The following is a collection of smart contracts for solidity that will help accelerate blockchain development and deployment through the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWA). For updates, see NEWS.md.

npm install @pingleware/contracts

In your truffle project, import the appropriate smart contract in your new contract

imports "@pingleware/contracts/contracts/finance/debt/ExemptDebtOffering.sol";

contract MyExemptBond is ExemptDebtOffering {
    constructor() public {
        name = "My Exempt Bond";
        symbol = "MYB";
    }
}

When using remix.ethereum.org, you can import directly from github.com

imports "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pingleware/pingleware-contracts/main/contracts/finance/debt/ExemptDebtOffering.sol";

contract MyExemptBond is ExemptDebtOfferingBond {
    constructor() public {
        name = "My Exempt Bond";
        symbol = "MYB";
    }
}

Truffle create option,

Usage:        truffle create <artifact_type> <ArtifactName> 
  Description:  Helper to create new contracts, migrations and tests
  Options: 
                <artifact_type>
                    Create a new artifact where artifact_type is one of the following: contract, migration,
                    test or all. The new artifact is created along with one (or all) of the following
                    files: `contracts/ArtifactName.sol`, `migrations/####_artifact_name.js` or
                    `tests/artifact_name.js`. (required)
                <ArtifactName>

  Options: 
                --all
                    Compile all contracts instead of only the contracts changed since last compile.
                --list <filter>
                    List all recent stable releases from solc-bin.  If filter is specified then it will display only that
                    type of release or docker tags. The filter parameter must be one of the following: prereleases,
                    releases, latestRelease or docker.
                --compiler <compiler-name>
                    Specify a single compiler to use (e.g. `--compiler=solc`). Specify `none` to skip compilation.
                --config <file>
                    Specify configuration file to be used. The default is truffle-config.js
                --quiet
                    Suppress excess logging output.

An application is being developed to help developers and business owenrs fast track smart contract implementation using the pingleware-contracts framework for real blockchain scenarios.

The Ethereum Smart Contract Creator will also introduce using a NFT as software license, https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0x2953399124f0cbb46d2cbacd8a89cf0599974963/36333753202514414869774196218446368102124864803313914227828195910238651647648/

Watch this repository for the release announcement of the Ethereum Smart Contract Creator. A beta version is located at https://snapcraft.io/ethereum-contract-creator. The application is in beta ONLY because this framework is currently in beta. When this framework is moved to stable, then the Ethereum Smart Contract Creator will be moved to stable. Only Linux version is provided during beta. A Mac, Windows, Android and iOS version will be released after the application has been marked stable.

There will be a comprehensive soft copy (PDF) manual included at no charge since the application requires a paid license. A hard copy will be available for sale on AMAZON.COM

Before developing the Equity token smart contracts for exempt offerings, I research existing use cases and to my surprise, there were no existing use case. There were plenty of discussions without the implementation. The smart contract is open source, available for inspection by anyone. Also the smart contract can stay in compliance with the rules of an exempt offering by incorporating those restrictions whether timed or not, into the contract code. The most beneficial feature is the blockchain exempt equity token can offer liquidity of restricted securities when conditions have been satisfied to permit such transfers? The blockchain exempt equity token can also provide a future mechanism for exempt equity token conversion to public shares after an IPO/DPO has become effective. The blockchain exempt offering can be the first choice for unicorn startups, because the smart contract can be coded to restrict verified accredited investors ONLY from buying, selling and transferring the exempt equity tokens. Publishing an exempt equity token contract to the public blockchain does not violate the General Solicitation as long as no reference is made to solicitation of investors? A Defi DAPP is needed in conjunction with the exempt equity token contract to maintain the exemption of the offering through use restriction by accredited and qualified investors only! The Defi DAPP can be a mobile app which validates the investor one time on in a hosted environment and then adds their wallet to the authroized investor queue on the blockchain, further interaction is perform execlusively with the blockchain without any need to revisit the hosted environment unless changes and intervention are required?

The remix desktop was rebuilt as a webapp because I found the straight-browser version to become slow and non-responsive. The webapp version can be downloaded from https://github.com/pingleware/remix-desktop. You should try installing the official desktop version from the Remix Team at https://github.com/ethereum/remix-desktop. If the application will no launch, then download the webapp version.

