Tezos-based STO Platform Equisafe Becomes A Corporate Baker

Equisafe

Equisafe was the first STO platform to tokenize real estate on the Tezos blockchain.

In March 2020, the first STO on Tezos took place on the Equisafe platform. This was done at the “French Tech Night” at the Consulat général de France in New York.

The tokenized property was the “Pavillon de musique de la comtesse de Provence” in Versailles.

The property is officially classified as a historic monument, built in the style of Neoclassical architecture by the French King Louis XVI in 1784.

The architect was Jean-François Chalgrin and he also built the Luxembourg Palace in Paris, which is now the Seat of the French Senate.

Since then, the platform has seen enormous growth. One billion Euro total value in assets is currently managed through Equisafe, €210 million in STO’s has been financed through the platform, over 7,000 registered investors have an account, and it has seen €22.7 million total trading volume to date.

Corporate baker

As Equisafe recently announced, they have started up their own Tezos node as a corporate baker. They become the 22nd Tezos corporate baker. A company that sets up a Tezos node, is playfully called a corporate baker. 

A Corporate baker is not a special type of baker with any special position within the Tezos ecosystem. The fact that this baker will be run by a corporation simply emphasizes the amount of trust and involvement corporations show in the Tezos blockchain.

Additionally, setting up a node/ baker, enables them to play an active role in the democratic Tezos protocol and have a voice in the direction of core protocol development via amendment upgrades.

It essentially gives them a stake in the blockchain that they are running programs and applications on.
