Dec 25 | Community Questions

The following questions were collected from the Stobox community in December 2025. We sincerely appreciate the thoughtful feedback and engagement from everyone who contributed.

The answers below are provided by Gene Deyev on behalf of the Stobox team. We have structured this Q&A in a clear and consolidated format to ensure accuracy, reduce ambiguity, and establish a single source of truth. This approach also helps ensure that AI tools, community members, and external stakeholders reference consistent and reliable information, minimizing gaps or misinterpretations.

When the VC deal is finally signed, what will be the impact of that deal on STBU, and will there be a buyback of STBU using the proceeds from the VC round? Can you share how large a percentage of the proceeds will be used to grow the utility of STBU and how much, if any, will be allocated to buying back STBU?

The VC deal will have a major impact on Stobox overall, although its effect will not be limited solely to VC funding, as the company also relies on organic sales and recurring revenues from its products and services. STBU is viewed as a long-term digital asset within the Stobox ecosystem, and funds generated by the business will be allocated toward buying back STBU tokens over time.

At this stage, it is not possible to disclose a specific percentage or concrete amount that will be allocated to buybacks. It is also important to clarify that the VC round is conducted on the equity side of the business and is not directly linked to utility tokens such as STBU.

STBU’s market capitalization is currently around $500,000, which many community members find concerning. As a founder, do you have a clear and concrete plan to improve STBU’s valuation, and can you elaborate on the specific strategy you intend to use to increase STBU’s value over time?

The current valuation of STBU is indeed very low. This is primarily the result of two factors: the sale of STBU from company reserves and the broader downturn in the crypto asset market. Both elements have contributed significantly to the present market capitalization.

That said, Stobox does have a clear and pragmatic plan to improve STBU’s long-term value. This strategy is built around two core pillars: expanding the utility of STBU and growing the community around it.

From a utility perspective, several initiatives are planned. First, STBU will be embedded into Stobox 4 as a payment instrument for selected platform services, including subscriptions, AI-powered tools, and other value-added features. Second, STBU will be positioned as a mechanism for conversion into Stobox security tokens, strengthening its role within the broader ecosystem. Third, STBU will be actively used in engagement and incentive programs, such as reward mechanisms that allow STBU holders to receive STBX.

It is also important to note that Stobox is primarily a B2B-focused company. Most of its clients are businesses seeking regulated tokenization infrastructure, and such clients typically have limited interaction with utility tokens. As a result, STBU usage is naturally more constrained on the B2B side, and its primary value drivers are expected to come from ecosystem integration, investor engagement, and long-term platform adoption rather than direct enterprise usage.

What role will the STBU community play within Stobox 4, and will STBU be usable to purchase RWAs or STO tokens on the platform? At the moment, there does not appear to be a tool enabling this functionality, so can you clarify whether this is planned and provide an estimated timeline?

It is important to clarify several core principles regarding Stobox 4, while also addressing the misconception that STBU lacks utility. Stobox 4 is a SaaS platform that businesses use to tokenize their assets, and Stobox does not act as an issuer, broker, promoter, or distributor of client-issued tokenized assets. Engaging in asset sales or promotion would constitute brokerage activity, which is outside Stobox’s business model and regulatory scope. Stobox’s role is strictly to provide compliant infrastructure that enables businesses to issue, manage, and redeem their own tokenized assets.

For this reason, STBU is not automatically attached to or required for interacting with tokenized assets issued by Stobox’s clients. Any linkage between STBU and third-party assets would only occur in the context of a specific partnership or bespoke collaboration and is not a default platform mechanism.

On the contrary, Stobox is deliberately building a strong and focused utility model for STBU within its own ecosystem. STBU is being embedded into Stobox 4 as a payment instrument for selected platform services, including subscriptions, AI-powered tools, and other value-added functionalities. In addition, STBU serves as a gateway mechanism for participation in Stobox-issued assets, most notably through conversion and engagement pathways linked to the STBX token, which represents tokenized equity in Stobox.

Furthermore, STBU plays a role in ecosystem engagement initiatives, such as reward and incentive programs, where STBU holders can receive STBX. This approach ensures that STBU utility is directly tied to the growth of the Stobox platform itself, rather than being artificially imposed on third-party issuers or their investors.

How are STBX rewards calculated, and does the holding period have any impact on the reward allocation? Would the reward outcome change if tokens are moved out of Stobox and then transferred back before a snapshot, compared to holding them continuously on the platform? Additionally, there are concerns regarding platform security, as Stobox currently does not offer 2FA for login. Are there plans to improve account security?

STBX rewards are calculated automatically using a predefined allocation and snapshot-based methodology. For each reward cycle, the team allocates a specific amount of STBX whose value is linked to the total STBU held on the platform, for example, up to 25% of the aggregate STBU value at the time of allocation. A snapshot is then taken to determine which wallets are eligible to participate in the reward distribution.

