INTRODUCTION

Our recent AMA on February 5th was an exciting deep dive into our 2025 roadmap, featuring insights straight from our development team and our COO, Shawn Naderi. The community came with great questions, and we shared updates on upcoming features, improvements, and what’s next for our project.

Missed the live session? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

QUESTIONS & RESPONSES (Q & R)

Q: Hi guys, nice to meet you! What is the reason you choose to work for/with LTO and what do you like about developing Ownables?

R1: Well, I was trading LTO and realized this project is one of the very few blockchain projects with the kind of utility I imagine blockchain having.

R2: Three things I am fascinated about, and LTO combines it:

1) Real World Assets (RWAs) represented by Ownables with real documents

2) EVM chain smart contracts development for tokenizing the RWAs

3) making tokenized high-value RWA accessible and liquid to anybody

R3: Had the opportunity to buy in the first seed round and am invested ever since. So when Rick asked me to join the team about a year ago it was a full yes!

R4: Because LTO is building very interesting and novel solutions in the RWA space. It’s a mix of challenging and worthwhile, and I like the hardstuff.

Q: Technical question:

If I build a dynamic Ownable in the SDK on mainnet and upload the ZIP file. The Ownable anchors on mainnet. How can I transfer this to the mobile wallet to test it out?

R: Use the same wallet accounts. But it helps to make a transfer to another wallet to make it show up on mobile. So I suggest uploading and anchoring with one and sending to the mobile account. Else the copy is just on your local machine.

Q: At what point in the future do you expect LTO technology to be used on such a large scale that we as token holders will see real price action?

R: I think the EQTY platform is the killer app we have been waiting for.

Q: Are there plans for more AMAs, webinars, or workshops to increase community engagement?

R: Yes, we have been working around the clock to get the tech right, and I feel that as of this week we have all the tech that I have been waiting for us to have before really pushing for co-marketing partnerships and adoption partnerships. The $LARRY partnership is one such partnership where we will be unveiling a new way to use ownables for promotional purposes by teams and projects outside LTO.

Q: What are the anticipated benefits of launching a Native Ownables Marketplace on the LTO Network? How will this marketplace interact with the broader crypto economy?

R: LTO will be more visible, especially RWAs will create a bigger use case for people, because LTO RWAs are backed by real value. These values can be traded easily on-chain.

Q: With a better design for communicating about RWA, does the LTO Network also provide new tools or resources on the website to help developers or businesses in integrating or using RWA on the LTO Network?

R:There is a new website coming with a clearer focus on our RWA structure.

Q: How does the new website handle and present information about security and privacy, especially in the context of RWA which often requires high levels of data protection?

R: Our EQTY litepaper will handle this topic.

Q: Hypothetical tech question:

Is it possible to make a consumable that can be consumed multiple times? And how to make one if possible.

R: Yeah, your consumables can be consumed partially several times until completely consumed.

R2: It seems there’s a lot of excitement about consumables!!!

Hopefully we can get the demo SDK to integrate the most recent changes so you get to see it all.

Q: What are the potential legal and regulatory implications of swapping RWAs for $LTO tokens, and how does LTO Network ensure compliance across various jurisdictions where the app might be used?

R: To start with, we will tokenize based on Netherlands law (which is pretty good and Firm24 is located there), and the RWAs will comply with the local laws there.

Q: Beyond RWAs, could Ownables be applied to more abstract assets, such as intellectual property, digital identities, or even AI-generated work?

R1: Yes, absolutely. I think an Ownable could even represent the identity of people who could prove their identity and then, e.g. using the NFT part of the Ownable to vote on the EVM chain.

R2: In a sense, these are RWAs too.

Anything that can be an asset that is used in the real world is an RWA. We have been exploring all kinds of abstract use cases, such as writers royalties etc.

Q: Can you guys tell us more about Firm24 and how big of a role they will play to kickstart the LTO RWA revolution?

R: They are the Netherlands largest notary law firm; they will be making our RWAs legally compliant and mean something.

Q: LTO Network introduces the concept of 'Ownables' for digital asset ownership. Can you explain how the ownership of Ownables works on the network, and what security features are in place to ensure users have true, verifiable control over their assets?

R: Each Ownable has an event Chain in which all the transfers are anchored as unique events with unique hashes. The event chain clearly states the current owner of the Ownable.

Q: What are the unique features of LTO Ownables technology for tokenizing RWA , and how does it facilitate the integration of these assets into DeFi and Web3 ecosystems?

R: Our legal compliance layer, as well as the financial model that Rick and I have created will ensure that there is interest for this technology, so the idea is tokenization happens on the LTO Network, this means the due diligence, legal compliance and notary functions will happen here, but the assets are fractionalized into other chains to provide access to LTO's technology to the greater crypto community.

Q: Can you guys tell us more about the first Ownables Marketplace and on how LTO is planning to get everyone on board that is actually interested in true ownership of digital/RWA assets?

R: Via campaigns and RWA real use cases that are attractive to people (assets can be anything of value, such as luxury watches, gold, companies producing value for society, etc.

R2: LTO’s unique private-public layer poses novel opportunities for how a marketplace should work. We have so far created different pieces for making that possible like the relay, the ownables bridge etc. Parts of the goals in this quarter would be to bring those bits together to form the first RWA marketplace.

Q: How does LTO Network ensure the privacy of sensitive data related to the legal status and ownership of assets?

R: The sensitive data exists on your private chain so it’s totally private. Only anchor proofs exist on the public chain to tell us when and who created that event.

Q: Can you give us examples for people to make use of revenue-generating assets with the EQTY/RWA/Digital assets setup of LTO Network? Is this unique in the space? Who can make use of it, and why should they?

R: Very basic example:

1) Luxury Watch costs 100k

2) The ownable represents (firm24 legal document) the ownership

3) Bridging the Ownable into an NFT (EVM chain)

4) Tokenizing the NFT into RWA tokens

5) Trading of RWA tokens in a uniswap (V3) pool

6) At some point the watch might be sold for 120k (could also be voted by RWA token holders e.g.)

7) All RWA Tokens will be worth 120k and can be redeemed into (e.g.) USDC again (using an EVM smart contract)

Q: How will the Universal Wallet’s integration with Ownables enhance user experience and accessibility? Will it bring more gamification?

R: We are currently working on expanding the whole ownable universe.

In fact, pretty soon the REDEEMABLE ownable type will be launched.

That will be an Ownable with a redeem functionality added, meaning you can keep it or redeem it for a specific amount of LTO. This will be a set LTO and can be different for each ownable or ownable campaign.

Q: How will LTO ensure true asset ownership in a decentralized marketplace without compromising on speed or privacy?

R: It’s the curse of being the first to do awesome work. That’s why we have spent the last two months researching, and improving our proof of concept. So far, it’s clearer how we will get this done.

Q: LTO stated that DeFi Liquidity for LTO RWAs will come from Ethereum and Arbitrum Networks. How does this work exactly, what's the status of development, how is this liquidity 'maintained', and how does it all come together within the ecosystem of LTO Network (and the universal wallet???)?

We are trying to get this running this year.

1) Building Ownable/NFT pair (done, the Firm24 legal docs)

2) Bridging NFT from LTO to EVM and vice versa (LTO to NFT done, NFT into LTO done, but not released yet)

3) Tokenizing NFT into RWA Tokens (almost done, internal testing is ongoing)

4) Uniswap RWA Liquidity Pool (currently ongoing)
