Fund scoping, PFS and DFS work through syndicated royalty financing instead of discounted equity. Retain upside, keep control, and use on-market buy-backs as a revolving cash flow facility.
Access an asset class historically reserved for private equity and specialist royalty companies: high-yield, inflation-hedged, real-asset income, with fractional entry and continuous liquidity.
Assets are evaluated, registered and verified before a single unit is minted; the diligence of a private royalty deal, with the liquidity of a public market.
Off-chain diligence, on-chain efficiency. Every stage is designed to replace slow, manual legal processes with automated clearance and settlement.
Stage 01 Asset and vendor evaluated against listing criteria; AML/KYC verification completed and the asset registered in Monark's tenement & royalty database.
Stage 02 The royalty deed and supporting technical documentation are minted as digital cryptographic tokens on-chain, tied to the underlying legal agreement.
Stage 03 The asset is split into digital units representing fractional ownership; holders gain access to a live data room to track project performance.
Stage 04 Investors trade on a continuous 24/7 order book with fast settlement; smart contracts distribute cash yield directly to holder wallets.
