Transparency, Accountability, and On-Chain Verifiability
In past week, we've completed a significant update to the LTO bridge infrastructure, focused on improving transparency, accountability, and most importantly, on-chain verifiability of the token supply.
While the LTO bridge has always operated with correct and verifiable accounting internally, this information was stored in the bridge's internal database. With the latest changes, all relevant supply information is now fully reflected on-chain, making it independently auditable by the community and ecosystem partners.
Why This Matters
Blockchain is about trust through verification. By exposing bridge accounting on-chain:
Everyone can verify that the bridge supply exactly matches the wrapped token supply on Ethereum and BSc.
Surplus tokens held by the bridge have been removed.
The total amount of tokens on mainnet matches the total supply as listen on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko.
Key Actions Taken
✨ 1. Pruning of Intermediate Wallets
The bridge uses temporary (intermediate) wallets for token swaps. These tokens should be pruned when the bridge transaction is processed. However, this did not always happen correctly, causing these tokens to remain in the intermediate wallets.
The intermediate wallets are always under bridge control and the bridge tracks tokens on these addresses internally. But this was not clearly visible on-chain.
The following measures have been made to ensure that the bridge supply exactly matches the wrapped token supply.
ERC20 (Ethereum): 351 intermediate addresses where forces through the two-step confirmation process. The token balance on these addresses was automatically burned. → on-chain proof.
Old ERC20 contract: 267 intermediate wallets had received tokens before they were marked as such. These tokens have been burned and the addresses have been registered on-chain as intermediate. → on-chain proof.
BEP20 (BSc): The bridge tracks intermediate wallets and controls them off-chain. The balances of 30 intermidate addresses have been burned by sending them to 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD. → on-chain proof.
Mainnet: Intermediate LTO wallets holding tokens were consolidated. All balances were transferred to the bridge wallet.
Issues that caused intermediary wallets to hold tokens have been solved. Balances will be monitored regularly to ensure a similar situation will not occur in the future.
🔥 2. Burning Surplus Tokens
After consolidating all intermediate balances and reconciling wrapped supply:
A surplus of 26,714,015 LTO remained in the bridge wallet.
These tokens were burned on-chain to ensure the bridge balance exactly matches the amount of wrapped LTO in circulation.
→ Burn transaction on LTO mainnet
✅ 3. Stats and Supply Now Publicly Verifiable
We’ve added public endpoints to expose key supply information:
Reserved: ~0.8M LTO (claimable via the BNB chain recovery tool)
Mainnet Bridge Wallet
Address: 3JugjxT51cTjWAsgnQK4SpmMqK6qua1VpXH
Balance: ~158M LTO (exactly matches total wrapped supply)
What’s Next
Binance is scheduled to convert its BEP20 holdings (over 80% of BEP20 supply) to LTO mainnet and will drop support for the BEP20 wrapped token.
The BEP20 contract is effectively sunset — holders are encouraged to bridge to mainnet using the web wallet.
Bridge logic and stats will continue to evolve with transparency and decentralization in mind.
Final Thoughts
This effort ensures that wrapped LTO tokens are exactly backed 1:1 by mainnet LTO in the bridge wallet.
This is now visible and provable on-chain.
We’re proud to provide this level of clarity and encourage the community to explore the data themselves.

We are excited to share some incentive plans to activate and bring the LTO Network community together.
The team would like to see an activated community and improved engagement in several areas, mostly focused on increased usage of our native network functions and general ecosystem.
We are going to incentivize the following:
Increased community creation of Ownables.
This is a new technology, so we must work together to get it noticed. I've seen small indications from our community and even our own internal developers that this technology holds a LOT of great concepts that have not yet been explored or even thought about. The only way to change this is to get people to try stuff out, get excited, and come up with novel ideas. We believe that increased exposure and unique concepts that utilize Ownables are going to benefit the perception of LTO Network.
We will incentivize the creation of Ownables and showcase them. This will also come with a weekly Ownables competition that includes community voting.
Increase community participation in trading on Binance and sharing their trades via socials.
As part of our ongoing efforts to work towards the revocation of our monitoring tag on Binance, we will incentivize the active showing of your trading activities on Binance. We feel that the more you show how active you are with LTO on Binance, the more likely it is to draw other traders in. This must be done through Telegram and social channels. In the coming week, we will introduce an incentive mechanism for participating.
Better Binance Square and CoinMarketCap updates.
Our team and community will work together to provide better updates on these feeds. This is crucial to get every last eyeball that lands on us to have the most up-to-date and positive news possible for their trading decisions.
Increased engagement on our social media channels.
We will trial new technologies that reward positive behavior on our social media channels. We can explore connecting this to our existing wallet technology for anti-bot verification.
We believe these initial steps will bring positive community unity and behaviors that will lead to a better outcome for the project.

Today, we received a "monitoring" tag on Binance. The tag means that based on some of their internal metrics, Binance sees additional volatility in projects.
