LTO Network Unveils Vision for a Truly Universal Wallet, Introducing the “EQTY Passport” and WalletConnect Integration
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS – June 18, 2025 – LTO Network, the privacy-aware Layer-1 blockchain for real-world assets and identity solutions, today announced an ambitious new product roadmap for its Universal Wallet. The roadmap details a significant expansion of the wallet’s capabilities, aiming to make it a go-to solution for the entire crypto community. Key among the upcoming features are the launch of the EQTY Passport (formerly known as Proofi) for decentralized identity and the integration of the open-source WalletConnect protocol.
The upcoming enhancements, slated for completion within the next quarter, will transform the LTO Network Universal Wallet into a versatile gateway for Web3, offering users unparalleled convenience, security, and control over their digital assets and identity.
Seamless Web3 Access with WalletConnect Protocol
In a move to make its wallet truly universal, LTO Network will integrate WalletConnect. As the open-source and industry-standard protocol for connecting wallets to decentralized applications (dApps), WalletConnect enables users to securely connect their Universal Wallet to a vast array of platforms across different blockchains. By simply scanning a QR code or using a deep link, users will be able to sign into various platforms, engage with DeFi protocols, and explore the wider Web3 ecosystem without compromising the security of their private keys.
"Our goal for the Universal Wallet has always been to create a secure and user-friendly hub for digital assets," said Peter Otobong, Technical Lead for EQTY Passport. "By integrating the WalletConnect protocol, we are breaking down walled gardens and offering our users the freedom to explore the full potential of the decentralized web, all from the trusted environment of their LTO Universal Wallet."
Introducing the EQTY Passport: A New Era for Digital Identity
A cornerstone of this roadmap is the official launch of the EQTY Passport, the evolution of the concept previously introduced as "Proofi." The EQTY Passport will be a powerful identity application directly accessible from the Universal Wallet, empowering users to own and control their digital identity.
With the EQTY Passport, users can complete a one-time KYC process within the secure confines of the wallet. Upon verification, the Passport generates a unique, LTO Network-secured hash. This hash serves as a reusable, verifiable credential of their "proof of humanity" and age, which can be used to access websites and projects that require such verification. This innovative approach eliminates the need for users to repeatedly share sensitive personal data with multiple third parties, mitigating the risk of data breaches and identity theft.
"We are thrilled to officially brand our identity solution as the EQTY Passport," Otobong added. "It represents a new standard in how we establish trust online. Users can prove their eligibility without revealing their personal data. The EQTY Passport is a game-changer for online privacy and will be instrumental in fostering a safer, more trustworthy, and equitable Web3 environment for everyone."
Expanding Horizons and Driving Adoption
By making the Universal Wallet more versatile and introducing powerful, user-centric features like the EQTY Passport and WalletConnect, LTO Network aims to significantly increase the wallet's adoption beyond its native community. This strategy is designed to expose a broader audience to the power and elegance of LTO Network's technologies, including its unique approach to on-chain data security and real-world asset tokenization through "Ownables."
The development of these new features is set to be completed within the coming quarter, marking a significant milestone in LTO Network's mission to build a more secure, interoperable, and user-centric decentralized future.

About LTO Network
LTO Network is a privacy-aware Layer-1 blockchain for Real World Assets, Data Security, and Identity Solutions.
Our platform is designed for business process efficiency and security. It combines a public layer for transparency and a private layer for data security, ensuring GDPR and MiCA compliance. This dual-layer approach makes it ideal for enterprises requiring data privacy and regulatory adherence.
LTO Network also offers tokenization of RWAs through their Ownables technology, enabling assets to be brought on-chain and allowing them to interact with the world of DeFi and Web3.
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.
The tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWAs) is undeniably reshaping the future of finance and ownership. For years, we at LTO Network have been at the forefront, building the foundational layers for a more transparent, secure, and efficient digital world. We’ve seen the immense potential, the trillions locked in illiquid assets waiting to be unleashed. But we also saw a critical missing piece in the rush to bring these assets on-chain: trust.
For the LTO Network community, our partners, and keen observers in the RWA space, the anticipation has been building. You've followed our journey, engaged with our vision for Ownables, and understood our commitment to verifiable legal ownership. Today, we are thrilled to announce a milestone that brings this vision into sharp focus.
The Genesis of EQTY: From Infrastructure to a Complete Solution
Our journey to EQTY wasn't an overnight sprint; it was a deliberate marathon. We started by tackling the foundational challenge: how to ensure that tokenized assets represent genuine, legally sound ownership, not just opaque claims. We recognized that most existing RWA platforms were building on a fragile base, often acting as centralized arbiters of trust and prioritizing liquidity over the verifiable truth of ownership. This simply isn’t good enough if we are to unlock the true potential of RWAs.
LTO Network has always believed that real-world assets don’t just need tokenization; they need tokenization that can be verified, audited, and defended, both in a blockchain environment and in a court of law. This belief led to the development of our battle-tested blockchain, the innovative concept of Ownables to secure private, immutable ownership dossiers, and a verifiable trust layer anchored to real-world identities and legal processes.
EQTY emerged as the culmination of these efforts – the missing link designed to connect real-world legal ownership with blockchain liquidity. It’s our answer to the market's need for a platform that doesn’t just connect assets to DeFi, but connects them to reality. We’ve meticulously designed EQTY to provide anchored proofs, verifiable identities, privacy-respecting compliance, and a robust framework for fractionalization and governance.
We are incredibly excited to share that EQTY is currently in its beta phase, undergoing rigorous testing and refinement as we prepare to revolutionize how real-world assets are owned, managed, and traded.

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)

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.

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)
CLOSING WORDS
Huge thanks to everyone who joined our 2025 Roadmap AMA! It was great connecting with the community, answering their questions, and sharing what’s ahead. We're committed to continued progress and look forward to providing further updates.
About LTO Network
LTO Network is a privacy-aware Layer-1 blockchain for Real World Assets, Data Security, and Identity Solutions.
Our platform is designed for business process efficiency and security. It combines a public layer for transparency and a private layer for data security, ensuring GDPR and MiCA compliance. This dual-layer approach makes it ideal for enterprises requiring data privacy and regulatory adherence.
LTO Network also offers tokenization of RWAs through their Ownables technology, enabling assets to be brought on-chain and allowing them to interact with the world of DeFi and Web3.
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.
