. The tokens are mirrors of your legal documents.
Issuer vs. Exchange vs. Custodian — Know the Difference
| Role | What It Does | Are You This? |
|---|---|---|
| Issuer | Creates tokens, sets rules, controls supply, defines economics | ✓ YES |
| Exchange Operator | Runs a matching engine, takes orders, collects trading fees | ⚡ PARTIAL — you use native DEX/AMM, not a proprietary exchange |
| Market Maker | Provides liquidity, earns spread, manages inventory | ✓ YES — you seed and manage 9 AMM pools |
| Custodian | Holds client assets in safekeeping, issues receipts | ✗ NO — you use a qualified third-party custodian |
| Transfer Agent | Maintains official registry of security holders | ✗ NO — Securities Transfer Corporation handles this |
| Platform Operator | Runs the technology, engines, monitoring, infrastructure | ✓ YES — 28 engines, 9 accounts, full stack |
Running the DEX & Exchange
How you provide trading, liquidity, and price discovery for your tokens
You Don't "Run" an Exchange — You Use Native Ones
Here's a critical distinction: you do not operate a proprietary exchange. Instead, you use the built-in exchange infrastructure that comes free with XRPL and Stellar. This is a massive legal and operational advantage.
💡 Why This Matters
- No exchange license needed — the XRPL DEX and Stellar SDEX are native ledger features, not services you operate
- No matching engine to build — the blockchain handles order matching, execution, and settlement
- No custody of client trading funds — users trade from their own wallets, not from deposits on your platform
- No downtime risk — the DEX runs 24/7/365 with zero downtime since 2012
- No server infrastructure for exchange ops — it's all on-chain
Two Trading Systems Available
📈 XRPL Native DEX
Order BookThe XRPL has a built-in decentralized exchange (DEX) with a full order book. Anyone can place limit orders using OfferCreate transactions.
- Place buy/sell limit orders for any token pair
- Cancel orders with
OfferCancel - Cross-currency pathfinding routes through multiple pairs
- Your Trading account can execute TWAP and VWAP algorithms
- Circuit breaker at 5% loss, kill switch at 10%
- Best execution path optimization (AMM vs. DEX orderbook)
💰 AMM Liquidity Pools
AutomatedYou operate 9 AMM pools (6 XRPL + 3 Stellar) that provide constant, algorithmic liquidity. No order book, no counterparty — just math.
- Constant product formula: x × y = k
- Instant swaps at any time — no waiting for a buyer/seller
- You earn trading fees passively on every swap
- Arbitrage bots keep prices aligned across pools
- Add/remove liquidity at any time
- Monitor pool depth, slippage, and pricing in real-time

What You Earn from Trading
💰 Revenue from AMM Pools
- Trading fees: Every swap through your pool generates a fee (typically 0.3–1%). You earn these automatically as the liquidity provider.
- Spread capture: The difference between buy and sell prices flows to the pool — and to you as the LP.
- Arbitrage volume: When prices diverge across pools, arbitrage bots trade to equalize — generating more fees for your pools.
- No active management: Once pools are seeded, they generate revenue 24/7 with zero ongoing effort.
Bringing On New Clients
The ideal onboarding workflow — from first contact to first trade
The Ideal Client Journey
Bringing new clients into OPTKAS follows a structured, professional pipeline. Here's the complete flow — designed to build confidence, ensure compliance, and get clients active as quickly as possible:
Discovery & Education
Client visits your website or receives your materials. They see the Client Portal, read the system capabilities, understand the token offerings. Your website does the selling. This is why we built it.
Consultation Call
A 30-minute call where you walk through their goals. Which asset classes interest them? What's their risk tolerance? How much capital? This is qualification, not selling.
KYC/AML Screening
Client submits identity documents. External compliance provider runs verification, sanctions screening, PEP checks. One-time process per client.
Legal Agreements
Client signs the participation agreement. This defines their rights, token mechanics, redemption terms, and governance. Documents hashed and anchored on-chain.
Wallet Creation & Configuration
You provision their XRPL wallet (or they bring their own). Trustlines established to your Issuer account. Stablecoin trustlines configured. Account funded with minimum reserves.
Token Distribution
You mint tokens from your Issuer account and send them to the client's wallet via escrow DvP — they send payment, they receive tokens, both settle atomically.