What does this mean for LTO Network? It means that users will get some extra warnings from Binance with a warning about the volatility, but in reality, this serves as a formal notice from Binance to the project that they wish to see some metrics improved.
Projects have monitoring tags removed often, and we are convinced that there is nothing that we cannot resolve for Binance to remove this tag. Our team will work on communicating and fulfilling every single one of the metrics that Binance seeks.
From a development and tech point of view, it doesn't change anything. We have a range of amazing products with real utility.
We will continue to update our Universal Wallet.
Our EQTY platform is nearing completion and will be shown to a private group of internal community members this week.
Goland Registry is in testing in Africa, and we will soon make it open source.
We will be launching our decentralized bridge.
We will be launching our music and video Ownables in the near future.
We have already taken concrete steps to resolve this issue and to strengthen our longstanding relationship with Binance.
Our plan from here is:
Continue our communication with Binance about any specific metrics that need to be prioritized to remove the monitoring tag.
Take all necessary steps to ensure that Binance's requirements are being met.
Continually update our community on the progress we have made.
Our community has the team's full support. Rest assured that we take this very seriously and believe that we have the means to remedy any concerns that may exist.

LTO Network Partners with AKRE to Tokenize $25M in Real Estate for EQTY Platform
LTO Network, a leading blockchain infrastructure provider, has signed an agreement with AKRE, a forward-thinking alternative investments assessment firm, to tokenize a part of a $25 million worth of real estate assets project on LTO’s blockchain for our upcoming EQTY platform.
EQTY is an innovative ecosystem designed to tokenize and trade Real World Assets (RWAs), bringing liquidity and accessibility to traditionally illiquid markets. Through this collaboration, AKRE, in partnership with a top-tier Spanish real estate developer, will lead the biggest residential project in one of the most desirable and least developed islands of Spain. Amongst the initial set of investors are important family offices and top firms in real estate financing.
As part of the equity investors, AKRE has decided to leverage LTO Network’s secure and scalable blockchain to issue real estate-backed digital assets, transforming property investment in Spain and greater Europe.
The AKRE project is led by Borja Sacristán, a seasoned industry expert who previously served as General Manager for a family office, managing 300 MM € in assets as well as consulting with LTO Network.
AKRE has set out to revolutionize real estate development by integrating blockchain technology, bridging the gap between traditional property investment and decentralized finance (DeFi), and helping small investors participate in big real estate development projects, where only professional and institutional investors could join before.
Land development projects are perfect for RWAs, as the risk and value of the equity change during the lifecycle of the real estate asset, and token owners can trade the risk and benefit in a transparent market.
Two major developments in Spain and greater Europe have already been confirmed for tokenization on the LTO Network, marking a significant step toward the mass adoption of blockchain-based real estate investments.
Rick Schmitz, CEO of LTO Network, commented: "Our collaboration with AKRE is a testament to LTO Network’s growing role in the tokenization of real-world assets. With EQTY, we are making real estate investment more accessible, efficient, and secure — paving the way for a new era of fractional property ownership."
Borja, Founder & CEO of AKRE, added: "Tokenization is the future of real estate, and LTO Network provides the perfect foundation for building a truly decentralized and transparent ecosystem. Our partnership will enable us to unlock new opportunities for investors while modernizing the real estate sector."
As the tokenization of real-world assets gains momentum, the LTO Network x AKRE partnership represents a significant leap forward in bringing institutional-grade real estate investments to the blockchain.

Our recent AMA on February 5th was an exciting deep dive into our 2025 roadmap, featuring insights straight from our development team and our COO, Shawn Naderi. The community came with great questions, and we shared updates on upcoming features, improvements, and what’s next for our project.
Missed the live session? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
QUESTIONS & RESPONSES (Q & R)
Q: Hi guys, nice to meet you! What is the reason you choose to work for/with LTO and what do you like about developing Ownables?
R1: Well, I was trading LTO and realized this project is one of the very few blockchain projects with the kind of utility I imagine blockchain having.
R2: Three things I am fascinated about, and LTO combines it:
1) Real World Assets (RWAs) represented by Ownables with real documents
2) EVM chain smart contracts development for tokenizing the RWAs
3) making tokenized high-value RWA accessible and liquid to anybody
R3: Had the opportunity to buy in the first seed round and am invested ever since. So when Rick asked me to join the team about a year ago it was a full yes!
R4: Because LTO is building very interesting and novel solutions in the RWA space. It’s a mix of challenging and worthwhile, and I like the hardstuff.
Q: Technical question:
If I build a dynamic Ownable in the SDK on mainnet and upload the ZIP file. The Ownable anchors on mainnet. How can I transfer this to the mobile wallet to test it out?
R: Use the same wallet accounts. But it helps to make a transfer to another wallet to make it show up on mobile. So I suggest uploading and anchoring with one and sending to the mobile account. Else the copy is just on your local machine.
