Equity Token Platform Development
The Equity Financing of new companies is common practice to dilute shares to raise capital. The traditional method involves the existing shareholders diluting the company for new investors to raise capital in several rounds. There are two stages in equity token based finance; Private Locked up Stage and Public Liquidity Stage. You can keep the stocks as non-dilutable during the lock-in period. The tokens are available for investors through Equity Token Offering(ETOs)
ETO development is typically carried out with the objective of raising capital through share dilution. Current shareholders in a firm dilute their holdings so that fresh investors can infuse new capital through multiple rounds of funding. There are two phases in equity-based financing — public liquidity stage and private locked upstage. Over the lock-in period, the stock can be retained as non-dilutable. The tokens are distributed to investors via Equity Token Offerings (ETOs).
Equity Token Offerings provide the following advantages to prospective investors:
- Voting rights,
- Automated dividends,
- Buyback rights,
- Profit share rights,
- Holdings in another fund, and finally
- Cash flow.
Types of Equity Tokens

Only when all unissued shares are sold is when the existing shareholders have diluted their shares. The number of tokens represents the number of shares in the company which is etched on a smart contract. As the company grows the stake held by the investor reduces, however, the stake is more valuable.
Non-Dilutable Tokens
Each token is equal to a percentage share on the company forever. The investor holds the percentage of the company, as long as the token is his/her wallet. The anti-dilution premium is added as an insurance, for the investor to remain in the company without diluting their assets. The provides an opportunity to get a future value at the present. Dilutable equity tokens are recommended instead of non-dilutable tokens.
