Welcome to the OTAS whitepaper 👋
This is the working home of the Open Tokenized Asset Standard (OTAS) community whitepaper, a draft exploring composable token primitives for post-trade clearing, settlement, and compliance across distributed ledgers.
It's an open draft for community review, contributed under the OTAS Lab at LF Decentralized Trust.

That's the best way to understand what we're working toward and where the open questions are.
🧭 How to get involved
Depending on what you're looking to do:
-
Have feedback or input on a specific section?
Check the open Discussions and open Issues first, your point may already be under discussion, and adding to an existing thread keeps the conversation in one place.
-
Want to contribute?
Look for issues labelled good-first-issue or help-wanted, these are good entry points.
-
Have a question, idea, or proposal that isn't already open?
Please open a new Discussion or a new Issue. Corrections, challenges to our assumptions, and pointers to prior work are all genuinely welcome.
-
Not sure where to start?
Introduce yourself in the 👋 welcome discussion, tell us a bit about you and what draws you to this space. It's the easiest first step, and a great way to find where you might fit in.
💬 Discussions vs. Issues — which to use?
- Discussions — open-ended questions, ideas, introductions, and debate on direction.
- Issues — specific, actionable items: corrections, section feedback, proposals, and repo/tooling tasks. When you open one, the templates will help you pick the right form.
Thanks for being here, we're glad to have you. 🚀
