# Custody Approval Workflow for Token Issuance

The **Custody Approval Workflow for Token Issuance** is a GLIK AI template designed to coordinate the internal approval process required before triggering custody operations for asset issuance — whether for tokenized securities, on-chain gold, or other regulated RWAs.

This template supports **multi-departmental sign-off**, integrates with **document repositories and risk checks**, and can optionally trigger a smart contract or REST-based custody API once final clearance is granted.

If all approve, the flow proceeds; otherwise, it routes to an Escalation Reviewer. The final block compiles all decisions and metadata into a structured approval log for downstream issuance or audit.</p></figcaption></figure>

## Use Case Context

Many asset managers, tokenization teams, and legal/compliance departments must complete several steps before releasing control to a qualified custodian. These steps often include:

* Verifying investor accreditation status
* Collecting and validating required legal documents
* Approving asset eligibility under specific regulatory regimes
* Confirming readiness from compliance, finance, and product teams
* Logging internal consent from legal counsel or regulatory affairs

This template orchestrates these steps into a **structured, auditable approval chain** — streamlining internal coordination and reducing issuance risk.
