The team has deep experience with Web3-specific fundraising dynamics and documentation requirements.

Token Sale Structuring

The service provides comprehensive guidance for compliant token issuance and sale processes, ensuring token launches comply with applicable securities laws and regulations. This includes securities law analysis (Howey test application, investment contract analysis), token sale structure design (SAFT, public sale, fair launch, private rounds), compliance with jurisdictional regulations, preparation of offering documents and disclosures, KYC/AML framework implementation, investor accreditation verification, regulatory filings where required, and post-sale compliance management.

Token Sale Models Supported

Zokyo helps clients evaluate and implement various token sale models including Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (SAFTs), Regulation D offerings (506(b) and 506(c)), Regulation S offerings for international investors, public token generation events, fair launches and community distributions, and other compliant distribution mechanisms. The team understands the nuances of each model and helps clients select the optimal approach based on their project goals, target investor base, and risk tolerance.

Fundraising Stage Coverage

Zokyo supports projects at all fundraising stages including seed rounds, angel investments, private sales and pre-sales, public token sales, strategic investments and partnerships, follow-on rounds and secondary offerings. The team understands Web3-specific fundraising dynamics including token economics integration, vesting schedules, lockup periods, and governance rights.

Why Choose Zokyo

Fundraising involves complex legal documentation and high-stakes negotiations. Having experienced legal support helps projects secure favorable terms, avoid onerous provisions that could impact future operations, ensure compliance with securities laws, and maintain good relationships with investors for potential follow-on rounds. Non-compliant token sales expose projects to significant legal and regulatory risk including enforcement actions, investor lawsuits, and exchange delisting. Zokyo's multi-jurisdictional expertise ensures token issuances are structured appropriately for the target investor base and comply with applicable laws in the UAE, Europe, Asia, and other key markets, protecting both the project and its investors.
