TAIPEI, Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Unitas, a DeFi stablecoin protocol addressing emerging markets’ dollar shortage issues in transactions and cross-border payments, has successfully upgraded its smart contract to the second stage. Prior to deployment, the smart contract was audited by ChainLight, a trusted Korea-based security firm under Theori with expertise in both Web2 and Web3 domains.

As a result, there is no high or critical issues found in Unitas Protocol, and 3 medium and 3 informational issues identified by ChainLight were fixed by the Unitas team. The full audit report is available on the Unitas Foundation website.

“The Unitas team demonstrated a high level of preparedness for the audit, with comprehensive documentation and robust testing procedures in place. We also enjoyed auditing the Unitas protocol because the concept itself was innovative,” said Brian Pak, CEO & Co-Founder of ChainLight. “It is important to note that potential risks may arise from macroeconomic factors or flaws in the source code, which require continued monitoring and management.”

Unitas Protocol mainnet was live on 31 July 2023 and before that, the testnet was launched after completing smart contract security audits by Sherlock. “Security and stability of the smart contract are the top priorities of Unitas,” said Sun Huang, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Unitas Foundation. “To ensure the best quality of Unitas protocol, each stage of the smart contract must undergo independent, multiple, and varied audits by different external third parties.”

In the first phase, Unitas protocol allows anyone to mint unitized stablecoins with USDT. It “unitizes” a USD stablecoin (e.g., USDT) into one local currency unit. The first unitized stablecoins open to minting are USD91 (INR-pegged), USD971 (AED-pegged), USD84 (VND-pegged), and USD1 (USD-pegged).

The first phase is focused on user engagement and application. The second phase, set for launch in September, centers on the role of Insurance Providers (IPs), who lend their USD stablecoins to the protocol to support its over-collateralization, a process known as “IP staking”. With the participation of IPs, including auctions, profit sharing, and 4REX token issuance, the Unitas protocol will operate independently and organically. For more details, please refer to the whitepaper.

Unitas Protocol is built for real-world stablecoin applications, solving USD liquidity issues in developing countries like India and Vietnam. Unitas Foundation will co-host the second edition of the Stablecoin Summit with the blockchain-enabled financial institution XREX Group on 20 September this year at Andaz Singapore.

New tender offer capabilities connect equity management with real-time valuation data covering approximately 65,000 private companies with a combined estimated value of $9 trillion, laying the groundwork for future secondary marketplace capabilities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eqvista, a leading equity management and valuation platform serving more than 25,000 companies, today announced the launch of company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, enabling private companies to organize structured liquidity events directly within their equity management platform. The launch also marks a step toward Eqvista’s planned secondary marketplace capabilities.

As companies stay private longer, employees and early investors face limited opportunities to sell their shares. Meanwhile, organizing liquidity events involves complex decisions around pricing, participant eligibility, approvals, and ownership changes.

Eqvista brings these processes together through a company-controlled tender offer workflow, supported by its equity management infrastructure and Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® technology.

“With Eqvista, private companies can help their employees and early investors turn their shares into cash, rewarding them for their contributions to the company,” said Tomas Milar, Founder and CEO of Eqvista. “We already help companies manage ownership and understand their value. Bringing tender offers into the same platform is a natural next step toward connecting equity management, valuation, and liquidity.”

Company-Controlled Tender Offers

Eqvista’s new capabilities allow companies to manage tender offers while maintaining control over participation, transaction terms, and ownership changes.

Key features include:

Cap table integration: Automatically record completed ownership changes.Participant controls: Define eligible buyers and sellers and offer windows.Allocation rules: Set transaction limits, pro rata allocations, and priorities.Integrated approvals: Manage approval requirements and rights of first refusal.Valuation-informed pricing: Reference Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® data when evaluating transaction pricing.

By integrating these processes, Eqvista aims to reduce the administrative complexity of organizing liquidity events while helping companies maintain control over their shareholder base.

Building Toward a Secondary Marketplace

Building on its company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, Eqvista plans to expand into secondary marketplace infrastructure designed to support structured, company-approved liquidity programs. By connecting ownership records, real-time valuation data, and private share transactions within one platform, Eqvista aims to make private market liquidity more accessible while allowing companies to maintain control over participation and ownership changes. Further details will be announced as development progresses, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
