Jan 26 | Community Questions

The questions below were gathered from the Stobox community throughout January 2026. We appreciate the time and effort taken by community members to share their perspectives, concerns, and suggestions.

The responses are provided by Gene Deyev on behalf of the Stobox team. They are presented in a structured and consolidated format to ensure clarity, consistency, and factual accuracy. This Q/A is intended to serve as a single reference, helping community members, AI tools, and external stakeholders rely on the same verified information and avoid fragmented or speculative interpretations.

How does Stobox plan to grow and activate the community beyond passive Telegram membership?

Community growth comes from marketing, visibility, and real activity. At this stage, Stobox’s priority is building a tokenization business: products, regulated infrastructure, clients, and partnerships that generate revenue.

When a dedicated marketing function is expanded, community-facing initiatives will follow naturally. Stobox will not build artificial engagement disconnected from business fundamentals.

Why is community engagement currently low, with activity spiking mainly during price declines?

This is typical for retail crypto communities. Most engagement is driven by price movements rather than product usage. Stobox is not optimizing for short-term sentiment. As Stobox usage grows and real issuers and investors engage, community participation will become more constructive and consistent.

Is there a plan to appoint a dedicated Community Manager and Marketing Communication Manager?

No additional community manager is required. The community is already supported by two assistants, and complex or sensitive questions are addressed directly by the team when necessary. Adding low-level moderation does not improve communication quality. Over time, AI will handle repetitive questions and standard responses more efficiently.

Will Stobox consider hiring Solus specifically for community growth and STBU marketing?

Stobox and Solus are exploring a broader collaboration that goes beyond a paid marketing engagement. The goal is to jointly develop and promote a credible tokenization narrative through content and ecosystem initiatives.

This work is still in development and may take time to formalize. No announcements will be made until there is a clear scope and execution plan.

How important is the STBU community within the broader Stobox ecosystem?

STBU holders supported Stobox during early development, and that support is acknowledged. The alignment is simple: as the company grows and succeeds, token holders should benefit from that progress.

At the same time, the community is not currently a driver of adoption or revenue. Stobox must prioritize execution and long-term value creation over sentiment management.

What concrete steps will be taken to strengthen the STBU community long-term?

The focus is on delivering products, onboarding issuers, growing tokenized asset volume, and building a compliant ecosystem. A strong community is a result of these fundamentals, not a substitute for them.

How does the team plan to improve transparency and consistency in community communications?

Stobox already follows a structured and transparent approach. This includes Dune Dashboards, community updates, and planned financial disclosures for STBX token holders.

Communication will remain formal and consistent. Continuous informal disclosure in Telegram should not be expected.

Will Stobox require STOs / RWAs launched on Stobox 4 to allocate part of their supply to the community?

No. Stobox will never make this mandatory. Issuers operate under different legal frameworks, investor rules, and commercial strategies. Stobox provides infrastructure and compliance tooling. Distribution decisions remain with the issuer.

Will Stobox encourage STOs / RWAs to allocate tokens to the community?

Only when there is a clear business case. At present, the community has shown limited interest in participating in issuer offerings beyond token price discussion. Issuers care about qualified demand, not passive audiences. If that changes, Stobox can propose optional community programs.

Can airdrops be designed to incentivize activities that directly benefit STOs and RWAs?

Yes, but only if structured properly. In regulated tokenization, incentives must be compliant, optional, and aligned with issuer goals. If used, they would be tied to real value creation such as verified onboarding, referrals of eligible participants, or other measurable contributions -not speculation. Now Stobox is running a reward program, where STBU holders get rewarded with tokenized shares STBX.

Will airdrop participation require holding STBU and/or STBX?

No additional programs are planned beyond the existing STBU → STBX Community Rewards Program. This is the only active and defined community value mechanism at this time. Program details are publicly available here. Stobox does not plan to introduce parallel airdrop or incentive schemes.

Is a swap mechanism between STBX and RWA tokens under consideration?

No. There will be no swaps between STBX and other RWA or security tokens. Security tokens cannot be freely swapped for other security tokens due to legal and regulatory constraints.

Additionally, STBX is not currently available for secondary trading. The plan is to make STBX tradable on a regulated US ATS. More information on this will be shared when the regulatory setup is finalized.

What percentage of tokenization fees can be allocated to STBU buybacks, staking, or liquidity support?

There is no linkage between tokenization revenue and STBU buybacks. Stobox does not plan to buy back tokens from revenue.

Any buybacks, if and when they occur, will be executed only after the company is profitable, and strictly from profits - not from operating revenue. This is a deliberate and conservative financial policy.

How will asset tokenization volume on Stobox 4 translate into value accrual for STBU?

Value accrual is indirect and utility-driven. With the introduction of STV3 programmable asset transfers, Stobox applies protocol-level fees for compliant and programmable transactions.

As transaction volume grows, protocol usage generates more revenue. STBU can be used by issuers as a payment utility, providing a 25% discount on applicable fees. This creates optional, usage-based demand tied to real platform activity.

