Tokenization has become increasingly popular as a means of raising capital and for the purposes of digitizing paper-based processes and assets. However until recently, tokenization tech and smart contracts programming was time consuming, costly, and required in-depth technical knowledge.
One tool that has gained significant traction in the space and solves many of the hurdles related to tokenization is Bitbond's Token Tool – a Web3 app which allows users to easily create tokens without any coding required. Bitbond is a leading provider of tokenization software for banks and financial institutions.
With the launch of WalletConnect on Qredo, you can now create and manage tokens in a secure way by leveraging our dMPC self-custody wallet that provides secure transaction deployment for organizations.
Prominent tokenization use cases
Use cases for tokenization abound, here is a quick breakdown on some of the most popular uses seen in the space so far.
Digital assets such as securities and stablecoins
Tokenizing financial securities (i.e. security tokens) or fiat currencies (i.e. stablecoins) provides greater liquidity and accessibility alongside reducing risk. A digital representation of real-world assets is created on the blockchain through tokens. These tokens are easily bought, sold, and traded on blockchain platforms.
Utility tokens
Utility tokens are digital tokens that are assigned a certain type of utility. This can be for example to access certain products or services. They are often used in decentralized applications (dApps) to grant access to particular features or functionality.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs)
Non-fungible tokens represent ownership of unique digital items, they have only one owner at a time, unless fractionalized. Issued on a blockchain, they possess an immutable record of ownership just like other tokens. They are ideal for verifying ownership through unique, one-of-a kind digital items.
Furthermore, NFTs can be used in a virtually endless ways, some of these include:
Cryptoart (digital art on the blockchain)
In the digital art space, NFTs are used to authenticate and monetize artwork. Artists can prove ownership and authenticity, and sell their creations as unique, one-of-a-kind items. This has opened up new opportunities for artists to earn income from their digital creations.
There is also a strong tradition in the cryptoart space of rewarding artists continually during secondary market trading thanks to on-chain royalties distributed to their wallet at every secondary sale.
Digital collectibles
Creators can use NFTs to authenticate and monetize their digital items. These are typically used for in-game items, trading cards, and other potential collectibles, often within Web3 games.
Entry tickets to Web3, physical and phygital events
NFTs can also be used as a digital ticketing solution for events and experiences, whether live, digital or hybrid (phygital). Using NFTs for tickets can provide a secure and convenient way for event organizers to sell and manage tickets. This can also provide added value for ticket holders such as access to exclusive VIP experiences.
Loyalty programs
Using NFTs for loyalty programs can provide a secure and convenient way for companies to manage and reward customer loyalty, and can also provide added value for customers.
Certifications
The uniqueness of NFTs can also apply in creating certificates. This can be used as certification for completing a specific training, or even as a diploma for university graduates.
Digital twins
Lastly, NFTs can be used to create digital twins of physical assets on the blockchain. This enables issuers to have a more efficient means of exchanging, tracking, or selling their digital assets.
