Summary

08. Characteristics of the crypto-asset
The OFFICIAL TRUMP crypto-asset referred to in this white paper is a crypto-asset other than an EMT or ART. It is natively implemented on the Solana blockchain and is also available on the TRON blockchain, according to the DTI FFG shown in section F.14, as of 2026-06-22. The maximum supply of TRUMP is set at 1,000,000,000 tokens, scheduled for release over three years.
The initial production of the tokens, the so-called “mint”, took place on 2025-01-17 at 14:01:48 UTC (signature: UFec7orzRrt17gDr6NpB1dNGwoKBSHyyEww94KJcZa4gFNYTBH2yWPVZDB4L5Gp4jsrPs9efwxWGdqGai4XKWtG, source: https://solscan.io/tx/UFec7orzRrt17gDr6NpB1dNGwoKBSHyyEww94KJcZa4gFNYTBH2yWPVZDB4L5Gp4jsrPs9efwxWGdqGai4XKWtG, accessed 2026-06-22). The first activity on TRON can be viewed on 2025-07-23 (transaction hash: 46506c8ebd74153d0b1ee78dfd8efcfdc0458914d3b50251f443a1ddd4b3141f, source: https://tronscan.org/transaction/46506c8ebd74153d0b1ee78dfd8efcfdc0458914d3b50251f443a1ddd4b3141f/overview, accessed 2026-06-22).
As outlined on the project’s website (https://gettrumpmemes.com/, accessed 2026-06-22), 200,000,000 tokens were fully unlocked at the date of the initial mint on 2025-01-17. The remaining 800,000,000 tokens were set to be gradually released over the 36 months following the date of the initial mint. According to statements made on the aforementioned website, CIC Digital LLC, an affiliate of The Trump Organization, and Fight Fight Fight LLC collectively own 80% of the TRUMP token supply, subject to a three-year unlocking schedule. The website also states that these tokens are subject to lock-up periods ranging from 3 to 12 months and are subsequently unlocked linearly over a 24-month period. The remaining tokens are stated to be allocated as 10% reserved for liquidity and 10% for public distribution, both of which were fully unlocked at launch.
According to publicly available information (source: https://gettrumpmemes.com/, accessed 2026-06-22), TRUMP is a meme crypto-asset made available through GetTrumpMemes.com and presented as the official Trump meme. The holding of TRUMP is associated with the $TRUMP Coin Club, a tiered membership programme through which holders may be offered leaderboard-based rewards, merchandise discounts and access to events. Material information relating to the crypto-asset is published by Fight Fight Fight LLC through its recognised disclosure channels, principally the project website.
According to the issuer's terms and conditions (source: https://gettrumpmemes.com/terms, accessed 2026-06-22), TRUMP is intended to function as an expression of support for and engagement with the ideals and beliefs embodied by the symbol "$TRUMP" and the associated artwork, and is expressly stated not to be an investment opportunity, investment contract or security of any type.
According to the $TRUMP Coin Club page (source: https://gettrumpmemes.com/trumpclub, accessed 2026-06-22), the crypto-asset has no payment functionality and is not redeemable for goods, services or cash, in the sense that the tokens are not surrendered or exchanged in return for any benefit. Holders may nonetheless, on the basis of their time-weighted holdings and at the issuer's sole discretion, be offered access to events, experiences and merchant discounts through the $TRUMP Coin Club. According to the same source, neither the holding of TRUMP nor the amount held entitles, guarantees or confers any right or claim to any specific benefit, reward, service or experience.
09. Information about the quality and quantity of goods or services to which the utility tokens give access and restrictions on the transferability
As defined in Article 3(9) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 2023 on Markets in Crypto-Assets – amending Regulations (EU) No 1093/2010 and (EU) No 1095/2010 and Directives 2013/36/EU and (EU) 2019/1937 – a utility token is “a type of crypto-asset that is only intended to provide access to a good or a service supplied by its issuer”. This crypto-asset does not qualify as a utility token, as its intended use goes beyond providing access to a good or a service supplied solely by the issuer.
