Stobox is a technology company for the intelligence and tokenization of real-world assets. Since 2018 it has structured and supported $305M+ in assets for 100+ clients across 20+ jurisdictions.
Three products on one core: Stobox Intelligence (a canonical company record and readiness score), Raisable (compliant capital raising with licensed broker-dealers), and Stobox Compass (compliant token issuance). They are sold separately and work together.
No. Stobox is a non-custodial technology provider. Regulated activities – brokerage, custody, legal advice – happen with licensed partners.
Gene Deyev (Founder and CEO) and Ross Shemeliak (Co-Founder) founded the company in 2018. Gene co-authored one of the first books on security token offerings in 2019.
Eight years of hands-on tokenization work: 100+ client engagements, 20+ jurisdictions, four continents, and participation in the SEC Crypto Task Force roundtable on tokenized securities.
An eight-phase methodology covering strategy, asset structuring, tokenization model, token economics, issuing framework, legal documentation, validation and deployment, and the STO itself. It is published at stobox.io/framework.
Yes. Stobox contributes to ERC-7943 (uRWA), the universal standard for compliant real-world-asset tokens, and is a Founding Member (Corporate) of the STO Foundation.
The parent company, Stobox Technologies Inc., is a US corporation. Product entities for token issuance are wholly owned subsidiaries.
No. Stobox builds infrastructure for regulated, compliant tokenization of real-world assets – securities law first, blockchain as the rail.

A source-of-truth engine for your company: a canonical, sourced record where every datapoint is typed, dated, and status-tagged, with automatic contradiction detection and a readiness score.
One structured, verified description of your business – financials, legal structure, ownership, compliance posture, operations – kept complete, current, and consistent, with every fact traceable to a source document.
Raises stall on gaps: numbers that disagree, documents that are missing, disclosures that do not match the financials. A verified record removes the friction that kills deals in diligence.
After 100+ engagements the pattern is consistent: businesses fail at tokenization and fundraising because they are not ready, not because technology is missing. Readiness is an intelligence problem, and fixing it comes first.
The full anatomy of the business: the company, its projects, assets, instruments, and offerings – every datapoint typed, dated, and tied to evidence.
Every fact is tagged Verified, Partial, Assumption, or Unverified, so you – and anyone you share the record with – can see exactly how solid each claim is.
The system cross-checks facts against each other and against source documents, and flags conflicts – two different revenue figures, a stale address, a claim without evidence – before an investor finds them.
Diagnosis is free: upload documents, get a partial record, a readiness score, and a list of gaps and contradictions. Acting on it – fixing, verifying, maintaining – is the paid product.
A data room stores files; a record understands them. Intelligence extracts the facts, types them, checks them against each other, and keeps them current – so diligence starts from answers, not folders.
A chat gives you text; a record gives you proof. Intelligence keeps every fact sourced, evidence-tiered, contradiction-checked, and current – which is what banks, brokers, and counsel actually rely on.
Yes. The record model is jurisdiction-aware, and Stobox has worked across 20+ jurisdictions on four continents.

A free score of how ready your business is to raise capital or tokenize, measured across seven dimensions: legal and compliance, asset quality, technology and protocol, transparency, liquidity and markets, governance, and risk mitigation. Same questions and methodology as Stobox Compass.
25 questions, about 5 minutes. You get the score and the gaps immediately.
Yes – free, no card, no email to start. It is the front door to the product: seeing the problem costs nothing.
Legal and compliance (entity, exemption and investor rules), asset quality (whether the thing is worth what you say and who says so independently), technology and protocol (whether the contract and the custody arrangement survive an audit), transparency (whether your numbers can be produced on demand), liquidity and markets (whether there is a route to a buyer or only a hope of one), governance (whether the rules binding the asset are written down and enforceable), and risk mitigation (what happens when something goes wrong, decided before it does).
You see exactly what blocks you and what to fix first. From there you can work the gaps yourself, or let Intelligence and the Stobox team close them with you.
It means you are not ready yet – which is normal. Most businesses start with gaps; the score turns them into a work plan instead of a surprise in diligence.
No. Readiness never averages: if one gate fails, the score says so explicitly rather than hiding it inside a blended number.
At stobox.io/readiness – it feeds directly into your company record if you continue.

