How it works

One architecture.
Every asset.

Every LiquiCo offering shares the same four-layer rail — a bankruptcy-remote SPV, a permissioned token contract, a SCRA-safe liquidity layer, and an escrow / RTA settlement spine. Built once. Reused for every asset class.

The spine

The capital stack,
in one diagram.

Each asset is held in its own bankruptcy-remote SPV. Strategic equity sits at the top — scarce, by-invitation, first-loss. Beneath it, the debt tranches are spun off to investors at ₹10,000.

Coupons flow top-down

Cash from the asset (rent, interest, PPA payments, lease receivables) fills the waterfall starting with Senior, then Subordinated, then Mezzanine, before residual goes to equity.

Losses absorb bottom-up

Any impairment is absorbed first by Strategic Equity, then Mezzanine, Subordinated, and only finally by Senior debt. You are protected by every layer below you.

Strategic equity is never offered to retail. Its scarcity is what protects your debt.

You invest in the debt. Strategic equity sits above you as first-loss protection — it is paid last and loses first.

Where your money sits

Four segregated accounts.
One master, per SPV.

Subscriptions, operating cash, the debt-service reserve, and investor payouts each live in their own account at a partner bank — controlled by the independent trustee, not by LiquiCo.

Master account · per SPV
Ring-fenced. Controlled by the independent trustee.
API-driven virtual accounts
01
Escrow
Holds subscriptions until allotment

Receives investor subscriptions during the offer. Funds are released to the Operating account only at closing, against trustee-verified allotment.

02
Operating
Receives asset cash flows; pays opex + debt service

Rent, coupon, and recoveries land here. Opex and tranche-wise debt service are paid from this account in waterfall order.

03
Reserve
Debt-service / maintenance buffer

Funded to a defined target (typically 3 months of senior debt service). Top-up rule runs before any residual is released.

04
Distribution
Pays coupons & redemptions to holder wallets

Pays coupons and redemptions out to whitelisted holder wallets on schedule, reconciled to the SEBI-registered RTA register.

Flow of funds
InvestorsubscriptionEscrowclosingOperatingwaterfallReserve+DistributionHolder wallets

Each SPV runs four segregated accounts under one master, via API-driven virtual accounts at a partner bank / digital trustee. Ring-fenced per SPV, reconciled to the SEBI-registered RTA. No cross-SPV movement, no commingling — LiquiCo never holds investor money.

In practice

How the waterfall
actually runs.

From cash-flow arrival to the final residual, every step is sequenced, deducted, and co-signed. Strategic equity sees money only at the bottom of the page.

Distribution waterfall
How money actually moves — top-down, in this order only.

  8. 8
    Residual → Distribution Account → Strategic EquityResidual only
    Only if every step above is fully satisfied. Equity is paid last; in a shortfall it is paid nothing.

Money moves only in this order, and every movement is co-signed by the independent trustee — equity is paid only after all debt and reserves are satisfied. This is enforced operationally (account controls) and on-chain (the distribution module).

Four layers

Built once.
Reused for every asset.

01
SPV Layer
Bankruptcy-remote vehicles
  • Independent LLP / Pvt Ltd per asset
  • IBBI-registered valuer + RICS cross-check
  • SEBI-registered debenture trustee acts for investors
  • Big-4 statutory audit, escrow bank, custodian
02
Token Layer
ERC-3643 / T-REX permissioned
  • ONCHAINID identity + on-chain KYC claim
  • Modular compliance: country, lock-up, holder-cap, whitelist
  • Polygon CDK (zkEVM, permissioned) · sponsored gas
  • One contract per tranche · transfer-restricted by design
03
Liquidity Layer
SCRA-safe windows + credit
  • Scheduled liquidity windows · private bilateral matching
  • Spot-delivery settlement — outside the exchange perimeter
  • Parallel credit track via NBFC partners (pledge, not sale)
  • AMM Liquidity Desk (CIRCA-U) in research preview
04
Settlement Layer
Escrow + RTA-of-record
  • Funds settle in the SPV's escrow account — not LiquiCo's
  • SEBI-registered RTA holds the statutory register
  • On-chain registry reconciles to the RTA at every sync
  • e₹ / tokenised-deposit-ready for instant settlement
SILC framework

Two tracks.
One way out.