10. Key information about the offer to the public or admission to trading
Crypto Risk Metrics GmbH is seeking admission to trading on the Payward Global Solutions LTD (“Kraken”) platform in the European Union in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 2023 on Markets in Crypto-Assets, and amending Regulations (EU) No 1093/2010 and (EU) No 1095/2010 and Directives 2013/36/EU and (EU) 2019/1937. The admission to trading is not accompanied by a public offer of the crypto-asset.

A.13 Business activity
Crypto Risk Metrics GmbH is a technical service provider that supports regulated entities in fulfilling their regulatory requirements. Among other services, Crypto Risk Metrics GmbH acts as a data provider for ESG data under Article 66(5). In light of the requirements set out in Articles 4(7), 5(4) and 66(3) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 2023 on Markets in Crypto-Assets, and amending Regulations (EU) No 1093/2010 and (EU) No 1095/2010 and Directives 2013/36/EU and (EU) 2019/1937, Crypto Risk Metrics GmbH aims to provide central services for crypto-asset white papers.
A.14 Parent company business activity
A.15 Newly established
A.16 Financial condition for the past three years
Crypto Risk Metrics GmbH, founded in 2018 and based in Hamburg (HRB 154488), has undergone several strategic shifts in its business focus since incorporation. Due to these changes in business model and operational direction over time, the financial figures from earlier years are only comparable to a limited extent with the company’s current commercial activities. The present business model – centred on regulatory technology and risk analytics in the context of the MiCA framework – has been developed progressively and can realistically be considered fully operational since approximately 2024.
The company’s financial trajectory over the past three years reflects the transition from exploratory development towards market-ready product delivery. Profit or loss after tax for the last three financial years is as follows:
2024 (unaudited): loss of EUR 50,891.81
2023 (unaudited): loss of EUR 27,665.32
2022: profit of EUR 104,283.00
The profit in 2022 resulted primarily from legacy consulting activities, which were discontinued as part of the company’s repositioning.
The losses in 2023 and 2024 resulted from strategic investments in the development of proprietary software infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and compliance technology for the MiCA ecosystem. During those periods, no substantial commercial revenues were expected, as resources were directed towards preparing the platform for market entry in a regulated environment.
A fundamental repositioning of the company occurred in 2023 and especially in 2024, when the focus shifted towards providing risk management, regulatory reporting, and supervisory compliance solutions for financial institutions and crypto-asset service providers. This marked a material shift in business operations and monetisation strategy.
Based on preliminary unaudited management information for the financial year 2025, revenues are expected to have exceeded EUR 800,000, while preliminary net profit is expected to exceed EUR 100,000.
These figures are not audited and are not based on a finalised annual financial statement. Accordingly, they remain subject to finalisation and may differ from the figures ultimately reported in the annual financial statements.
With the regulatory environment now taking shape and the platform commercially validated, it is assumed that the effects of the strategic developments will continue to materialise in 2026. The company foresees further scalability of its technology and growing market demand for regulatory compliance tools in the European crypto-asset sector.
No public subsidies or governmental grants have been received to date; all operations have been financed through shareholder contributions and internally generated resources. Crypto Risk Metrics has never accepted any payments in tokens from projects it has worked with and – due to its internal Conflicts of Interest Policy – never will.

D.3 Abbreviation
D.4 Crypto-asset project description
According to publicly available information (sources: https://gettrumpmemes.com/ and https://gettrumpmemes.com/trumpclub, accessed 2026-06-22), OFFICIAL TRUMP is a meme crypto-asset project operated by Fight Fight Fight LLC through the website GetTrumpMemes.com and presented as the only official Trump meme. The stated purpose of the project is to function as an expression of support for, and engagement with, the ideals and beliefs associated with the symbol "$TRUMP" and the related artwork, and to build a community around that brand.
The principal component of the project is the $TRUMP Coin Club, a tiered membership programme (source: https://gettrumpmemes.com/trumpclub, accessed 2026-06-22). On the basis of time-weighted holdings, members may be offered leaderboard-based rewards, discounts across merchandise lines such as TRUMP Watches, TRUMP Sneakers and TRUMP Fragrances and other merchant partners, commemorative items, and access to events and experiences. Events offered under or alongside the project have included a private gala dinner for top holders held on 2025-05-22 and a "Crypto & Business Conference" at Mar-a-Lago on 2026-04-25, with further experiences announced during 2026. The availability and scope of any such benefit are stated to be at the issuer's sole discretion and may be modified or cancelled.
