Question 1

What is STOC?

Accepted Answer

STOC is the native utility token of STO Chain. STO Chain is an EVM-compatible blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK and CometBFT; the official explorer lists STOC as being used for network fees, RWA issuance collateral, staking rewards, and other purposes. STOC is a network utility asset, not stock in a company or automatic ownership of a particular RWA. Whether an on-chain RWA grants holders specific economic rights must be set out in that asset's own issuance documents and rules; it cannot be inferred from holding STOC.

Question 2

How is STOC used to pay network fees?

Accepted Answer

STOC can be used to pay network transaction fees on STO Chain. When a user submits a transfer or another operation requiring on-chain execution, the network charges according to that operation's gas rules; the code repository lists a minimum mainnet gas price of 0.001 ustoc, but a transaction's final fee also depends on the gas actually consumed and the transaction parameters at that time. Therefore, the minimum gas price is not a fixed per-transaction charge and does not mean every operation costs the same. Fees enable transactions to receive network processing; an estimate shown by a wallet before submission should be distinguished from the resources consumed by final on-chain execution.

Question 3

What is the relationship between STOC and RWA issuance?

Accepted Answer

The official explorer states that RWA issuers can submit STOC as issuance collateral. In other words, STOC is collateral required by the issuance mechanism in this process, rather than the collateralized RWA itself, and submitting STOC does not automatically establish legal or economic rights in any RWA. The specific collateral amount, eligible asset scope, review process, and asset-delivery arrangements for issuance depend on network rules and the applicable issuance process. “STOC can be used as issuance collateral” should be verified separately from the holder rights of a particular RWA token.

Question 4

Can STOC be used for staking?

Accepted Answer

STOC can be staked, and the official explorer lists staking rewards as one of its uses; the code repository also lists the chain's native Cosmos staking capability. Staking puts tokens to use in participating in network security, and rewards depend on protocol conditions and participation rather than being a fixed return automatically generated by holding STOC. Specific validator and delegation eligibility, lockup or exit conditions, reward calculations, and risks are subject to the protocol rules in effect at the time. An annualized yield or guaranteed return cannot be inferred merely from the fact that staking is supported.

Question 5

Does holding STOC mean holding stock?

Accepted Answer

No. STOC is STO Chain's network utility token, serving protocol functions such as fees, issuance collateral, and staking; it is not itself stock, equity, or an inherent claim on the cash flows of any company. The network's support for RWA issuance does not change this. Whether a particular asset issued on-chain represents equity, debt, income rights, or other rights can only be determined from that asset's separate terms.

Question 6

How do ustoc and astoc relate to STOC?

Accepted Answer

ustoc and astoc are STO Chain's base denomination units in two execution environments: ustoc is used on the Cosmos side and has 6 decimal places; astoc is used on the EVM side and has 18 decimal places. The code repository states that they can be converted automatically. The dual-unit design allows the same native asset to accommodate the common precision representations of Cosmos tooling and EVM contracts and wallet interactions, respectively. When making a transfer or contract operation, confirm which unit the interface displays to avoid treating values with different decimal places as the same amount.

Question 7

Does STO Chain support EVM smart contracts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. STO Chain is fully EVM-compatible, and developers can deploy Solidity smart contracts and interact using common EVM tools such as MetaMask, Web3.js, and ethers.js. EVM compatibility addresses compatibility of the contract and tooling environment; it does not mean every Ethereum application can be deployed or run without modification.

Question 8

Does STO Chain support cross-chain interoperability?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The code repository lists IBC transfers as a native Cosmos capability and states that native ustoc can be used for IBC transfers. IBC is a mechanism for interchain communication and asset transfers; an available cross-chain transfer still depends on support from the counterparty chain, channel, and relevant protocol rules. Therefore, “supports IBC” does not mean that all custom tokens or all destination chains can cross chains unconditionally. For non-native assets, first confirm the actual limits of the asset module and destination path.

Question 9

Where can I view STOC on-chain information?

Accepted Answer

The STO Chain block explorer can be used to query public information such as blocks, transactions, addresses, and on-chain assets, and can therefore be used to verify STOC address activity, transaction status, and network data. The explorer displays on-chain records; by itself, it cannot prove address control, off-chain agreements, or the legal nature of an asset.

Question 10

Does STO Chain support creating other tokens?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The code repository lists a custom fungible-token system, through which developers can create tokens with configurable fees using the x/stoc module. This capability is a token-module feature provided by the chain and differs from STOC's role as the native fee and network utility asset. Creating a custom token does not mean that token automatically has value, liquidity, or RWA rights; its supply, metadata, fees, and issuance conditions should be verified separately under the applicable token rules.

Question 11

Which network activities use STOC?

Accepted Answer

Network activities that use STOC include submitting transactions that require gas, submitting RWA issuance collateral according to issuance rules, and participating in network security and reward mechanisms according to staking rules. Each use has different conditions for token demand: fees depend on operation execution, collateral depends on whether the relevant issuance is initiated, and staking depends on whether participants choose to lock assets. These uses describe pathways of use within the protocol and do not constitute predictions of price or returns. Market price can also be affected by factors such as tradable supply, trading conditions, and participant expectations.

Question 12

Where can I learn official information about STO Chain?

Accepted Answer

Public on-chain data and explanations of STOC uses are available through the official STO Chain block explorer, while the mainnet code repository can be used to verify EVM, IBC, dual denomination units, nodes, and development materials. Before making a transfer, staking, cross-chain transfer, or asset issuance, follow the on-chain parameters and corresponding processes applicable at that time.
