ETHE, issued by Dinari, Inc., is a tokenized stock (a dShare) that tracks the economic performance of Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF, a U.S.-listed equity acquired and held to back the token 1:1 [S1][S2].

ETHE gives the tokenholder economic exposure to Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF (ETHE), mirroring its market price with stock splits reflected automatically on the token balance [S2]. If the underlying issues a dividend and eligibility requirements are met, distributions are paid in USD+ or other stablecoins to verified wallets, net of a 5% standard dividend fee [S2][S3][S4]. Issuance orders bear a fee of $1 plus 0.25% to 0.50% on Ethereum, or $0.20 plus 0.25% to 0.50% on Layer 2 networks, plus network fees [S4].

Dinari, Inc. is a U.S. company registered with the SEC as a transfer agent under Section 17A(c) [S5][S6]. Each dShare is a token backed 1:1 by the underlying security, conferring economic shareholder rights including dividends but not voting rights [S1][S2]. Backing securities are acquired and held in a third-party custodial brokerage account at Dinari's broker partner Alpaca, separate from the token layer [S1][S2][S7]. dShares are offered under Regulation S, are not available to U.S. persons, and may only be issued or redeemed from KYC-verified wallets across 85+ jurisdictions, subject to AML screening and an excluded-countries list [S2][S8]. Holders may exit at the underlying's market price [S2].

dShares are issued as ERC-20 tokens with compliance and transfer-restriction features [S9]. Supported networks include Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, Hyperliquid, and Plume [S9]. Issuance escrows funds onchain and routes the order to Alpaca; on a confirmed fill the tokens are minted, and redemption escrows tokens, fills the order, and burns them, keeping the 1:1 ratio synchronized to completed brokerage orders [S1][S7].

# Asset mints methodology

## 1. Overview

Asset mints is a metric that represents the total value of new assets minted onchain. Daily mint volumes are tracked across supported blockchains to quantify the issuance of tokenized assets. Gross mint events are identified from native token transfer logs and transaction-level supply changes. To ensure accuracy for assets with pre-minted supplies, corrections are applied by subtracting non-circulating allocations. The final metric is normalized by decimal precision and converted to USD using end-of-day price feeds.

## 2. Data sources

- **EVM chain events**: ERC-20 `Transfer` events, covering EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Optimism, and others)
- **Solana instructions**: SPL token `Mint` instructions
- **Non-EVM chain events and transactions**:
 - Algorand: Asset Configuration (`acfg`) transactions and token transfers
 - Cardano: UTXO-derived mint and burn events
 - Near: Token mint events
 - Polkadot Asset Hub: `Issued` events from `assets` pallets
 - Ripple: Transaction-level issuer net flows
 - Stacks: Token transfers with null senders
 - Sui: `TreasuryCap` object total supply changes
 - Stellar: SEP-41 `sep41_mint` events

- **Asset metadata**: Token addresses and decimal precision retrieved from token metadata
- **External data**: End-of-day price feeds sourced from market data providers

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Gross mint extraction

- **Purpose**: Extract raw mint events across all supported blockchains
- **Logic**: On EVM-compatible chains, ERC-20 `Transfer` events are parsed where the sender address is the zero address. On Solana, SPL token `Mint` instructions are extracted. On Algorand, withdrawals from asset configuration addresses are identified as gross mints. On Cardano, positive supply deltas are derived from transaction UTXO inputs and outputs. On Near, token mint events are extracted. On Polkadot Asset Hub, `Issued` events from `assets` pallets are parsed. On Ripple, transaction-level net flows are calculated, and positive net flows from issuer accounts are classified as mints. On Stacks, token transfers with a null sender address are extracted. On Sui, total supply changes are decoded from `TreasuryCap` objects. On Stellar, SEP-41 `sep41_mint` events are parsed.
- **Key fields**: `amount` (raw token quantity), `token_address` (asset contract or token identifier), `timestamp` (block timestamp)

### Component B: Premint correction

- **Purpose**: Adjust gross mints to exclude pre-minted tokens that do not enter active circulation
- **Logic**: For supported assets, a correction is applied to distinguish between gross mints and circulating supply changes. Mints that are sent directly to designated non-circulating premint addresses are classified as premints. Conversely, transfers from these premint addresses to circulating addresses are classified as premint issuances. Corrected mints are calculated by subtracting premints from gross mints and adding premint issuances.
- **Key fields**: `amount` (corrected token quantity), `token_address` (asset contract), `account_address` (premint address)

### Component C: Decimal normalization

- **Purpose**: Normalize raw token quantities into standard units
- **Logic**: Raw token amounts are normalized by decimal precision. Decimal precision is retrieved from token metadata for each specific asset.
- **Key fields**: `amount` (normalized token quantity), `decimals` (decimal precision)

### Component D: Final aggregation and USD conversion

- **Purpose**: Aggregate daily normalized mints and convert the values to USD
- **Logic**: Normalized daily mint amounts are aggregated by asset and blockchain. Daily USD values are calculated by multiplying the daily normalized mint amount by the end-of-day price feed for the respective asset. If no mint events occur on a given day, the daily value is filled with zero values.
- **Key fields**: `amount_usd` (daily minted value in USD), `price_usd` (end-of-day asset price)

Tokenized stocks

Dinari earns revenue from transaction fees on dShare issuance and redemption, platform fees charged to partner integrators that consume its tokenization API, and the yield spread on the Treasury reserves backing USD+. Its go-to-market is B2B — third-party wallets, brokerages, and fintechs integrate Dinari as an infrastructure layer rather than end users interacting with Dinari directly.

Dinari issues dShares — ERC-20 tokens backed 1:1 by the underlying equity or ETF, held with licensed custodians. Each share is purchased on traditional markets before the corresponding token is minted, so token prices track real market pricing. The catalog covers 150+ tokenized stocks and ETFs (e.g. AAPL, NVDA, TSLA, SPY). Dinari also issues USD+, a Treasury-backed yield-bearing stablecoin. Products are available on Arbitrum, Base, Blast, Ethereum, Avalanche, and Plume.

Dinari is a US-based fintech that operates as an SEC-registered transfer agent, providing infrastructure for tokenizing publicly traded US equities and ETFs as onchain assets called dShares. Rather than serving end users directly, Dinari positions itself as a B2B infrastructure layer used by partner platforms (e.g. Gemini, Cadana, Fasset) to offer tokenized US securities across 80+ countries.

The collateral assets are held by Alpaca Securities LLC in accounts segregated from the issuer's own funds.

Residents of the United States, Canada, jurisdictions under applicable sanctions and other jurisdictions the issuer restricts cannot mint or redeem with Dinari.

Dinari, Inc. is incorporated in the United States and is offered under an SEC Regulation S exemption.

Holder terms are governed by the law of Delaware in the United States.

ETHE has been issued on public blockchains since October 2024 and is native to Arbitrum One, Base, Avalanche, Blast, and Ethereum.
