Quick answer: WLTH does not offer guaranteed instant liquidity. Slices are equity-backed pre-IPO positions you may list on the WLTH marketplace when fund rules allow, but exits depend on buyers, lockups, jurisdiction, and demand. This is conditional secondary liquidity, not free trading like a public stock exchange.
Web3 and tokenized pre-IPO platforms can offer shorter effective hold periods than traditional venture funds with 7 to 10 year lockups. But “trade slices freely” overstates the reality. On WLTH, trading means a peer-to-peer sale on the in-app marketplace. WLTH provides infrastructure and smart-contract flows. It does not act as a guaranteed buyer or market maker.

How trading Slices works on WLTH

A Slice is an on-chain NFT representing equity-backed economic exposure to a specific pre-IPO offering. It is not a publicly listed stock.
  1. Subscribe to a fund offering and receive a Slice when the transaction confirms.
  2. Check lockup rules in the fund documents. Some offerings block transfers for a defined period.
  3. List on the marketplace (if eligible) at your chosen price in USDC.
  4. A peer buyer must accept your price and pass eligibility checks.
  5. Settlement occurs on-chain on Base: Slice transfers and payment per listing terms.