Q: At what point in the future do you expect LTO technology to be used on such a large scale that we as token holders will see real price action?
R: I think the EQTY platform is the killer app we have been waiting for.
Q: Are there plans for more AMAs, webinars, or workshops to increase community engagement?
R: Yes, we have been working around the clock to get the tech right, and I feel that as of this week we have all the tech that I have been waiting for us to have before really pushing for co-marketing partnerships and adoption partnerships. The $LARRY partnership is one such partnership where we will be unveiling a new way to use ownables for promotional purposes by teams and projects outside LTO.
Q: What are the anticipated benefits of launching a Native Ownables Marketplace on the LTO Network? How will this marketplace interact with the broader crypto economy?
R: LTO will be more visible, especially RWAs will create a bigger use case for people, because LTO RWAs are backed by real value. These values can be traded easily on-chain
Q: With a better design for communicating about RWA, does the LTO Network also provide new tools or resources on the website to help developers or businesses in integrating or using RWA on the LTO Network?
R:There is a new website coming with a clearer focus on our RWA structure
Q: How does the new website handle and present information about security and privacy, especially in the context of RWA which often requires high levels of data protection?
R: Our EQTY litepaper will handle this topic.
Q: Hypothetical tech question:
Is it possible to make a consumable that can be consumed multiple times? And how to make one if possible.
R: Yeah, your consumables can be consumed partially several times until completely consumed.
More: https://github.com/ltonetwork/ownables-sdk
R2: It seems there’s a lot of excitement about consumables!!!
Hopefully we can get the demo SDK to integrate the most recent changes so you get to see it all.
Q: What are the potential legal and regulatory implications of swapping RWAs for $LTO tokens, and how does LTO Network ensure compliance across various jurisdictions where the app might be used?
R: To start with, we will tokenize based on Netherlands law (which is pretty good and Firm24 is located there), and the RWAs will comply with the local laws there.
Q: Beyond RWAs, could Ownables be applied to more abstract assets, such as intellectual property, digital identities, or even AI-generated work?
R1: Yes, absolutely. I think an Ownable could even represent the identity of people who could prove their identity and then, e.g. using the NFT part of the Ownable to vote on the EVM chain.
R2: In a sense, these are RWAs too.
Anything that can be an asset that is used in the real world is an RWA. We have been exploring all kinds of abstract use cases, such as writers royalties etc.
Q: Can you guys tell us more about Firm24 and how big of a role they will play to kickstart the LTO RWA revolution?
R: They are the Netherlands largest notary law firm; they will be making our RWAs legally compliant and mean something.
Q: Can you guys tell us more about Firm24 and how big of a role they will play to kickstart the LTO RWA revolution?
R: They are the Netherlands largest notary law firm, they will be making our RWAs legally compliant and mean something.
Q: LTO Network introduces the concept of 'Ownables' for digital asset ownership. Can you explain how the ownership of Ownables works on the network, and what security features are in place to ensure users have true, verifiable control over their assets?
R: Each Ownable has an event Chain in which all the transfers are anchored as unique events with unique hashes. The event chain clearly states the current owner of the Ownable.
Q: What are the unique features of LTO Ownables technology for tokenizing RWA , and how does it facilitate the integration of these assets into DeFi and Web3 ecosystems?
R: Our legal compliance layer, as well as the financial model that Rick and I have created will ensure that there is interest for this technology, so the idea is tokenization happens on the LTO Network, this means the due diligence, legal compliance and notary functions will happen here, but the assets are fractionalized into other chains to provide access to LTO's technology to the greater crypto community.
Q: Can you guys tell us more about the first Ownables Marketplace and on how LTO is planning to get everyone on board that is actually interested in true ownership of digital/RWA assets?
R: Via campaigns and RWA real use cases that are attractive to people (assets can be anything of value, such as luxury watches, gold, companies producing value for society, etc.
R2: LTO’s unique private-public layer poses novel opportunities for how a marketplace should work. We have so far created different pieces for making that possible like the relay, the ownables bridge etc. Parts of the goals in this quarter would be to bring those bits together to form the first RWA marketplace.
Q: How does LTO Network ensure the privacy of sensitive data related to the legal status and ownership of assets?
R: The sensitive data exists on your private chain so it’s totally private. Only anchor proofs exist on the public chain to tell us when and who created that event.
Q: Can you give us examples for people to make use of revenue-generating assets with the EQTY/RWA/Digital assets setup of LTO Network? Is this unique in the space? Who can make use of it, and why should they?
R: Very basic example:
1) Luxury Watch costs 100k
2) The ownable represents (firm24 legal document) the ownership
3) Bridging the Ownable into an NFT (EVM chain)
4) Tokenizing the NFT into RWA tokens
5) Trading of RWA tokens in a uniswap (V3) pool
6) At some point the watch might be sold for 120k (could also be voted by RWA token holders e.g.)