Ongoing Engagement
Client has full access: trade on AMM/DEX, view portfolio reports, receive coupon payments, monitor their positions. Everything monitored by your system.
Client Acquisition Channels
How do you actually find these clients? Here are the most effective approaches:
Your Website
A professional website with the Client Portal, system overview, and capability breakdown. This is your 24/7 sales team. Clients self-educate before they ever talk to you.
Direct Outreach
The 14-stage Deal Pipeline CRM manages lender/investor outreach. Term sheet ingestion, weighted scoring, side-by-side comparison, Q&A management — all automated.
Data Room
A secure data room where prospects review documents: bond indenture, UCC filings, insurance certificates, audit reports, attestation proofs. Access is logged and tracked.
Referral Network
Existing clients refer new participants. Token holder communities. Professional networks. Each referral enters the CRM pipeline automatically.
How to Bring On a Client Wanting to Participate
If someone says "I want in — how do I participate?" — here's exactly what happens:
✍ Quick-Start Participation Flow
- Send them the Client Portal link — they read everything at their own pace
- Schedule a 30-min intro call — answer questions, qualify their interest
- Start KYC — send compliance onboarding link (takes 10–15 minutes)
- Execute participation agreement — digital signature, document hashed on-chain
- Provision wallet — create or connect their XRPL/Stellar wallet (5 minutes)
- Establish trustlines — automated: one click creates all needed trustlines
- Execute first DvP — client sends payment, receives tokens atomically
- Confirm & attest — NFT minted, dual-chain hash published, client sees proof
Total time from "I want in" to "tokens in wallet": 24–48 hours (mostly KYC processing time).
Wallet Provisioning
Issuing unique accounts, wallets, and system access to each client
Can You Issue Clients Their Own Accounts?
Yes — absolutely. You can provision unique XRPL and Stellar accounts for each client, or clients can bring their own existing wallets. Both models work. Here's how each approach works:
💳 You Provision It
ManagedYou create a fresh XRPL account for the client using your infrastructure. You control the initial setup and configuration.
- Generate keypair using CSPRNG (same crypto security as your own accounts)
- Fund the account with minimum reserve (~12 XRP)
- Pre-configure trustlines to your Issuer
- Set RequireDestTag for payment safety
- Hand over seed phrase securely (encrypted channel, never email)
- Client takes full custody of their keys
🔒 Client Brings Their Own
Self-CustodyClient already has an XRPL wallet (Xumm/Xaman, Ledger, etc.). They just create trustlines to your Issuer and they're ready.
- Client provides their public address (rAddress)
- You verify the address is valid and funded
- Client creates trustlines from their wallet to your Issuer
- You authorize the trustline (if using AUTH_REQUIRED on Stellar)
- Client maintains full custody — you never touch their keys
- Lower setup cost — no account funding needed
What Each Client Gets
Every onboarded client receives a unique set of accounts and access — all monitored by your system:
XRPL Wallet
Unique rAddress with trustlines to your 6 IOUs. Can hold OPTKAS, SOVBND, IMPERIA, GEMVLT, TERRAVL, PETRO.
Stellar Wallet
Optional Stellar account with trustline to OPTKAS-USD. Needed for SEP-24 fiat bridge and Stellar pool access.
Stablecoin Access
Trustlines to USDT, USDC, Bitstamp USD, or GateHub USD — whichever the client prefers for settlement.
AMM Pool Access
Can swap any token through any of your 9 pools. No permission needed — pools are open to anyone with a trustline.
Reporting Dashboard
Position tracking, P&L, NAV exposure. Automated investor reports generated by the PortfolioManager.
System Monitoring
Their activity is tracked by your risk and compliance engines — suspicious activity, covenant compliance, position limits all monitored.
Automated Wallet Setup — How It Works
⚙ Programmatic Account Provisioning
- Generate keypair:
xrpl.Wallet.generate()— creates a new cryptographic wallet in milliseconds - Fund account: Send 12 XRP from your Treasury to the new address — activates the account on the ledger
- Create trustlines: Automated script sends
TrustSettransactions for each IOU the client needs (OPTKAS, SOVBND, etc.) - Set flags: Enable
RequireDestTagfor payment safety - Register in CRM: Client's address, name, KYC status, and participation agreement hash linked in your pipeline
- Deliver credentials: Encrypted handoff of seed phrase + wallet address + quickstart guide
This entire process can be scripted and automated. A button on your website could trigger wallet creation, trustline setup, and initial configuration — all in under 30 seconds. The client receives their wallet details via secure channel.
