About

HighCastle provides a full technological infrastructure and legal framework to offer securities and subscribe investors, issue, distribute and manage private securities in a digital form on the secure distributed ledger and hold blockchain-based share registry instead of current spreadsheets. Issuance of securities in a digital form allows private companies to leverage the benefits of public capital markets with even greater efficiency: liquidity premium, 24/7 trading, embedded compliance, easy follow-on rounds, automated dividend payment and many others.
The HighCastle opens up the markets to those smaller companies that previously saw the cost of execution as a limiting factor. Though issuance of digital securities utilising HighCastle platform, private companies can raise funds and issue securities 60% faster and at least 50% cheaper. This opens an enormous opportunity for the growth of private businesses.

1. Offering & Subscription:

3. Registry:
- Blockchain-based HighCastle Registrar service and legal framework for issuance of securities in a digitally wrapped form: legal agreements package, maintenance of share registry (securities ownership record), distribution and transfers of securities and shareholders management.
