A rights matrix translates a token description into a list of enforceable entitlements. Each row should identify the obligor, conditions and document.[1][2]
Understanding the question
List income, voting, information, transfer, redemption and enforcement rights separately. The absence of a right can be as significant as its presence. Explain whether token ownership is necessary or sufficient to exercise the right and how eligibility is maintained.[1][2]
Build the working record
| Consideration | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Entitlement | What can the holder request or receive? |
| Obligor | Who must perform and under what conditions? |
| Evidence | Which contract or legal record establishes the entitlement? |
Put it into practice
A token may provide an income claim without ownership of the asset. The matrix should prevent those concepts from being used interchangeably.
