Design objective DO-4: Optimized information sharing

The prototype should reduce information asymmetries, thus creating transparency across permitted stakeholders and reducing risk, which ultimately leads to higher efficiency of the prototype. Depending on the authorization, the stored data should be publicly accessible, but the prototype needs to ensure investor privacy for data protection reasons and banking confidentiality.

Source paper

This design objective is proposed by Designing the future of bond markets: Reducing transaction costs through tokenization (David Cisar, Benjamin Schellinger, Jens-Christian Stoetzer, Vincent Gramlich, Tobias Guggenberger, Nils Urbach, Florian Lennart Weiss, 2025).

DP3 - Automated on-chain payout mechanisms for investors

Integrate on-chain settlement using claim capabilities in disbursement, empowering investors to control the timing and method of interest payments and removing reliance on issuer/platform trustworthiness.

DP4 - Restrict forced-transfer functions to regulators

Restrict particularly critical functions such as forced transfers to regulators only, to prevent abuse of power while complying with regulatory requirements.

1 Meta Requirement

design-knowledge/bond-markets-tokenization-tac-mr7

MR-7 - Reduce room for opportunistic behavior

Information asymmetries can be found in many aspects of the bond token market; potential issuers often lack financial and credit history, counterparty and settlement risks exist, and processes are not transparent, hindering traceability and auditability. The prototype shall reduce information asymmetries as much as possible.

Designing the future of bond markets: Reducing transaction costs through tokenization

Using a transaction-cost-theory lens, the paper identifies seven meta-requirements and derives five design objectives for an Ethereum-based bond prototype, from which it formulates five design principles for blockchain-based bond markets: apply modular design, exploit multi-token standards, automate on-chain payouts, restrict forced-transfer functions to regulators, and implement smart-contract-based crypto securities registers.
