Questions and Answers

What is the Tokenized Digital Offshore (TDO)?

The TDO is a secure, blockchain-based structure that enables individuals and institutions to tokenize real-world assets within a private, legally compliant framework governed by U.S.-based fiduciary law. It offers a contemporary alternative to traditional offshore companies, providing enhanced privacy, flexibility, and efficiency without the limitations of outdated corporate structures.

What proprietary technology does Advent Prime use for the TDO?

Advent Prime uses its own proprietary infrastructure to power the TDO. This includes:

  • Issuance of ERC-20 Tokens: Advent Prime mints uniquely structured tokens for each client, ensuring full fungibility and technical reliability on the Ethereum blockchain.
  • Private, Secure Wallet Management: Asset Tokens are held in digital wallets administered on behalf of the client under strict fiduciary oversight, offering institutional-grade custody and privacy.
  • On-Chain Contract Registration: All key agreements are recorded on-chain. This guarantees immutability, transparency, and legal proof of the client’s rights under each arrangement.

This technology is not merely a convenience; it is a foundational part of Advent Prime’s approach: combining traditional fiduciary, and contract law with cutting-edge blockchain architecture for secure, compliant, and private asset management

How does the TDO work?

The TDO operates using three core components, governed by three distinct legal agreements.

  • PrimeID Token: A unique identity token representing the client’s relationship with Advent Prime.
  • Digital Financial Arrangement (DFA): A legal fiduciary agreement, administrated by Saint Joseph Trust Company, a U.S.-based licensed and regulated fiduciary.
  • Asset Token: An ERC-20 token issued in exchange for assets placed under the DFA.

These components are governed by a Tokenization Agreement and Terms of Service (TOS), Trust, Custody, or Escrow Agreement (DFA), and an Exchange Agreement, all documented on the blockchain.

Is the TDO compliant with securities laws?

Yes. PrimeID and Asset Tokens are structured to avoid classification as securities, employing legal safeguards to prevent triggering U.S. securities laws. Each issuance undergoes review by U.S. securities counsel, with built-in transfer restrictions, contractual limitations, and design features to ensure legal defensibility under the Howey Test and relevant federal regulations.

Is the TDO structure private?

Yes. The TDO is tailored for clients requiring confidentiality and legal certainty. Administered by a U.S.-based licensed and regulated fiduciary under applicable fiduciary and contract law, client information remains protected by fiduciary confidentiality and is not subject to public disclosure.

Does the TDO offer tax planning benefits?

Yes. In jurisdictions such as Brazil, recent tax rulings—including Receita Federal Ruling No. 2.180/2024—recognize Directed Financial Arrangements as eligible for favorable tax treatment. The TDO structure provides lawful tax deferral and clear reporting guidelines, ensuring enforceability under U.S. law. Clients are advised to seek country-specific legal and tax advice.

Is the TDO exclusive to Brazilian clients?

No. While the structure is particularly advantageous for Brazilian tax residents, it is available globally for anyone seeking asset protection, privacy, and operational flexibility within a compliant, U.S.-based framework.

Are Asset Tokens transferable or tradable?

No. Unless explicitly classified as securities, Asset Tokens are not intended for trading or unrestricted transfer. They function within a closed contractual framework, available only to parties who have signed the relevant agreements and completed AML/KYC screenings. Any transfer, redemption, or action involving these tokens is strictly governed by DFA terms and subject to internal compliance protocols. While the ERC-20 Asset Token itself can be transferred between wallets, the associated rights under contractual agreements remain tied to specific parties. This approach safeguards assets held within the DFA and reinforces the compliance of the Asset Tokens under securities law.

How is the TDO different from traditional offshore companies or foundations?

Unlike International Business Companies (IBCs), offshore foundations, or nominee-held accounts, the TDO operates under enforceable fiduciary law, ensuring legal clarity, privacy, and operational efficiency. The integration of smart contracts and blockchain technology enhances the legal structure by automating processes, securing data, and adding value, all while maintaining regulatory and legal compliance under U.S. law.

Why should I tokenize assets with a TDO?

The TDO offers the most secure and efficient method for internationalizing assets, providing privacy, asset protection, and exceptional tax efficiency. Unlike heavily regulated traditional offshore corporate structures, the TDO seamlessly integrates fiduciary protections, contract law, and blockchain technology, representing the future of secure asset management.