7) All RWA Tokens will be worth 120k and can be redeemed into (e.g.) USDC again (using an EVM smart contract)
Q: How will the Universal Wallet’s integration with Ownables enhance user experience and accessibility? Will it bring more gamification?
R: We are currently working on expanding the whole ownable universe.
In fact, pretty soon the REDEEMABLE ownable type will be launched.
That will be an Ownable with a redeem functionality added, meaning you can keep it or redeem it for a specific amount of LTO. This will be a set LTO and can be different for each ownable or ownable campaign.
Q: How will LTO ensure true asset ownership in a decentralized marketplace without compromising on speed or privacy?
R: It’s the curse of being the first to do awesome work. That’s why we have spent the last two months researching, and improving our proof of concept. So far, it’s clearer how we will get this done.
Q: LTO stated that DeFi Liquidity for LTO RWAs will come from Ethereum and Arbitrum Networks. How does this work exactly, what's the status of development, how is this liquidity 'maintained', and how does it all come together within the ecosystem of LTO Network (and the universal wallet???)?
We are trying to get this running this year.
1) Building Ownable/NFT pair (done, the Firm24 legal docs)
2) Bridging NFT from LTO to EVM and vice versa (LTO to NFT done, NFT into LTO done, but not released yet)
3) Tokenizing NFT into RWA Tokens (almost done, internal testing is ongoing)
4) Uniswap RWA Liquidity Pool (currently ongoing)

LTO Network's KYC services help maintain compliance with anti-money laundering laws and offer Proof-of-Humanity services to protect Web3 and DeFi platforms from bots.
With the launch of the Universal Wallet and Ownables technology, we have seen the transformation of LTO Network from a fairly closed blockchain ecosystem into a network that brings utility to the greater crypto and blockchain community and the rapid onboarding of new projects into our blockchain.
The additional utility and functionality that Universal Wallet and Ownables technology have added to our ecosystem will serve as the foundation for our tokenization and RWA tools and infrastructure, which we believe is the most important utilisation of blockchain technology that we will see over the coming years.
We aim to make LTO Network the premiere blockchain for RWA and Tokenization with our most ambitious roadmap yet. With our expanded development team, we aim to deliver in 2025 more than what we have delivered in any year to date.
Outlined below are the key goals that we have and aim to deliver to expand our functionality and showcase our capabilities in the RWA space.
Solana Bridge
The Solana bridge will allow LTO Network's Ownables technology and EQTY platform to act as Dynamic Layer-2 for Solana, allowing the Solana ecosystem to have RWAs natively on chain.
Eqty Litepaper With the release of our Universal Wallet now complete and a smashing success, our focus will turn towards our EQTY platform. Our plans and the structure for this project will be revealed to the community in the form of a litepaper.
EQTY Platform LTO Network's EQTY Platform is a full featured ecosystem allowing end to end life cycle of RWAs on the LTO Network. In 2025 we aim to deliver this and make it usable for the general public.
It will allow seamless, legally compliant RWA trading across a number of RWA sectors.
EQTY will also offer a full suite of tools for tokenization, due dilligence and KYC as well as a notary system via Netherland's leading notary law firm, Firm24.
EQTY Dex A full featured platform for the decentralized exchange of RWA fractions using LTO Network to secure the assets.
New Types of Ownables We introduced our Ownables technology to consumers via our Universal Wallet. Every day there are new Ownables being made by our community and it's an exciting new dawn for LTO Network.
Currently Ownables are limited to digital images. Due to the expansive and almost endless possibilities of what can be done with Ownables, we aim to offer a showcase of some highly advanced capabilities to inspire creators and allow them to immediately jump into the exciting world of Ownables and utilise their full potential.
Here are some of the Ownables types that we will introduce.
Dynamic Ownables Internal smart contract will allow the Ownable state to dynamically change with an immutable record
Consumables Ownables that can consume and use other Ownables
Music Ownables Ownables that contain embedded music, with an audio player interface in the mobile wallet.
Video Ownables Containing embedded video files, with an audio player interface in the mobile wallet.
RWA Ownables These will have a notarised legal contract embedded with a secure verifiable link to the notary platform.
Native Ownables Marketplace We have completed R&D, and are now exploring launching a marketplace for the trading of Ownables natively the LTO Network. This will ensure that the transactions and utility of Ownables have the maximum benefit for the LTO Network.
Proofi We previously announced our Proofi KYC technology as a partnership with Chainlink. The technology has been developed but not utilised by the public.
We will launch Proofi in a way that brings benefits to the public and integrate it into our Universal Wallet mobile application.
Ownables RWA Swap We have made tools to allow specific LTO Network issued RWAs to be redeemable for $LTO tokens from within the Universal Wallet mobile app. This will be released during the Paris RWA conference.
