The past decade saw countless experiments with tokenized securities, yet most fell short of a critical element that could reshape the entire model.

Governance rights delegation remains the missing piece.

Without holders being able to exercise actual voting power and governance participation attached to their token positions, these digital assets become nothing more than passive financial instruments. The real potential of tokenization extends far beyond fractionalization—it's about fundamentally reshaping how stakeholders interact with and govern the underlying assets.

Until projects solve for meaningful governance mechanisms embedded into the token structure itself, we're only scratching the surface of what's possible.

Governance rights have always been a false proposition. Most projects don't dare to give true voting rights, fearing they might lose control.

I've been saying it for ten years, but no one has truly understood governance rights.

After all this talk, aren't all the current tokens just empty shells?

That's right. Over the past ten years, it's been a bunch of projects showing off tricks, but the governance issues have never been properly sorted out. No wonder tokens are just like stocks—pretty much useless.