Exit your position through a scheduled liquidity window — or keep the asset and borrow against it on the credit track. Pick the route that fits the moment.

SequentialExit Track
I want to exit
1
Liquidity Window — Request to Exit
First stop · scheduled

Submit an exit request into the next scheduled window. Bilateral matching happens privately — no order book, no live price, no continuous trading.

2
Wealth Manager Network
72 hrs · bilateral

Assisted matching between whitelisted HNIs for large tickets. Negotiated, privately settled, fully compliant.

3
AMM Liquidity Desk (CIRCA-U)
Research Preview
RFQ · fair value

Request a firm quote. LP partners buy at model NAV under a one-to-one negotiated quote — not a continuous order book.

4
SPV Buyback / Tender Window
Last resort

SPV repurchases at NAV at scheduled intervals. Hard cap 2.5–5% of supply per window.

ParallelCredit Track
I need liquidity, not exit
A
Collateral-Based Lending
Day 1 · strongest

Pledge tokens to an RBI-licensed NBFC partner; borrow 50–60% LTV in INR. A pledge is a lien, not a sale — no transfer of title, no capital-gains event. You keep your coupon.

B
P2P Aggregation
Partner-dependent

LiquiCo aggregates NBFC-P2P partners. The NBFC is the lender of record; funds flow bank-to-bank.

C
Lease Rental Discounting
RE-backed only

Borrow against future rental streams of Bharat Nexus warehouse SPVs. Discounted at institutional rates.

LiquiCo is the Lending Service Provider. NBFC partners are the lenders of record — disbursal and repayment flow bank-to-bank.
Lender of last resort · crisis-only
A trustee-managed 2.5%-per-deal reserve pool.

Activated only in a documented market-disruption event, at the trustee's discretion, to facilitate exits when neither the liquidity window nor the credit track can clear. Not a guarantee. Not a deposit. Not insurance.

Platform-independent survival

Even if LiquiCo disappears,
your investment doesn't.

Six independent layers — legal, custodial, operational, registry — sit between you and the platform. Each one would continue without us.

Separation of platform & asset
LiquiCo is the technology platform — not the SPV.

Your money flows into the bankruptcy-remote SPV's own accounts, controlled by an independent trustee. LiquiCo never owns the asset or holds your money.

01
Legal separation

Each asset is held in its own bankruptcy-remote SPV (LLP / Pvt Ltd / Trust). The SPV — not LiquiCo — owns the asset.

02
Custodian independence

The asset is held by an independent custodian, contracted directly to the SPV. LiquiCo is not in the custody chain.

03
Trustee independence

A SEBI-registered debenture / investor trustee acts for investors under a contract with the SPV. The trustee co-signs every distribution.

04
Operational continuity

Asset manager and servicers continue under SPV contracts regardless of LiquiCo. Rent, coupons and recoveries keep flowing.

05
Register portability

The statutory holder register lives at the SEBI-registered RTA — not in LiquiCo's database. It is portable to another technology vendor.

06
Token-register reconciliation

The on-chain registry reconciles to the RTA register at every sync. Your claim is provable independently of the LiquiCo app.

If LiquiCo dies tomorrow, the SPV, its accounts, the trustee, the custodian, the RTA register, and your claim all continue.

Two independent guardians

Custodian and trustee.
Two different jobs.

The custodian safeguards the asset. The trustee safeguards the investor. Two regulated parties, two separate mandates — neither is LiquiCo, and both continue without us.

