DPT Migration Specific Questions
What does the DPT migration mean?
As announced in December 2023, current DPT token holders will need to migrate to the new compliant Otium (OTM) token. This process started in Q1 2025 and is largely finished now. If you have any outstanding issues, please raise a ticket via our Helpesk. You will have to be signed in for this service. Note that after the migration, the DPT token is unlikely to ever have any value.
What is the Otium (OTM) utility token?
The DPT was envisioned for Desert Pearl project only without offering any wider benefit or access. The new Otium (OTM) utility token is the "gateway utility token" to access all the current and future projects including Desert Pearl, Infinity, Solace and other partner projects. We'll announce project updates as they launch - many take a long time as we navigate regulatory landscape.
NFTs and Digital Safes
What is a digital safe?
One way to use a NFT, that is very important for the DPT Migration project, is the "digital safe" the digital implementation of a vault storing gold or jewelry. This is an NFT (in fact it's a smart contract) that controls some tokens. When you open the digital safe with your private keys, you gain access to the tokens inside the safe.
What happens to my OTM tokens once they have been distributed?
The OTM tokens will be transferred to you in a digital safe NFT. The safe will be locked and you will have the key. Inside the safe, the OTM tokens will be locked for 6 months from the migration date and then will unlock every day over a 36-month period. Technically, everything runs on Polygon blockchain.
Can I withdraw my OTM tokens from the safe?
Once the tokens are unlocked, you'll be able to withdraw them from the safe to your wallet.
When will the OTM token be listed?
We are planning that token holders will be able to use the largest NFT marketplace (OpenSea) to sell both the OTM token and the OTM Digital Safe NFT in the near future.
Using a marketplace like OpenSea means that the price is set by you as the seller agreeing with the buyer, rather than having anonymous traders manipulate the price up or down. When this is ready, we'll share details of how you can do this via the website, messenger apps or via email.
KYC and Compliance
What is KYC and AML?
Know Your Customer (KYC) - These steps are legally required by regulatory authorities. KYC is a set of steps cryptocurrency exchanges take during onboarding to verify customer identity and perform due diligence to understand their financial activities and risks to ensure they comply with global regulations, including anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing laws. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) - Covers the requirements for regulated exchanges to prevent criminals from performing transactions. The goal is to stop illicit funds from entering the legitimate financial system.
When will the KYC process begin?
As part of the migration process, we checked all NFT token holders via Vougee's Zenpass application. Going forward, we'll be introducing our own KYC and may ask you to complete it.