The project is operated by Fight Fight Fight LLC. Together with CIC Digital LLC, an affiliate of The Trump Organization, Fight Fight Fight LLC holds 80% of the supply subject to a three-year unlocking schedule, and CIC Digital LLC and Celebration Cards LLC (the owner of Fight Fight Fight LLC) are stated to receive trading revenue derived from trading activity. The "TRUMP" trademark is owned by DTTM Operations LLC and used under licence. Within the project the crypto-asset serves as the means of engagement and of access to the Coin Club, and does not represent any ownership, equity, profit-participation, governance or redemption right. The functionality and legal characteristics of the crypto-asset, including the absence of any enforceable right to Coin Club benefits, are described in section F.2.
The long-term evolution of the project, including the scope of any Coin Club benefits, merchant partnerships and events, may vary based on commercial, technical, economic and regulatory considerations. All future developments remain subject to change.

D.7 Key Features of Goods/Services for Utility Token Projects
D.8 Plans for the token
This section provides an overview of the historical developments related to the TRUMP crypto-asset and a description of planned or anticipated project milestones as publicly communicated. All forward-looking elements are subject to significant uncertainty. They do not constitute commitments, assurances or guarantees, and may be modified, delayed or discontinued at any time.
There is no single formally published roadmap for the TRUMP token; project plans are communicated through the project website and public announcements (sources: https://gettrumpmemes.com/, https://gettrumpmemes.com/trumpclub, https://gettrumpmemes.com/market-update and https://gettrumpmemes.com/trump-coin-grants, accessed 2026-06-22).
Past milestones:
- Brand origin (2024-07-13): the project identifies the "Fight Fight Fight" moment of 2024-07-13 as the genesis of the meme on which the crypto-asset is based (source: https://gettrumpmemes.com/, accessed 2026-06-22).
- Token launch on Solana (2025-01-17): the full supply of 1,000,000,000 TRUMP was created in a single mint transaction, of which 200,000,000 (20%) were unlocked at launch.
- Top-holder dinner announced (2025-04-23): the issuer announced a contest, running to 2025-05-12, under which the top 220 holders would be invited to a gala dinner with President Trump, the top 25 to a VIP reception and the top holders to a TRUMP-branded watch.

Future Milestones:

- Yield and liquidity programmes: holder participation in Kamino vaults supported by more than USD 10,000,000 in $TRUMP incentives, alongside continued institutional market-making (source: https://gettrumpmemes.com/market-update, accessed 2026-06-22).
- Ecosystem investment: the $TRUMP Fund (up to USD 3,500,000, with grants of USD 50,000 to USD 250,000) and the $TRUMP Game Studio, beginning with the TRUMP Billionaires Club game (source: https://gettrumpmemes.com/market-update, accessed 2026-06-22).
Note: All future milestones are subject to significant uncertainty, including but not limited to technical feasibility, regulatory developments and market adoption. The project may modify, delay, or discontinue any of these initiatives at any time. Past implementation or performance outcomes do not constitute an indication of future results, and any such changes may materially affect the characteristics, availability, or perceived value of the TRUMP crypto-asset for its holders.
D.9 Resource allocation
Based on publicly available information, the TRUMP project was not financed through disclosed equity investment or venture capital rounds, and no pre-sale to identified investors has been identified. At launch on 2025-01-17, the full supply of 1,000,000,000 TRUMP tokens was minted, with 200,000,000 tokens made available at launch and the remaining 800,000,000 tokens subject to release over a three-year period. The resources associated with the project are therefore understood to derive primarily from the initial token distribution, retained token holdings and trading-related revenue, rather than from external financing.
According to the project website, the 200,000,000 tokens made available at launch consisted of 100,000,000 tokens reserved for liquidity and 100,000,000 tokens allocated for public distribution. The remaining 800,000,000 tokens are held by entities associated with the project and are subject to the above-mentioned three-year unlocking schedule. The project website further states that entities associated with the project receive trading revenue derived from trading activity in the token.
