The offering documents have been updated, and the on-chain rules must also find their corresponding version
In native issuance, the issuance, transfer, services, and settlement of the assets themselves are moved onto the chain, reducing duplicate reconciliation between the token and external registries. But the legal documents will still change: when interest-rate provisions, the scope of eligible investors, or redemption arrangements are modified, the on-chain contracts can’t keep running the old version—yet they also can’t quietly override historical rights.
I believe every change must produce three linked artifacts: the approved legal text, the enabled contract version, and the affected holders and outstanding orders. Before it takes effect, the transition rules must be clearly explained; after it takes effect, you should still be able to prove which version of the terms was used for a given transaction. Otherwise, “the chain is the final ledger” only ensures the numbers match—it doesn’t provide the legal basis for rights.
Dusk’s deterministic settlement and programmable compliance provide the foundation for versioned execution. Tools like Pituitary—designed to detect specification drift—can also help uncover mismatches between documents and code. The real challenge remains: how the issuer, venues, and technical parties jointly approve the changes and give investors reasonable notice.
@Dusk When discussing native issuance, I would treat changes to the terms as the core use case, not an exception. $DUSK #dusk For a security to exist over the long term, it’s not enough to get the initial minting right. You also need to be able to trace each institutional change back to the specific code, the specific rights, and the complete evidence of the prior version.
