Fund Tokenization as a Service (FTaaS) is the core infrastructure layer powering rkShares and our broader platform. Built natively on Solana, FTaaS enables the creation and management of regulated investment vehicles on-chain, combining institutional safeguards with blockchain’s transparency and efficiency. It allows us and external asset managers, to design and operate funds directly on-chain while complying with U.S. regulatory frameworks.
FTaaS has been engineered to provide flexible, fully configurable fund design, covering the essential needs of professional asset managers:
Active Management: Adjust and rebalance holdings in real time, with all transactions recorded on-chain for full auditability.
Fee Structures: Fund managers can configure management fees and performance fees, automatically calculated and settled on quaterly based and when withdrawals occur.
Transfer Restrictions: Implement transfer hooks to comply with exemptions such as Reg D / 506(c), ensuring tokens can only move between eligible investors following US regulation.
Investor Limits: Define minimum deposits per investor and set maximum AUM thresholds to comply with SEC requirements for funds that are not fully registered.
Investor Onboarding: Integrate KYC/KYB flows to onboard accredited and sophisticated investors, with documentation stored securely off-chain and permissions enforced on-chain.
Oracle Integration: NAV and asset pricing updated via oracles refreshing every 60 seconds, providing near real-time fund metrics.
Self custody: Starke Finance and Fund managers do not have access to investor funds under any condition. Only the investors can redem and deposit funds, however Fund managers can manage their holdings by swapping Fund holdings by other assets with fair market value.
Together, these features create a framework where fund managers can operate with the same flexibility and control they have in traditional structures, but with blockchain-native benefits: immutability, efficiency, and global accessibility.
