Licentium is a legal-tech research and execution team for crypto, digital-asset, and AI products. We help teams classify their product, choose the right licence path, prepare filing materials, and keep operations aligned with public rules after launch.

Licentium is a legal-tech research and execution team for crypto, digital-asset, and AI products. We study how a product is built, how users interact with it, where value moves, who keeps control over assets or data, and which public rules apply before launch. The work starts with classification, because the same product idea can fall under different duties depending on custody, transfer rights, client type, marketing, and country of operation.

We turn legal material into product decisions. A founder can use Licentium to understand whether a licence is needed, which market is suitable, which documents must be prepared, and which internal controls should exist before the first user is onboarded. The same process applies after approval: reporting dates, policy updates, regulator questions, incident records, and changes to the product must be tracked with care.

Our work covers exchanges, asset-backed token projects, token issuers, and AI teams. For crypto products, we review activity type, custody model, token function, client access, capital needs, insurance duties, and filing routes. For AI products, we review risk class, data quality, model change records, user notices, human review, testing evidence, and post-release monitoring. The goal is not to produce legal theory. The goal is to make a product safe to submit, launch, and operate. Licentium combines legal analysis, licensing practice, and structured machine reasoning. We build tools that ask the right questions, connect answers to legal duties, and produce regulator-ready materials. The team works with founders, lawyers, compliance officers, and product leads who need clear decisions before they spend time on market, licence, or product design.