RWA Paris / Paris NFT Keynote Our CEO Rick Schmitz will be presenting a keynote speech outlining our RWA plans and the EQTY platform at this event.
Sports Tokenization We will tokenize a Michael Jordan collectible RWA to serve as promotion of our RWA capabilities.
Joseph Kilbansky Partnership We will tokenize RWA art from reknown Dutch artist Joseph Kilbansky (who has worked with Jake Paul and various other notable influencers). We aim to issue these tokens and use them as part of an airdrop promotional campaign.
Luxury Goods Airdrop We will further demonstrate the power of LTO Network's RWA capabilities by tokenizing and airdropping fractions of a highly desirable luxury watch from Rolex.
New LTO Network Website We have developed a new website that is further in alignment with our future in the RWA space. The website will offer a design that will enable a better communication of our RWA platforms as well as better access to key information to help promote the utilisation of the LTO Network.
DOCS
We will improve our technical documentation for all of our technologies.
Recreating the SDK in React Native Currently the Universal Wallet is tied into the web SDK's direct code. We will aim to decouple this and update the Universal Wallet interface to be running entirely on React Native. This will reduce development time and offer a more enhanced user experience.
Advanced Staking in the Universal Wallet mobile app Users of our native iOS and Android applications will have access to the full features and easier staking capabilities from within the Universal Wallet app.
Hello! As there were many malicious entries in AIRDROP STAGE 1, we had to implement extra security validation to protect the community's marketing funds.
Google Android participants who have a valid entry can now claim their tokens with the following process:
Step 1: Update to the latest Android version of the LTO Universal Wallet from the Google Play store.
Step 2: Once you have downloaded the wallet, open the main menu.
Step 3: If you are logged into a legitimate wallet (on a real phone, with a unique install, and submitted the form before 11:30 PM UTC on December 28, 2024), you will see a new button that says VALIDATE.
Step 4: Simply press this button, and your AIRDROP submission will be validated.
We will be receiving these validations and will distribute the associated allocations weekly for the next 3 weeks until all valid entries have been paid. Distributions will cease on the 31st of January 2025 at 11:59PM CET.
IF YOU DO NOT see the Validate button, then you are not eligible for the Airdrop Rewards. This is either because you submitted the form too late or because you do not have a legitimate device to participate in the airdrop. If you do feel that this is an error, please send us your TG handle, your wallet address, and the new Installation ID from the latest version of the app.

PHASE 1: QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES FROM THE BENELUX CRYPTO COMMUNITY (BCC) ADMIN
Q: Can you introduce yourself and briefly tell us what LTO Network is?
I’m Rick Schmitz, CEO of LTO Network since 2017. We started with simple anchoring of data on-chain for corporate clients and built it into a multi-solution layer 1. I have a background as a tax lawyer at PWC and Deloitte and LTO Network is the love of my life.
Q: Great! Can you tell us why someone should invest in LTO? What is special about LTO?
LTO focuses on long-term goals. In order to see where the market is going, we look 3 years ahead. Based on those trends we develop solutions that are suitable for the real world. We always take into account regulations and corporate usability. This is why we have been around for 8 years and survived all bears. Our strategy to look beyond the hype is what's keeping us relevant. Our latest solution, Ownables is a great example of that.
Q: Is it possible to explain Ownables a bit for the beginners among us?
Yeah. So, an Ownable is a digital asset that you truly hold yourself. No platform to manage or store that for you. It's the most secure and true digital ownership you can get. Think about it like a "bearer share". This is for people who know how shares in companies worked back in the day. The one that possesses the share is the owner, no questions asked.
Q: Is LTO a market leader regarding Ownables?
We are definitely tapping into this niche. There are of course other parties that have similar solutions but we are able to keep everything cost-efficient (despite big file sizes), manage the assets in the upcoming LTO wallet, and use the technology for a variety of use cases: think collectibles in art, valuables, shares, tokenized VC tickets. All become "bearer shares" in the respective asset.
Q: However, I know back in the day, LTO Network was fully focused on identity management. Is this something that will be combined with the rest of the key targets from LTO Network?
Yeah, that is of crucial importance. Web3 needs a way of seamless identification. That can be a human user interacting on-chain, or an AI agent or oracle. Robots and humans need an on-chain identity that works seamlessly on-chain and cross-chain.
LTO Network has its solution, Proofi (see the LTO network website). I expect so much more traction in the crypto industry on this. We are in talks with all the major Web2 identity providers, and they all agree that verifiable credentials (Web3 identity) are the way to go. Everyone is done with KYC forms and showing passports and bank statements every time you onboard in the Web2 or Web3 space. That's going to change in the next years.
Digital identity wallets for companies and humans will be the norm within 5 years.
BCC Admin: And that's where LTO Network jumps in.
We provide the infrastructure for these verifiable credentials and build an interface with Proofi. It is going to change how we interact with each other.
