Wallet Security Best Practices
| Practice | Description |
|---|---|
| 🔐 Seed Phrase Backup | Store securely offline, never digitally |
| 🔒 Hardware Wallet | Use for holdings >$10,000 |
| 🚫 Never Share Keys | No legitimate service will ask for private keys |
| ✅ Verify Transactions | Always review before signing |
| 🔄 Regular Updates | Keep wallet software current |
⚠️ Critical: Lost wallet keys = lost tokens permanently. OTCM Protocol cannot recover lost wallet access.
Q: What's the minimum investment?
A: No platform minimum, but practical considerations apply:
// Minimum investment considerations
interface MinimumInvestment {
// Platform Requirements 📋
platformMinimum: "None";
accreditedRequirement: "Must be verified accredited investor";
// Network Costs ⛽
networkFees: {
solana: "~$0.001-0.01 per transaction",
comparison: "50x cheaper than Ethereum"
};
// Platform Fees 💰
platformFees: {
totalFee: "5.0% per transaction",
breakdown: "4.0% OTCM Protocol + 1.0% Issuer"
};
// Practical Minimum 💡
recommendation: {
suggested: "$100+ for meaningful position",
reason: "Fee efficiency and diversification",
note: "Accredited investors typically invest larger amounts"
};
// Regulatory Context ⚖️
regulatory: {
accreditedStatus: "Implies financial sophistication",
suitability: "Ensure investment fits your portfolio",
riskTolerance: "Only invest what you can afford to lose"
};
}
Fee Impact by Investment Size
| Investment | 5% Fee | Net Investment | Fee Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | $5 | $95 | ⚠️ Low |
| $1,000 | $50 | $950 | ✅ Reasonable |
| $10,000 | $500 | $9,500 | ✅ Good |
| $100,000 | $5,000 | $95,000 | ✅ Optimal |
📈 TRADING MECHANICS
Q: How do bonding curves work?
A: Algorithmic pricing mechanism for initial price discovery:
// Bonding curve mechanics
class BondingCurve {
// Price Calculation 🧮
// Price increases exponentially as supply is purchased
calculatePrice(currentSupply, totalSupply, basePrice) {
return basePrice * Math.pow(1 + (currentSupply / totalSupply), 2);
}
// Key Features ✨
features = {
priceMovement: "Increases with buys, decreases with sells",
liquidity: "Always available — no counterparty needed",
slippage: "Predictable based on order size",
discovery: "Fair price discovery mechanism",
settlement: "~400ms finality on Solana"
};
// Trading Example 💼
tradingExample = {
action: "Buy 10,000 ST22 tokens",
currentPrice: "$0.001",
execution: "Instant at calculated price",
priceAfter: "$0.001002 (slight increase)",
nextBuyer: "Pays the new higher price"
};
// Transfer Hook Compliance 🔐
compliance = {
kycCheck: "Verified on every transaction",
accreditationCheck: "Must be accredited investor",
ofacScreening: "Real-time sanctions check",
walletLimit: "Cannot exceed 4.99% of supply",
custodyVerification: "1:1 backing confirmed"
};
}

Q: What happens when a token "graduates"?
A: At $75,000 market cap, tokens graduate from bonding curve to CEDEX order book:
🎓 Graduation Process
| Step | Action | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1️⃣ | 📊 Threshold Reached | $75,000 market cap achieved |
| 2️⃣ | 🛑 Bonding Curve Closes | No new bonding curve trades |
| 3️⃣ | 💧 Liquidity Migration | Bonding curve liquidity moves to CEDEX pool |
| 4️⃣ | 🔥 LP Token Burn | Liquidity permanently locked |
| 5️⃣ | 📈 CEDEX Trading Begins | Order book trading active |
| 6️⃣ | 🔓 Issuer Vesting Unlocks | 20% of issuer tokens unlock |
Why CEDEX, Not Raydium/Orca?
| Factor | Standard DEXs (Raydium, Orca, etc.) | CEDEX |
|---|---|---|
| 🔐 Transfer Hooks | ❌ Disabled on graduation | ✅ Maintained |
| 🎖️ Accreditation Check | ❌ Cannot enforce | ✅ Enforced every trade |
| 🚫 OFAC Screening | ❌ Cannot enforce | ✅ Real-time screening |
| 📊 Wallet Limits | ❌ Cannot enforce | ✅ 4.99% limit maintained |
| 🔴 Circuit Breakers | ❌ Not available | ✅ 30% drop triggers halt |
| ⚖️ Category 1 Compliance | ❌ VIOLATES REQUIREMENTS | ✅ Fully compliant |
⚠️ Critical: ST22 tokens cannot trade on standard DEXs like Raydium or Orca because those platforms disable Transfer Hook controls upon graduation, which would violate SEC Category 1 compliance requirements.
