We bring cap tables onchain to make equity move as code 🚀

Cap tables today are still stuck in PDFs, Excel files, SaaS private databases and legal workflows.
OCP replaces that with smart contracts, wallet-based ownership, and real-time compliance - already in production.

4/
What it does:
✔︎ Turns equity into smart contracts
✔︎ Enforces transfer rules at the protocol level
✔︎ Keeps cap tables accurate in real time
✔︎ Gives investors self-custody, verifiable ownership

5/
OCP is live and production-grade.
It already powers thousands of stakeholders and sets the foundation for regulated DeFi in equity.

It enables secondary markets, programmatic vesting, and automated compliance, all built in from day one.

6/
This week, SEC Chairman Atkins said that on-chain securities have “the potential to remodel aspects of the securities market.”

OCP does exactly that. 
Not a wrapper. Not a layer.
A system of record.

If you think the antiquated equity system needs a reboot, here we go.