Public reporting has published different estimates of monetary amounts associated with the TRUMP token. A Financial Times analysis published in March 2025 reported that wallets attributed to entities operating the project received at least USD 350,000,000 during the initial weeks after launch, consisting of approximately USD 314,000,000 from token sales and approximately USD 36,000,000 from liquidity-pool fees. Separately, Reuters reported on 2025-02-03, citing third-party blockchain analysis estimates, that entities behind the token had accumulated trading fees of between USD 86,000,000 and USD 100,000,000 by 2025-01-30. These figures relate to different methodologies, measurement windows and categories of value, and should not be aggregated.
Public reporting has also referred to the notional market value of retained or locked token holdings. Such figures are price-dependent and may fluctuate materially with market conditions. They should not be read as realised proceeds, cash resources or verified project funding.
According to the project’s market-structure update of 2026-02-22, less than 5% of the TRUMP token supply is expected to be deployed, sold, distributed or otherwise monetised over the following months to fund ecosystem initiatives. The exact amount of proceeds realised from token sales, trading-related revenue and future monetisation of retained tokens cannot be independently verified from publicly available information.
Accordingly, no single reliable aggregate amount of financial resources allocated to the project can be stated on the basis of the available public information. The principal identifiable resources consist of retained TRUMP token holdings, proceeds reportedly generated through token sales and trading-related revenue. On-chain data may be used to observe token balances and transfers on Solana; however, a public blockchain address cannot necessarily be attributed to a single natural or legal person. This limits the ability to determine exact economic control, beneficial ownership, realised proceeds or future actions. Changes in token distribution, unlocks, sales or monetisation of retained tokens may negatively affect holders of the TRUMP token.

Part F – Information about the crypto-assets
F.1 Crypto-asset type
F.2 Crypto-asset functionality
TRUMP is a fungible crypto-asset implemented natively on the Solana network as an SPL token and additionally available on the TRON network as a TRC-20 token. The token is intended to function as an expression of support for, and engagement with, the ideals and beliefs embodied by the symbol "$TRUMP" and the associated artwork. It has no inherent technical or economic function beyond being held and transferred.
The only holding-related feature identified is the $TRUMP Coin Club (source: https://gettrumpmemes.com/trumpclub, accessed 2026-06-22). On the basis of time-weighted holdings and at the issuer's sole discretion, holders may be offered access to events, experiences and merchant discounts. This is an off-chain promotional arrangement operated by the issuer, not a function of the token itself, and according to the same source neither the holding of TRUMP nor the amount held entitles, guarantees or confers any right or claim to any specific benefit, reward, service or experience.
Beyond the above, TRUMP has no protocol-level functionality as of the date of this white paper. It has no payment functionality, no transactional utility and no commercial integration, and is not redeemable for goods, services or cash. It does not entitle holders to any yield, fee share, dividend, redemption, staking reward or governance right.
The TRUMP token does not confer ownership, profit participation, governance rights over the issuer or any related entity in a corporate-law sense, or any form of legally enforceable economic entitlement. TRUMP is a standard fungible token with no protocol environment of its own, and its transfer and custody depend on factors such as the stability and operational conditions of the Solana and TRON blockchains, which are outside the control of token holders.
F.3 Planned application of functionalities
Future Milestones:
- $TRUMP Coin Club top-tier rewards (2026-07-19): a private suite at the FIFA World Cup 2026 final and a watch party at Trump Tower, New York, for top-ranked holders (source: https://gettrumpmemes.com/trumpclub, accessed 2026-06-22).
- America First Business Challenge live finale (July 2026), at which finalists pitch before the judging panel (source: https://gettrumpmemes.com/trump-coin-grants, accessed 2026-06-22).
- Yield and liquidity programmes: holder participation in Kamino vaults supported by more than USD 10,000,000 in $TRUMP incentives, alongside continued institutional market-making (source: https://gettrumpmemes.com/market-update, accessed 2026-06-22).
- Ecosystem investment: the $TRUMP Fund (up to USD 3,500,000, with grants of USD 50,000 to USD 250,000) and the $TRUMP Game Studio, beginning with the TRUMP Billionaires Club game (source: https://gettrumpmemes.com/market-update, accessed 2026-06-22).