Use the following command to interface with remix,

remixd -s ./ --remix-ide https://remix.ethereum.org

I have search github.com for other smart contract implementations in various industries, and copied to this repository ensuring they compile cleanly without errors and warnings. There are prebuilt smart contracts

Auditing

Initial audits are conducted using ChatGPT

Skip to step #5, if deploying on a DEX like polymath.network,

1. Create the contracts for each exempt offering in accordance with SEC rules; complete the Credit Report contract in compliance with the FCRA;
   complete the Social Network contract that support community driven choice.
2. Test the contracts on remix.ethereum.org to fix implementation issues? To import a contract from github.com into remix, naivgate to the desired contract and press the view raw button, no copy and paste the URL of the raw file view.
3. Implement a DAPP using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (jQuery and vanilla - no other JS frameworks) that connect to each contract deployed on a local truffle-ganache configuration.
4. Deploy on an ethereum testnet for further testing and public preview.

5. Create a private placement memorandum with a qualified attorney review,[https://theppmattorney.com/](https://theppmattorney.com/)
6. Register with the SEC as an EDGAR filer, obtain a CIK number, [https://www.sec.gov/edgar/filer-information/how-do-i](https://www.sec.gov/edgar/filer-information/how-do-i)
7. File the appropriate exempt offering with the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) via EDGAR at [https://www.portal.edgarfiling.sec.gov/Welcome/EDGAROnlineFormsLogin.htm](https://www.portal.edgarfiling.sec.gov/Welcome/EDGAROnlineFormsLogin.htm)
8. Register as a Transfer Agent with the SEC using[https://www.sec.gov/about/forms/formta-1.pdf](https://www.sec.gov/about/forms/formta-1.pdf)
9. Apply for a CUSIP at [https://www.cusip.com/apply/index.html](https://www.cusip.com/apply/index.html)
10. Prepare most recent balance sheet, profit and loss and retained earnings statements, equivalent financial information for the two prior fiscal years
        Balance sheet - [https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/balancesheet.asp](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/balancesheet.asp)

14. Tag this project as stable.

• Initial DEX Offering at https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/initial-dex-offering
• CoinMarketCap listing criteria at https://support.coinmarketcap.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043659351-Listings-Criteria#section_b3
• Security Token Offerings (STO) at https://itsblockchain.com/security-token-offerings-stos/
• STO Market https://stomarket.com/market

While a private placement has restricted liquidity, a public offering token using a S-1 filing does not have restricted liquidity, hence a CUSIP and ISIN numbers are both needed. The ideal method for unrestricted liquidity is to issue your public offering (S-1) on an established DEX, but I am discovering this to be more tedious and sometimes more costly than listing on NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, Pinksheets or any other brick and mortar exchange? The other option is create an alternative trading system (ATS) with an orderbook and order matching and register your ATS with the SEC. If your ATS is solely for your own company's securities, than FINRA, CFTC and NFA registration may not be needed? (check with your attorney)

Crowdfunding is an exempt offering and highly regulated meaning, to perform a successful equity crowdfund campaign, you must use a registered SEC funding portal. A funding portal is registered with the SEC and regulated by FINRA. The list of current and expired crowdfunding portals/platforms can be found at https://www.finra.org/about/firms-we-regulate/funding-portals-we-regulate.

One such funding portal, https://cryptolaunch.us/ offering crowd funding on the blockchain through an Security Token Offering (STO). They also offer a Mini-STO. See the difference between the two at https://cryptolaunch.us/help/article/44,

"It depends on your situation. If a max total raise of $5 million USD is enough for your company to reach a meaningful milestone, or if you do not have up to $100,000 to spend upfront or if you have to move fast with you fundraising campaign, then Mini-STO is better. Otherwise and STO is better solution for your situation. Basically, the difference between the Mini-STO and STO boils down to the difference between Reg CF and Reg A+. Simple like that. ", - cryptolaunch.us

CRYPTOLAUNCH.US is the easiest crowwdfunding platform for equity offerings.

See https://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/tmcompliance/fpregistrationguide.htm

The following service, https://www.thetokenlauncher.com/buildtoken, a user can build a token, download the source code and launch through the platform (cost 0.1 ETH to launch)

The available tokens include,

- Asset Backed Currency
- Equity Token
- Fan Token
- Fund
- Game Token
- Utility Token
- Other Security Token

with an option to make any offering into an ICO crowdsale.

