## <mark style="color:orange;">Minting & Redeeming</mark>

* **Minting and redeeming is Permissioned**\
  The mint and redeem functions are restricted. Only wallets that have been **whitelisted** are able to mint <mark style="color:blue;">**Noon**</mark> Capital assets.
* **Why do we require Whitelisting?**\
  For regulatory and compliance reasons (AML + KYC / KYB), only users that meet specific criteria can be approved.
* **Who can be Whitelisted?**\
  These criteria mean that <mark style="color:blue;">**Noon**</mark> is only able to whitelist institutions at this time.
* **How to Get Whitelisted**\
  If you are interested in primary market access (minting/redeeming) and fit the above criteria, please reach out at **<whitelist@noon.capital>** and our team will guide you through the onboarding process.
* **Capabilities Once Whitelisted**
  * Mint new tokens directly against the underlying assets
  * Redeem tokens back for settlement at 1:1
