Token Waterfall

We provide a structural framework for representing the entire capital stack of alternative investments in a digital format so that we can leverage distributed ledger technology to store and transfer interests. We create two separate tokens: one senior in priority of payments replicating debt and the other junior in priority of payments replicating equity. A simple two-token structure can incentivize both parties to perform optimally. Regulatory compliance and adherence to the legal agreements is codified into the smart contract. Administration of the tokens is via third party administrative agent/trustee multi-signature wallet. The structure represents a simple framework that is generalizable beyond two tokens and can potentially be replicated for more sophisticated deal types. With this mechanism we are bringing structured finance to the blockchain ecosystem in a compliant manner while enabling investors to more easily access liquidity.