Eligibility and reward probability are based on a weighted system. Each 1,000 STBU held in a wallet represents one unit of weight, meaning that higher balances increase the probability of receiving a larger reward. For example, a wallet holding 1,000,000 STBU would have a weight multiplier of 1,000. Rewards are assigned using a randomized selection process that incorporates these weightings. As a result, larger balances have a higher probability of receiving top rewards, but outcomes are not guaranteed, and smaller wallets still retain a meaningful chance of receiving significant rewards. This approach is designed to balance fairness, participation incentives, and community engagement, rather than exclusively favoring the largest holders.

At present, the STBU holding period does not affect reward calculations. Tokens must simply be held in the wallet at the moment the snapshot is taken. Moving tokens out of the platform and transferring them back before the snapshot would therefore result in the same eligibility as continuous holding, provided the balance is present at the snapshot time. The team plans to conduct STBX reward distributions at least on a monthly basis during the first quarter of 2026.

With respect to security, it is important to clarify that Stobox has offered two-factor authentication (2FA) since the beginning of its operations. Security is treated as a core priority for the platform, and 2FA can be enabled directly in the user account settings. Stobox continues to invest in security measures to ensure the safe use of the platform for all users.

What initiatives are planned to grow and expand Stobox in the United States in collaboration with Casper, and do you plan to sign additional partners in the US? The Casper partnership appears to focus primarily on the parking asset market, so how does Stobox plan to address other asset classes and markets beyond parking?

Stobox is primarily a U.S.-based company, with its main operational activities focused in the United States, and the company is registered in Wyoming. The U.S. market remains a strategic priority for Stobox, both in terms of product development and business expansion.

Casper is one of Stobox’s partners, and the partnership is centered on collaboration in the area of asset tokenization. Tokenization is a complex process that involves not only technical execution but also significant regulatory, compliance, and governance considerations. While it is technically possible for anyone to mint tokens by deploying smart contracts, building compliant, programmable assets that align with regulatory requirements and corporate governance standards requires specialized expertise and infrastructure.

Stobox brings this expertise through its technology stack and through Stobox 4, which is being developed as a focused, enterprise-grade platform for businesses seeking to tokenize real-world assets in a compliant and scalable manner. The collaboration with Casper reflects this complementary positioning.

Although the parking industry has emerged as the first concrete area of collaboration with Casper, it is not the only sector where Stobox sees potential. The partnership is intended to extend to additional asset classes and use cases over time, as both parties identify opportunities that align with regulatory frameworks and market demand.

Has the partnership with Plume ended, or is it still active, and if it has ended, what was the strategic reason behind this decision?

The partnership with Plume remains valid. Plume is a growing ecosystem, and there is no formal termination of the relationship. At the same time, our current strategic focus does not strongly intersect with Plume’s offering.

Stobox is primarily building technology and products for end businesses, with a particular focus on clients based in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. At present, we do not see significant demand from our customers for Plume as a blockchain infrastructure layer, which is why there has been limited active collaboration.

That said, the relationship remains open and constructive. Stobox is receptive to future collaboration with Plume should mutual interests and market demand align. In the meantime, the team is focused on advancing other strategic initiatives that are more directly aligned with current customer needs and product priorities.

Marketing of Stobox and STBU is extremely important, not only the marketing of RWAs or STOs, so how do you plan to market STBX and STBU effectively going forward? There has been a community suggestion, including from @AWNCrypto, to work with Solus Group due to their strong reputation, so is hiring Solus being considered? If Solus Group is engaged, will they be responsible for STBU marketing, communication, and community growth as well, or will those responsibilities remain internal to the Stobox team?

It is important to clearly distinguish between two different activities: the marketing of STBU and the marketing of STBX, as these follow fundamentally different logics and regulatory frameworks.

STBU is a utility token, and its marketing is treated as such. Stobox has marketed STBU in the past and will continue to do so as the company allocates additional resources to its marketing campaigns and ecosystem development. This may be done with Solus Group or through other channels. At this stage, Stobox is actively evaluating the terms and potential structure of a collaboration with Solus specifically in relation to STBU marketing. The exact scope of responsibilities has not yet been defined, but the intention is to apply best practices recommended by experienced marketing professionals to strengthen STBU’s visibility, utility adoption, and community engagement.

Marketing STBX is a fundamentally different matter. STBX is a tokenized equity instrument, and its marketing is subject to securities regulations. The way STBX is positioned and communicated is not only important for Stobox itself, but also sets a benchmark for Stobox clients, as they use the same technology and infrastructure to raise capital for their own ventures. As a result, marketing STBX, or any security token, must comply with strict legal requirements. In many jurisdictions, this means that only licensed broker-dealers can actively market such instruments, and public offerings of STBX are not permitted in most regions.