CUSTODIAN
Safeguards the asset.
Protects the ASSET.
  • Holds the underlying asset, title, or securities
  • Independent of LiquiCo — contracts directly with the SPV
  • Provides Proof-of-Reserve attestations on a defined cadence
  • Regulated under its own custody licence regime
TRUSTEE
Safeguards the investor.
Protects the INVESTOR.
  • Holds security in trust for debt holders
  • Monitors covenants and co-signs every waterfall release
  • Can enforce security on default — independent of LiquiCo
  • SEBI-registered debenture / investor trustee
Two separate, independently regulated parties — one protects the asset, the other protects you. Neither is LiquiCo. Both survive the platform: if LiquiCo disappears, the custodian still holds the asset and the trustee still acts for investors under the SPV's contracts.
The moat

One set of rails.
A constellation of SPVs.

LiquiCo HoldCo runs the rails — token standard, compliance, KYC, custody, RTA, liquidity. Every asset gets its own bankruptcy-remote SPV that plugs into the same rails.

Future SPVs
Ring-fenced SPV children · each bankruptcy-remote

SPVs are operational children of the rails — NOT financial subsidiaries. LiquiCo does not consolidate their assets or liabilities. Each SPV is bankruptcy-remote and stands on its own balance sheet.

01
Asset-agnostic rails

The same chassis issues any asset class — credit, real estate, infrastructure, export receivables. One stack, every deal.

02
Add an asset, not a stack

Each new asset or jurisdiction needs only a new SPV — and, if cross-border, a new advisor panel. Same rails, same compliance.

03
The moat compounds

Every SPV deepens shared liquidity, reputation, and panel relationships. Each new asset makes every other one easier to launch.

Before any asset goes live

The Pre-SPV
Readiness Gate.

A named advisor panel, a deal room, and an Investment Committee sign-off — applied identically to first-party deals and to TaaS partner deals.

Pre-SPV Readiness Gate
No asset goes live until it clears our Readiness Gate.

Before a single token is minted, a named advisor panel is retained, a deal room is opened, and an Investment Committee signs off. The same standard applies to first-party deals and TaaS partner deals.

01
Panel retained

Every named role is contracted to the SPV — not to LiquiCo. Engagement letters are part of the IM.

02
Deal Room diligence

Legal, tax, valuation, DD and rating reports are exchanged in a single deal room and cross-referenced.

03
Investment Committee approval

The Investment Committee approves on the file. Only then does the SPV deploy and the offer go live.

Aligned incentives

We invest first.
We lose first.

LiquiCo co-invests 2.5–5% of every SPV pari-passu in the most junior tranche we offer to investors.

Skin in the game
LiquiCo co-invests 2.5% of every SPV — pari-passu, first-loss among offered tranches.
Pari-passu

LiquiCo co-invests 2.5–5% of every SPV pari-passu in the most junior tranche we offer — we take first loss alongside you. Disclosed in each offer document.

Mezzanine trancheLiquiCo slice
LiquiCo 2.5%
Investors
Junior tranche is the first offered layer to absorb loss after strategic equity. LiquiCo loses with you, in the same waterfall position.

Our incentives are aligned: if your tranche loses, we lose first among offered tranches.

Choosing the right vehicle

Pvt Ltd · LLP · Trust.
One spine, three shells.

Each SPV uses the legal vehicle best suited to the asset, the instrument, and the investor base. The capital stack, waterfall, and protections are the same.

Advanced — for the curious

How the SPV is owned
at inception.

Every vehicle starts owned by a LiquiCo entity in trust for incoming investors, then dilutes to our disclosed 2.5–5% first-loss co-investment as capital is allotted.

The credibility moment

How we keep a liquid market
lawful.

01
No exchange

We never run a continuous order book, automated matching, or live public price discovery. Every transfer is a privately negotiated, immediate-settlement (spot-delivery) transaction between whitelisted investors — outside the SCRA exchange perimeter.

02
Permissioned by design

Every transfer clears an on-chain ERC-3643 compliance gate: KYC, eligible-investor status, jurisdiction, lock-up, and any vehicle-specific holder cap are enforced before settlement. LiquiCo's LLP debt has no holder cap; Pvt Ltd debt/equity is capped at 200 (Sec 42); LLP equity / partner-rights is self-capped at 500; Trust and bailee-custody have no cap.

03
RTA is truth

The SEBI-registered Registrar & Transfer Agent holds the statutory register; the on-chain registry reconciles to it.
