Terms in stone.
Keys on chain.
Stele inscribes every document and term in a Write-Once-Read-Many vault and anchors the verification keys on-chain inside the token itself. Investors verify the record for themselves. Issuers never lose a document again.
Traditional finance has paper.
Basic crypto has no backing.
Stele has both.
The same private placement, run three ways.
Doubly anchored. By design.
When an issuer uploads a document to Stele, two things happen simultaneously. The document is inscribed in a Write-Once-Read-Many vault — it can be read by anyone with permission, but it can never be altered or deleted. Its encryption keys are anchored on-chain, inside the smart contract of the token itself. To alter a single term after issuance, an attacker would have to break the vault and the blockchain. That is the double-anchor.
What goes in the vault
Legal documents, term sheets, covenants, subscription agreements, KYC attestations. The vault supports two modes: Write-Once-Read-Many for final, binding documents, and Open Access for ongoing reporting. WORM documents cannot be altered or deleted. Open Access can be promoted to WORM, but WORM can never be demoted.
What goes on the chain
The encryption keys that unlock and verify what is in the vault — embedded directly into the smart contract above the token’s functional logic. Anyone who holds or audits the token can check that the keys still match the vault. If a document has been tampered with, the keys no longer resolve.
Where Stele is running.
Private placements were the wedge. The mechanic scales across any asset that needs verifiable ownership and provable terms.
Bonds & private placements
The original wedge. Version-control chaos on term sheets solved at issuance. A bond raise in two weeks instead of twelve.

Four reasons to move your next placement to Stele.
Every term, inscribed before it’s issued.
The WORM vault ensures the final version is the final version. No “amended in email” revisions. No forked drafts. No reconstruction exercises six months after close.
Investors verify for themselves, without asking.
Keys are public. Documents are cryptographically bound to the token. Any investor, regulator, or auditor can independently prove what was agreed — without sending an email to your IR team.
Two weeks, not twelve.
Drafting, structuring, smart-contract deployment, and issuance happen on one stack. Intermediaries don’t disappear entirely — but the version-control overhead, the reconciliation, and the document chaos do.
Built on compliant rails.
ERC3643. KYC/AML baked in. Permissioned transfers. Regulatory documentation inscribed alongside commercial terms. Designed to pass pension-fund procurement on day one.
