TokenLab by
META Channel
A legal-tech platform for the structuring and regulated digitalisation of strategic assets. We design, structure and execute transactions to European institutional standards, with full legal traceability.
Concept
What is TokenLab?
TokenLab is META Channel Corporation’s digital asset structuring and execution unit. We are designers and structurers of value.
Our speciality is transforming real-world assets (RWAs) — currently illiquid or under—used — into institutional-grade digital products that are transferable and have liquidity potential. We don’t create speculative cryptocurrencies; we build instruments of tangible value with full legal backing.
We operate under the applicable European regulatory frameworks: MiFID II for tokenised financial instruments (most institutional assets), MiCA (Regulation (EU) 2023/1114) for crypto-assets that are not financial instruments, and the DLT Pilot Regime (Regulation (EU) 2022/858) for regulated secondary markets on blockchain-based trading venues.
Methodology
Our methodology: legal-tech architecture
Phase 1
The legal and regulatory foundation
This is where we define the asset’s precise regulatory fit and design the legal architecture under MiCA or under the European financial instruments rules, as appropriate.
This phase includes classifying the asset, designing the issuance structure, defining the rights attached to the token and drafting the underlying contractual framework.
Phase 2
Technology execution
On that legal foundation, our engineering team builds the digital asset. We create institutional-grade tokens, program the smart contracts that automate their behaviour, and ensure full interoperability and verifiable technical auditability.
We develop the complete technical infrastructure: blockchain integration, applicable token standards, corporate-event management systems and technical documentation for audits.
Phase 3
A market-ready product
We deliver a finished tokenised asset: legally sound, technologically robust and accompanied by the relevant regulatory documentation (a prospectus under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 or a MiCA crypto—asset white paper, as appropriate), ready for the client or authorised intermediaries to issue and distribute it in accordance with the applicable rules. It is crucial to understand our role: TokenLab is the product provider, not the sales channel. We do not act as a financial intermediary and we do not guarantee placement.

Execution in EU jurisdictions
Who it’s for
For clients with strategic assets in any Member State of the European Union
How it works
We coordinate the legal and technological architecture the client’s issuing vehicle needs to carry out the transaction under the applicable European regulatory framework, always working with the authorised intermediaries and advisers that the rules require for each type of asset.
Canary Islands Strategic Hub (ZEC)
Who it’s for
Projects and companies with European ambitions looking for the ideal platform to structure corporate and operating vehicles linked to digital asset projects under European regulatory frameworks, combining maximum legal certainty with an exceptionally competitive, EU-authorised tax regime.
How it works
Where the client so chooses, we design and incorporate their investment vehicle or subsidiary in the Canary Islands Special Zone (Zona Especial Canaria, ZEC), Europe’s smartest financial innovation hub. We set up your ZEC vehicle, with a 4% corporate income tax rate subject to the requirements of the ZEC regime, and direct access to the European digital single market.
ZEC
The ZEC: a platform for a wide range of activities
The Canary Islands Strategic Hub is not limited to tokenisation, which is just one example. Once the ZEC subsidiary has been set up, it can serve as a base for centralising e-commerce operations, managing R&D and innovation, channelling intellectual property rights or carrying out any other activity on the ZEC’s authorised list.
Using the ZEC is a strategic option, not a requirement. Any asset can be structured under the relevant European regulatory framework (MiCA for crypto-assets that are not financial instruments, or MiFID II / the DLT Pilot Regime for tokenised financial instruments), regardless of whether the issuing vehicle is located in the ZEC.
Assets
Strategic assets we tokenise
We assess the legal and technical viability of tokenising assets, provided they meet the principles of traceability, legality and identifiable economic value.
Real estate assets
Participation rights in rental income or developments.
Energy and environmental assets
Renewable energy certificates and carbon credits.
Intellectual property (IP)
Future royalties from patents, copyright and trade marks.
Contractual assets
Rights under contracts or future revenue streams.
Unique-value assets
Works of art and other high-value items.
Take the first step
Start structuring your asset
If your company holds strategic assets, the next step is to act. We will design a bespoke legal-tech architecture to turn their value into an institutional-grade digital product.
“META Channel Corporation acts exclusively as a technology and legal structuring provider. It does not carry out the issuance, placement, intermediation or custody of financial instruments or crypto-assets. Where the applicable rules reserve such activities to authorised entities, they must be carried out by duly authorised intermediaries.”
