More than 435 initial coin offerings have raised over $5 billion in 2017. The market also exploded with an initial token offering (ITO), but not every one of us knew what it was. That there were utility and security tokens... Utility ones were traded with success too, however, 2018 is already moving on to being the year of security tokens offering (STO) – the next big thing in crypto assets trading. Time to sort out who is who and how to conduct your own STO.\n<h1>**Security Tokens vs. Utility Tokens. How to Understand the Concept of Both?<h1>**\nSo, what's the difference between the two initial token offerings? These are the two major token types – security tokens and utility tokens. However, most of the tokens we are familiar with are the utility ones.\n\nA utility token or coin offers a buyer future access to seller’s product or service. Technically, it’s not an investment – it’s a purchase that will eventually become profitable. A person buys something like a digital key to the box of services some brand sells. But it’s not a company’s share. Also, the utility tokens have an automatic price stabilization system – the price and the market demand stabilize each other in reverse proportion. If the price goes up, the demand goes down, after this price will also drop in order to match the demand.\n\n> “Almost every token that exists today is a utility coin. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple are all utility coins. A utility coin is simply just access to a protocol. They’re not technically considered a security by regulators because they’re products. You don’t actually invest in them. You buy them and you use them to access the protocol. That’s why they’re called utility coins. Security coins are financial products. These are tokenized funds, tokenized real estate, tokenized commodities. These are tokens that literally represent ownership in a real asset.”\n>Trevor Koverko, CEO of the Polymath Network\n\nNow, time to explain what the security tokens are and why they are so special. In comparison to the previous category, security tokens occupy a much smaller market space. Though the leading crypto world experts predict that such state of things is going to change until the end of 2018. [The Wall Street prepares to invest](https://dailyfintech.com/2018/03/17/security-token-elephant-in-the-wall-street-boardroom/) tons of its capital into the security tokens ecosystem and not into the utility field.\n\nSo, before proceeding to the STO subject, let’s establish what the cyber assets are in this case. The security token definition is pretty simple – these tokens actually represent companies’ shares (stocks), they are backed by tradable external assets. Basically, when some organization issues its security tokens offering this means you’re offered to buy a share of this organization. Therefore, such security tokens are controlled by [federal securities regulations](http://thehill.com/opinion/technology/377592-security-tokens-could-be-the-next-big-thing-in-cryptoassets).\n\nTo draw the line, the main difference that distinguishes security tokens from utility coins is that the security token buyers gain the ownership rights to the service. In other words, you own an asset without taking possession of it. Whilst any utility token plays a part of a gift card – a holder has no ownership rights or shares in the company’s assets.\n![security-tokens-offerings-token-types.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYJ29nGApd7f8FvyL6gxf7SvegDucEovuf5r7YHjJTd8m/security-tokens-offerings-token-types.jpg)\n<h1>**How Must an Entrepreneur Distinguish Security Tokens Offering from Utility Tokens Offering (UTO)?<h1>**\nI already mentioned the regulations, and it’s no surprise that cryptocurrency market with billions capitalization became a primary target for the government’s consideration. The implementation of regulations is a clear proof that the cryptocurrency and Blockchain platforms are recognized in the financial world. And they won’t be going anywhere soon. For now, the government regulations for security tokens offering are just at their initial stage and we should expect more in the future.\n\nWhen you buy the security tokens your money transforms into capital that’s why the legal restrictions are needed in the first place. However, despite this rules, the businessmen, actually, are legally protected and have more financial freedom than ever before.\n<h1>**So, What is Actually a STO?<h1>**\nTraditional ICO allows you to buy utility tokens or coins from various companies in a form of crowdfunding. Investors exchange their cryptocurrencies for some specified number of tokens offered on the market. But, there are no shares on the table, as we remember.\n\nUnlike ICO, in the security tokens offering you buy a company’s share/stock, which is controlled by a specific set of rights and obligations (shareholder dividend payouts, board voting rights, etc).