5. Frequently Asked Questions
How do you ensure the stocks I purchase are backed by real underlying assets?
We maintain a strict 1:1 peg to real-world blue-chip stocks through a transparent custodial structure. The underlying assets are purchased and held in segregated accounts with our primary brokerage partner, Interactive Brokers. Additionally, all transactions are recorded on-chain, allowing anyone to independently verify the asset backing.
How do I fund my account and start trading?
The DeShare protocol is non-custodial, meaning you never have to deposit fiat funds into a centralized platform. To start trading:
- Connect your preferred Web3 wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Rabby, WalletConnect).
- Ensure your wallet holds standard stablecoins (like USDT or USDC).
- When you place an order, our audited smart contract automatically swaps your stablecoin for the tokenized asset. When you sell, the proceeds are routed directly back to your wallet.
Will my trades suffer from slippage or poor pricing?
We minimize slippage by using a dual-layer RFQ (Request for Quote) execution model. This model draws liquidity from both our on-chain pools and the aggregated order books of our partnered traditional brokerages. By routing your order to multiple competitive market makers, we ensure execution prices that are comparable to—and often better than—traditional retail brokerages.
