How to get access to tokenized shares through Superstate Opening Bell.
Onboarding
Tokenized shares are available to all investors in supported jurisdictions and do not require accredited investor status.
New users can register a Superstate account at superstate.com/register.
Existing investors can simply log into their existing account to view available equities.
For a more detailed walkthrough of onboarding please see theOnboarding page.
Equity Allowlist
In order to hold tokenized shares in your third party wallet, you must first add that address to the allowlist.
Before adding a wallet address to your allowlist, confirm which networks are supported for a given equity. Do this by visiting each equity page from superstate.com/opening-bell
Go to Settings → Allowlist → Add
Select the network, enter your wallet address, and give it a nickname
Once an address is added to the allowlist, it can hold a token for that equity.
Transferring existing shares
Holders of supported shares can transfer shares from their traditional brokerage to Superstate.
Go to Document → Equity Documents
Download the transfer form for the company shares you wish to transfer
Follow the instructions in the form to initiate a DRS transfer from your brokerage
Once shares are transferred from your brokerage to the underlying transfer agent, you can submit the transfer authorization form to the emails on the form
Once complete, shares will appear in your Superstate account in book-entry form. Depending on your brokerage this can take between 2-3 business days from start to finish.
Tokenizing existing shares
If you hold book-entry shares at Superstate, you can convert them into tokens.
Go to Portfolio and click on Tokenize next to your book-entry balance
Select an amount and a previously added allowlist address
Click Tokenize
Your book-entry shares will be converted to tokens and delivered to your wallet.
Trading tokenized shares
Unlike Superstate Funds, shares cannot be directly bought or sold on Superstate. Instead investors can visit a supported DEXs to buy or sell.
Go to Portfolio and click Trade
In the Trade modal, you can view a list of links to supported DEXs to trade that asset
Once you are in the DEX, make sure that you are connected to the same wallet that you added to the allowlist.
Redeeming tokens to book-entry
Tokens can be converted back into book-entry shares. Some investors may choose to do this in order to then transfer them back into their traditional brokerage.
Go to Portfolio and click Redeem
In the Redeem modal, you can see instructions for how to burn your tokens by sending them to a redemption address
Send the tokens from your third party wallet to the address to burn them
After the transaction has confirmed on-chain, you'll see an updated book-entry balance in the portfolio
To transfer the shares back to your traditional brokerage, you can find the corresponding instructions and transfer authorization form for that equity in Documents.
