MiCA whitepaper filing, self-serve
File a MiCA-compliant whitepaper in days, not months.
At roughly 5% of the legal quote. Tokenpaper takes your crypto-asset offering from a blank page to a filing-ready whitepaper: guided intake, Annex I field mapping, and validated Inline XBRL against the official ESMA MiCA taxonomy. Every field cites its article.
Validated against the official ESMA MiCA taxonomy. Software, not legal advice.
Since December 2025, a MiCA whitepaper is no longer a PDF.
Under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA), an offer to the public of an "other" crypto-asset requires a whitepaper whose content is fixed by Article 6 and Annex I. Since 23 December 2025, ITS (EU) 2024/2984 requires that whitepaper to be filed as a single Inline XBRL (iXBRL) XHTML document tagged against the ESMA MiCA taxonomy.
Article 6 + Annex I content burden
Annex I sets out every mandatory disclosure across the offeror, the token, the offer, the rights, the technology and the sustainability indicators. Miss a field and the whitepaper is not complete.
iXBRL filing burden
The ESMA MiCA taxonomy defines hundreds of existence and value assertions your instance must satisfy. ESMA hands issuers an Excel example; law firms draft the narrative but cannot produce the iXBRL.
The quote gap
Law firms charge upwards of €9,500 for a MiCA whitepaper and still cannot generate the machine-readable filing. The alternative has been doing it yourself against a raw ESMA taxonomy.
How Tokenpaper works
One guided flow from intake to a filing-ready pack. You stay in control of the content; the tool handles the structure, the mapping and the validation.
1. Guided wizard
A structured questionnaire walks the Annex I disclosures for "other" crypto-assets one section at a time. Each question names the article or annex point behind it.
2. Intake and mapping
Answer the questionnaire, or bring an existing draft and we extract the content and map it field-by-field to the Annex I structure for you to confirm.
3. Validated iXBRL
Your confirmed content is assembled into a single Inline XBRL XHTML document and validated against the official ESMA MiCA taxonomy. Assertion failures surface as plain-language fixes.
4. Notification pack
You get the filing-ready iXBRL whitepaper plus a notification pack keyed to your home NCA (FMA, BaFin and more), ready for the Article 8 notification. You file; you stay the issuer.
Why you can trust the output
Validated against the official ESMA taxonomy
Every generated whitepaper is checked against the official ESMA MiCA XBRL taxonomy — the same existence and value assertions the NCAs and ESMA run on ingestion.
Every field cites its article
The field map traces each disclosure to its point in Annex I and Article 6. The legal content behind the tool is maintained as an atomic, source-referenced knowledge base.
Software, not legal advice
Tokenpaper structures, maps and validates. Civil liability for the whitepaper content stays with the issuer under Article 15 MiCA — the tool never assumes it. Optional partner-lawyer review is available as a referral.

Frequently asked questions
Does Tokenpaper make my whitepaper legally correct?
No. Tokenpaper validates your whitepaper against the official ESMA MiCA taxonomy and maps every field to its article, so the output is filing-ready and structurally complete. It does not provide legal advice, and no tool can promise a legally correct outcome. Under Article 15 MiCA, liability for the whitepaper content stays with the issuer.
Which crypto-assets does Tokenpaper cover?
At launch, Tokenpaper covers "other" crypto-assets — utility, governance and platform tokens under Title II of MiCA. It does not cover asset-referenced tokens (ART) or e-money tokens (EMT), which fall under Title III/IV and a separate, stricter regime.
What exactly do I receive?
A filing-ready whitepaper as a single Inline XBRL (iXBRL) XHTML document validated against the ESMA MiCA taxonomy, plus a notification pack keyed to your home national competent authority for the Article 8 notification. You submit it yourself; you remain the issuer and filer.
Does ESMA or an authority pre-approve the whitepaper?
No. For "other" crypto-assets, neither ESMA nor any national competent authority pre-approves a MiCA whitepaper. You notify your home NCA at least 20 working days before publication under Article 8, then publish. Tokenpaper produces the notification-ready file; the pre-approval question does not arise because none exists in this regime.
Do I need an LEI?
Yes. A valid Legal Entity Identifier for the offeror is a tagged field in the ESMA taxonomy, so a valid iXBRL instance cannot be produced without one. If you do not have an LEI yet, you will need to obtain one before filing.
