A lot of Hedera users never start on our homepage. They start on HashScan: a token id from a wallet, HashPack, or a dApp list. That page is the public HTS record. If it looks empty, people assume a test mint. If it has a proper name, metadata, and a way back to Cask Capital, it looks like a real listing.
This post is how to read that page. It is not investment advice and it will not tell you how many units are left. Remaining units and checkout are on the app, after 18+.
HashScan in one minute
HashScan is Hedera’s block explorer. Paste a token id like 0.0.… and you see name, symbol, type, supply, treasury, and NFT serials.
Cask Capital uses Hedera Token Service. One listed cask = one NFT collection. One fractional unit = one serial in that collection. After mint, that serial is the on-chain ownership record. If you pay by card, the unit can sit in platform custody until you connect a wallet (often HashPack) and claim it.
Payments: USDC on Hedera, or card via Stripe. Card fees show at checkout.
Example: Staiosha
Use Staiosha as a concrete walkthrough (whisky people usually write the make as Staoisha; peated Bunnahabhain-related fill). Confirm live remaining units on the app, not here.
- Fill: 16 January 2025
- Cask: ex-Laphroaig quarter cask
- ABV: 69.3%
- Price: 169 USDC per fractional unit
- HTS token:
0.0.10443090(HashScan) - On-chain name: Staiosha Cask
- Symbol:
CASK-9332
Open the Staiosha listing (18+).
Spelling note and the distillery’s own whole-cask programme (a different product): Staiosha (Staoisha) on Hedera.
Reading the token page
Start with name and symbol. Casks are usually {Producer} Cask with a CASK- symbol. Wine is usually producer, varietal, and vintage. If that does not match the listing title, compare token ids. Do not trust a random Google snippet.
Type and supply. These are non-fungible collections with a max supply. Max supply is how many fractional units were created at mint. Total supply is how many serials exist so far. Neither number is “how many are still for sale on the app.”
Treasury. New serials come from the Cask Capital treasury, then move on purchase or claim when a wallet is connected.
Serials. Open a serial. When metadata is pinned you get HIP-412 JSON on IPFS (image, description, attributes like fill and ABV, plus an external_url back to us). Plain text and no image usually means the picture is not pinned yet. The token id and name are still the chain record.
Memo. Some newer tokens include a short memo to www.caskcapital.io. Older ones may leave it blank. Blank is not proof of a fake listing. Match the token id to the catalog or the app.
You should not expect a public HCS attestation feed on every listing. Custody events, when written, are separate. Token page + listing is enough to start.
Three places, different jobs
- HashScan: chain record (token id, name, serials)
- www marketplace catalog: public browse, no login, no age gate, no checkout. HashScan links appear when a real HTS id exists
- app.caskcapital.io: remaining units and purchase (18+)
Copy the token id from HashScan and find the same id on a catalog card or in the app. If something conflicts, trust the token id.
Rum is live on the catalog (Trinidad Distillers is one example). So are whisky, tequila, and wine when those listings are public. A tequila card with no token id yet simply will not show HashScan until first mint.
What HashScan will not do
It will not show the live remaining count on a primary listing, run checkout, or replace how it works, the FAQ, or the risk disclosure.
It also will not make a bonded cask trade like a DEX token. Secondary listing, when enabled, is on the Cask Capital marketplace.
You are looking at fractional ownership of a physical cask, not shares in Cask Capital B.V.