Q: Great explanation and good to follow. What is the revenue model of LTO? How does LTO Network ensure that it continues to maintain sufficient funds for the upcoming years?
We have projects that bring in revenue and besides that, we have companies that want us to manage their on-chain activity and outsource their transactions to us. We generate income from that. We have enough capital to go for years.
BCC Admin: That's great! I think a lot of people want to hear that because, as you know, in crypto nothing is for sure.
We have a tight CFO that doesn't splurge.
Q: What about upcoming news, sneak peeks, releases, etc? What is coming for LTO?
The biggest upcoming date is December 5. We worked for a long time on our own LTO wallet. With it, you can easily mint, create, and trade your Ownables. That was so much work...Not per se building the wallet, but the number of audits is unreal. A wallet is the top security risk, so you want to make sure it's unhackable.
But we are done with all of that. Just final styling and deploying it into the app stores. I believe that every company and its shareholders will have their shares in the LTO wallet. Self-empowerment is key. I honestly think IPOs in the old system will become redundant at some point. A way cheaper, more global, and less regulated solution is tapping into the secondary market through the tokenization of shares. So that's where my bets are on. Tokenization of Real World Assets (RWAs), especially shares, and derivatives on PE/VC funds.
BCC Admin: That's great news! And also great to hear the great care about this project!
PHASE 2: QUESTIONS ASKED BEFORE THE AMA
Q: How does LTO Network's hybrid blockchain, GDPR compliance, and decentralized identity help companies comply with regulations while improving efficiency? And can you name some of your current partners and potential new users?
The old days are gone. Everyone in Europe will need to comply with MiCA eventually. If you want to do business with anyone using a crypto wallet, the wallet will need to be KYC’d.
We have a wallet coming out in a few weeks that can store your RWAs, and in our roadmap is the ability for the wallet to include identity and self-KYC features. A one-stop shop for your decentralized self. We have partnerships with the UN and Scantrust, as well as with two governments.
Q: The Ownables feature on LTO Network is an innovative concept. How do Ownables enable users to securely own and transfer rights of digital or physical assets, and what are some potential use cases and potential sectors for this feature?
Ownables are truly decentralized digital assets that you own. By default they are private. You can’t see what’s inside an Ownable unless you are the owner. But you can prove its provenance through immutable records throughout the life of the Owanble.
Ownables can contain legal agreements and other assets, which makes connecting to the real world more effective than things like non-fungible tokens. This makes them significantly more useful.
We will be launching our Universal Wallet in the near future and you can play and interact with Ownables yourself. It will also be possible to create Ownables from inside the wallet. The first interface will be very simple Ownables, but we will add more features to create very interesting Ownables with. Such as dynamic Ownables, etc.
We see Ownables being used for anything from storing RWAs on-chain, to digital collectibles, as well as media and art.
Q: Can you provide examples of real-world applications and partnerships that have been developed on the LTO Network? How has the partnership helped both parties grow?
We have many projects that live on the LTO Network. For example, our Legalthings service was purchased by Kate Innovations. They are a large real estate company and this suite is used to make contract workflows much more smooth and robust.
We also have a land registry software which is being used behind closed doors by an African country right now and we are in talks with two more countries.
In the coming year, we will announce usage partners for our Proofi technology, which will help offer KYC for Web3 in a privacy-friendly way as well as expand on our partnership with Scantrust’s technologies. Scantrust works with everyone from LVMH to Dupont and Unilever and they offer LTO Network as a blockchain solution.
Q: LTO Network has strongly positioned itself as a hybrid blockchain for business applications... There are many developments in the field of AI and increasing automation within business processes. I think there are interesting opportunities for integrating blockchain with AI-driven smart contracts and automated workflows.
My question is: Does LTO see a role in this combination? If so, what steps will you/do you want to take towards this integration?
In general, AI and blockchain seem to not be very compatible, but I think that the decentralized workflow technology of LTO is ideal for AI systems from various vendors to collaborate. This will solve issues of trust between AIs.
I like this idea. I'll discuss it with my team.
Q: Many blockchain projects have made big promises about the impact of their technologies, but have often been limited to niche applications without widespread adoption. What makes Ownables different? How can you concretely demonstrate that Ownables are not just a short-lived hype, but a viable solution with long-lasting, tangible value for companies and end users?
Nobody knows the future. Like any good technology, if it fits the needs of the world and we get it in front of the right people, then it will take off. It's as simple as that. We know how to showcase our tech really effectively.
PHASE 3: PUBLIC AMA
Q: How does Proofi ensure KYC and AML compliance for Web3 wallets while maintaining user privacy?
It will be the credentials that are being stored and managed by trusted third parties. Proofi merely confirms that the statement that is made (and needed for the action in Web3) is verified. So, let's say you want to buy beer… You state that you are 18 years old. If you connect your bank to Proofi, it will just confirm if the statement that you are over 18 is correct... Without sharing your date of birth.
