FAQs
What is Urano Ecosystem?
Urano is a Web3-native infrastructure for the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWAs). It provides a structured framework that transforms eligible assets, such as real estate, intellectual property, artwork, business structures, and other alternative assets, into digital representations called uShares. Through a combination of legal structuring, on-chain technology, and modular product design, Urano enables secure, transparent, and accessible interaction with tokenized opportunities.
What network is Urano built on?
Urano is built entirely on Arbitrum, an Ethereum Layer 2 that combines Ethereum-grade security with low transaction costs, high scalability, and full EVM compatibility.
This enables fast and cost-efficient execution for tokenization workflows, staking, governance, and potential secondary-market interactions, while ensuring interoperability across the Arbitrum ecosystem.
What are uShares?
A uShare is an ERC-20 token representing a fractional unit of a tokenized Real World Asset opportunity within the Urano Ecosystem. Through uShares, users can take part in a fractionalized real-world asset structure, following its economic setup and lifecycle directly on-chain through transparent and auditable records.
How does the tokenization process work on Urano?
The tokenization workflow follows a standardized and legally aligned process. Opportunities may originate either from issuers applying through uStation or from privately structured agreements coordinated by Urano.
In both cases, the process includes:
Submission and mandatory KYC/KYB for issuers
Due diligence and eligibility assessment (legal, operational, and economic)
Definition of the tokenization structure, including uShare supply, lifecycle parameters, and economic model
On-chain deployment and listing on the uApp
User participation after completing identity verification (KYC)
Lifecycle updates and maturity or settlement according to the defined structure
This dual-entry model ensures transparency, compliance, and consistency across all tokenized opportunities.
What is the uApp and what can I do with it?
The uApp is the primary on-chain interaction layer of the Urano Ecosystem, allowing eligible users to access and interact with all core modules in one place.
Through the uApp, users can:
browse tokenized RWA opportunities
purchase and manage uShares
monitor lifecycle updates and portfolio information
participate in governance
stake $URANO
interact with uAssistant
submit or review issuer applications through uStation
engage with ecosystem participation programs
The uApp functions as the operational hub of the ecosystem.
What is the $URANO token?
$URANO is the native utility token of the Urano Ecosystem, designed to enable access, coordination, and participation across the platform.
Its primary functions include:
priority access windows for selected tokenized offerings
governance participation through staking
functional benefits linked to ecosystem engagement
interaction with internal ecosystem modules
$URANO is not a financial instrument and does not grant profit-sharing rights, passive income, or claims over underlying assets.
How does $URANO staking work?
$URANO staking allows users to lock tokens in a dedicated smart contract to access functional utilities and allocation-based rewards distributed from a predefined staking pool.
Staked users may benefit from:
priority access windows for selected uShare offerings
enhanced participation weighting within ecosystem programs
governance voting power
reward distributions derived from the staking allocation
Staking rewards are limited, non-guaranteed, and not linked to asset performance, financial returns, or profit-sharing.
What is the Ecosystem Rewards Pool?
The Ecosystem Rewards Pool is an engagement-based incentive system that distributes rewards to users who actively participate in the Urano Ecosystem.
Rewards are determined through measurable, rules-based criteria such as platform activity, staking participation weight, task completion, and validated community interactions.
The pool is not connected to revenue sharing and does not grant financial rights over tokenized assets.
What is uStation and who can use it?
uStation is the onboarding module for individuals and businesses seeking to tokenize eligible real-world assets within the Urano Ecosystem.
Issuers must complete identity verification (KYC/KYB), provide required documentation, and undergo due-diligence review. Urano evaluates eligibility, defines the appropriate structure, and guides issuers through the technical and operational steps needed to publish their opportunity on-chain.
How does uAssistant work?
uAssistant is Urano’s AI agent that converts natural-language commands into supported ecosystem actions.
It can:
execute eligible operations (such as staking or governance voting)
retrieve user or platform information
provide guidance on ecosystem features
All blockchain interactions require explicit wallet confirmation, ensuring a non-custodial interaction model.
Who can access Urano?
Urano is available to eligible individuals and entities that complete the required KYC/KYB verification and are not located in restricted jurisdictions.
Access to specific modules may vary based on applicable regulatory requirements.
How is Urano regulated?
Urano Ecosystem Sp. z o.o. is a registered Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in Poland (registration no. RDWW-746) and operates under the MiCA grandfathering regime while progressing toward full CASP authorization.
The platform operates strictly within the crypto-asset perimeter and does not issue financial instruments.
Urano applies KYC/AML requirements through audited providers such as Persona and follows legal guidance from Thompson & Stein to ensure alignment with EU regulatory standards.
What risks should I consider?
Interacting with blockchain-based platforms and tokenized products involves certain risks, including:
Market risk: values associated with digital representations may vary over time
Operational risk: technical, asset-related, or external factors may affect specific modules
Accessibility risk: feature availability may depend on eligibility, jurisdiction, or technical constraints
Regulatory risk: regulatory requirements may evolve over time
Users should carefully review each opportunity and its applicable conditions.
How do I get started?
Start the onboarding process
Complete identity verification
Connect a supported Web3 wallet
Browse available opportunities and interact with the ecosystem
Is $URANO a utility token?
In functional terms, $URANO is commonly described as a utility token because it enables operational features within the ecosystem.
For regulatory purposes under MiCA, $URANO is classified as an “Other Crypto-Asset” pursuant to Article 3(1)(5) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114.
This distinction reflects the difference between functional descriptions used in Docs and the legal classification applied in the MiCA crypto-asset white paper.
What does MiCA mean by “utility token”?
Under Article 3(1)(9) MiCA, a utility token is a crypto-asset intended exclusively to provide access to a specific good or service provided by the issuer.
This definition generally applies to exclusive access or prepaid right models, where the token is the sole and necessary means to obtain a specific good or service from the issuer.
Why does $URANO not qualify as a MiCA utility token?
$URANO does not meet the cumulative requirements of Article 3(1)(9) because:
holding or staking $URANO is not mandatory to access the ecosystem
it does not function as a voucher or prepaid right
governance and staking are protocol mechanisms, not issuer-provided services
priority access features are time-limited and non-guaranteed, and do not represent a mandatory condition to access tokenized opportunities
For these reasons, $URANO is classified as an Other Crypto-Asset under MiCA.
Is there a contradiction between the Docs and the MiCA white paper?
No. The Docs explain functional usage in user-friendly language, while the MiCA white paper applies strict legal classifications as required by EU regulation.
This approach ensures clarity for users and full regulatory compliance.
Could $URANO be classified differently in the future?
Only if the protocol design were to change substantially—for example, if holding $URANO became the sole and mandatory means to access a specific issuer-provided service.
At present, this is not the case.
