About this reference

The important relationships often exist away from the blockchain: the title record, a holding vehicle, the contract with an investor, a custodian or a servicing agreement. A token transfer is useful only if its effect on those relationships is understood.

The atlas treats the structure as a set of connected layers. The entries provide maps and questions that make a proposed arrangement easier to explain to counsel, technical teams and counterparties. Examples are hypothetical design exercises unless an original public case is expressly identified.