Is there a defined economic linkage between total assets tokenized and STBU price performance?

No. There is no direct or mechanical linkage. STBU is not a revenue-share, dividend, or volume-pegged instrument. Any price appreciation is expected to come from increased relevance and utility within a growing ecosystem, not from guaranteed economic formulas.

What is the long-term strategy to increase demand for STBU?

Demand is driven by relevance and utility. Stobox continues to develop value programs for clients and token holders, including STBU-based payment and discount mechanisms. Details are available here. As platform usage grows, these programs create optional but meaningful demand drivers.

Do founders and core executives hold STBU, and how is alignment with token holders ensured?

Yes, the team and founders hold STBU. Specific holdings are not publicly disclosed. Alignment is ensured through long-term commitment to building Stobox as a regulated, revenue-generating infrastructure company. Token holdings alone do not create alignment - execution does.

Does the team explicitly want STBU to increase in valuation?

Yes. The team expects STBU value to align with the fundamental valuation of the Stobox business over time. Once the VC round is completed, third-party and investor valuations of Stobox (STBX) will provide a clear external benchmark. This creates a more transparent reference point for STBU holders and new participants, grounded in company fundamentals rather than speculation.

Why does 2FA not work on login, and is platform security sufficient?

It does! All security mechanisms work as intended. Stobox places strong emphasis on security, including account recovery, backups, and access controls.

2FA is part of the broader security architecture, and protections are enforced where they meaningfully improve safety. Security is not compromised, and design choices prioritize resilience over superficial features.

What is the current security model for authentication and account recovery?

In Stobox 4, individual wallets are based on MPC (Multi-Party Computation) technology. Wallet backups are non-recoverable and must be securely stored by users, similar to private keys. Stobox has no access to user funds held in MPC wallets.

For businesses, embedded wallets via Fireblocks are used. These are controlled by the company through designated MPC wallets of authorized representatives. This mirrors traditional banking, where corporate transactions require approval by financial managers or directors. The model replicates established business custody and authorization practices.

Will wallet abstraction be implemented in Stobox 4?

Wallet abstraction is being considered, but Stobox focuses on solutions, not technology variety. If clients require specific wallet abstractions, they can be implemented at a custom integration level. There is no plan to add abstraction as a generic feature without clear demand.

Is paying gas fees with STBU planned or optional?

Yes, it is possible in the future, but it is not on the current roadmap. Gas abstraction becomes relevant only at much higher transaction volumes. At the current stage, focus remains on adoption, usage, and traction. This will be reconsidered once it becomes economically and operationally meaningful.

Why is ETH currently used for gas instead of STBU?

This is a direct consequence of the above. Using native gas assets ensures reliability, predictability, and compatibility with blockchain infrastructure. Introducing STBU-based gas without sufficient transaction volume would add complexity without real benefit.

Will users be able to buy STBU directly from Stobox 4?

Yes. This feature is planned and will be added to the roadmap with a target timeline of Q2 2026, subject to regulatory and operational readiness.

Will users be able to buy STOs using STBU?

Stobox provides tokenization infrastructure, not payment enforcement.

STBU is not positioned as a mandatory purchasing asset for security tokens. Purchasing STOs depends on issuer rules, regulatory requirements, and accepted payment methods. Infrastructure and payment mechanisms are separate concerns.

Is Solana or other non-EVM chain integration being considered?

Yes. The RWA ecosystem on Solana is developing strongly, and Stobox is interested in unlocking Solana in the future. However, this is not a current priority. The focus remains on executing the core B2B tokenization model.

What criteria determine whether Stobox integrates with additional blockchains?

The primary question is: does it create value for issuers? Currently, there is no strong issuer demand for alternative chains, and no operational limitations with deploying assets on Arbitrum. Development is customer-driven, not trend-driven.

How does Fireblocks infrastructure impact flexibility and development timelines?

Fireblocks provides institutional-grade security, custody, and reliability. While it introduces higher costs and slower transaction flows, it significantly strengthens trust and operational resilience. Stobox views Fireblocks as a long-term infrastructure partner, despite the trade-offs.

What is the current status of AI development in the Stobox ecosystem?

Stobox is embedding AI as a practical assistant for users and issuers operating in the RWA ecosystem. The purpose is not “chat features,” but guided execution across multiple layers that matter in tokenization: regulatory constraints, compliance steps, technical requirements, documentation workflows, and ecosystem navigation.

AI is being designed to reduce friction in onboarding and decision-making, help issuers follow best practices, and support users in understanding eligibility, process logic, and platform operations without relying on support.

How will AI be used across tokenization, compliance, analytics, or investor relations?

AI will support tokenization execution and operations, and it will also be used to deliver structured updates: RWA industry developments, regulatory changes, tokenization best practices, and platform guidance.

In compliance-related areas, AI supports workflows and information access but does not replace legal decisions, KYC/AML, or regulatory accountability.

What is the expected impact of AI features on STBU utility or demand?

