SPY, issued by Dinari, Inc., is a tokenized stock (a dShare) that tracks the economic performance of State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF, a U.S.-listed equity acquired and held to back the token 1:1 [S1][S2].

SPY gives the tokenholder economic exposure to State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), 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 redemptions methodology

## 1. Overview

The total value of tokenized assets that are burned or returned to issuer-controlled addresses in exchange for offchain collateral assets is measured by the asset redemptions metric. User demand to exit asset positions and reclaim backing collateral is reflected by this metric. Daily redemption volumes are aggregated across all supported blockchains and converted to USD using end-of-day price feeds. A comprehensive view of capital outflows from tokenized assets is provided by this metric.

## 2. Data sources

- **EVM chain events**: ERC-20 token transfers, covering EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Optimism, and others)
- **Solana instructions**: SPL token burn instructions and balance changes
- **Non-EVM chain events**: Native token burn events, transaction net flows, and asset pallet events covering Algorand, Cardano, Injective, Near, Polkadot Asset Hub, Ripple, Stacks, Stellar, and Sui
- **Asset metadata**: Token addresses and decimal precision
- **External data**: End-of-day price feeds

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Extract raw redemption and burn events

- **Purpose**: Token destruction or return to issuer custody across all supported blockchains is identified.
- **Logic**: On EVM-compatible chains, ERC-20 `Transfer` events are parsed where the recipient is the zero address or the dead address. On Solana, SPL token `Burn` instructions are parsed. On Algorand, token transfers to non-circulating configuration addresses (such as creator or reserve addresses) are extracted. On Cardano, negative token deltas are derived from transaction outputs and inputs. On Injective, token transfers with a burn event type are selected. On Near, token burn events are extracted. On Polkadot Asset Hub, `Burned` events from the assets pallet are parsed. On Ripple, transaction net flows that result in issuer inflows are identified. On Stacks, token transfers where the recipient address is null are parsed. On Stellar, SEP-41 `sep41_burn` events are extracted. On Sui, negative deltas are derived from total supply changes of treasury control objects.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (event time), `token_address` (asset contract address), `amount` (raw quantity)

### Component B: Apply premint corrections

- **Purpose**: Raw burn volumes are adjusted to exclude non-circulating token movements and include circulation exits.
- **Logic**: For supported assets, raw burn volumes are adjusted by subtracting preburns and adding premint redemptions. Preburns, which represent tokens burned directly from issuer-controlled premint addresses without ever entering circulation, are subtracted from the total. Premint redemptions, which represent transfers from circulating addresses back into premint addresses, are added to the total as they represent assets exiting active circulation.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (event time), `token_address` (asset contract address), `amount` (corrected quantity)

### Component C: Normalization and USD conversion

- **Purpose**: Token quantities are normalized by decimal precision and converted to USD.
- **Logic**: Daily token-denominated redemption amounts are aggregated by timestamp, chain, and token address. These amounts are normalized by decimal precision retrieved from token metadata. The normalized redemption amounts are then multiplied by end-of-day price feeds sourced from market data providers to calculate the final USD-denominated redemption value. If no redemptions occur on a given day, the daily value is filled with zero values.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (day), `chain_id` (blockchain identifier), `token_address` (asset contract address), `amount` (normalized token quantity), `price_usd` (asset price), `value` (USD-denominated redemption value)

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.
