Protocol

Tokens stay. Claims rest on them.

A holder mounts Stock Tokens once. Protocols do not take custody. They place prongs: capped, conditional claims with an on-chain trigger, an expiry and a seniority rank. Scroll to follow one vault.

A prong's life, step by step

  1. 01

    The stone sits still

    100 shares of a Stock Token, mounted once in the holder's vault. Nothing is claimed.

Lender · 40 shares · seniority 1

Options desk · 20 shares · seniority 2

held 100 · pledged 60 · free 40

Trigger proven · 40 seized

held 60 · pledged 20 · free 40

Feed frozen · all prongs frozen

Lifecycle

Four calls. One vault.

  1. 01 · mount()

    Mount

    The holder deposits Stock Tokens into their own Bezel vault. One vault per wallet. The vault is non-custodial.

  2. 02 · placeProng()

    Place a prong

    A protocol with staked $BZL places a prong: claim N, trigger, expiry, seniority. The contract rejects it if the cap would be exceeded or the combination is incompatible.

  3. 03 · proveTrigger()

    Prove the trigger

    The protocol submits on-chain proof of its trigger during market hours. The prong executes and takes exactly its claim. Everything else stays.

  4. 04 · release()

    Release or expire

    The protocol releases the prong, or it lapses at expiry. The claimed tokens return to the free balance.

Prong kinds

Collateral stacks. A sale happens once.

A share can be lent and covered by a call, never sold twice. Collateral prongs stack freely under the cap. Only one sale prong can be open per asset in a vault.

Guarantees

What the contract enforces.

Capped
The sum of all prong claims can never exceed the tokens held in the vault.
Compatible
Incompatible prong combinations are rejected by the contract. A share can be lent and covered by a call, never sold twice.
Yours
The holder keeps dividends, corporate actions and free transfer of the unencumbered remainder.
Proven
A prong executes only with on-chain proof of its trigger, during market hours.
Frozen when blind
If the issuer pauses the token or the Chainlink feed is frozen, all prongs on that asset freeze and nothing can be seized.
Ordered
Prongs are settled by seniority.
Paid by protocols
The prong fee is 0.05% of pledged notional per 30 days, paid by the protocol placing the prong. The holder pays no prong fee.