See https://medium.com/ico-launch-malta/what-is-an-asset-backed-token-a-complete-guide-to-security-token-assets-f7a0f111d443

An Asset-backed currency would be considered as an Asset-back security (ABS) as defined by the SEC. See finance/debt/ABS.md

SEC Asset-backed securities disclosure rules at https://www.sec.gov/rules/final/2014/33-9638.pdf

ABS public registration uses form ABS-15G and ABS-EE ABS private registration uses form D

A Security Token represents an asset or an entitlement to an earning stream or dividends. In terms of their economic function, the tokens are comparable to equities, bonds or derivatives, and are expected to make a profit.

Fan tokens are a form of cryptocurrency that gives holders access to a variety of fan-related membership perks like voting on club decisions, rewards, merchandise designs and unique experiences.

See more at https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-are-fan-tokens

Fan Tokens are typically an NFT. NFT is like a trading card or collectible, any gains made on the sale of the NFT is taxable. See https://www.romanolaw.com/2021/12/13/nfts-collectibles-or-securities/

A fund token would be a donation for a tax exempt non-profit organization, and a security for all others.

An old incentive for the blockchain. User purchases a game token to be used in a game. As long as the game token is used for game play and redemption inside the game with no perceived financial gains, the game token would not be a security. See https://www.romanolaw.com/2021/12/13/nfts-collectibles-or-securities/

A Utility Token provides access to the goods and services that a project launched or will launch in the future, and can be used as a type of discount or premium access to the services. A lot of tokens tend to be used specifically as a funding mechanism for companies.

A Utility token would not be a security as long as trading/swapping with third parties is not provided. Utility token would be like a discount coupon book where you prepaid to get a future discount. See https://www.romanolaw.com/2021/12/13/nfts-collectibles-or-securities/

While the other contract frameworks provide templates to help you build contracts, they fall short from real world model (aka Real World Assets [RWA]) implementation. pingleware-contracts provide a template for real world (RWA) use of smart contracts across many industries, saving you development time and expense?

The following network faucet(s) give the most and permit one request per twenty four hours,

[https://faucet.egorfine.com/](https://faucet.egorfine.com/)

See https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/interface/private-network for more information.

1. Create a unique chainID and symbol, see https://chainid.network to check for uniqueness. You chainID and networkID will be the same.
2. (optional) If you want credibility for your private network, then consider taking your cryptocurrency public through an S-1, where the asset class is cryptocurrency.
    Then get a symbol assigned from FINRA ([https://www.securitieslawyer101.com/2015/market-maker](https://www.securitieslawyer101.com/2015/market-maker)). Since you have a private network (private meaning separate from mainnet)
    you will need to register the network as an ATS (alternative trading system), as well as the issuer of the cryptocurrency, register as a transfer agent. You will
    also need to get a license as a Money Transmitter the jurisdictions that you conduct business. When you perform an S-1 the quantity is the maximum number of tokens that
    will be issued. The fee for filing an S-1 is $92.70 per $1,000,000 ([https://www.sec.gov/ofm/Article/feeamt.html](https://www.sec.gov/ofm/Article/feeamt.html)), or

total offering = token initial price * number of tokens (if you have a par value, then the minimum price is the par value)

total_offering = $5 * 200,000 = $1,000,000
        filing_fee = (total_offering / 1000000) * 92.70

You can have multiple offerings of S-1, the first S-1 makes your company a public company.

When you apply for a trading symbol from FINRA, requires a market maker ([https://www.finra.org/about/firms-we-regulate/broker-dealer-firms-we-regulate](https://www.finra.org/about/firms-we-regulate/broker-dealer-firms-we-regulate)), because they will handle the KYC and AML for your clients, buying your token at a discount or par value.

Command line option,

> geth --networkid`<chainID>`

3. Create a logo for your private network
4. Copyright the logo.
5. Publish your logo to a publicly accessible IPFS network
6. Create a new file in ./_data/icons directory using the file convetion of `<symbol>`.json
7. Check in changes to your github.com account
8. Create a pull request.
9. Wait for your changes to be merged.

When a piece of software is useful, there should never be an EOL doctrine. The intention for this application is to achieve immoratlity ;). At some point of time in the future, this project may appear to be dead and abandon. The opposite will be true! When this project reaches that stage, this project has matured to a level where maintenance is minimal and hopefully automated (mostly updating to latest version of Node).