Q: LTO Network’s Ownables technology allows Real World Assets to be tokenized. What specific technical features or mechanisms differentiate Ownables from other tokenization models?
It's a technical difference where you are storing all the data inside of the Ownable. Not just a reference to the data. That is the main difference. True ownership inside of the Ownable (basically, an Ownable is a smart contract).
Q: How does Proof-of-Humanity on LTO Network differentiate between legitimate human users and advanced bot systems? What level of reliability has this feature achieved, and what are the fallback measures if it fails to detect sophisticated bots?
That’s simple. Proofi just connects to trusted third parties. For example banks, municipality databases, etc. Bots don't have that.
Q: In the event of major disruptions (such as regulatory challenges or a shift in market trends), how would LTO Network pivot or adjust its current focus on RWAs, privacy, and identity solutions?
We will always make sure we are compliant with regulations. We are frontrunners in that.
Q: Hi Rick, what is in all the years within crypto the achievement where you are the most proud of? And what was your most valuable lesson? Thanks :)
Building LTO Network with a lean team and a kick-ass loyal community for more than 7 years.
Q: Is it a goal for LTO to have a higher token price? Will companies that use LTO Network have to take a lot of LTO off the market, resulting in a higher price?
Yes, correct... More demand means a higher price... Let's make sure all companies will be on LTO.
Q:At which big events can we expect to see you?
NFT Paris in February 2025.
Q: How does LTO Network position itself against other privacy-focused blockchains like Secret Network or Monero? What core differentiators make it the ideal choice for businesses?
I think our connections with real businesses do. My other company, Firm24.com, is part of a 400 million rev group that is fully identity-focused. We have access to that where others don't.
Q: Can you explain how LTO Network's hybrid blockchain architecture balances public transparency with private data security?
That could be a very long answer... But in short: The data that should be private is communicated on a private layer and only to the parties that should have access. The public chain makes sure everything is tamper-proof.
Q: As Web3 continues to evolve, what role does LTO Network see itself playing in the broader Web3 and DeFi ecosystem over the next five years?
We are full in on RWA... That involves a lot of DeFi elements.
Q: Can you elaborate on the data privacy features of LTO Network, and how they differ from other privacy-focused blockchains?
Yeah, we are hybrid. Fully private doesn't work. Fully public also does not (at least for business-sensitive data). And that's our bread and butter.
Q: What types of assets are most commonly tokenized using LTO Network’s Ownables, and what advantages does tokenization provide to asset holders?
Art, collectibles like watches, company stocks, private equity tickets, VC-fund tickets, all hard to get into stuff.
Q: How can LTO Network’s technology help businesses and governments transition towards digital transformation and increased regulatory compliance?
this is something for consultants and integrators that want to use blockchain...We are not so much educators anymore.
Q: Would it be possible for LTO to create a platform for voting in elections in combination with Proofi and Digital IDs?
Yes, I would love to see this... It will happen 100%. I hope it will be on LTO and that everyone can cast their vote with an Ownable through our Layer 1.
Q: What happened with the cooperation with the Dutch government?
Pilots sometimes stay in that phase.
Q: You have a connection with Rico Verhoeven. Would it be interesting to sponsor him during Glory kickboxing events to increase brand awareness even further?
I am good friends with him.
Q: What are the key features of LTO Network's RWA ecosystem that make it robust and capable of handling the entire lifecycle of assets?
Identity / wallet / KYC / custodian service / public notary and a platform to trade / exchange.

It was a sunny day in Sydney, Australia, typical stuff you see in tourism ads, birds flying, a gentle breeze swaying the native Australian gum trees. The sun was starting to give hints that it’s about to go down. And my phone rings.
It wasn’t a local call, it was a WhatsApp call, and I could see that it was from Rick Schmitz, our CEO at LTO Network.
I was excited to speak to him, we were both digesting an interesting conversation that we had the day before, in the late hours of my night, which for him in the UK was late afternoon.
5 minutes into the call, there was immediately a sense that we were on the right path. But an overwhelming realization of the challenging path ahead.
Speaking and working with Rick is different from other jobs and bosses that I've had. Most of my jobs when I was in my 20s and early 30s felt like I was constantly trying to prove myself and convince my bosses that the things that were so clear and obvious to me were the right decisions for the business. Time and time again, they wouldn't listen, and I saw billion-dollar idea after billion-dollar idea slip by through the comfort inaction of comfort zones. You see, businesses often start with really excited enthusiasm and the "startup" energy.
But eventually, if the business is profitable enough, management get comfortable, and they lose their motivation and incentive to grow and push.
Rick never has that, he's always enthusiastic about growth and doesn't want to stay still and wait for things... and that's what attracts me to the LTO Network project. I share that same sense of urgency and excitement for the future.
"With this approach, we can tokenize everything and anything! It's like everything we have made to date has led us here to this path." I told Rick, and he agreed.