\n\nIn order to classify a token as a security or utility one, The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) conducts the Howey test. This test was designed in 1946 and its main goal is to establish if a particular transaction is, indeed, an investment contract. So, to fit into this category, a certain STO must comply with the following requirements:\n\n* **The buyer will invest money or assets**\n* **The buyer will get profit from this investment**\n* **The investment is intended for a ‘common enterprise’**\n* **All benefits will come from the efforts of a third-party or promoter**\n\nIf a token follows all of these conditions it must be classified as a security tokens offering and become a subject to additional disclosure and government regulations. Companies who issue the security tokens offerings must register their token to avoid the charges for violation of securities laws. However, there are still some troubles in paradise – the way SEC applies this test to the cryptocurrencies is a bit vague. But the future promises us changes in this field.\n<h1>**How to Organize a Security Tokens Offering?<h1>**\nDue to KYC/AML regulations, conducting a security tokens offering project is cheaper, easier and more efficient than launching an ICO with utility tokens. The legal risk for both a company and a buyer is also reduced. But there are limitations on who can invest in STO and how the security tokens can be traded. Which results in the great reduction of these tokens liquidity.\n\nThere is no free trade when it comes to the security tokens offering. This obstacle can potentially destroy the effect of a network and compromise the development of a protocol or platform. But it’s not the time to worry. There are special Blockchain platforms (like [Polymath](https://polymath.network/), [BlockEx](https://www.blockex.com/), [T-Zero](https://www.tzero.com/) and others) that provide their client who issues the security token offerings with the full support and guidance through all legal and technological pitfalls before the actual issuance.\n\nIn STO that meets the requirements of securities laws, security tokens have to be able to forbid the trade between third-party persons based on the conditions of the robust smart contracts. Such a high level of safety is possible only with a professional and trustworthy Blockchain-acquainted company that offers a security token service (STS). Talking about Amazon, Microsoft, IBM.\n![security-tokens-offerings-project-flow-.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdLsPG2SP1X8e3dQEq2JcNEv2SRHGKmzLqPDTGXSSdouH/security-tokens-offerings-project-flow-.jpg)\nNext, the participation part. Participating in a STO is quite similar to an ICO trading. After the company issued the security tokens offerings and outlined the selling time period, a client may purchase the specific amount of tokens that can later be traded or sold, etc. And those security tokens would represent some actual things like assets, profits, a percentage of the company’s revenue and more.\n\nAs for those who can participate in a security tokens offerings, you must keep in mind that only the accredited investors are able to invest in private STO and VIP security tokens. Such investors have to meet particular [SEC requirements](https://www.sec.gov/smallbusiness/exemptofferings/rule506c) regarding an annual income, net assets, and type of an institution taking part in the purchase (venture fund, trust, etc.).\n<h1>**The Real Risks Associated With STO<h1>**\nAs you see, the risk of money laundering will be controlled by the government regulators and KYC/AML rules, which make it somewhat negligible. The risks of fraud actions could be effectively beaten with the disclosure agreements.  So, what other risks regarding the should you be aware of?\n\nI think that most experts would agree with me on the thought that the biggest risk would be an overregulation or inappropriate regulation which may lead to the destruction of brave STO experiments and the lack of funding for the most creative ideas. The best is the enemy of the good. That’s why I believe that too many regulations could ruin the security token offering ecosystem.\n\nThe financial sector must quickly get the STO and STS sector under the control, understand its basics and embrace the technology if they don’t want to lose big. Just imagine... Limitless decentralized market with the easiest peer-to-peer payments that processes all assets and transactions in seconds. No need for a bank account, brokers, and intermediaries. STO stocks can become the most traded instrument in the world of Blockchain and crypto assets.\n\nTechnologically, it’s already more or less possible and this is what actually scares the financial industry. No one likes losing the monopoly on money processing and generating. But times are changing, a competitive age has begun for all the innovators around the globe. Someone will become the first to completely transform the financial sector by pursuing it to accept the need for appropriate regulation for the security tokens offerings.\n<h1>**Can STOs Present Our Future?<h1>**\nIn order for the security tokens to win the market as the ICO did, the STO buyers have to feel confident about the level of assets’ liquidity and their future profit. And there is a need for more security tokens exchange platforms that actually list and process these tokens allowing clients to claim their benefits (some will launch during the first half of the year). But it is already safe to say that the process began – in 2018 security tokens will gain their own proper infrastructure. Till 2019 they will surpass the utility tokens.