Building on existing tokenization frameworks, i.e. T-bill products, GAIB tokenizes physical assets through historically proven structures allowing for clear ownership and enforcement rights ensuring timely liquidation in a default scenario.

ONRAMP (On-Chain Real World Asset Minting Protocol) expands on the best parts of existing tokenization through SPV structures to ensure legal and economic benefits of assets are straightforward and easily accessible. Through a combination of secured legal frameworks, tokenization technology, and vault-based smart contracts, ONRAMP enables investors to participate in the entire capital stack (credit, equity, and mezzanine) of AI infrastructure providers.

A Segregated Portfolio Company or SPC, is a type of bankruptcy-remote entity in which distinct classes for assets and liabilities are segregated from each other and the SPC itself. SPCs can contain an unlimited number of SPs each with their own distinct assets & liabilities. GAIB owns a Cayman based SPC to initiate financing deals.

Underwriters will be responsible for sourcing new Sponsor deals, conducting comprehensive due diligence on clients and structuring transactions working with all 3rd parties involved. Transactions by Underwriters will be underwritten in an agent capacity ‘selling’ the sourced Sponsor client transactions to investors (GAIB SPs). GAIB’s SPC will contain multiple deals at any given time, of which they can be sourced by GAIB acting as the Underwriter, a trusted 3rd Party Underwriter, or a combination of the two. 3rd Party Underwriters will undergo screening via GAIB’s Credit Committee.

Sponsors are the end clients accessing capital through GAIB’s protocol. Proceeds from transactions may be applied toward financing growth initiatives, supporting operations, or refinancing existing obligations tied to eligible technology and infrastructure assets. Each Sponsor and its assets undergo a rigorous internal screening process to ensure compliance with GAIB’s Eligibility & Tokenization Criteria and are verified by an independent third-party agent. Sponsors may be presented to GAIB’s Credit Committee directly or via approved third-party Underwriters for review and approval.

Strategy Memorandum between Investor and GAIB Vault

Section titled “Strategy Memorandum between Investor and GAIB Vault”

The Strategy Memorandum serves as the disclosure document provided to Investors prior to depositing capital into the GAIB Vault. It outlines the investment objectives, risk factors, legal structure, and operational framework of GAIB’s protocol. The document describes how investor capital will be deployed across various asset classes (credit, equity, mezzanine), the potential yield profiles, and the mechanics of liquidity and redemption. It also sets forth the governance framework, including the role of the Credit Committee, risk management policies, and credit enhancement mechanisms. The Strategy Memorandum functions as the guiding reference for Investors, ensuring alignment of expectations and compliance with applicable offering standards.

Subscription Agreement between GAIB Vault and GAIB SPC

Section titled “Subscription Agreement between GAIB Vault and GAIB SPC”

The Subscription Agreement governs the transfer of investor capital from the GAIB Vault into the Segregated Portfolios (SPs) within the Cayman SPC. It establishes the legal basis for the Vault’s subscription into the SPC and details the rights and obligations of the Vault as a participating investor. Key provisions include representations and warranties, capital commitment mechanics, allocation of financing opportunities, redemption rights, and limitations on liability. The Subscription Agreement ensures that funds committed to an SP are formally recognized under Cayman law and provides the contractual foundation for subsequent financing activities undertaken by the SPC.

Financing Participation Agreement between SPs and Underwriters:

Section titled “Financing Participation Agreement between SPs and Underwriters:”

SP will purchase Financing Participation Interests in the assets originated by the Underwriter, essentially extending SP capital as a loan to the Underwriter. It will contain protective provisions such that if the Underwriter does not honor the agreement SP has recourse to Underwriter. Event Defaults under the Participation Agreement will trigger an elevation, entitling SP to all contractual remedies against the end Sponsor afforded to the Underwriter under their Underlying Definitive Agreement.

Definitive Financing Agreement between Underwriters and Sponsors:

Section titled “Definitive Financing Agreement between Underwriters and Sponsors:”

Depending on the Underwriter (GAIB or Trusted 3rd Party), the definitive agreement will define total financing amount, payments, and covenants. It will also define collateral whereby assets will be ring-fenced through a ‘True Sale’ to another SPV with. Furthermore, definitive agreements can contain provisions for: personal guarantees by company directors, charge over shares and existing assets, assignment of future SLA payments, and/or assignment of insurance contracts.

Asset Tokenization/Service Agreement between GAIB Tokenization Engine and SPC

Section titled “Asset Tokenization/Service Agreement between GAIB Tokenization Engine and SPC”

The SPC will tokenize and send cashflows to GAIB’s Vault. sAID will represent ownership interest, rights or participation in the Vault

Further Definitions

  • GPUs secured by loan and given to the Underwriter in the initial ‘True Sale’ would be under control by the Underwriter. And any Creditors to Sponsor would be subordinate to Underwriter’s portion of assets.

  • The distinct asset pool has, in the case of credit, a perfected security interest by a first or second lien, or equity ownership rights.
