description Natively tokenized private securities on Ethereum, anchored in each issuer's governing law — and how to use the apps built on them.

Welcome to cyberCORPs

cyberCORPs is MetaLeX's smart-contract protocol for turning a legal entity (a Delaware C-corp or LLC, a Cayman LLC or SPC, a BVI fund, an English company, or any analogous structure) into an onchain entity that issues legally constitutive digital securities, maintains its register of holders, conducts fundraising rounds, and settles deals through a composable system of contracts.

In a cyberCORP, the blockchain IS the official register — not a pointer to one.

The protocol is entity-type and jurisdiction agnostic. Delaware C-corp stock is the most fully worked-out reference implementation. LLC membership interests, LP interests, segregated-portfolio-company shares, and non-US equity all flow through the same primitives.

Live on Ethereum mainnet, Arbitrum, and Base.

How this documentation is organised

This book has two parts.

Part 1 — Protocol documents the smart contracts (cybercorps-contracts). It follows the Diátaxis framework:

Section When to read it
Tutorials You're new and want to learn by doing. Start here.
How-to Guides You have a specific goal and want a recipe.
Reference You need the dry technical facts (contract APIs, roles, events).
Explanation You want to understand why the protocol is the way it is.

Part 2 — Web App is for people using the cyberCORPs apps — issuers, investors, and token communities. No code, no setup: just what each app does and how to use it.

Guide For
Using the cyberCORPs apps Everyone — start here.
The Mainframe Issuers managing their cyberCORP.
cyberRAISE Issuers raising capital; investors funding rounds.
ACE Token communities converting to equity; investors.
LeXcheX Anyone who needs to prove accredited-investor status.
MetaDAO Participants in futarchy-governed entities.

The two-minute version

  1. A cyberCORP is an onchain entity whose constitutional documents designate the onchain contract system as the entity's official register of holders.
  2. A cyberCERT (ERC-721) is a Ledger Entry Token — a single entry on that register.
  3. A cyberSCRIP (ERC-20) is the fungible form of that same security, minted from a cyberCERT and convertible back.
  4. A growing application stack runs on this single contract suite — cyberRAISE, cyberTRADE, ACE, LiquiLeX, cyberSign — all surfaced through the cyberCORPs Mainframe. Part 2 explains how to use them.
