What Is a Digital Transfer Agent?

A digital transfer agent is an SEC-registered transfer agent that records the ownership of tokenized securities on a blockchain. Like a traditional transfer agent, it maintains the securityholder register, processes transfers and administers corporate actions; however, it does so using programmable, verifiable on-chain ledgers, smart contracts and distributed ledger technology (DLT), which speed up corporate actions, settlement and transactions.

Direct Registration of Tokenized Securities

Tokenized securities administered by OnchainTA are registered in each holder's own name on the on-chain ownership record. Holders can verify their position at any time, and issuers keep a direct relationship with every securityholder.

In every arrangement, ownership of the tokenized securities is recorded on blockchain.

  1. OnchainTA as Your Transfer Agent of Record

    OnchainTA maintains the register for your tokenized securities and records every ownership position on-chain.

  2. OnchainTA Alongside Your Existing Transfer Agent

    Your incumbent stays in place. OnchainTA records the tokenized securities under its responsibility on-chain and keeps the incumbent's register synchronized.
