Digital Assets

What wallets are required for participating in a digital asset sale?

Funding wallet

The funding wallet is your own personal wallet that you will pull funds from. You can obtain an Ethereum wallet address from many different providers, but some popular choices include Republic Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, Metamask, and Atomic Wallet. Every wallet provider has pros and cons. We recommend researching your options and finding one that’s right for you. Issuers of token sales may have more specific wallet instructions that will be listed for sale.

Payment wallet

Because tokens are issued on a blockchain, you'll need a wallet address on the blockchain to pay for the investment and a separate wallet to receive the tokens. The wallet you use to receive your tokens will vary per offering, and you can thereafter transfer the received tokens from the receiving wallet to a wallet of your choice.

Receiving wallet for collecting the investment

You should provide an address that:

belongs to you and
can receive tokens on the blockchain where the token is issued.

Using an exchange wallet will create a delay for transactions so we highly recommend a self-custodial wallet (e.g Republic Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, Metamask, Exodus, etc.). However, if you wish to use a Coinbase exchange wallet, Bitpay’s payment protocol is supported. If you wish to use Binance, you must move your funds to a supported wallet and execute your transaction with your selected supported wallet.
Republic will not validate your wallet address for accuracy, so make sure you are using the appropriate wallet address to receive the tokens during distribution. If you are having issues determining the appropriate wallet address, reach out to the issuer to learn more. You will never be using the Bitpay wallet or an exchange wallet to receive your tokens from the issuer.
If you need to change your wallet address, reach out to our support team at crypto@republic.co. However, once a token distribution event begins, you will no longer be able to change your address.

Republic Core LLC (“Core”) provides technology and support services to OpenDeal Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, the “Republic Ecosystem”). Republic Note holders and as well as users of the site and services maintained by the Republic Ecosystem, regardless of and their activities on or relating to the Republic Ecosystem, are subject to the applicable terms of service, in their entirety.

Core is currently conducting an offering of Republic Notes under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) to persons who are accredited investors, as that term is defined in Rule 501. Only accredited investors are eligible to participate in the Rule 506(c) offering. Accredited investors who wish to participate in the Rule 506(c) offering should receive and review carefully the Private Placement Memorandum pertaining to that offering, as it contains important information for potential investors to consider prior to making an investment decision. Accredited investors who wish to participate in the Rule 506(c) offering will be required to (i) complete a subscription agreement, (ii) acknowledge that they have received and read the Private Placement Memorandum, and (iii) provide information verifying their status as accredited investors.

Core is also “testing the waters” with respect to the sale of Republic Notes under Regulation A of the Securities Act. The “testing the waters” process allows companies to determine whether there may be interest in an eventual offering of its securities to qualified purchasers under Regulation A. Core is not under any obligation to make an offering under Regulation A. No money or other consideration is being solicited for an offering under Regulation A at this time and, if sent, it will not be accepted.

Core may choose to make an offering to some, but not all, of the people who indicate an interest in investing, and that offering may or may not be made under Regulation A. For example, Core may choose to proceed with its offering under Rule 506(c) without ever conducting a Regulation A offering, in which case only accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501 will be able to buy Republic Notes.

If and when Core conducts an offering under Regulation A of the Act, it will do so only once (i) it has filed an offering statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), (ii) the SEC has qualified such offering statement and (iii) investors have subscribed to the offering in the manner provided for in the offering statement. The information in the offering statement will be more complete than any test-the-waters materials and could differ in important ways. Prospective investors who are interested in participating in the Regulation A offering must read the offering statement filed with the SEC, when that offering statement becomes publicly available.

No money or other consideration is being solicited at this time in connection with any potential Regulation A offering and, if tendered, will not be accepted. No offer to buy securities in a Regulation A offering can be accepted and no part of the purchase price can be received until an offering statement is qualified with the SEC. Any offer to buy securities may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time before notice of its acceptance is given after the qualification date. Any indication of interest in Core’s offering involves no obligation or commitment of any kind.
