On-Chain IPOs, or Initial Public Offerings conducted on a blockchain, represent a method for companies to issue and distribute securities directly on a distributed ledger. This process leverages smart contracts for automation of issuance, ownership transfer, and compliance functions. It aims to reduce intermediaries and enhance transparency in capital raising. Such offerings typically involve tokenized equity or other digital securities.
