Getting Started with Tokery
Tokery is designed to be user-friendly, even for those without technical expertise or deep crypto knowledge. This section provides a guide for everyday users, whether you are an asset owner looking to tokenize your asset or an investor interested in buying tokenized assets. We cover how to get started, how Tokery’s Tokenizer Bot and Vault work, and what benefits and costs to expect.
The MVP version of the Vault focuses on core functionality: viewing assets, transferring tokens, and interfacing with the marketplace. As we iterate:
We will refine the UI/UX to make it even more intuitive (including mobile responsiveness, as many users may want to check their asset portfolio on phone).
Add more analytics (like a portfolio overview: total portfolio value, your overall ROI, etc., especially for investors who hold multiple assets).
Introduce notifications (e.g., get an email or notification when you receive a distribution, or when an asset you tokenized receives a buy offer).
Enhance the listing process: for example, guiding asset owners through setting a price or maybe even running an auction for their tokens if they want to sell a portion.
Even in its early form, the Vault is a crucial part of Tokery because it bridges the gap between the blockchain and the user in a familiar way. Instead of manually interacting with token contracts or navigating block explorers, users have a one-stop application to manage everything with ease and confidence. Over time, the Vault will grow into a full-fledged command center for both asset tokenizers and investors – analogous to how online banking apps became the command center for all your financial needs. Our goal is for Tokery Vault to be the place you go to see “your assets at a glance” – whether those assets are your own tokenized properties or fractions of others’ – and to feel in control with just a few clicks.
How to get Started:
1. Sign Up and Verification: To begin using Tokery, visit our website As a new user, you will go through a simple onboarding process:
Provide your email (for account creation on the platform) or you can directly sign in with a Solana-compatible wallet if you have one (for an even more web3-native experience).
Complete KYC Verification. Tokery will prompt you to verify your identity (you’ll need a passport or ID and possibly a selfie video). This is powered by our integrated KYC provider (like Civic), and typically takes only a few minutes to complete. This step is required once; after approval, you’re set to tokenize assets or invest. All your data is secure and used solely for compliance checks.
2. Access the Tokery Bot: The primary way to tokenize an asset as a non-technical user is via the Tokery Tokenizer Bot – essentially your personal tokenization assistant. The bot is available on Telegram (and soon via web chat). Once you start the bot:
It introduces itself and can handle natural language questions. You can literally chat with it. For example, you might type "I want to tokenize my house in New York worth $500k." The bot will intelligently guide you from there.
Educational Guidance: One of the bot’s unique features is that it explains concepts as you proceed. If you’re not sure what something means (say, it asks "Is this a fractional ownership tokenization?"), you can ask the bot for clarification, and it will explain in simple terms. It’s like having an expert consultant available 24/7.
The Tokery Bot is powered by AI (GPT-4 under the hood), which means it’s conversational and adaptable. It’s been described as “ChatGPT for RWA” by our team– in other words, an AI that specializes in asset tokenization.
3. Tokenize an Asset via the Bot: The process flow typically looks like this (the bot will walk you through step by step):
Asset Details: The bot will ask what type of asset you are tokenizing and some details. This could include:
Asset name and description (e.g., “Beach House in LA”, “A 10% revenue share of my tech startup”, “1kg of gold bullion”).
Asset category (real estate, business equity, collectible, etc.).
Approximate value of the asset (for fee calculation and to help with legal structuring).
If applicable, upload supporting documents (the bot will provide a secure link to upload files like property title deed, appraisal report, etc.). These will be used to verify and for creating the asset’s info packet.
Legal & Compliance Questions: Based on the asset and your jurisdiction, the bot may ask a few compliance-related questions:
Your location (if not already determined) and where the asset is located.
Whether you want to offer it to the public or just privately (this can determine which regulations apply).
It will then suggest a legal structure. For example: “We will tokenize this property via a Delaware LLC and a Reg D offering to accredited investors in the U.S.” – you don’t necessarily need to fully understand this; the bot is informing you of what it’s doing. You just need to confirm.
If any additional info is needed for legal docs (e.g., a company name if forming an LLC for the asset, or names of current shareholders if tokenizing a company), it will collect that.
