# Investor & Buyback Settings

#### 1. Investment Parameters

* **Maximum Token per User:** Specify the maximum number of tokens a single investor can hold. This helps ensure wider distribution and prevent concentration of ownership.
* **KYC Requirement:** Decide whether investors need to complete a Know Your Customer (KYC) process before purchasing your tokens. This is often required for regulatory compliance.
* **Investor Jurisdiction (optional):** Define the geographical areas where your token can be sold. By default, all countries are included. The include/exclude functionality for investor jurisdiction allows you to define specific geographical areas where your token can be sold or restricted.
  * **Include Functionality:**
    * Allows you to specify countries or regions where your token can be sold.
    * This creates a "whitelist" of approved jurisdictions for potential investors.
    * Useful for targeting specific markets or complying with regulations in certain countries .
  * **Exclude Functionality:**
    * Enables you to list countries or regions where your token cannot be sold.
    * Creates a "blacklist" of restricted jurisdictions.
    * Helps in avoiding legal issues in countries with strict regulations on token sales.
* #### Accreditation Configuration for Investors

  Admins can further refine investor eligibility by enabling accreditation requirements for specific countries. This feature ensures only accredited investors from selected jurisdictions can purchase the token. To configure accreditation:

* **Enable Accreditation Toggle:**
  * In the investor jurisdiction section, enable the accreditation toggle box to activate this feature.
* **Select Countries:**
  * Choose the countries where accreditation will be required for investors.
* **Add Accreditation Criteria:**
  * Define the specific accreditation criteria for each selected country. This may include income thresholds, net worth requirements, or other relevant qualifications.
  * Admins can configure multiple countries with unique accreditation criteria as needed.

Once accreditation is enabled for a country, only investors who meet the specified criteria and provide the necessary proof can proceed with purchasing the token.

#### 2. Trading Rules

* **Secondary Trading:** Determine if your tokens can be traded on secondary markets after the initial offering. This affects the liquidity of your token.
* **Minimum Hold-in Period (optional):** Set a minimum time (in days) that investors must hold their tokens before selling or trading. This can help stabilize the token's value in its early stages.

#### 3. Buyback Settings

Buyback configurations provide a mechanism for investors to request the repurchase of their tokens at the current token price. This feature is particularly useful for maintaining token liquidity, offering an exit strategy for investors, and ensuring market stability. It also demonstrates the issuer's commitment to providing flexibility and value to investors.

Admins can enable the buyback feature and set specific parameters to manage the process efficiently. The following configurations can be defined:

1. **Enable Buyback:**
   * Admins can toggle the buyback feature on or off, based on their operational needs.
2. **Minimum Buyback Amount:**
   * Specify the minimum amount that can be requested for buyback in a single transaction.
3. **Maximum Buyback Amount per Request:**
   * Define the upper limit for the buyback amount that an investor can request for buyback in a single transaction.
4. **Token Burn Option:**
   * Admins can choose whether the tokens bought back will be burnt or returned to the investor's wallet:
     * **If Burn is Enabled:** Once the buyback request is approved, the tokens will be irreversibly destroyed, reducing the total supply and potentially increasing the token's value.
     * **If Burn is Disabled:** The tokens will be transferred back to the investor's wallet after the buyback request is approved.

This configuration ensures a transparent and controlled process for handling token buybacks, offering both issuers and investors a structured approach to managing liquidity and token circulation.

*Remember, these attributes will significantly impact how your token operates and is perceived by potential investors. Consider each carefully and consult with legal and financial advisors if necessary to ensure compliance with relevant regulations.*
