Read the first 6 NFTs, Tokenization, and Digital Assets flashcards as text
What is a security token offering (STO)?
Answer: A regulated digital token offering that represents ownership in an underlying asset and is subject to securities law
STOs issue blockchain-based tokens that are classified as securities, subjecting them to SEC or equivalent regulatory oversight and offering investors legal ownership rights.
What is the ERC-1155 token standard?
Answer: A multi-token standard that allows a single contract to manage both fungible and non-fungible tokens
ERC-1155 is a flexible Ethereum standard enabling a single smart contract to represent multiple token types (fungible, non-fungible, or semi-fungible), reducing deployment costs.
In the context of NFTs, what is 'minting'?
Answer: The act of creating and publishing an NFT on the blockchain by recording it in a smart contract
Minting an NFT means deploying a transaction that creates a unique token record on-chain, assigning it an ID and linking it to its metadata for the first time.
What is fractional NFT ownership?
Answer: Dividing a single NFT into multiple fungible tokens so many investors can own a share
Fractional NFT ownership protocols lock an NFT in a smart contract and issue ERC-20 tokens representing percentage shares, democratizing access to high-value NFTs.
What is the primary difference between a utility token and a security token?
Answer: Utility tokens provide access to a product or service, while security tokens represent an investment contract with an expectation of profit
The Howey Test is used in the US to determine if a token is a security — if holders expect profits primarily from others' efforts, it is classified as a security token.
What is a 'floor price' in an NFT collection?
Answer: The lowest listed price for any NFT in a collection on a secondary marketplace
Floor price is the cheapest available entry point into an NFT collection on the secondary market, commonly used as a proxy for the collection's overall demand and value.