Token Design: Next, the bot helps configure the token:
It might ask, “How many tokens do you want to create?” or “What should be the token symbol/name?” If unsure, it will suggest a sensible default (often people choose a number equal to the asset’s value for easy reference, e.g., 500,000 tokens for a $500k house, each token $1 of value).
If you’re doing fractionalization vs. single-token, it clarifies. For fractional, you decide total supply and optionally the price per token if you plan to sell them (the bot can compute one from total value).
For revenue-sharing or other structures, it might ask details like “What percentage of revenue will token holders get?” and “How often will payouts occur?”
Set any transfer restrictions or lock-up: e.g., you may say tokens cannot be sold for 1 year (the bot will configure a vesting period).
Review Summary: The bot then presents you a summary of the plan:
“Asset: Beach House, Value $500k, Tokens: 500,000 (representing fractional ownership), Legal: Delaware LLC via Reg D, Token symbol: BHOUSE, You retaining 60% of tokens, 40% to be sold, 1 year lock-up for team tokens, etc.”
You have a chance to review and confirm. You can go back or adjust if needed.
Fee Calculation & Payment: The bot will show the tokenization fee that will be charged. For example, “Fee = 0.5% of $500,000 = $2,500 if paid in SOL. Or 0.3% = $1,500 if paid in $TOFI. How would you like to pay?” You can select your choice. If you choose $TOFI but don’t have any, the bot will guide you on acquiring it (it might integrate a mini-swap to convert some SOL/USDC to $TOFI on the fly for your convenience).
Once you confirm, you’ll approve a transaction in your wallet for the fee payment. This is one of the only on-chain transactions you as a user need to do manually (the rest the bot/back-end handles for you).
Token Minting: After payment, Tokery’s backend swings into action:
It generates the legal documents (you’ll see the bot say something like “Generating legal structure... done!”).
It mints the SPL token on Solana representing your asset. This happens within seconds. The bot will then give you a link or transaction ID showing the token creation on Solana.
It registers the metadata and uploads docs to IPFS. The bot might provide an IPFS link or a summary, e.g., “Your asset token metadata is now stored and linked on-chain.”
Finally: Delivery of Tokens. The newly minted tokens (e.g., 500,000 BHOUSE tokens) are deposited to your Solana wallet. If you provided additional investor addresses (say you already had some investors lined up), those will receive their share as well at this stage (alternatively, you can distribute later via the Vault).
Completion: Congratulations, your asset is now tokenized! The bot might celebrate with a message and then suggest next steps (like “You can now manage your tokens on Tokery Vault or list them on the marketplace for sale.”).
Throughout this flow, even though many complex things are happening in the background, the experience is conversational and straightforward. Users have reported that no technical knowledge is required – the bot handles it all. Tokenizing real estate traditionally took weeks of legal and setup; with Tokery’s bot it feels as simple as an online chat, reducing a 2–5 week process to about 5 minutes in some cases (for prepared users).
If at any point you need human help, Tokery also has customer support and community channels, but the goal is that the AI bot suffices for the vast majority of cases.
For Asset Investors (Buyers): If you’re an everyday investor looking to buy into tokenized assets, getting started is slightly simpler:
Do KYC and set up your account (same as above).
Instead of tokenizing, you’ll browse the Tokery Marketplace (accessible via the Tokery Vault web app).
You can see listings of tokenized assets, complete with descriptions, legal disclosures, and performance info. Use filters to find what interests you (e.g., “real estate in USA” or “assets offering >5% yield”).
Click on an asset to see details and available tokens for sale. If you decide to invest, you can execute a purchase directly by connecting your wallet and paying in SOL or USDC. You’ll receive the asset tokens in return. The platform ensures you’re eligible (if it’s a restricted offering, the system will only show you offerings you can legally buy).
After purchase, you’ll see your holdings in your Tokery Vault dashboard and can track their value or any income distributions they provide.
In all, as a general user, Tokery abstracts away blockchain complexities. You don’t need to know about smart contracts or IPFS or regulatory classifications – the system handles those. You just focus on your asset or investment, and Tokery does the heavy lifting, with the bot as your friendly guide.