If anything, that phone call sealed the deal. This is the path forward for LTO Network. We will develop a platform that truly ties the real world and blockchain together.
Soon after, the Road to Gold announcement showed our ambitions to the world.
The road since then has been no walk in the park. Fast-forward a few months, and quite a number of challenges had us revisiting our approach and strategy (which has now been cemented in).
We question ourselves, often in fact… “is there a better way to do this? Will this work? What do we need to deliver this as efficiently as possible?”
In the near future, we will have delivered our RWA Litepaper and, not long after, the Universal Wallet for iOS and Android.
Once that happens, my dream from 2 years ago will come true: LTO Network will no longer be an island.

Revolutionizing Asset Security: LTO Network’s Solution for Real World Assets
How can LTO Network secure Real World Assets?
In the rapidly evolving landscape of asset management and security, blockchain technology has emerged as a groundbreaking solution. Among the leaders in this technological revolution is LTO Network, which leverages blockchain anchoring and our OWNABLES platform to offer secure and tamper-proof records for Real World Assets (RWAs). This method not only enhances transparency but also builds trust in sectors where the verification of ownership and transaction history is crucial, such as real estate, manufacturing, and logistics. What we offer is not only the onboarding and tokenization of RWAs but also a supply chain tracking technology embedded into the RWAs.
Blockchain Anchoring and the Integration of OWNABLES Blockchain anchoring involves recording data from external sources onto our blockchain, creating a timestamped and immutable record. This ensures that each asset’s data is verifiable and unalterable.
Additionally, we are pioneering the use of OWNABLES, a new kind of digital asset that represents RWAs. Each OWNABLE is a unique digital token with a decentralized identifier (DID) that links to detailed metadata about the asset. This metadata includes vital information such as ownership history, physical characteristics, and legal status, all securely anchored to our blockchain. By combining blockchain anchoring with OWNABLES, we create a dual layer of security. This not only solidifies the integrity of the asset's data but also enhances users' ability to interact with and manage their assets seamlessly in a digital environment.
The Importance of Immutable Proof of Ownership and Transaction History
In asset-intensive sectors, the ability to demonstrate clear and indisputable ownership is essential. With blockchain anchoring and OWNABLES, LTO Network provides immutable proof of ownership and a comprehensive transaction history for each asset. This is critical for ensuring legal compliance, maintaining transparency, and building trust in markets such as real estate, where proof of ownership is fundamental to any transaction.
Enhancing Operations in Manufacturing and Logistics
The integration of OWNABLES with blockchain anchoring can significantly optimize operations across various sectors:
Manufacturing: Manufacturers can utilize OWNABLES to track each component in their products throughout its lifecycle, from production to sale. This detailed tracking aids in managing product quality and safety and in conducting effective warranty and recall operations. An example is our partnership with Scantrust, where we enhance capabilities for ensuring and demonstrating product authenticity and traceability, thereby boosting consumer trust and satisfaction.
Logistics: OWNABLES also transform logistics by enabling the precise tracking of shipments. Each shipment, logged as an OWNABLE on our blockchain, provides stakeholders with detailed information about its origin, transport history, and delivery condition. This unprecedented level of detail significantly enhances the efficiency and reliability of shipping operations.
Practical Applications
Real Estate: We enable the creation of OWNABLES for properties, ensuring that every transaction—whether leasing, selling, or transferring—is recorded with immutable accuracy. This not only streamlines property management but also provides robust protection against fraudulent activities.
High Value Items and luxury goods: OWNABLES can serve as a digital passport for each luxury product. By creating an OWNABLE for every luxury item that comes out of manufacturing, LTO Network can store immutable records of the item's provenance, including its creation date, unique serial number, and detailed specifications. Potential buyers can verify the authenticity of an item before purchase by checking its blockchain record. This significantly reduces the risk of counterfeiting and fraud, a common issue in the luxury goods market.
Commodities: Gold often serves as collateral or an investment asset. Using OWNABLES, each gold bar's ownership can be transferred digitally and instantaneously on the blockchain, enhancing market liquidity. This system reduces the need for physical movement of gold, lowering transaction costs and time. Additionally, it provides investors with a reliable method to verify their holdings and audit their asset history at any moment.
Conclusion
LTO Network is at the forefront of utilizing blockchain technology to secure and manage Real World Assets through innovative solutions such as blockchain anchoring and OWNABLES. By creating a tamper-proof, immutable record for each asset, LTO Network enhances transparency, builds trust, and streamlines operations across various sectors, including real estate, manufacturing, and logistics. The integration of OWNABLES not only secures detailed asset information but also facilitates efficient asset management and verification, making it invaluable for asset-intensive industries. This approach not only mitigates risks such as fraud and counterfeiting but also improves operational efficiency, positioning LTO Network as a pivotal player in the future of asset management and security.
