Welcome to the RDE Whitepaper

This document outlines our vision, technology, and business model.

RDE WEB3 is revolutionizing the road freight transport sector by tokenizing large trucks, transforming physical assets (Real World Assets - RWA) into accessible digital fractions. Using Polygon blockchain technology and smart contracts, we democratize access to a market traditionally restricted to large participants, offering transparency, platform usability flexibility, and security.

Our solution addresses historical challenges in the sector, such as high entry costs and lack of transparency. Through our platform and the RDE COIN (RDEC) cryptocurrency, stakeholders can acquire "digital fractions" representing real trucks, receiving distributions based on monthly metrics proportional to the operational performance of these assets.

We connect participants to an essential pillar of the global economy in an innovative and efficient way.

Who We Are

RDE WEB3 is an innovative company focused on integrating the world of physical assets with decentralized digital finance. Our mission is to transform access to digital participation in the road freight transport sector, a vital market for the global economy. We do this through the tokenization of trucks, allowing anyone to participate in the operational results generated by these essential assets.

Our Vision

We aim to create a more inclusive and efficient financial ecosystem where blockchain technology serves as a bridge between real-world assets and digital participation opportunities. We seek to be leaders in the tokenization of transport assets, promoting security, transparency, and new platform usability flexibility possibilities for our stakeholders.

Road freight transport is fundamental to global supply chains, moving most goods in many of the world's largest economies. However, the sector faces significant barriers:

• Restricted Access to Capital: The high cost of acquiring trucks and infrastructure limits participation to large companies and institutional participants, excluding small and medium participants.

• Lack of Platform Usage Flexibility: Digital participation in physical assets like trucks are traditionally illiquid, making it difficult to buy and sell stakes quickly.

• Lack of Transparency: Information about the operational and financial performance of assets can be opaque or difficult to access, undermining participant confidence.

• Operational Inefficiencies: Many operations still lack modern technologies for route optimization, fleet management, and security.

• Complexity and Costs: Asset management, maintenance, insurance, and regulatory compliance add layers of complexity and cost.

RDE WEB3 addresses these challenges through the tokenization of trucks (Real World Assets - RWA):

Asset Tokenization

Each truck acquired by RDE WEB3 is digitally represented on the blockchain as a set of "Digital Fractions". These digital fractions are tokens that represent a fraction of the ownership and economic rights over the physical asset.

Democratization of Access

By dividing the cost of a truck into multiple lower-value digital fractions, we allow participants of all sizes to participate with accessible capital.

Enhanced Transparency

All digital fraction transactions, ownership records, and operational result distributions are immutably recorded on the Polygon blockchain, accessible for verification. Operational performance is monitored and made available to stakeholders via dashboard.

Potential Platform Usage Flexibility

Digital fractions, after an initial staking period, are designed to be tradable in a controlled digital environment (details to be defined), offering an exit option and financial flexibility to stakeholders.

Operational Efficiency

We use technology for real-time monitoring, tracking, and optimized fleet management, seeking to maximize the operational performance of assets.

Our solution is built on a robust technological foundation:

Polygon Blockchain (Ethereum Layer 2)

We chose Polygon for its scalability, low transaction fees, and compatibility with the Ethereum ecosystem, ensuring security and efficiency.

Smart Contracts

Self-executing contracts on the blockchain that manage the issuance and sale of digital fractions, staking, automatic and proportional distribution of monthly operational results, and trading rules. This ensures precise execution of operations and increases transparency.

RDE COIN (RDEC)

Our native cryptocurrency, used exclusively for purchasing digital fractions and receiving distributions within the platform.

RDE WEB3 Platform

A web interface where users can create accounts, connect their digital wallets, acquire RDEC, purchase digital fractions of assets, and monitor their digital participation and metrics-based distribution through a dedicated dashboard.

Tracking and Monitoring Infrastructure

Trucks equipped with GPS, cameras, and sensors for real-time monitoring of operations, security, and performance, with relevant data recorded or referenced on the blockchain (e.g., via hashing) to ensure integrity.

RDE COIN (RDEC) is the transactional pillar of our ecosystem:

• Name: RDE COIN
• Symbol: RDEC
• Blockchain: Polygon
• Standard: ERC-20

Nature

Utility Token. Its acquisition value within the platform is paired 1:1 with stablecoins (USDT/USDC) to facilitate entry and calculation. The metrics-based distributions in RDEC, however, reflect the real operational result generated by the physical assets, and their liquidation value (conversion to stablecoins) depends on operational performance.

Supply

Dynamic. RDEC is issued when stablecoins are exchanged on the platform and potentially burned when converted back, managed by smart contracts to reflect demand and activity in the ecosystem.

Main Utility

• Digital Fractions Acquisition: The only way to purchase digital fractions of tokenized trucks on the RDE WEB3 platform.
• Operational Result Distribution: Monthly metrics-based distributions generated by trucks are distributed to digital fraction holders in RDEC.
• Convertibility: Stakeholders can convert their RDEC received as metrics-based distribution to stablecoins (USDT/USDC) directly on the platform, facilitating platform usage flexibility of operational results.

Our model connects digital participation to physical operation:

1. RDEC Acquisition The stakeholder accesses the RDE WEB3 platform, connects their digital wallet, and exchanges stablecoins (USDT/USDC) for RDEC.

2. Digital Asset Creation RDE WEB3 identifies a truck for acquisition and creates a corresponding "Digital Asset" on the platform, registered on the blockchain. This asset is divided into a predefined number of digital "Digital Fractions".

3. Digital Fractions Sale Digital fractions are offered on the platform for a determined period (e.g., up to 45 days). Stakeholders use RDEC to buy desired digital fractions.

4. Contract Closure and Physical Asset Acquisition If all digital fractions are sold within the timeframe, the Smart Contract is closed. The collected RDEC is used to acquire the physical truck, cover standardization costs (painting, trackers), documentation, insurance, and initial hiring.

5. Asset Operation The truck is put into operation (managed by RDE WEB3 or logistics partners), generating revenue through freight. Management includes maintenance, insurance, driver management, and logistics optimization.

6. Dashboard Monitoring Stakeholders track the financial and operational performance of the asset(s) they invested in through the platform dashboard (billing, expenses, net operational result, operational status).

7. Operational Result Distribution Monthly, the net operational result is distributed to digital fraction holders proportionally to their participation, via Smart Contract, in RDEC, directly to their digital wallets.

8. Staking Period and Secondary Market Acquired digital fractions are locked (staked) for an initial period (e.g., 12 months). After this period, stakeholders will have the option to trade their digital fractions in a controlled digital environment, providing additional platform usage flexibility.