Representing ownership or economic rights in a real asset – equity, real estate, funds, debt – as a compliant digital token on a blockchain, with legal rights attached and transfers controlled by rules.
Company equity, real estate, funds and private equity, debt instruments, revenue streams, energy and natural-resource assets – anything with definable legal rights and value.
Cleaner cap tables, programmable compliance, faster settlement, wider investor reach, and infrastructure that works the same across borders – with an audit trail built in.
Yes. A token is a wrapper; securities law applies exactly as it would to a paper certificate or a database entry. That is why compliance must live in the token itself.
A security token represents an investment – equity, debt, fund units – and is regulated as a security. A utility token provides access or function inside an ecosystem.
BCG and Ripple put tokenized real-world assets at roughly $0.6 trillion today, growing to about $9.4 trillion by 2030 and $18.9 trillion by 2033. Institutions – BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, Nasdaq – are already building on-chain.
A lightweight, updatable on-chain record for an asset: core values and compliance status live on-chain, with cryptographic hashes pointing to the issuer's source documents.
Readiness first. Once the record is in shape, a typical private-company deal runs three to six months end-to-end – the calendar is driven by legal structuring, not by the technology.
No. Investors verify identity once, subscribe, pay in stablecoins or fiat rails, and receive tokens in a wallet – guided the whole way. The complexity stays under the hood.
Compliance rules live in a policy layer that can be updated without touching balances or supply – the design assumes rules evolve.
Yes, within the rules of the offering: peer-to-peer transfers between eligible holders, and venue trading through regulated partners such as SEC/FINRA-registered ATSs.
Yes – within existing securities law. Reg D, Reg S, Reg A+, and Reg CF offerings can all be tokenized; the GENIUS Act and advancing market-structure legislation are adding further clarity.

The tokenization layer of the Stobox Stack: compliant issuance and lifecycle management of security tokens, with an On-Chain Asset Passport and role-based consoles for issuers, investors, and verifiers.
Issuance runs primarily on Base – Ethereum's leading Layer 2 – with Arbitrum and Canton also supported.
A US-listed regulated operator (Coinbase) behind it, low predictable costs, Ethereum-grade security, native USDC settlement, and the strongest US-anchored RWA ecosystem.
Structure, document, mint, deploy, and operate tokenized assets through a guided workspace: offerings, cap table, whitelist queue, payments, and an append-only audit log.
A clean subscription flow: the offering page with live on-chain data, guided KYC, document signing, payment, and tokens delivered to a wallet they control.
Yes. The white-label configuration puts your brand and domain in front: your clients see your portal, powered by Stobox rails underneath.
The issuer does, through the console. Stobox provides the rails; control of the asset stays with the issuer.
Distribution flows are managed against the on-chain holder registry, so payouts go to verified holders of record – without spreadsheet reconciliation.
The authenticated home of the Stobox Stack: one login where Intelligence, Raisable, and Compass live as zones on a shared client record.
Yes. Compass is priced and organized per asset; each new instrument reuses your verified record and onboarding.
Guided delivery: structuring support with your counsel, configuration, token operations, and training for your team – on flat published pricing, never a percentage of the raise.
No. Legal advice stays with licensed counsel – Stobox coordinates with them and turns their decisions into working infrastructure.

Not Stobox. Funds move directly from investor to issuer treasury; the platform is non-custodial by design.
Holders do, in wallets they control. Self-custody is the default; institutional setups can use qualified custodians of their choice.
Identity and business verification run at onboarding through established providers, and the result is bound to the investor's wallet – so eligibility is checked automatically on every transfer.
A decentralized identity layer that links verified KYC, accreditation, and jurisdiction eligibility to a wallet, enabling compliant transfers without re-verification.
Transfer restrictions, jurisdiction rules, whitelists, and lockups are encoded in the token itself: non-eligible transfers are rejected by the contract, not caught after the fact.
Because the register is rule-based, recovery procedures exist: verified holders can be re-linked under controlled, auditable enforcement actions consistent with the uRWA standard.
Yes. Contracts are verified on-chain, registries are readable, and independent verifiers can be granted scoped read access – checkable by a stranger, which is the point.
Audited contract architecture, role-based access control, on-chain compliance enforcement, and a policy layer that can halt trading without ever corrupting balances.
Personal data lives off-chain under access control; on-chain there are attestations and hashes, not personal information.
Whatever the offering allows: eligibility is configured per offering – accreditation, geography, investor caps – and enforced automatically.
No. There is no point in the flow where Stobox holds client funds or client assets – that is an architectural rule, not a policy.
Every operational action in the console lands in an append-only log, and every on-chain action is permanently recorded – so the history cannot be quietly edited.

