On this last day of January, we look back at this month’s OtoCo development sprint, lead with a thought piece on tokenized corporate stock, and talk about the use of Nominees as a ‘VPN for companies”. We also share some recent developments at Otonomos.
Hope the year started well for all our readers!

UNBOUNDED THINKING
There is Something About Tokenizing Corporate Stock…
There’s something about corporate stock tokenization. For some reason, it hasn't really happened yet.
This post asks what it is about tokenized corporate stock. We probe the reasons why corporate stock is still offchain, examine the benefits of putting corporate stock onchain, size the opportunity and propose a possible implementation.

Nominees: The VPN for Companies
Nominees are widely used and widely misunderstood.
In this post, we talk about their use and clear up some commonly held misconceptions about Nominee Directors and Nominee Shareholders.
OTOCO UPDATE
Improved Navigation, New Governance Console and Refactored Multisig Wallets for OtoCo Users
We dove straight into the new year with a thorough scrub of OtoCo’s front-end, revisiting pages we didn’t think were giving users delight and taking a fresh look at navigation within OtoCo’s dash.
The bulk of the work was spent on an advanced governance console for Multi-Member LLCs, including a new voting module.
We also refactored the use of multi-sigs wallets by internalizing SAFE’s smart contracts, gearing up for an exciting new product launch next month.
In this post, we’ll walk you through each new screen and talk about its functionality.
