Why do I need to link my Republic Wallet?
INX is a non-custodial trading platform which means that you won’t need to deposit your Republic Note tokens to the INX account. Instead, you will hold your tokens in your self-custody wallet and set an allowance for INX to move your tokens once the sale trade is successful. The Republic wallet is supported by INX and enables easy management of cryptocurrencies and security tokens such as Republic Note. By linking the Republic Wallet to INX, you will be able to easily trade the Republic Note and make deposits to your INX account.
In addition, the Republic Wallet is integrated with the Republic investment platform which will allow investors to access a wide range of benefits and experiences that are not available through other digital wallets.
What is wallet whitelisting?
Due to the restrictions associated with transferring and selling the Republic Note, investor wallets must be “whitelisted”, or registered and confirmed to trade, buy, and sell the token with our transfer agent, Brassica.
Whitelisting helps Republic and our partners ensure that the owner of the wallet is indeed the same person who is or may be holding the Republic Note tokens. Republic, INX, and our partners have made this a seamless process for investors on the backend.
If you invested in the Republic Note via the Republic platform, your wallet will automatically be whitelisted. If you buy or sell Republic Note tokens on INX, your Republic Wallet will be whitelisted. If your Republic Wallet is not whitelisted for any reason and you would like to have it whitelisted, please reach out to the Note team at note-support@republic.co and we’ll be happy to help.
Transfer is only allowed amongst unlocked Republic Notes, regardless of whitelisted status.