What Changes vs. What Stays Same
| Changes After Graduation | Stays the Same |
|---|---|
| ✅ Pricing: Curve → Order book | ✅ All 42 Transfer Hook controls |
| ✅ Liquidity: Deeper pools | ✅ Accredited investor requirement |
| ✅ Features: Limit orders available | ✅ OFAC screening |
| ✅ Price discovery: Market-based | ✅ 4.99% wallet limits |
| — | ✅ 1:1 custody backing |
| — | ✅ Circuit breakers |
Q: Can I lose all my money?
A: Yes, absolutely. ST22 Tokenized Securities carry significant risks:
// Risk categories
interface TradingRisks {
// Market Risks 📉
market: {
volatility: "Extreme price fluctuations possible",
totalLoss: "Tokens can decline to zero value",
liquidity: "May be unable to sell at desired price",
concentration: "Illiquid securities markets"
};
// Underlying Company Risks 🏢
company: {
businessFailure: "Underlying company may fail",
bankruptcy: "Triggers protective conversion (common stock may be worthless)",
regulatory: "SEC enforcement against issuer",
management: "Poor business decisions",
financials: "Deteriorating financial condition"
};
// Technical Risks 🔧
technical: {
smartContracts: "Code vulnerabilities possible",
blockchain: "Solana network risks",
oracle: "Custody verification system risks",
walletSecurity: "User responsibility for key management"
};
// Platform Risks 🏛️
platform: {
operational: "OTCM Protocol operational failures",
regulatory: "Platform regulatory changes",
custody: "Empire Stock Transfer operational risks"
};
// Regulatory Risks ⚖️
regulatory: {
secAction: "SEC enforcement action possible",
classification: "Regulatory interpretation changes",
international: "Cross-border regulatory issues"
};
}
Risk Acknowledgment
⚠️ Golden Rule: Only invest what you can afford to lose completely. ST22 Tokenized Securities are speculative investments in often illiquid, distressed, or early-stage companies.
What Protective Conversion Does NOT Protect Against
| Risk | Protection Level |
|---|---|
| 📉 Market Losses | ❌ No protection — investment can lose value |
| 🏢 Company Failure | ⚠️ Partial — converts to common stock, which may be worthless |
| 💧 Illiquidity | ❌ No protection — may not be able to sell |
| 📊 Volatility | ❌ No protection — prices fluctuate |
💰 FEES & COSTS
Q: What fees do I pay when trading?

A: Yes, staking OTCM Utility Tokens provides fee discounts:
OTCM Staking Tiers
| Tier | OTCM Staked | Fee Discount | Effective Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🥉 Bronze | 10,000 OTCM | 10% | 4.5% |

⚠️ Note: OTCM Utility Token is a separate token from ST22 Tokenized Securities. It has NO asset backing and is NOT a security.
🛡️ SAFETY & SECURITY
Q: Is my investment protected or insured?
A: Important distinctions between what is and isn't protected:
❌ NOT Protected By:
| Coverage | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 🏦 FDIC Insurance | ❌ Not covered | Not a bank deposit |
| 🛡️ SIPC Coverage | ❌ Not covered | Not a brokerage account |
| 💰 Platform Guarantees | ❌ None | No guarantee against loss |
| 🔒 Investment Insurance | ❌ Not covered | Not an insured investment |
✅ What IS Protected:
| Protection | Description |
|---|---|
| 🏦 Qualified Custody | Backing shares held at SEC-registered Empire Stock Transfer |
| 🔐 Transfer Hook Controls | 42 mathematically-enforced security controls |
| 🔴 Circuit Breakers | Trading halts at 30% price decline |
| 📊 Wallet Limits | 4.99% maximum prevents concentration |
| 🚫 OFAC Screening | Sanctions compliance on every trade |
| 🔄 Protective Conversion | Automatic conversion on adverse issuer events |
| ⛓️ Blockchain Immutability | Transparent, tamper-proof transaction records |
| 🔍 Custody Verification | Real-time 1:1 backing verification (~400ms) |
What Protective Conversion Provides
| Trigger Event | Protection |
|---|---|
| 💸 Issuer Bankruptcy | Series M converts to common stock |
| 🏛️ SEC Enforcement | Series M converts to common stock |
| ⚖️ Criminal Indictment | Series M converts to common stock |
| 🔄 Adverse Merger | Series M converts to common stock |
⚠️ Important Limitation: Protective conversion gives you common stock, which may have zero value in bankruptcy. It ensures you have the same rights as other shareholders, not a guarantee of recovery.
