Frequently Asked Questions
A Leondrino is a type of digital, tokenized currency that is issued by companies or groups of companies as part of a standardized life cycle process. After an initial establishment of a Leondrino currency as a means of payment, the advantages of money supply control (comparable to central bank money) and the technological advantages of digital currencies based on blockchain technology (also known as distributed ledger technology) are fully utilized in the mature phases of the life cycle of a corporate currency.
The main added values of corporate currencies from the issuer’s point of view include:
- Increased efficiency of customer loyalty management through the convergence of payment and loyalty management
- Optimization of global cash management
- Increased automation of payment for service processes
- Micro-payment and M2M at low transaction costs and short-term settlement
- Use of current payment data from corporate currencies for “grounding” to improve the quality of AI-based assistants, for example for predictive modeling
These measures are intended to create currencies that
- have a manageable volatility,
- are accepted as a means of payment in the ecosystem of a brand, and
- can be used globally for products under a brand umbrella.
The most important characteristics for creating a stable value of Leondrino in relation to the value of the publisher’s products are the publisher’s obligation to accept products and services and the fractional reserve policy, in particular for tokens of the top token class A.
All major elements that lead to a high level of trust in the Leondrino ecosystem are described in the ‘Governance’ section under the menu item ‘Leondrino Standard’.
The legal entity behind the Leondrino licensee of the issuing brand is taking care of the issuance and administration of Leondrino throughout their full lifecycle – from Leondrino token class E to A. In Germany, this is Leondra GmbH.
The Leondrino licensee is guided by the monetary policy previously agreed with the brand and the guidelines for Leondrino licensees, which are part of the contractual relationship with the brand. During the initial token sale phases, the price per token is set by the brand company and increases gradually. Tokens cannot be sold to other market participants before the start of the restricted trade (usually before the end of token class C). To avoid extreme volatility and to protect the respective brand name, Leondrino limits the supply of additional Leondrino according to transparent rules (monetary policy).
Those rules are influenced, for instance, by
- the number of a brand’s registered consumers
- a brand’s IP position, past revenue, and future revenue projection
- and the transaction volume in the respective currency
Leondrino is in close consultation with the relevant regulators and authorities and will apply for all necessary licenses in the respective jurisdictions in which it offers its Leondrino services.
Specifically, Leondrino Germany is preparing to apply for a license as a crypto asset service provider under the MiCA regulation to be able to offer Leondrino services for token classes B and A in the EU.
Professional investors are looking for a return on investment, i.e. to participate in the success of a brand, without necessarily getting involved in detail with the sometimes very complex corporate structures, business models and revenue streams of brands.
The main advantages for professional investors include:
- a new asset class of digital currencies secured by intellectual property and licenses and backed by the current and future business of a brand.
- a solid environment for investment strategies through a reliable monetary policy via Leondrino, applying highly transparent rules and without political influence.
- attractive returns (especially during early engagement) and stable value measured by the products and services of a brand’s ecosystem.
In general, a brand currency – like a fiat currency issued by a sovereign central bank – is subject to life cycle management. This life cycleis determined by the performance of the brand company associated with the currency, strict adherence to the monetary policy of the responsible issuer, and acceptance by consumers and investors.
In contrast to the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, whose maximum quantity is absolutely limited, Leondrino is pursuing a dynamic monetary policy defined by the number of the brand’s respective consumer base, business dynamics, and transactions for the highest token class A. The goal is to minimize volatility. As part of the approach, part of the fiat currency raised at ILO will be kept as a reserve. The expansion of the money supply and the buyback in the event of a price decline are controlled by software within certain limits. In the event of larger fluctuations, intervention by trained specialists on behalf of the Monetary Board of a corporate currency is envisaged.
If a brand ceases to exist, the associated currency will be taken from the market, once all collateral of this branded token has been liquidated and the proceeds from this collateral and the remaining excess cash reserves in fiat currency for the control of the money supply have been returned to the then remaining holders of the brand currency.
A brand currency is also delisted from Leondrino via a comparable process if both the reference value to a fiat currency (e.g. US dollar or euro) and the trading volume for this brand currency fall below a defined minimum value for a longer period of time.

KYC is the abbreviation of Know Your Customer/Know Your Client. Due to anti-money laundering and counter terroris financing regulations, we are required to perform a KYC check for all Leondrino users who want to use and/or invest in branded tokens (Leondrino currencies).
The Leondrino team and the brand companies behind the Leondrino currencies need to check each investor’s identity to ensure that we comply with anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing regulations.
Depending on the token class of the token and the amount of tokens you wish to purchase as well as how you want to use the branded tokens (for paying for goods and services or as a pure investment), you must provide certain required information during your KYC check.
During a KYC Light check, you need to provide your full name and address details as well as your phone number and date of birth. You can do so by filling your data in the Leondrino Profile page of your Leondrino user account.
During a KYC ID check, you need to provide a valid government-issued ID in addition to the data requested during KYC Light check. Your government-issued ID must not be expired and must have your photograph on it.
In some cases, a KYC Video ID check may be necessary.
If you are a US citizen, you may only participate in a token sale if you provide proof of being a so-called Accredited Private Investor, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D issued under the Securities Act of 1933. To prove this, it is sufficient to fill out the form provided in the KYC process, namely ACCREDITED INVESTOR CERTIFICATION, and sign it, let your own tax adviser confirm it and then upload this document within your Leondrino Wallet. Done.
