Glossary of Terms

Security Token Offering (STO): A blockchain-based method of raising capital by issuing digital tokens that represent legal ownership of an asset or company equity. Unlike traditional IPOs, STOs are conducted on blockchain networks and provide programmable compliance and instant settlement.
Equity Tokenization: The process of converting company shares or ownership stakes into digital tokens on a blockchain. Tokenized equity can be traded, transferred, and settled instantly while maintaining regulatory compliance through smart contracts.
Decentralized Exchange (DEX): A peer-to-peer marketplace where users can trade securities directly without intermediaries. Numena operates a decentralized exchange specifically for early-stage equity shares.
Stablecoin: A cryptocurrency designed to maintain a stable value by being pegged to a reserve asset like the US dollar. Stablecoins enable blockchain-based banking without cryptocurrency price volatility.
On-chain Settlement: The process of finalizing transactions directly on a blockchain network. Numena achieves approximately 1-second settlement times for equity trades.
Sub-microsecond Latency: Trading execution speed measured in fractions of a microsecond, enabling high-frequency trading and optimal price discovery for tokenized securities.
Zero Net Fees: A fee structure where trading costs are eliminated or offset, making equity trading accessible without traditional brokerage commissions.
Blockchain Banking: Financial services built on blockchain infrastructure, including deposits, payments, and yield generation using digital assets rather than traditional fiat currency.