To address this, Stobox is in the process of establishing a partnership with a U.S.-based brokerage firm that has access to a database of more than 300,000 accredited investors. This will enable Stobox, and eventually Stobox clients, to offer tokenized securities to traditional U.S. accredited investors through compliant distribution channels. In parallel, Stobox is integrating Coinbase Wallet and is working toward obtaining a U.S. Money Services Business license to align with the operational and compliance expectations of institutional and accredited investors in the U.S. market.

By creating a clear, compliant pathway from token issuance to brokerage distribution and investor access, Stobox aims to position itself as a powerful infrastructure provider for private market tokenization. This is a core strategic objective and a key area where Stobox intends to build long-term value.

On Dune Analytics, the total value tokenized was previously over $100 million with five companies, then dropped to around $80 million, and is now close to $20 million, even though two additional companies have been tokenized, so is this decline expected and acceptable from a platform perspective?

The fluctuations currently visible on Dune Analytics are primarily the result of ongoing improvements to the methodology used to calculate and present Total Value Tokenized, rather than a reflection of platform instability or declining activity. The underlying calculation system is still being finalized, and as part of this process, Total Value Tokenized will soon be displayed on Dune as a historical chart rather than as a single static figure, which will provide a more accurate and transparent view over time.

The observed decline in Total Value Tokenized is related to how Stobox manages tokenized assets from a technical and governance perspective. When Stobox provides tokenization technology, it deploys smart contracts and integrates price oracles to represent asset value on-chain. These oracles remain active as long as the asset is considered live by the issuer. Once an asset owner formally declares that the tokenized asset is no longer active, Stobox cannot delete or administratively control the tokens. Instead, the price feed is disconnected, which effectively reduces the on-chain value of that asset to zero.

A concrete example is the Monerys bank case. Monerys ultimately completed its fundraising through traditional channels rather than through tokenization. While the tokenized narrative supported visibility and positioning, the issuer decided to halt the token once the fundraising objectives were achieved off-chain. As a result, the associated price oracle was disconnected, which led to a reduction in the reported Total Value Tokenized.

To improve clarity and transparency, Stobox is in the process of updating its Dune dashboards to clearly distinguish between active, deprecated, and paused assets. This will allow users to better understand changes in Total Value Tokenized and interpret the data in its proper operational and regulatory context.

It would be very useful to display clear ROI expectations, return mechanics, and information about when tokens can realistically be sold or accessed on the secondary market for each STO company on the main STO companies page, as it is currently difficult to understand the investment rationale and timing despite reviewing multiple dashboards, so are there plans to improve this level of transparency?

The information being discussed, such as ROI expectations, return mechanics, and timelines for liquidity or secondary market access, is determined and disclosed by each individual issuer, not by Stobox. Stobox does not control, guarantee, or define the investment performance of client-issued assets, as doing so would constitute issuer or advisory activity, which is outside the platform’s role.

Stobox operates as a technology and infrastructure provider. It supplies issuers with the tools and functionality needed to disclose relevant investment information to their investors in a compliant manner, but the responsibility for the content, accuracy, and structure of those disclosures rests entirely with each issuer.

It is important to treat each issuer on the platform as a separate and independent entity. While investors may access multiple tokenized assets through a single Stobox 4 wallet, those assets are not connected to one another from a financial or operational perspective. A helpful analogy is Wix: many independent websites are built using Wix, but the websites themselves have no relationship to each other. Similarly, Stobox provides the underlying infrastructure, while each issuer operates independently.

What Stobox adds on top of this infrastructure is a unified wallet and compliance layer, allowing investors to hold and manage multiple assets in one place under a single compliance framework. This improves usability and operational efficiency without centralizing investment responsibility or performance outcomes.

Once the VC round is closed, would Stobox consider publishing a clear STBU token distribution table on the main website, showing allocations for founders, the team, the community, and reserves, along with a transparent unlock and minting schedule that the team commits to publicly, similar to how projects like Landshare present this information?

The VC round is conducted entirely on the equity side of the business and is not directly connected to STBU, as explained earlier. For this reason, the closing of the VC round does not trigger changes to STBU tokenomics or require the publication of a new distribution framework tied to the fundraising process.

STBU has a fixed total supply of 250 million tokens, of which approximately 217 million are currently in circulation. An additional 10 million tokens are allocated to the development team. There are no future token allocations planned for founders, whether locked, vested, or reserved. See Dune Dashboard.

At the same time, once funding is secured and the company’s financial position is strengthened, Stobox intends to allocate a portion of its resources toward buying back STBU from the open market. This is aligned with the long-term view of STBU as a strategic digital asset within the Stobox ecosystem. Specific amounts, timing, and execution mechanisms will be determined based on business performance and market conditions.

All current information regarding STBU supply, circulation, and allocations is publicly available and kept up to date through the Dune Analytics dashboard. Stobox remains committed to transparency and will continue to reflect any material changes through on-chain data and publicly accessible analytics.