\n\nIn addition to the open-minded regulatory initiative, the emerging cross-platforms that allow issuing the regulation-compliant security tokens offerings alongside with the development of crypto exchanges that provide liquidity prove that innovations in the field of security crypto assets are more than welcomed.\n\nAs soon as the regulators will start to provide their clear and thorough guidelines, tech startups and entrepreneurs will be sure that their business will be protected by the securities laws and regulations. They would be able to trade anything that can be tokenized from real estate, bank and individual loans, equities to company stocks, shareholdings and global debts.  \n\nSo, we can expect that security tokens offerings and smart contracts will greatly transform the internal structure of global companies and corporations by allowing them to operate on a much more decentralized and boundless business model. All projects would be equally shared between security token holders that can make decisions and participate in the development.\n\nThus far, there is a couple of STO trailblazers whose path you can follow. Two of them that impressed me the most are:\n\n* [The Canadian Securities Exchange](http://business.financialpost.com/news/fp-street/cse-aims-to-use-blockchain-to-bring-competition-to-trade-clearing-and-settlement) that aims to be Canada’s first clearing and settlement securities trading platform.  \n* [US Praetorian Group](https://cointelegraph.com/news/praetorian-group-files-to-be-first-ico-to-sell-registered-security-tokens-in-us) that on March 6 filed with the SEC to be first ICO that sells registered real estate security tokens.\n\n<h1>**Summarizing the Talk<h1>**\n![download (2).jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYeZLgCYEaHoN9Y8kXa9D2tUuZ18cQJU7Z8mjwb1m1bqs/download%20(2).jpeg)\n\nThe future scenario for the ICOs is that more likely than not it will give a way for the STO boom. But the disruptive innovations won’t be done by the industry giants – bold and open-minded tech entrepreneurs will dominate in this field. And you can be on of them. It will be the time for young and creative startup owners who will shape the future of the financial sector based on [the Blockchain platform](https://tecsynt.com/).\n\nDespite the mentioned risks, bright and innovative technicians will not stop experimenting and creating brand new tools that will simplify the security tokens offering issuance. Those who will catch this wave and embrace the perspectives will gain the high profit.\n\nIn order to start organizing your own security tokens offering you must meet all SEC standards and register your tokens as the security ones. Choose the trading Blockchain platform that offers the security token service and issue your STO as soon as you have a business plan on how both you and your clients will benefit from your offering. Follow the STO news from around the world to never miss a single tip on launching security tokens.",

Dozens of tutorials and articles that explain what it actually is. But there is one thing that business people may miss from the whole picture – Blockchain in its usual meaning is just one of many types of a distributed ledger technology (DLT). However, this field is far bigger and your future blockchain project have a lot of possible opportunities when it comes to DLT Blockchain protocols. Here is the review of the top 5 you should consider before starting the development process.  \n**<h1>What Is DLT Blockchain?**<h1>\nDLT Blockchain technology is based on the distributed ledger that operates on a principle of using nodes. This circle of independent computers record, process, synchronize and share all digital transactions in their own electronic ledgers. Such approach allows excluding a centralized data storage as it is in a traditional ledger. DLT Blockchain protocol distributes the information into encrypted blocks. Those blocks organize together an append-only chain.\n\n**The general concept of DLT** suggests building the blocks of “Internet of value”. Then, interactions are recorded and “value” is transferred peer-to-peer, liquidating the need for coordination from some central authority. In this case, the “value” can represent any ownership of digital assets – money, cryptocurrencies, security tokens, DLT blockchain stocks, real estate and company shares, patient healthcare data, identity information and other types of personal data. In the long run, the DLT blockchain technology will fundamentally transform the manufacturing, banking, governmental and financial sectors by making it more stabilized, reliable and efficient.\n\n![dlt-blockchain-protocols-one.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbmDZ9b217BSEL4FtzYD8Jm6CJEZaSd1mqWCa8kS4arGK/dlt-blockchain-protocols-one.jpeg)\n**<h1>DLT Security Risks: What Should You Be Aware Of?**<h1>\nYou probably have guessed that there are some concerns about data protection in the DLT ecosystems. Let’s explore this topic a little deeper because every investor would ask two logical questions:\n\n* _What are [the security vulnerabilities](https://tecsynt.com/blog/customer-authentication-tools) when it comes to DLT Blockchain technology?