Questions institutions ask first

AKRU is compliance-first infrastructure for institutions to issue, administer, and service tokenized securities — running the full fund administration lifecycle on an institutional-grade ledger, alongside the systems an institution already uses.

AKRU serves eight seats in private markets: real-estate fund sponsors, credit unions, Gulf banks, financial institutions and wealth managers including RIAs, venture capital and emerging managers, fund administrators, accounting and advisory firms, and capital-markets partners.

AKRU is infrastructure, not a single application. Instead of one tool for investor reports, another for cap tables, and an accountant for K-1s, AKRU runs the whole lifecycle on one platform where the numbers tie by construction — and it operates as an SEC-registered transfer agent.

No. AKRU builds compliance-first infrastructure for tokenized securities — regulated financial instruments. KYC, AML, accreditation, and transfer restrictions are enforced in the platform.

Yes. AKRU operates an SEC-registered transfer agent. Registration covers maintaining the securityholder register, processing transfers and re-registrations, and keeping records to federal transfer-agent standards — regulated recordkeeping that most tokenization vendors don't carry.

AKRU has run in production on Avalanche since 2022, chosen for institutional-grade settlement and a 90%+ transaction-cost reduction versus prior infrastructure.

Every AKRU module writes to the same event stream, so there is one source of truth across issuance, administration, compliance, and reporting — nothing to reconcile between subsystems, because there are no subsystems keeping separate books.

87% of K-1 content auto-derives from the on-chain cap table, and a QA gate blocks any K-1 batch where an LP allocation drifts more than $0.01 from Schedule K totals. Multi-state support and LP-level footnotes are included.

KYC and AML via GBG, accreditation, and permissioned transfers are enforced in the data model. AKRU operates as an SEC-registered transfer agent and has a SOC 2 audit in progress.

Security and controls are built for regulated finance: KYC/AML rails, permissioned infrastructure with identity-bound instruments, administrative controls, and disciplined data handling, with a SOC 2 examination in progress. See the Security & Controls page for detail.

No. AKRU connects through standardized APIs and runs alongside your current systems, extending your operation rather than replacing your core.

As a registrar change — a recordkeeping migration that moves the securityholder register and capital accounts onto AKRU while preserving every investor's economic interests. Records reconcile against your prior administrator before go-live, and the reporting cycle stays intact.

Both. New issuances run the full issuance workflow — onboarding, cap table, transfer restrictions, regulatory reporting. Existing funds onboard through a registrar change that preserves each investor's economic interests.

Yes. The white-label deployment runs the full platform under your brand, with configurable workflows and full administrative control — you keep the client relationship, AKRU carries the plumbing.

Four: the full platform end to end, modular licensing of individual suites or modules, white-label under your own brand, and API-first integration around your existing core.

Any of the 12 — institutions commonly start with the Tax Suite, Treasury, or the Compliance Engine and expand from there. Every module writes to the same event fabric, so later additions share one source of truth.

It depends on the deployment model. Modular and API-first adoptions are the fastest paths; full-platform and registrar-change implementations run through phased compliance gates, with written clearance at each gate before the next phase begins. We'll scope a timeline against your structure on a first call.

You do. Your fund's records are your records — AKRU maintains them to a regulated standard on your behalf, and you can export them at any time.

Compliant transfer and re-registration workflows are built in; a regulated secondary venue is on the roadmap. Identity, accreditation, and sanctions are verified before any transfer settles.

Pricing depends on scope, deployment model, and assets under administration — there is no published rate card. Contact our team for a proposal against your structure.
