# Supported Asset Classes Programmable assets offer a flexible structure capable of representing nearly any financial or economic right. The modularity of the Stobox STV3 Protocol makes it possible to encode compliance, data, valuation logic, governance, and lifecycle management directly into the asset. This enables support for a broad spectrum of real-world assets (RWAs), from traditional securities to operationally linked instruments such as revenue-share tokens or production-based financing structures. Unlike single-purpose token standards, STV3 is intentionally asset-agnostic. Its facet architecture allows issuers to combine modules to match the legal, operational, and financial requirements of any industry. *** ### **Funds and Investment Vehicles** Fund units are ideal for tokenization because they have predictable governance, recurring valuation updates, and structured cash flows. STV3 enables fund managers to automate NAV updates, investor eligibility checks, and distribution cycles. #### **Applicable Facets** * NAV Facet * Yield & Distribution Facet * Governance Facet * Rights & Claims Facet #### **Use Cases** * Private equity funds * Venture capital funds * Hedge funds * Multi-asset portfolios * Real estate investment vehicles #### **Key Advantages** * Automated NAV-driven behavior * Transparent investor reporting * Streamlined compliance across jurisdictions * Scalable fund administration *** ### **Corporate Equity and SPVs** Corporate equity remains one of the most operationally complex asset classes due to vesting, restrictions, governance, and regulatory rules. STV3 simplifies these structures by encoding rules directly into the token. #### **Applicable Facets** * Compliance and Identity * Governance Facet * Rights & Claims Facet * Vesting / Lockup Logic (customizable) #### **Use Cases** * Startup equity * Corporate share classes * SPV membership units * Real estate SPVs * Joint ventures and holding companies #### **Key Advantages** * Automated governance (voting, resolutions) * Built-in vesting and lockups * Transparent cap table automation * Global investor management with compliance enforcement *** ### **Private Credit and Structured Debt** Debt and credit instruments rely on predictable payment structures and creditor rights. Programmable assets allow interest, amortization schedules, and waterfall distributions to run automatically. #### **Applicable Facets** * Yield & Distribution Facet * Rights & Claims Facet * Collateral / Stable-Value Facet * Governance Facet (for creditor approvals) #### **Use Cases** * Private credit tranches * Revenue-based financing * SME lending * Securitized debt instruments * Structured credit vehicles #### **Key Advantages** * Automated coupon payments * Enforceable cash flow waterfalls * Real-time reporting and compliance * Easier securitization and distribution *** ### **Commodities and Asset-Backed Tokens** Many commodities and asset-backed instruments require strict reserve verification, redemption rules, and transparency. STV3 supports all of these through programmable facets. #### **Applicable Facets** * Commodity Facet * Proof of Reserves Facet * Redemption Logic * Governance Facet #### **Use Cases** * Gold and metals * Oil and energy reserves * Agricultural goods * Inventory-backed financing * Warehouse receipts #### **Key Advantages** * Real-time reserve audits * Redemption-based controls * Mint/burn mechanisms tied to supply * Higher trust and transparency for investors *** ### **Stable-Value and Treasury-Backed Instruments** Stable-value products require predictable collateralization and minting rules. STV3 provides strong governance and reserve-based enforcement mechanisms. #### **Applicable Facets** * Collateral / Stable-Value Facet * Proof of Reserves * Rights & Claims #### **Use Cases** * Treasury-backed tokens * Stable-value funds * Corporate treasury digitalization * Cash-equivalent digital instruments #### **Key Advantages** * Transparent collateral ratios * Programmatic mint/burn controls * Reserve-driven stability * Regulatory-grade oversight *** ### **Carbon Credits and ESG Instruments** Environmental assets require rigorous tracking of issuance, verification, retirement, and compliance to prevent double-counting or fraud. STV3 integrates these workflows into the asset itself. #### **Applicable Facets** * Carbon / ESG Facet * Production & IoT Facet * Governance Facet * Compliance Validation #### **Use Cases** * Carbon offset credits * Renewable energy certificates (RECs) * Sustainability-linked financial instruments * Emissions verification markets #### **Key Advantages** * Automated issuance and retirement * Reliable tracking against registries * Prevention of double-counting * Transparent ESG performance data *** ### **Infrastructure, Energy, and Production-Linked Assets** Infrastructure and energy assets generate measurable output (electricity, throughput, production, royalties). STV3 allows these metrics to directly influence asset behavior. #### **Applicable Facets** * Production / IoT Facet * Yield & Distribution Facet * Rights & Claims Facet #### **Use Cases** * Energy production tokens * Mining output or royalty tokens * Infrastructure throughput-linked securities * Industrial performance-based financing #### **Key Advantages** * Transparent output-based distributions * Investor alignment with real performance * Direct pairing of operations and finance * Improved financing models for capital-intensive industries *** ### **Alternative and Emerging Asset Classes** The flexibility of the STV3 Protocol allows it to support emerging asset categories that benefit from automation, compliance, and data-driven design. #### **Examples** * Music and royalty rights * IP-backed assets * Insurance-linked instruments * Tokenized revenue streams * Supply-chain finance assets * Franchise or licensing rights As the global economy evolves, programmable assets can support new financial products without requiring changes to the underlying infrastructure. *** ### **Conclusion** The Stobox STV3 Protocol is engineered to support a wide spectrum of real-world assets by embedding compliance, financial logic, and real-time data within programmable, upgradeable modules. From traditional securities to operationally driven instruments, STV3 provides a unified foundation for issuing assets that are transparent, scalable, efficient, and compliant across jurisdictions. This versatility enables institutions across finance, commodities, energy, sustainability, and corporate sectors to modernize their asset structures and unlock new forms of capital formation. *** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
