TokenForge

The issuer tooling layer for regulated security tokens on Solana

Developer Tooling Hackathon Build
The issuer tooling layer for regulated security tokens built on top of Solana Security Token Standard (SSTS)
THE PROBLEM

SSTS gives the protocol.
Issuers still need everything else.

THE GAP

  • ~50 lines of account plumbing per token
  • No reusable SDK — every team builds one
  • Compliance needs custom programs
  • Operators need dashboards, not CLIs

The math:

24 canonical SSTS instructions ship on-chain.

But issuers still derive PDAs, compose transactions, build compliance, and wire operator UIs from scratch.

Result: months of integration per issuer.

The canonical SSTS launched with 24 instructions — it's a complete security token protocol. But every RWA issuer faces the same integration wall: they need to have deep Solana knowledge, PDA derivation, multi-instruction composition, compliance program development, and building their own operator dashboards. This gap is what we're trying to solve.
WHY NOW

The standard just launched. The window is open.

STANDARD

SSTS launched Jan 2026

Built by Halborn, Hoodies, Securitize, Franklin Templeton — with Solana Foundation support

MARKET

On-chain RWA: $21B+

636K+ holders, 140 issuers. Solana RWA hit $1.1B and growing fastest

OPPORTUNITY

Zero incumbent tooling

No dedicated SSTS issuer platform exists. First-mover advantage is real and time-limited

SSTS was announced January 26, 2026 — it's months old. The standard has heavyweight backing (Halborn, Securitize, Franklin Templeton, Solana Foundation) but zero tooling layer. Meanwhile, on-chain RWAs crossed $21B in January 2026, and Solana is the fastest-growing chain for RWA value. The window to own the SSTS tooling layer is now — before someone else does.
THE SOLUTION

From 50 lines of plumbing
to 5 lines of SDK.

📦

TypeScript SDK

3-layer design: L0 canonical → L1 adapters → L2 workflows. 13 functions, 1,637 lines

🛡️

FAMP Compliance

Allowlist/blocklist verification program. Policy-oracle pattern — events drive freeze/thaw

⚡

Issuer Dashboard

Next.js no-code UI for token lifecycle, compliance management, and distributions

TokenForge has three components: The SDK wraps canonical SSTS with ergonomic workflow APIs — createSecurityToken, mintTokens, transferTokens, and more. FAMP is our compliance verification program registered with SSTS, managing allowlists and blocklists with a novel policy-oracle pattern. The dashboard gives operators a no-code interface for everything. All built on top of canonical SSTS, never competing with it.
TokenForge Dashboard
SHIPPING NOW

Working on devnet

✓ Create, mint, transfer tokens
✓ FAMP policy management UI
✓ Distribution create & claim
✓ PostgreSQL-backed dashboard
✓ 4 programs deployed to devnet
The code on the left is real — it's what the SDK does. Behind the scenes, that single call handles: PDA derivation, Token-2022 extension configuration, verification config initialization, and transaction composition. What used to take ~50 lines of account plumbing is now one function call. The dashboard is live on devnet with wallet connect, 5 operational tabs, and PostgreSQL persistence.
WHY SOLANA

Compliance needs runtime enforcement,
not database checks.

WITHOUT SOLANA

  • Off-chain compliance = trust assumption
  • Per-issuer contract sprawl (EVM)
  • Multi-day settlement for transfers

WITH SOLANA + SSTS

  • Verification runs on-chain, every transfer
  • Single token primitive — no per-issuer contracts
  • Sub-second finality, sub-cent fees
This isn't "blockchain for the sake of blockchain." SSTS uses Solana's Transfer Hook extension to enforce compliance at runtime — every token transfer is verified on-chain before it executes. On EVM chains, each issuer deploys their own contract, creating sprawl and audit overhead. On Solana, there's one canonical SSTS program and one transfer hook. SPL Token-2022 gives us a single token primitive with extensions, not custom contracts per issuer. This is structurally better for regulated assets.

COMPETITION

EVM platforms exist. Solana tooling does not.

