DESICO

Welcome to the world of Security Tokens

Invest into most promising startups and receive quarterly payouts! DESICO is the STO platform to issue and trade security tokens in full compliance with the law.

About DESICO.io?

DESICO is the world’s first platform to issue, buy, and sell security tokens in full compliance with the law. Its ecosystem will disrupt the global $155 billion venture capital market by introducing security tokens through blockchain.

The DESICO ecosystem will include a regulated crowdfunding platform to issue security tokens and an exchange that will provide liquidity to security tokens issued via DESICO from day one. DESICO will also have a payment system based on the European e-money license. This means that it will able to provide ICOs with IBAN accounts from the very first day they become listed on the DESICO platform.

Key components of the DESICO Ecosystem

CROWDFUNDING PLATFORM

DESICO will operate a global EU-based platform offering a fully compliant way for businesses to issue ICOs, and for token buyers to acquire and trade these tokens.

BUILT-IN EXCHANGE

DESICO will operate a fully regulated exchange. It will provide security tokens with immediate liquidity after the successful completion of an ICO on the DESICO platform.

E-MONEY ACCOUNTS

DESICO users will be able to manage both crypto and fiat holdings within the platform. They will also have the opportunity to exchange their cryptocurrencies into fiat currencies within the DESICO exchange.

COMMUNITY

DESI Token

The functionality of the DESICO ecosystem will be based on the DESI token. The DESI token will serve two main purposes:

Payment method within the DESICO Ecosystem

ICOs wishing to issue security tokens via the DESICO platform will have to contribute a certain amount of DESI tokens to the platform as platform fees. Investors will be able to acquire these newly-issued security tokens by paying in DESI tokens. External experts and community members will receive DESI tokens in exchange for their services.

Privileges when acquiring security tokens

DESI token holders will be given exclusive rights on the DESICO platform. These will include early bird access and whale-like bonuses when acquiring security tokens, and being exempt from trading fees on the DESICO exchange.

Token Economy

The supply of DESI tokens will be fixed. All DESI tokens will be created at one time during DESICO’s token crowdsale. Due to their limited supply, the scarce number of DESICO tokens in circulation will increase in value as the demand for them increases.

PROJECTED VOLUME OF ICOS ON THE DESICO PLATFORM

As the DESICO platform evolves, it will onboard more startups who will need to purchase DESI tokens to spend on platform services.

PROJECTED TRADING VOLUME ON THE DESICO EXCHANGE

As DESICO grows, more tokens will be listed on its exchange, and trading activity on it will grow thus increasing demand for DESI tokens.

Why is blockchain essential for DESICO?

To tokenize securities

Blockchain will allow DESICO to implement the tokenization of securities. It will bring a number of advantages for global financial markets, in particular, the removal of intermediaries who need to be paid for their services.

To build a smart contract-based decentralized platform

The use of smart-contracts will enable the full decentralization of the DESICO platform and its services. Thanks to smart-contracts, various service providers and DESICO community members will be able to offer their services on the DESICO ecosystem, and communicate directly with ICOs.

Distributed ledger

DESICO will build an efficient and fully transparent platform, which stores transaction-level data on the blockchain. DESICO is also considering using a sidechain to facilitate and record all transactions relating to the sale and purchase of security tokens.
