Equities
A tokenized equity is a claim on a listed share. What follows is the whole argument: why a pool is the wrong venue for a trade you want to price yourself, why a desk needs no pool at all, what ArkBerry does and does not do, and exactly where this capability stops today.
ArkBerry is the desk, not the issuer.
ArkBerry does not issue these tokens, hold the underlying shares, or check who you are. Someone else issued the token and owes you whatever it is worth. ArkBerry moves it from one wallet to another and takes no custody on the way. Everything on this page exists because that distinction costs people money when they miss it.
Issuer
Owes the holder
Seller
ArkBerry, no custody
Buyer
An agreed price is the case for a desk, not a reason to wait.
A desk does not need a pool. Two parties agree a price, and an escrow swaps both legs of the trade in a single transaction.
The equity leg
The tokenized share moves from seller to buyer.
PendingThe payment leg
Payment moves from buyer to seller.
PendingTwo legs, one transaction. Nothing settles until both do.
Scroll back and both let go together too.
Paste an address. Read Arc.
Before you post or take an equity offer, run the same check the desk runs internally. No wallet, nothing signed.
What the tool reads
Is anything deployed here
eth_getCode against the address. Nothing deployed, nothing else to check.
Does it answer the ERC-20 interface
Name, symbol, decimals, and total supply, read directly from the contract.
Does a transfer clear
A zero-value transfer, simulated between two unrelated addresses. It reverts on a token that gates transfers behind an allowlist.
What it will never say
There is no verified state and no tick against the address. Anyone can deploy a contract whose symbol() returns "AAPL". The tool reports, it does not reassure.
What only you can check
Verify the contract yourself
ArkBerry ships no address list for tokenized equities, because none has been verified. Check the address against the issuer's own published list and on the block explorer before you sign anything.
Confirm the token is freely transferable
If the token gates transfers behind an allowlist, settlement reverts unless both wallets and the escrow are on the register. The trade cannot clear, and you find out after paying gas.
Issuer restrictions bind you, not the escrow
Issuers restrict who they will sell to and redeem for. xStocks, for one, states its tokens are not available to US persons. The escrow enforces none of this, and cannot.
You are trading the token, not the share
Whatever its legal form, a tokenized share reaches the real share only through its issuer. Redemption is between you and the issuer. ArkBerry is not a party to it.
The other side: configuration, not new code.
Studio’s equity preset is a set of defaults over the same issuance contract every other preset uses. Nothing here is a bespoke mechanism invented for equities.
Shares authorized
Relabels the contract's own supply cap. ArkBerry's naming, not a mechanism the contract did not already have.
Who can hold it
Allowlist is forced on under the equity preset, and its toggle is disabled while the preset is active, labelled as ArkBerry's rule. Switch back to general purpose and control returns. Blocklist and freeze-and-seize stay yours to set either way.
Lockup and holder cap
A transfer lockup in days and a maximum holder count, both enforced on every transfer, not only at mint.
Transfer agent
A seventh role alongside the six the Studio already ships, for whoever the offering documents name to administer it.
Every product on Arc claims upside. Here is where ours stops.
A pitch that only lists what works is a pitch nobody can check. These three are checked, current, and unresolved on purpose.
No address list.
Every other asset on the desk is picked from a dropdown. Equities gets a blank field, because nobody on this project has verified a single tokenized-equity address on Arc yet. An address you check yourself is worth more than a list you cannot.
No yield claim.
ArkBerry Juicer earns a share of Uniswap V4 swap fees, so a yield claim needs a fee source behind it. Uniswap V4 is live on Arc, but no fee history for tokenized equities has been measured there. Until it is, ArkBerry puts no yield number on this asset class.
No path onto a standard pool.
An allowlisted equity token cannot enter an ordinary Uniswap V4 pool. Uniswap's Permissioned Pools solve exactly this with an issuer-run allowlist hook, live since July 2026, but whether that hook is deployed on Arc is unconfirmed. Until it is, ArkBerry OTC settles this asset class peer to peer, with no pool at all.
