Are ERC-S tokens securities?

ERC-S tokens are designed with a focus on governance and utility, not as financial instruments or ownership interests.

Street is a standard for tokenized startup ecosystems. We work with founders from day zero to introduce structured, onchain participation layers around their companies that are designed with clear rules, transparency, and defined processes. This enables new forms of distribution, engagement, and credibility at scale.

How is this different from traditional crowdfunding and private equity?

Traditional private equity is gated - 10 year lockups, $1M minimums, insider only dealflow. Crowdfunding expands participation, but often without consistent standards. Street bridges this gap by introducing a structured, transparent participation layer around early stage companies.

Why would I list on Street?

Founders activate aligned participation, bootstrap distribution, and signal credibility from day one. Thousands of participants don't just engage with your ecosystem — they become contributors, users, and network nodes. It's coordination and adoption in a single move.

Growth · Use case 01

Move from ad-hoc demand to intentional structure.

Growth-stage demand shows up on its own. Structure decides whether it compounds or fragments.

Market narrative

Where the market actually is.

Growth-stage companies attract interest whether they plan for it or not. Prospective hires, strategic partners, secondary buyers, media. Each group routes itself through whatever channel it can find, and the founder spends most of the quarter triaging the overflow. Demand is there. Structure is not.

Legacy token logic

What usually breaks.

Legacy token logic lets the market define the structure by default. If a synthetic venue prices the equity, the synthetic venue becomes the reference. If a broker compiles a waitlist, the broker compiles the narrative. The company ends up reacting to structure it did not design, and the demand it attracted starts working against it.

The ERC-S migration

Upgrade the architecture. Keep the roadmap.

ERC-S gives demand a defined route before the market invents one. Secondary interest flows through a sanctioned participation venue. Contributor interest flows through a structured layer. Strategic interest flows through a live data room. Every category of demand meets a place that was built for it, instead of finding a place that was not.

Deep dive

How intentional structure changes the growth conversation

Intentional structure shifts the question from how to respond to demand to how to route it. Once the routing is decided, every incoming signal lands in the right place automatically, and the founder reclaims the quarter for strategy instead of triage.

Intentional structure also clarifies pricing authority. When a sanctioned venue exists, the external synthetic venues lose their claim on the reference price. Counterparties cite the venue the company can steer, not the one it cannot.

Roadmap note

The roadmap sets priorities. The participation layer absorbs the demand those priorities attract, without forcing a product detour.
