DigiShares Architecture
- At the basic level the platform is split into three parts
○Administration Side – backend which houses the logic of the platform
○API Side – exposes the functionality of the platform
○Investor Facing UI – provided for clients who do not have the capabilities to develop their own interface
Solution Design
DigiShares provides a flexible, customizable, integratable, chain-agnostic, asset-agnostic white label platform for issuance and management of tokenized securities.
The DigiShares platform is divided into several layers:
1.User applications / interfaces
2.Dashboards (investor, administration)
3.API
4.Database (MySQL)
5.Infrastructure (Grafana, Termius, Docker, Rancher)
6.Blockchain
In terms of functionality, the platform is divided into three sections:
1)Issuance: defining of SPV, minting of tokens, KYC, e-signing, fiat and crypto payment workflows, investor dashboard, etc.
2)Compliance: share cap table, shareholder meetings, votes, forceful moving of tokens, etc.
3)Trading: bulletin board trading with atomic swap smart contract settlement and integration to exchanges
The DigiShares platform does not include:
∙Exchange – we include bulletin board functions but not a full exchange (see REX: RealEstate.Exchange)
∙Custody – we integrate with custody partners such as Tangany and Fortress Trust
∙Payment services – we use PSPs
∙KYC verification – we use third parties for this
∙Wallet infrastructure – we use third parties for this
API
The investor and administrator dashboards are separate user interfaces that connect with the API server. This layer has been designed using the following technologies:
-Node JS, GraphQL on the server side
-React (client side)
-HTML
-Javascript
We can customize the following user interface elements of the investor dashboard:
1.Customized KYC screens / steps
2.Custom Modules / Functionalities for investor dashboards
3.SSO (Single Sign On) or integration with client’s website (Cognito)
4.Integration of investor dashboard functionalities in client’s website
The API server exposes all the investor dashboard functionalities through secure APIs. This means that our clients can integrate the investor functionalities directly in their websites.
The client can develop their own modules on top of the API and the API can easily be extended on request
Flexibility & Customization
∙Asset agnostic – any asset or security can be defined within the system and have tokens minted. Special properties and rights concerned with the asset can be defined within the system. The ERC1404 protocol is extensible to support special properties and rights, as required. We have clients tokenizing equity, debt, carbon credits, funds, etc.
∙Chain agnostic – we support Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, and Polymesh. Support for new EVM-compatible chains can quickly be added.
∙React API – the investor dashboard can be fully customized through the React API. The React API enables you to import and export data to the application. The React API can be extended as required.
∙Payments integration API – we have integrated support for several fiat payment providers, such as Stripe, Payout.one, Gcash, Fortress Trust and Dwolla. You can integrate your own payment providers through the API.
∙Custodian agnostic – we provide several choices, currently Tangany and Fortress Trust. More can be added.
∙Wallet agnostic – through WalletConnect we support Metamask, Coinbase Wallet, Fireblocks Wallet and 20+ others.
∙KYC provider agnostic – we support SumSub and Blockpass but others can be added.
∙Language – the platform supports localization and can support any language.
∙E-signing – we support DocuSign and Dropbox Sign. More can be added.
∙Exchange – we have integrated with tZero and have partnerships in place with INX, Oasis Pro Markets, Archax, ADDX. The integration enables us to mint tokens that are then transferred to the exchange. Whitelisting responsibility is delegated to the exchange and the share cap table within DigiShares is kept up to date with trading data from the exchange
