STOBOX

Founding and History

Stobox was co-founded in 2018 by Gene Deyev and Ross Shemeliak. The company began as an STO (Security Token Offering) consulting firm, helping businesses navigate the then-nascent landscape of compliant digital securities. Its early work culminated in the co-authorship of one of the first books on STOs with the Malta Digital Innovation Authority, establishing credibility with regulators early on. Over the next several years, Stobox evolved from a consulting model into a full-stack technology platform, launching “Stobox 4” as an all-in-one issuance and management platform. In 2025–2026, the company transitioned to a three-product suite under the banner of “The Stobox Stack,” sunsetting the Stobox 4 brand to focus on Intelligence (structure), Raisable (raise), and Compass (tokenize). Stobox’s history is marked by active participation in standard-setting: the team authored the Stobox Tokenization Framework (battle-tested across 100+ client engagements), co-authored the STV3 compliance-embedded tokenization protocol, and publicly backed the ERC-7943 token standard. In 2025, CEO Gene Deyev participated in the SEC Crypto Task Force roundtable on tokenized securities, signaling the company’s engagement with U.S. regulatory developments.

Products and Platforms

Stobox’s current product suite is organized as “The Stobox Stack”:

- Intelligence – A canonical record that serves as a single source of truth for a company’s legal structure, cap table, financials, and asset appraisals. It includes the AXIS Readiness Score, which rates a company’s preparedness to raise capital and tokenize across seven weighted pillars (Asset Quality, Legal & Compliance, Transparency, Technology & Protocol, Liquidity & Markets, Governance, Risk Mitigation). The Intelligence core also features a knowledge graph tracing each data point to its source, a live data room, and an integrity engine that flags contradictions.

- Raisable – A capital-raising module that prepares broker-accepted offerings (Reg D 506(c) and Reg S) without requiring issuers to give up a percentage of their raise. It generates disclosure documents, data room materials, and Form D directly from the company’s Intelligence record, then routes the offering to a licensed broker-dealer for a flat fee.

- Compass – A tokenization engine that converts a structured company into a live, compliant tokenized security via an On-Chain Asset Passport. This passport includes built-in transfer rules, an on-chain registry on Base, and a public investor page. It is built on the STV3 protocol co-authored by Stobox, ensuring compliance at the smart-contract level.

Other notable offerings include the STV3 Programmable Assets Protocol, the Stobox 4 legacy platform (still available for existing clients but no longer marketed), and the Stobox Global Partnership Program launched in late 2025 to expand ecosystem integration.
