Token-design counsel connects the economic proposal to enforceable rights, issuer obligations and distribution rules. Technical token mechanics should express that design.[1][2]
Understanding the question
Ask the lawyer to explain what holders receive, from whom and under which conditions. Identify transfer, redemption and governance questions. The drafting scope should cover the actual instrument and markets, including changes introduced by secondary trading or new investor groups.[1][2]
Build the working record
| Consideration | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Rights | What claim or entitlement is created? |
| Issuer | Who is responsible for performance? |
| Implementation | How do documents and token behaviour remain consistent? |
Put it into practice
A transferable token representing a non-transferable contractual right creates a design problem that counsel and engineers must resolve together.
