Decision guide
What matters most before choosing in this category
The platforms that lead here are the ones that publish the legal instrument, not the ones with the longest feature list. Every platform in this pool can mint, whitelist and transfer; what separates them is whether anything published says which record carries the holder’s entitlement when the chain and the book disagree, and that question is worth 30 of the 100 points. Two answer it from opposite directions — one by making the ledger entry the right itself under a cited statute, one by keeping the transfer agent’s register authoritative and publishing the reconciliation — and both outrank a platform whose control surface is the best documented in the pool but whose contract leaves the instrument to whatever a purchase order names.

When the chain and the book disagree, which one carries the entitlement — and does any published page say so?
Who may freeze, force-transfer or burn a holder’s position: you, an agent you appoint, or the vendor’s own staff?
If the vendor stopped trading, what would you still hold — the admin keys, a public standard you could redeploy, an exportable register, or a support ticket?

Art. 973d CO ledger-based securities: the published framework says the right may only be asserted and transferred via the ledger, the instrument levers sit with the Issuer or an appointed Agent, and the token is a CMTAT.
Art. 973d CO ledger-based securities: the published framework says the right may only be asserted and transferred via the ledger, the instrument levers sit with the Issuer or an appointed Agent, and the token is a CMTAT. Strongest on what the token conveys, and which record governs it (9/10): BAND 9-10. docs.obligate.com/legal/enote-legal-framework: “A ledger-based security is formed through an agreement between the parties (Registration Agreement), based on which the respective rights are registered in a securities ledger under art. 973d para. Weakest on what survives if the platform stops operating (7/10): BAND 7-8.

Best forInstrument and record authority — 9/10
Main tradeoffObligate’s disclaimer that it “never has any direct or indirect form of control over eNote instruments” (legal/enote-legal-framework) is narrower than it reads: Obligate admits the wallets, General Terms of Use v3.0 cl. 6 warns that a suspension “may necessitate, among other measures, the suspension or cancellation of existing eDebt Transactions”, and obligate.com/otfy says “Obligate AG, Zurich, Switzerland, serves as the product sponsor” — the party the Issuer must consult before redeeming. Lost-key recovery is a court route at the Holder’s expense under art. 973h CO, and “a cancellation may not be possible in cases of co-mingling multiple eTracker instruments”.

Frequently asked
Questions people ask before choosing tokenisation platforms
What am I actually buying from a tokenisation platform?
Software plus a role. You are buying the issuance and register machinery — minting, an eligibility list, transfer controls — and, separately, whatever the vendor undertakes to do as a counterparty. Those are not the same purchase, and the second is the one that is usually thinner than it looks: several platforms in this pool state plainly that they are a technology provider only, with no obligation to your token holders at all. The token’s legal content comes from the instrument you issue, not from the platform you issue it on.
Why is the legal instrument weighted above the feature list?
Because the features converge and the instrument does not. Whitelisting, freezing, forced transfer and burn are documented by almost everyone here, so they separate the pool weakly. Whether a published document says what a holder legally holds — and which record governs it when the chain and the register disagree — separates it strongly, and it is the question an issuer cannot answer for itself after signing.
What survives if the platform goes out of business?
That depends on what the vendor wrote down, and most wrote nothing. The strongest positions in this pool are a contractual undertaking to hand the contract’s admin key to you or your agent, a token standard published under an open-source licence that you could operate elsewhere, an instrument stored off the vendor’s infrastructure, and — rarest of all — named obligations that bite on the vendor’s own insolvency rather than a disclaimer of liability. One platform here publishes a 3,188-character terms page in which the words terminate, notice, wind-down and insolvency do not appear at all.
