Workshop on Bond Tokenization and Rate Reset On Chain

Tokenization of financial assets on blockchain/DLT are going to be the backbone of the future financial infrastructure. For this transition to be successful, the financial terms must be machine readable and machine executable and the current state of the financial contract must be available on chain.  Participate in and experience how a variable interest rate bond is created on chain, and how interest rate resets are effectuated on chain. See how financial logic and corporate actions become reality on chain and eliminate the risk of dumb tokens.