_\n* _How to avoid or reduce them?_\n\nIt’s known that Blockchain, actually, has a large number of security features this doesn’t make it immune to cyber threats. On the contrary, DLT blockchain technology is vulnerable to the attacks that aren’t a threat for centralized financial databases. But the DLT Blockchain ecosystem opens up new horizons and promises to mitigate most of the security risks by transforming the way of how the data is stored and used in the distributed ledger.\n\nThough, for now, let’s just address the biggest vulnerabilities which require the top-priority actions.\n**<h1>1. Untested and Low-Quality Code**<h1>\nFirst and most important is that you should hire only the professional DLT developers – preferably even teams from the development companies who are visible and known on the market. The answer to ‘why?’ question is simple – you don’t need the heavily experimental code from [cheap freelancers](https://tecsynt.com/blog/cheap-app-development-risks) or some ambiguous agencies. For instance, some DLT Blockchain developers deploy improper-tested blockchain code which always leads to hacking attacks. So, it’s better to pay once a higher price than to overpay it twice when you’ll face a need to rewrite the whole code due to its vulnerability.\n\n**What solutions to these problems you’ll get from a trustworthy DLT Blockchain development company:**\n\n* Quality assurance and proper code testing;\n* Multiple times peer-reviewed code ready for actual safe deployment;\n* Scalable DLT Blockchain protocols and smart contracts tested by specialized testing agencies.\n\n**<h1>2. Access Breaches**<h1>\nActually, this issue comes not from the DLT Blockchain technology itself but reflects on the endpoint security of the whole ledger. The endpoint represents a verge where people and blockchains meet. It mostly means a computer, a smartphone or other gadget that a human or a business brand uses to access some blockchain service. Which, in turn, means beginning a cycle of inputting the information into some device, which will then be outputted from this device – here comes the endpoint. During this exact procedure, when you access your DLT blockchain system, the safety of the data stored in the chain is at its most risk.\n\nThe vulnerability lies in the credentials needed for accessing a shared blockchain. These credentials suffer from the security risks at the endpoints due to the human factor – how people use their public and private keys. A key that is required to access a blockchain consists of cryptographic strings of characters, which length is always more than enough to exclude the possibility of guessing them.\n\nHere lies the cornerstone of DLT blockchain technology’s strength and weakness. No one can access the blockchain without having the right public and private keys. But.. if the hackers will steal those right keys, they will have all your data to play with it as they desire – who owns the keys rules the world of data. That is why hackers aren’t trying to guess someone’s keys, they just storm the front and steal them. And the easiest way to obtain such keys is to hack the weakest chain link –  a computer or a smartphone.\n\nIn order to avoid failing to protect the devices we can take **the appropriate and highly effective precautions** regarding the DLT blockchain keys:\n\n* Do not keep the keys in any text document or another file which can be easily read or stolen by someone.\n* If you plan to store the keys on the gadget, then use a good encrypting app to protect them.\n* Install and constantly update the strong antiviruses for various OSs for both computers and mobile phones. And run the regular scans.\n* If you need to share your keys via an email, then use only the email feature in the encrypted blockchain wallet.\n**<h1>3. DLT Blockchain Technology Risks Associated With Vendors**<h1>\nThe main purpose of distributed ledgers is to transfer the information in and out of it, which is possible due to the usage of third-party solutions. As the world will keep continuing the adoption of the DLT blockchain protocols, we can also expect a huge growth of third-party solutions at least within these blockchain areas:\n\n* Smart contracts\n* E-Wallets\n* Payment platforms and processors\n* [FinTech solutions](https://tecsynt.com/blog/digital-security-risks)\n* Integration platforms for DLT protocols\n\nTherefore, as the market would be overcrowded with the new untested products, there is a potential backdoor for the vendor security risks. So, those business owners who plan to use third-party solutions for their DLT blockchain system should test the trustworthiness of the vendor first to see if their product is vulnerable to attacks. It means evaluating the reputation and the security level of the whole vendor’s system and searching for the insufficiencies in the development approach and a code itself.\n**<h1>Top 5 DLT Blockchain Technology Protocols**<h1>\nThere are more than two dozens of various distributed ledger technology protocols but some of them are more commonly accepted than others. As they say, the first and original was the Bitcoin open-sourced protocol, but these days, we have a chance to see the rise of many additional services that created DLT protocols.