Brokerages

Drive market activity and promote Royalty Token.

Admin Trustee Monitoring of financials and verifying of growth targets. Conduct due diligence to maintain high-quality Royalty Token-backed assets. Admin trustee proposes votes based on requests from Merchants and Token Holders and manages offline collateral for the DAO. Receives vested tokens tied to growth targets. Maintain protection treasury to absorb LP losses and align with ecosystem growth.