Q: What if I lose my wallet keys?
A: Lost keys = lost tokens permanently. No recovery possible.
// Wallet security requirements
interface WalletSecurity {
// Critical Measures 🚨
critical: [
"Backup seed phrase on paper/metal, stored securely offline",
"Never store seed phrase digitally (no photos, cloud, email)",
"Never share private keys with anyone",
"Use hardware wallets for holdings >$10,000",
"Test recovery process before storing significant funds"
];
// Recovery Reality 🔄
recovery: {
withSeedPhrase: "Full recovery possible",
withoutSeedPhrase: "IMPOSSIBLE — tokens lost forever",
otcmSupport: "Cannot recover lost keys",
blockchain: "Transactions are irreversible",
legal: "No recourse for lost keys"
};
// Hardware Wallet Recommendations 🔒
hardware: {
ledger: "Ledger Nano X/S Plus — excellent Solana support",
recommended: "For any holdings >$10,000",
security: "Keys never leave device"
};
}

| ⚠️ Impermanent Loss | Risk if prices diverge significantly |
| 🔐 Transfer Hooks | Still apply to LP operations |
| 🎖️ Accreditation | Must be accredited investor |
⚠️ Risk Warning: Liquidity provision carries impermanent loss risk. Understand this concept before providing liquidity.
Q: Can I convert tokens back to actual shares?
A: Protective conversion is the primary mechanism, but individual redemption may be possible:
Protective Conversion (Automatic)
// Protective conversion — automatic triggers
interface ProtectiveConversion {
// Trigger Events ⚠️
triggers: {
bankruptcy: "Issuer files Chapter 7, 11, or 13",
secEnforcement: "SEC takes enforcement action",
criminalIndictment: "Company or officers indicted",
dissolution: "Company dissolves",
adverseMerger: "Merger without Series M protection"
};
// Process 🔄
process: {
detection: "Oracle monitors for trigger events",
verification: "Empire Stock Transfer confirms",
conversion: "Series M converts to common stock per Certificate",
notification: "Token holders notified on-chain",
claim: "Token holders claim common shares"
};
// Important Limitations ⚠️
limitations: {
valueGuarantee: "NO — common stock may be worthless",
timing: "Conversion takes 5-10 business days",
registration: "Common stock subject to securities laws"
};
}
Individual Redemption (If Available)
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| 🎖️ Eligibility | Must be accredited investor |
| ⚖️ Rule 144 | SEC restrictions apply |
| ⏰ Holding Period | May be required |
| 📊 Volume Limits | May apply |
| 🏢 Issuer Status | Depends on company reporting status |
// Individual redemption process (if available)
interface IndividualRedemption {
// Eligibility 🎯
eligibility: {
companies: false, // NEVER — permanently blocked
accreditedIndividuals: true,// May redeem for Series M shares
institutions: true, // Subject to verification
nonAccredited: false // Cannot hold ST22
};
// Process ⚙️
process: {
step1: "Submit redemption request via CEDEX",
step2: "Empire Stock Transfer verifies eligibility",
step3: "Rule 144 compliance verified",
step4: "Tokens burned on-chain",
step5: "Series M shares registered to holder",
timeline: "5-10 business days"
};
// Restrictions ⚖️
restrictions: {
rule144: "SEC holding period and volume restrictions",
affiliates: "Additional restrictions for company insiders",
registration: "Shares remain restricted securities",
transferability: "Limited secondary market for shares"
};
// Why Redeem? 🤔
reasons: {
votingRights: "May want voting rights (if Series M has none)",
directOwnership: "Prefer traditional share ownership",
estatePlanning: "Simpler for estate purposes",
taxPlanning: "Tax advisor recommendation"
};
}
💡 Most Investors: Continue holding ST22 tokens for liquidity and trading convenience rather than redeeming for underlying shares.
