Who is behind ONCHAINID?

A team of developers and entrepreneurs started the ONCHAINID project in 2017. It was initially named InvestorID and was launched officially in 2019 for security tokens (more info here)


Based on Ethereum standards (Solidity):


ONCHAINID is built on top of several standards, mainly ERC725 (now ERC734), and ERC735. They were published by Fabian Vogelsteller in October 2017.


Tokeny.com


In 2018, Tokeny.com, the leading tokenization platform for compliant digital assets, started to work on the compliance validator for security tokens. The onchain control of identities was developed and became an important part of the T-REX protocol (now published as the ERC3643). Today, Tokeny is an established company and ONCHAINID is already used by all Tokeny's customers (asset managers, funds servicers, investment banks, etc.) and thousands of their investors.

Tokeny allows financial actors operating in private markets to compliantly issue, transfer and manage securities using distributed ledger technology, enabling them to improve asset liquidity. The Luxembourg-based company is the leader in securities tokenization and in 2020 was named one of the top 50 companies in the blockchain space by CB Insights. They are backed by Euronext N.V., the pan-european stock exchange group.

Since 2018, Tokeny has been developing ONCHAINID (protocol and softwares) as the needed compliance component of the T-REX protocol for security tokens. Most of the developments were financed thanks to a fundraising of 5 millions euros entirely subscribed by Euronext in July 2019. Tokeny is also a member of the ERC725 Alliance.