The capital-raising product of the Stobox Stack: offering strategy, exemption path, document generation from your verified record, and broker-package submission to licensed partners.
Regulation D 506(b) and 506(c), Regulation S, Regulation A+, and Regulation CF – chosen per your case with counsel and the broker-dealer.
Licensed distribution partners include tZERO, Texture Capital, Entoro, and Silicon Prairie – regulated venues and FINRA-member broker-dealers.
Never. Stobox charges flat published prices; broker-dealer fees are set and billed by the broker-dealers directly.
A US exemption allowing general solicitation, limited to verified accredited investors. It is the workhorse of private raises – roughly 25,000 issuers raise about $2.15 trillion a year under Reg D.
The US exemption for offers made outside the United States to non-US persons – commonly paired with a Reg D tranche for a global raise.
Yes. International issuers regularly structure US-compliant offerings; the record and the framework handle the cross-border mechanics with counsel.
Offering documents are generated from facts that are already verified and consistent, and broker diligence starts from a clean package – the difference between a raise that completes and one that quietly dies.
Invitation or offering page → identity and accreditation verification → subscription documents signed → payment → securities issued to the investor's account or wallet – all tracked in one place.
Yes – that is the design: Raisable runs the compliant raise, Compass issues the tokenized security, and both work from the same Intelligence record.
The rails fit private raises from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of millions; the structure – exemption, marketing, minimums – is tuned per case.
It helps, but distribution runs through licensed partners and your own channels; the platform gives investors a professional, verifiable front door.

The universal real-world-asset standard finalized in 2026: a minimal, vendor-neutral interface for on-chain compliance – transfer eligibility checks, freezing, and enforcement – across token types. Stobox contributes to it and issues on it.
Stobox's own issuance protocol, built on the EIP-2535 Diamond Standard, encoding compliance controls at the contract level. STV3 tokens align with the uRWA interface.
No. Stobox works alongside ERC-3643 without using it – Stobox tokens implement STV3 and the uRWA standard (ERC-7943).
Standards make your asset interoperable and independent: any compliant venue, wallet, or service that speaks the standard can work with your token – no proprietary lock-in.
Payments in USDC – a fully reserved dollar stablecoin – settle on-chain in minutes with verifiable finality, replacing wire delays in the subscription flow.
Ethereum Attestation Service records – used to anchor verifications (identity, accreditation, facts) on-chain in a standard, checkable format.
An open protocol for metered, machine-to-machine USDC payments – part of the agent-ready payment layer the Stack is built on.
Contract architecture follows audited patterns with role-based access control, and issuance goes to mainnet only through review gates.
Yes – the record and the rails are API-first: cap-table tools, KYC providers, payment rails, and data rooms connect rather than compete.
Tokens live on public chains under open standards, and holders keep custody. That is the point of standards-based, non-custodial design: your asset does not depend on any one vendor.

A regulated security token representing Class-C equity in Stobox, issued by Stobox Tokenized Equities Ltd and managed on Stobox Compass, on Arbitrum. Details live at stbx.stobox.io.
The offering is live on Stobox Compass at stbx.stobox.io for eligible non-US investors only, as a private placement, with KYC required. Nothing on this page is an offer; any offering is made only through its own documents.
The utility and access token of the Stobox ecosystem – used across the products for access, tiers, and payments. It is not equity and is not offered as a security.
STBU is consolidating from four chains onto one canonical, verified contract on Base. The exchange is 1:1 and free beyond network gas; migrate at stbu.stobox.io.
Burn your old STBU by 15 September 2026; the new Base token is claimable from that date. Holders on exchanges should withdraw to self-custody first.
Exchange-custodied tokens cannot be burned by their owners, so trading paused for the migration. Availability may be revisited after the migration completes.
No. STBX is tokenized equity (a security, on Arbitrum); STBU is the utility token (on Base after migration). Different tokens, different rights, different rules.
Only at stbx.stobox.io and stbu.stobox.io. Migrations attract scammers – never trust addresses or 'support' from social media or DMs.

Free tier $0 · Core $499/month · verified onboarding packages $4,950 one-time.
Deployment engineering is sold in capped blocks of engineer-days at a flat published day rate – never hourly, never open-ended. You know the ceiling before work starts.
Flat prices: an asset mint (On-Chain Asset Passport) is $499 and a contract deploy is $749 – $1,248 to be fully on-chain, on top of the issuer subscription. Third-party gas and filing fees are paid directly, never marked up.
There are no other discounts – and no negotiated specials, because every price is published.
As a published composition: platform subscription plus a one-time readiness/setup package, plus capped engineering blocks only if custom work is required. Your quote is assembled from those rows.