Note: All future milestones are subject to significant uncertainty, including but not limited to technical feasibility, regulatory developments and market adoption. The project may modify, delay, or discontinue any of these initiatives at any time. Past implementation or performance outcomes do not constitute an indication of future results, and any such changes may materially affect the characteristics, availability, or perceived value of the TRUMP crypto-asset for its holders.

Part H – information on the underlying technology
H.1 Distributed ledger technology (DLT)
The crypto-asset in scope is implemented on the Solana network and is also available on the TRON blockchain, following the standards described below.
H.2 Protocols and technical standards
The crypto-asset in scope is implemented on the Solana network and is also available on the TRON blockchain, following the standards described below.
The following applies to Solana:
The crypto-asset is implemented on the Solana blockchain, a decentralised distributed-ledger network designed to support transaction processing and the execution of on-chain programs. The network relies on a set of technical protocols, cryptographic standards, and program frameworks intended to enable secure transaction validation, deterministic execution of instructions, and interoperability across the Solana ecosystem. The most relevant technical standards and protocols are outlined below.
1. Network Architecture and Core Protocols
The Solana network is structured as a peer-to-peer validator network in which independent nodes maintain the distributed ledger and process transactions.
- Solana uses Proof-of-History (PoH) as a cryptographic timing and ordering mechanism, while validator participation and voting are stake-weighted under its Proof-of-Stake model and Tower BFT consensus process.
- Tower BFT: A Byzantine fault tolerant consensus mechanism, derived from PBFT, that governs validator voting and block confirmation.
- Turbine: A block propagation protocol that distributes blocks across the validator network by splitting them into smaller data fragments (“shreds”) and transmitting them through a layered tree-based structure.
- Gulf Stream: A transaction forwarding mechanism that routes transactions directly to upcoming block producers and thereby limiting the need for a global transaction mempool.
- Sealevel: A parallel transaction execution engine that enables non-conflicting transactions and programs to execute simultaneously across multiple processing threads.
Together, these mechanisms support transaction processing while maintaining a synchronised and verifiable ledger state across participating validator nodes.
2. Address and Cryptographic Standards
Accounts and transactions on the Solana network rely on defined cryptographic primitives and address formats.
- Account Addresses: Accounts are identified by 32-byte addresses. Externally controlled accounts typically use Ed25519 key pairs, while program-derived addresses (PDAs) are deterministically derived off-curve addresses that do not correspond to a private key.
- Transaction Signatures: Transactions are authorised through Ed25519 signatures associated with the account owner’s keypair.
- Hashing: Sequential SHA-256 hashing is used within the Proof-of-History mechanism to generate a verifiable ordering of events.
- Program Derived Addresses (PDAs): Deterministically generated addresses derived through hashing procedures that ensure the resulting address does not correspond to a private key, thereby enabling secure program-controlled accounts.
These cryptographic mechanisms provide the basis for transaction authentication, deterministic account control, and verifiable execution of on-chain instructions.
3. Networking and Data Transmission Standards
Communication between validator nodes and network participants follows defined networking protocols and technical constraints.
- QUIC is used for transaction ingress and TPU-related forwarding paths on Solana validators, alongside other networking channels used across the cluster.
- UDP-based propagation: Utilised for distributing block fragments (“shreds”) across the network through the Turbine protocol.
- Transaction size limits: The maximum transaction size of approximately 1,232 bytes is aligned with the IPv6 minimum transmission unit (MTU) after accounting for network headers, and is intended to enable atomic transmission without fragmentation.
- JSON-RPC interfaces: Standardised APIs used by wallets, applications, and infrastructure providers to submit transactions and query blockchain state.
These standards support interoperability between network nodes, developer infrastructure, and user-facing applications interacting with the Solana ledger.
4. Token and Program Standards (Solana Program Library)
Tokens on Solana are commonly implemented using either the original Token Program or the Token Extension Program (Token-2022), each of which defines standardised token behaviour through on-chain program logic.
Within this framework:
- A token type is represented by a mint account, which defines parameters such as total supply and mint authority.
