How it works
1. Community-led exit When there’s a liquidity opportunity, Slice holders vote on the exit. Voting power scales with your Slice percentage. 2. Execution & distribution Once approved, the protocol executes the sale. Proceeds flow to a vault and are instantly distributed in USDC, pro-rata to Slice holders, no manual claiming. 3. Slice updates For partial exits, your Slice metadata adjusts to reflect your remaining share. For full exits, the Slice is marked as complete and deprecated.Deal Card

Key things to know
- Not stock. Slices do not confer shareholder or voting rights in the target company. They infer tokenised economic exposure only.
- Governance-based exits. Liquidity decisions are initiated by Slice-holder votes and executed by WLTH.
- Tradability. Slices are ERC-721 NFTs and can be sold on the WLTH app at any time.
- Volatility & risk. Returns are not guaranteed; private equity and crypto investing are high-risk. You may lose all invested capital.
FAQ
- What am I buying? A Slice (ERC-721 NFT) that represents tokenised economic exposure to the underlying investment.
- How do payouts work? Any exits, dividends, or distributions are automatically paid out in USDC, pro-rata to Slice holders.
- Can I trade my Slice? Yes. Slices are fully tradable on the WLTH app.
- Who decides when to sell? Slice holders vote on exit opportunities. Approved votes trigger the liquidation process.
- Is my Slice backed by real shares? All WLTH investments are structured so that the underlying equity is held by a company owned and managed by the WLTH protocol, governed by our Terms & Conditions. Every Slice you hold is backed 1:1 by the equity held, giving you direct tokenised economic exposure to that position.
- Where do these investment opportunities come from? WLTH partners with specialized, blue-chip Wall Street brokers of the highest reputation to actively source these deals. By leveraging an exclusive network of company founders, early employees, and venture capital (VC) funds, our partners allow us to access shares in private companies that are typically unavailable to the general public.
- How do you ensure the quality of the companies listed on the platform? WLTH’s partners operate with a “skin in the game” philosophy. Unlike a standard marketplace that simply connects buyers and sellers, the partner uses their own capital to purchase and secure the shares first (“warehousing” the inventory). Because they are taking the financial risk onto their own balance sheet before offering it to us, they conduct rigorous due diligence on every company to ensure it is a sound investment.
- Is it safe? How do you verify the sellers? Safety is WLTH’s priority. Before any transaction takes place, the partner actively vets every counterparty involved. Whether it is a General Partner (GP) of a fund or a direct shareholder. This ensures that the shares are legitimate and the transaction is secure.
- How are these assets structured for me as an investor? Once the shares are verified and purchased, they are placed into a dedicated “Special Purpose Vehicle” (SPV) which is essentially a secure container designed solely to hold that specific asset. When you invest via WLTH, you are buying tokenized exposure into this secure structure.
- How is the “Entry Valuation” determined? The Entry Valuation shown in your term sheet is an indicative reference point based on the most recent data available to us from the Broker. Because pre-IPO and Web3 markets move quickly, this valuation may fluctuate before the deal closes due to new share issuances, cap table updates, or market corrections. If the valuation changes after you have committed funds, we will notify you via email with the updated figures.
