Before anyone signs anything, we walk you through the systems, map what your program actually needs, and tell you honestly whether Unykorn is the right infrastructure for it — including when the answer is no. Flat-fee engagements, never contingent on a transaction.
A defined path with a real deliverable at every step — you leave with the map whether or not we end up building together.
45 minutes on Zoom. Your program, your counterparties, your regulatory posture, your timeline. We listen more than we talk.
Free · Week 0A live tour of the actual platform — custody orchestration, the compliance gate, issuance, the portal — on your use case, not a canned demo.
Zoom or on-site · Week 1We document what your program requires: custody structure, eligibility rules, settlement environments, integrations, and what you already have that we shouldn't replace.
Written deliverable · Week 2An architecture readout with an honest verdict. If we're the fit, a scoped proposal. If we're not, we say so and point you at what is.
Week 3Scheduled Zoom sessions with screen-shared, live-system walkthroughs — your whole deal team can join. Most discovery and mapping work happens here.
For deeper sessions: whiteboarding the architecture, meeting the team, and working the needs map in a room at 5655 Peachtree Pkwy, Norcross, GA 30092. Standard for platform-licensee and issuer engagements.
Most programs don't fail on technology. They fail on choosing the wrong custody structure, the wrong token standard, or discovering the legal budget in month six. We map all of it first.
Qualified custodian selection, 2-of-3 key structures, segregation models, policy engines, recovery paths — and the difference between a trust charter and a vendor with "secure wallets."
ERC-3643 vs. bespoke contracts, XRPL MPTs, settlement environments — matched to your investor base, transfer restrictions, and reporting needs, not to fashion.
KYC/KYB vendor selection, sanctions screening, Travel Rule flows, transaction monitoring — designed as pre-settlement gates, sized to your actual volume.
Chainlink price feeds and Proof of Reserve, custom EIP-712 attestation frameworks, IoT and inspector attestations — how off-chain truth gets on-chain safely.
We sit with your securities attorneys on Reg D 506(b)/506(c), Reg S, and disclosure mechanics so the technology enforces what the documents promise. Counsel advises; we build to it.
Cap table ops, distribution mechanics, signed audit trails, and the reporting your admin, auditor, and lenders will actually ask for.
Representative market ranges for a serious tokenized offering, all-in. Every line is a real vendor category you will pay — knowing this on day one is the difference between a program and a stalled pilot.
| Component | Who provides it | Typical range | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Securities counsel | Your law firm (engaged directly) | $35k – $150k+ | Reg D offering docs, PPM, subscription agreements, Form D, blue-sky notice filings, bad-actor checks |
| Qualified custody | BitGo Bank & Trust or peer | Setup + annual minimums; bps on assets | OCC-chartered custody, insured cold storage, the custodian key of your 2-of-3 |
| KYC / KYB & sanctions | Verification vendors | $1 – $10 per check + platform fees | Identity verification, entity KYB, OFAC screening, ongoing monitoring |
| Oracles & data feeds | Chainlink + attestation framework | Integration + feed/gas costs | Price feeds, Proof of Reserve, custom EIP-712 attestations for NAV, meters, inspections |
| Smart-contract security audit | Independent audit firm | $15k – $100k+ | Pre-deploy review of token, compliance, and distribution contracts — non-negotiable before mainnet |
| Token & portal infrastructure | Unykorn | Scoped flat build + platform fee | ERC-3643 issuance, identity registry, compliance gate, investor portal, audit rails |
| Recordkeeping & admin | Fund admin / TA (as required) | $15k – $60k / yr | Investor records, distributions, tax docs, transfer-agent services where the offering requires one |
| Insurance & banking | Carriers / partner banks | Program-dependent | E&O/D&O, crime coverage, fiat accounts through licensed partners |
A serious institutional program typically lands between $150k and $500k+ all-in for year one across every category above. Anyone quoting you a fraction of that is leaving out counsel, custody, or the audit — and you'll pay for the omission later. Ranges are representative market figures, not quotes; your needs map produces the real number.
An institutional program takes specialists. We coordinate the build across all of them; regulated professionals engage with you directly, in their own capacity.
Reg D 506(b)/506(c), Reg S, and disclosure specialists. They engage directly with you as your counsel; we make sure the token enforces exactly what their documents say.
BitGo Bank & Trust, N.A. anchors our custody architecture — OCC-chartered, insured, holding the custodian key of every 2-of-3 vault.
Chainlink feeds and Proof of Reserve where programs need market data; our own EIP-712 attestation framework for NAV, meter, and inspection data.
Smart-contract security firms for pre-deploy review — we prepare the codebase, threat model, and invariants so the audit runs faster and costs less.
Administrators and transfer agents where the offering structure requires them — integrated with the on-chain registry so records never drift.
Tax, insurance, and banking introductions from a bench we've worked with — added to your program as the needs map dictates.
Most private tokenized offerings in the U.S. run under Regulation D. The rule you pick changes what your infrastructure must enforce:
No general solicitation. Accredited investors plus up to 35 sophisticated non-accredited. Your gate must enforce a pre-existing-relationship posture and block public marketing flows.
General solicitation allowed, but every investor must be verified accredited — reasonable-steps verification, not a checkbox. The gate enforces verification before a wallet ever exists.
Transfer restrictions (Rule 144 holding periods), eligibility on every secondary transfer, Form D and blue-sky notice filing discipline, and bad-actor screening — encoded in ERC-3643 compliance modules, not left to a PDF.
Your offering documents make promises. Our job is making the infrastructure keep them automatically. Counsel writes the rules; the gate enforces the rules; the audit trail proves it.
Educational summary only — not legal advice. Offering structure decisions belong with your securities counsel.
You should know what advice costs before you ask for it. Every engagement is a flat fee or retainer — we never take a percentage of anything.
45 minutes. Your program, our honest first read. No deck, no pitch.
Live systems walkthrough on your use case plus the written needs map. Credited against any build.
The complete map: custody, gate, token, oracles, vendor lineup, and your real all-in cost — yours to build with anyone.
Implementation scoped from the blueprint; ongoing advisory retainers for live programs. Always flat.
Third-party costs (counsel, custody, audits, verification vendors) are billed by those providers directly and are itemized in your blueprint.
A documented picture of your program's required infrastructure — custody, compliance, issuance, settlement — in your language, not ours.
What you have, what you need, what Unykorn covers, and what it doesn't — stated plainly.
How the pieces connect if we build it: key structure, gate rules, settlement environments, portal, and audit trail.
Sometimes the answer is "you don't need us yet" or "someone else does this better." You'll hear it from us first.