\n\nTherefore, proceeding with the topic, aside from the most famous Bitcoin and [Ripple](https://ripple.com/build/xrp-ledger-consensus-process/) DLT blockchain protocols, you should consider such services:\n**<h1>#1 [Ethereum](https://www.ethereum.org/)**<h1>\n![top-5-dlt-blockhain-protocols-ethereum.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQ4tiYkdwcLZPcuvrUnDwYvHrVkT7W34rR23gSJEU6fdb/top-5-dlt-blockhain-protocols-ethereum.jpg)\n\nOne of the most famous platforms on the market, a constant rivalry for Bitcoin. It offers Ether cryptocurrency and an e-wallet for ERC-20 standard tokens. Due to the protocol’s scalability, DLT blockchain developers can create revolutionary dapps on both Ethereum platform and the democratic autonomous organizations.\n\nBut the huge advantage of Ethereum is that its technology allows using programmable smart contracts – self-executing computer algorithms which exclude the possibility of third-party interference and censorship. Smart contracts can be programmed to store, register and transfer valuable data, securities and funds based on the predetermined conditions.\n**<h1>#2 [Hyperledger](https://www.hyperledger.org/)**<h1>\n![dlt-blockchain-protocols-hyperledger.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmb6FLCCF9SQxEgrQAwVQrSXML6SXXrtcBuGNp1FQ87woP/dlt-blockchain-protocols-hyperledger.jpg)\n\nIn 2015, the Linux Foundation launched the Hyperledger – an umbrella project that provided the open-source blockchains and related tools. Hyperledger DLT blockchain platforms are designed to handle the Python programming language, the endorsement policies for international business transactions and the confidential data sharing between inner nodes. It unites the stakeholders from across the globe by supporting tech manufacturers, IoT services, supply chain companies and financial sector.\n**<h1>#3 [Openchain](https://www.openchain.org/)**<h1>\n![dlt-blockchain-protocols-openchain(1).jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZdXo23gCQuhDqmbn8TzmkqLGySbFQoC5s8VBzX9tp8w9/dlt-blockchain-protocols-openchain(1).jpg)\n\nThis DLT blockchain protocol for enterprises greatly differs from others by using the so-called partitioned consensus model. With such approach, developers use just a single open chain instance, so each person is authorized to validate and prove the transactions and not being placed in a centralized ledger. Each entity controls its own instances, which can be connected to each other. In Openchain, depending on which assets are being exchanged, separate authorities validate separate transactions. Which makes this DLT blockchain protocol highly scalable and secure.\n**<h1>#4 [Corda DLT Blockchain](https://www.corda.net/)**<h1>\n![dlt-blockchain-protocols-corda.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRHUEcjwUhLCfN4SDc1dz3dLndwsM7bE16UDxyupTpiag/dlt-blockchain-protocols-corda.jpg)\n\nIt was developed by R3 enterprise open source blockchain project as for recording, storing, processing and synchronizing the financial deals between financial organizations. Corda DLT protocol was designed for business from the start and the world’s largest entities. It is based on the principles of highly secure transactions and direct value exchange via smart contracts. With Corda, developers can create interoperable blockchains where transactions are verified only by individual parties who issue the transaction. No centralized controller and unrelated validators are allowed. The one disadvantage may be that the Corda protocol comes without an inbuilt cryptocurrency.\n**<h1>#5 [BigChainDB](https://www.bigchaindb.com/)**<h1>\n![dlt-blockchain-protocols-bigchaindb.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNh9uwWKo45BZLkpL8JKtN1hnko9gPXhn5aFfGGMwrWQX/dlt-blockchain-protocols-bigchaindb.jpeg)\n\nWith this open-source DLT blockchain, the difference is that the BigChainDB works as a distributed database with blockchain features. Such as decentralized administration, immutable data storage, transactions processing and digital assets transferring. BigchainDB comes with transparency, high throughput, low latency, support for permissions in both private and public ledgers, and powerful query functionality. It also operates on the Federation Consensus Model.\n\n**<h1>Afterword<h1>**\nIf you’re still hesitating whether to say yes to DLT blockchain investing, let us assure you that the distributed ledger technology is already a symbol of future. It opens up the doors for great transformations and higher profits in many industries from finances, banking and [loT](https://tecsynt.com/blog/development/the-top-5-iot-security-challenges-in-2018) to [healthcare](https://tecsynt.com/blog/chronic-condition-health-apps-How-manage-chronic-illness-and-gain-profit), manufacturing and real estate.  \n\nBut if you plan to develop your own product based on one of the DLT blockchain protocols keep in mind to review their pros and cons first. Then choose [the reliable blockchain development company](https://tecsynt.com/) and make sure that they eliminated all the security risks we discussed in this article.",