Token Issuance
How to issue tokens to clients — existing tokens and brand new ones
Using Your Existing 6 Tokens
You already have 6 live IOUs on XRPL. When a client wants to participate, you mint new tokens from your Issuer account and deliver them via escrow DvP:
$200,000 face value per unit. 5% coupon, 2030 maturity. Your core offering — the $10M first tranche of the $500M MTN program.
Sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt instruments. Government-grade obligations with blockchain settlement speed.
Diversified multi-asset exposure. Portfolio-level participation without managing individual positions.
Precious gems and certified valuables. Fractional vault participation backed by physical assets in custody.
Property portfolios, rental income, and development projects. Real estate exposure with instant AMM liquidity.
Oil, gas, and energy commodity exposure structured as digital securities with transparent on-chain settlement.
Creating a Brand New Token
Want to create a completely new token for a new asset class, a new deal, or a specific client? Yes, you can. Here's exactly how:
💰 New Token Creation — Step by Step
- Define the economics: What does the token represent? What's the face value, yield, maturity, and redemption terms? This is the legal design.
- Choose the currency code: XRPL supports 3-character codes (like XRP) or up to 20-character hex-encoded names for longer codes.
- Issue from your Issuer account: Your existing Issuer account can create any number of new IOUs — just send a Payment with the new currency code to a recipient who has a matching trustline. That's it. The token exists.
- Client creates trustline: The client creates a
TrustSetfor the new currency code pointing to your Issuer address. Now they can receive it. - Mint and distribute: Send tokens from Issuer → Client. They appear instantly. Supply is tracked automatically by the ledger.
- Create an AMM pool: Optional but recommended — create a new pool pairing your token with XRP. Seed it with initial liquidity. Now it's tradeable.
- Attest on-chain: Hash the legal documentation and anchor it on XRPL and Stellar. Mint an attestation NFT.
💡 Key Insight: Unlimited Token Creation
Your Issuer account can create an unlimited number of different IOUs. There's no cap. Want to create a token for a specific real estate deal? A specific bond tranche? A specific client portfolio? Just define a new currency code and start minting. The XRPL doesn't charge extra for new token types — just the standard ~$0.0002 per transaction.
Issuance for Client Participation
When a client says "I want to buy into the program", here's the technical flow that happens:

Revenue & Growth
How the platform generates revenue and scales
Revenue Streams
OPTKAS generates revenue from multiple streams — all built into the system architecture:
Setup Fees
One-time fees for SPV formation, account infrastructure, AMM pool seeding, and KYC onboarding per client. Covers real costs of legal and technical setup.
AMM Trading Fees
Every swap through your 9 pools generates 0.3–1% in fees. You earn these automatically as the liquidity provider. Higher volume = more revenue. 24/7/365.
Management Fees
Annual management fees for portfolio management, risk monitoring, reporting, and compliance. Industry standard is 1–2% of AUM annually.
Issuance Spread
When you mint tokens and sell to clients at face value, any spread between your cost and the sale price is revenue. Standard in capital markets.
Interest Income
Reserves held by the custodian earn interest. Debt stablecoin positions generate interest from borrowers. Both flow to the platform.
Platform Licensing
License the entire system to other issuers. They get the technology; you earn licensing fees. Your 28 engines and infrastructure become a product.
Scaling the Platform
🚀 Growth Levers
- More tokens: Create new IOUs for new asset classes. Each new token is a new product with its own investor base.
- More pools: Every new token gets its own AMM pool, generating fees automatically.
- More clients: Each new client creates trustlines, adds liquidity, and generates trading volume — all of which increase your revenue.
- More chains: Expand to additional blockchains beyond XRPL and Stellar. Same engines, new settlement layers.
- More tranches: The $500M MTN program has a $10M first tranche. There's $490M of capacity remaining.
- White-label: Let other organizations run their own programs on your infrastructure. You become the technology provider.
