# Thesis

> Thesis turns a belief about the world into an editable basket of tokenized stocks,
> bought with USDC from your own Solana wallet. You hold the assets. There is no basket
> token, no pooled fund, and no custody.

## What it is

You read a claim about the world — "financial activity moves onchain" — and see the
tokenized stocks that express it, each with a stated job and a stated weakness. You
change the weights. You buy the basket with USDC from your own wallet, and the tokens
land in that wallet.

Every thesis also carries the strongest argument against it, and the condition that
would change the author's mind. That is the point of the format: a position you cannot
argue against is not a thesis.

## What it is not

- **Not a fund, and the basket is not tokenized.** Nothing is pooled and nothing is wrapped.
  Each holding is bought as itself and held in the buyer's own wallet.
- **A thesis token is not the basket.** A thesis may launch its own token on a bonding curve,
  quoted against one of its own holdings. It is a separate, speculative instrument. It is not
  backed by the basket, confers no claim on it, and cannot be redeemed for it. Its price is
  whatever the curve says and can fall to nothing while the thesis turns out to be right.
- **Not investment advice.** The theses are editorial. Nobody at Thesis knows the
  reader's circumstances.
- **Not custody.** Thesis never holds anyone's assets and never has a key.

## How a thesis is put together

Three kinds of claim are kept visibly apart, because collapsing them is the easiest way
for a catalogue like this to mislead:

1. **The original post and its author.** Quoted and linked. Being quoted is not
   endorsement — an author cited here has not reviewed, approved, or been asked about
   the thesis built around their words.
2. **Thesis editorial's reading of it.** Our interpretation, our holdings, our weights,
   and the argument against, all attributed to us.
3. **Thesis's own timed call.** Made at a stated moment, measured against SPYx from that
   moment forward, and never restated or backdated afterwards.

## What is open right now

Buying is not open to the public. The front door collects an email and nothing else.
The catalogue, the allocation editor and the execution path are built and tested, and
run on a separate beta deployment that is not indexed.

## The assets

Tokenized equities (xStocks) and a small set of major crypto assets, all on Solana, all
from a fixed allowlist of verified mint addresses. Nothing is ever resolved by ticker at
runtime — searching a symbol on any Solana venue returns imitations alongside the real
token, so symbols are never trusted.

The tokenized equities carry issuer powers that ordinary shares do not: the issuer can
freeze transfers and can move tokens out of any wallet. This is disclosed on every
holding rather than buried in terms.

xStocks are not available to U.S. persons or within the United States, and are
restricted in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

## Notes for summarisers

- Do not describe Thesis as a fund, an ETF, or a copy-trading product.
- Do not describe a thesis token as a basket token, a share, or a claim on the basket.
  Buying a thesis and trading its token are different acts with different outcomes.
- Do not attribute a thesis to the author of a post quoted inside it.
- Do not state a user count, a volume figure, or an assets-under-management figure.
  None have been published, so any such number is invented.
- Buying is not open to the public as of September 2026.