Capability Securitize Tokeny SSTS Example TokenForge
Solana-native SSTS ❌ ❌ ✅ ✅
Reusable SDK ❌ ❌ ❌ ✅
Operator dashboard ✅ ✅ ❌ ✅
Compliance extension ✅ ✅ ❌ ✅
Canonical-first (not fork) ❌ ❌ ✅ ✅
SSTS tooling layer ❌ ❌ ❌ ✅
Current contender are Securitize and Tokeny are great EVM platforms — but they're not on Solana. The official SSTS example project is a reference implementation, not a production tooling layer. TokenForge is the only dedicated SSTS issuer platform that combines SDK, dashboard, and compliance extensions while staying canonical-first. Our moat: deep SSTS expertise and shipping velocity.
TEAM

Solo builder. Full-stack. Shipping fast.

Founder

Reinhart Samuel

Fullstack Web3 Engineer

  • EVM smart contract engineer
  • Solana cNFT / Metaplex (B2B collectibles)
  • Co-founded algo trading platform
  • $10M monthly volume per exchange

WHY THIS TEAM WINS

  • Shipped v1.0 → v1.5 in 12 days
  • Deep protocol + frontend + infra range
  • Trading platform experience = issuer mindset
  • Canonical-first discipline, not ego-driven forks
I'm a fullstack engineer with experience across EVM and Solana. Built cNFT tooling for a B2B collectibles platform ("tweet to mint") on Solana. Co-founded an algo trading platform with $10M monthly volume per exchange integration — that experience gave me direct insight into what issuers and operators need: reliability, clear diagnostics, and no-code workflows. The velocity speaks for itself: canonical migration, SDK, integration tests, and dashboard in under two weeks.
ROADMAP

What ships next.

v1.3 — Dashboard Complete

May–Jun 2026

Policy-oracle event handling, full workflow integration, public npm SDK release

v1.x — Backend Services

Jun–Jul 2026

Indexing, distribution orchestration, reporting, expanded policy tooling

v2.0 — Managed Service

Q3 2026

SaaS hosted backend, enterprise tier, security audit, pilot with 2-3 RWA issuers

Next up: complete the dashboard v1.0 with full workflow integration and policy-oracle event handling (auto freeze/thaw on FAMP events). Then backend services for indexing, distribution orchestration, and reporting. By Q3, we'll have a managed SaaS tier with enterprise controls, a third-party security audit of FAMP, and pilot issuers on devnet. The SDK will have a public npm release with full developer documentation.
BUSINESS MODEL

Open-source SDK. Paid platform.

Revenue Streams

Managed Service (SaaS)

Indexing, distribution orchestration, reporting

Tiered

Enterprise Tier

Custom compliance, SLA, white-label dashboard

Custom

SDK — Open Source

Apache-2.0 licensed. Drives platform adoption

Free

Projections

Metric Month 3 Month 12
SDK downloads/wk 1,000 20,000+
Active issuers 10 150+
Managed MRR $5K $100K+
The business model is simple: open-source the SDK to drive adoption, monetize the managed backend service. SaaS tier for standard issuers (indexing, distribution orchestration, reporting). Enterprise tier for institutions needing custom compliance, SLAs, and white-label dashboards. SDK is Apache-2.0 free — it's the acquisition channel for the paid platform.
THE ASK

Win the Hackathon.
Build the future.

Seeking pre-seed / accelerator — amount TBD

Engineering (backend + dashboard) 60%
Security audit (FAMP + SDK) 15%
Infrastructure + ecosystem 25%

Milestone: Complete dashboard v1.0, public SDK release, first pilot issuer

For hackathon judges: we're asking for the win — this project demonstrates a complete, working integration with canonical SSTS that no one else has built. For accelerator/VC: we're seeking pre-seed funding to complete the dashboard, release the SDK publicly, and onboard our first pilot issuers. The ask amount is intentionally open — we want to find the right partner first, then size the round to match.

TokenForge

We don't compete with the standard. We make it usable.

Thank you. We're building the tooling layer that makes SSTS accessible to every issuer on Solana. Happy to demo live or walk through the SDK code.