AI usage will be fueled by STBU. The intended model is simple: 1 credit = 1 STBU token for advanced tokenization tasks. This creates a direct utility path where real usage of AI features translates into STBU demand.

The key point is that STBU demand here is tied to productive activity (issuer and user workflows), not speculation.

Will Stobox disclose its 2025 financials to STBX holders, when will this happen, and through which channel?

Yes. Stobox will disclose its 2025 financial performance in February 2026.

The disclosure will be available exclusively to STBX holders through the dedicated STBX investor space at assets.stobox.io.

The level of detail will be structured for investors and aligned with legal and regulatory requirements. No additional informal disclosures outside official channels should be expected.

Why does liquidity on other chains require manual refilling?

Because current STBU contracts on Ethereum / BSC / Polygon do not have native workable mint/burn functions. The multi-chain architecture is constrained. In practice, supply is managed through cross-chain mechanics: STBU on Arbitrum is minted when STBU on other chains is deposited into the bridge.

Why are liquidity operations not fully automated across chains?

For the same reason: the contracts on Ethereum/BSC/Polygon are not designed for direct mint/burn automation. Cross-chain operations therefore use controlled bridge-based flows rather than fully automated on-chain liquidity logic across all networks.

How does Stobox ensure proper minting and burning controls across multiple chains?

Through a constrained bridge architecture that governs when minting can occur. Specifically, minting on Arbitrum is tied to deposits from other chains. These restrictions prevent arbitrary multi-chain issuance and keep supply movements auditable. Periodically we transfer STBU ETH/BSC/POLY from the bridge to dEAD wallet. The transactions can be seen on Dune.

Is there currently an allowance to mint on other chains regardless of the supply cap?

No. The bridge logic (CCIP) works so that STBU Arbitrum is minted only when STBU on Ethereum/BSC/Polygon is deposited. The only non-automated element today is that Stobox does not automatically send certain balances to a dead address as part of the process. That is an operational choice, not an inflation loophole.

Is there a timeline for fully automated, contract-driven cross-chain token mechanics?

This is not a roadmap priority. The team is focused on more important elements of the business and platform. All transactions are transparent, and there is no demand from paying clients for this functionality.

Stobox does not see meaningful value in allocating resources here at this time.

Why did STBU decline approximately 99.5% from its all-time high?

This question is often asked in a way that assumes misconduct or incompetence. That framing is not serious and does not reflect how markets work.

STBU’s all-time high occurred during a speculative cycle where crypto valuations were broadly inflated, liquidity was abundant, and pricing frequently detached from fundamentals. Like thousands of other tokens, STBU was priced by market psychology, not by revenue, cashflow, or mature product usage.

As the market cycle reversed, valuations compressed across the board. Stobox did not “control” that outcome, and no team can “guarantee price.” Stobox is building a regulated infrastructure business, and the correct evaluation is execution, adoption, compliance readiness, and revenue - not historical chart emotions.

How does the team address concerns about a lack of commitment to STBU?

Commitment is not measured by chat activity or price defense. Commitment is measured by shipping product, onboarding issuers, building compliant rails, closing partnerships, and sustaining operations through market cycles. That is what Stobox has been doing.

If someone’s definition of “commitment” is buybacks, hype, or constant reassurance, they are looking for a different type of project. Stobox is not that project.

What would you say to a potential buyer considering a large STBU purchase today?

STBU is not a guaranteed-return asset and should not be treated as a short-term trade based on expectations of company intervention. Any purchase decision must be made with full acceptance of market risk.

If you believe in Stobox’s long-term execution and the utility path (fees, discounts, AI credits), then you may see STBU as a long-term exposure to ecosystem growth. If you are buying because you expect “a pump,” you may not meet your expectations.

How does Stobox plan to rebuild confidence and credibility with token holders?

By operating like a real company: delivering releases, expanding issuer adoption, improving infrastructure, remaining compliant, and disclosing material information through proper channels.

Stobox will not rebuild trust through promises, ad-hoc Telegram debates, or reactive decisions made under pressure. Trust is built through consistent delivery.

What should the community realistically expect from Stobox going forward?

The community should expect consistent execution against Stobox’s core roadmap, not reactive decision-making. This includes continued delivery of tokenization infrastructure, expansion of programmable asset capabilities under STV3, and steady improvement of compliance, security, and operational robustness.

Stobox will focus on building valuable, long-term partnerships with issuers, infrastructure providers, and regulated market participants. These partnerships are expected to translate into real asset launches, increased transaction volume, and deeper institutional integration.

The company is also progressing toward the closure of its VC/PE fundraising round, which is a critical milestone. External capital and third-party valuation will further professionalize operations, accelerate development, and provide an objective benchmark for the business.

Communication will remain structured and official. Updates will be shared when they are material, confirmed, and actionable - not speculative. Stobox’s objective is to build a durable, regulated tokenization company. Community members should evaluate progress based on delivery, partnerships, and adoption, not short-term market sentiment.