- Individual token balances are stored in token accounts, which hold balances associated with a specific mint and owner address.
- Interactions with tokens occur through instructions executed by the relevant token program rather than through separate token-specific smart contracts.
These programmatic standards enable consistent token management across the Solana ecosystem. Projects may also integrate metadata functionality, for example through the Metaplex Token Metadata Program or, where applicable, through Token-2022 metadata extensions.
5. Protocol Development and Improvement Standards
Technical changes to the Solana protocol may be proposed and discussed through Solana Improvement Documents (SIMDs). These proposals document suggested modifications to protocol behaviour, economic parameters, or technical limits. Accepted changes may be implemented through updates to validator software and related developer tooling used by network participants.
The following applies to TRON:
The crypto-asset operates on a well-defined set of protocols and technical standards that are intended to ensure its security, decentralisation, and functionality. Below are some of the key ones:
1. Network Protocols
The crypto-asset operates on the TRON blockchain, which is based on a decentralised, peer-to-peer networking architecture. Nodes communicate using a combination of gRPC and HTTP interfaces, with gRPC serving as the primary high-performance channel for block, transaction, and contract-execution communication.
– TRON maintains several network environments: the Mainnet (production network for transactions with economic value), test networks such as Shasta and Nile for development, and private networks that can be deployed locally for isolated testing scenarios.
– Node participation is open to all: Fullnodes store and validate the complete blockchain history and expose APIs for querying and broadcasting transactions; Lite Fullnodes synchronize from a reduced snapshot and support fast startup for general applications requiring only recent state.
– The P2P layer supports message propagation, block relay, and node discovery, including support for optimisations such as compressed P2P messages and DNS-based node discovery as introduced in later TRON Improvement Proposals (TIPs).
– The network is designed around Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), where Super Representatives (SRs) maintain block production and consensus by collaboratively verifying and broadcasting blocks.
2. Transaction and Address Standards
TRON uses an account-based model in which each account is controlled by an asymmetric key pair.
– Addresses exist in two representations: a Hex format starting with the prefix 41, and a Base58Check-encoded representation beginning with T. Both refer to the same underlying account.
– All state-changing operations are formulated as signed transactions, which include the contract payload (raw_data.contract), timestamp, expiration, and a reference block indicator (TAPOS) to prevent replay on historical forks.
– Core system contract types define basic functionality at the protocol level, including TransferContract for TRX transfers, TransferAssetContract for TRC-10 transfers, FreezeBalanceV2Contract and UnfreezeBalanceV2Contract for staking under Stake 2.0, and TriggerSmartContract for invocations of smart-contract logic.
– Smart contracts run on the TRON Virtual Machine (TVM), and execution requires the caller to specify a fee_limit parameter, which caps the maximum Energy consumption of the transaction.
– Token and asset standards include TRC-10 (protocol-level assets not requiring smart contracts), TRC-20 (fungible smart-contract assets analogous to ERC-20), TRC-721 (non-fungible crypto-asset standard), and TRC-1155 (multi-asset standard allowing fungible and non-fungible items within a single contract). These standards are defined through the TRON Improvement Proposal (TIP) process and form part of the broader interoperability specification of the TRON ecosystem.
3. Blockchain Data Structure and Block Standards
The blockchain consists of sequentially chained blocks, each containing a block header and a list of validated transactions.
– Consensus follows a Delegated Proof of Stake model where 27 elected Super Representatives produce blocks in three-second intervals. Within each time slot, the designated SR aggregates transactions, verifies them, constructs a block, signs it, and broadcasts it to the network.
– A block is considered irreversible once more than 70% of SRs (at least 19 of 27) approve it, at which point the block becomes solidified in the canonical history.
– Each block header records metadata such as the block number, parent block hash, Merkle root of the transaction trie, timestamp, and the address and signature of the producing SR.
– TRON enforces a maximum block size of approximately 2,000,000 bytes, enabling high-frequency block production while keeping propagation delays predictable.
– The blockchain state includes account balances, smart-contract storage, resource allocations (Bandwidth and Energy), and system parameters, all maintained by the TVM state model and updated deterministically during transaction execution.
4. Upgrade and Improvement Standards
Protocol upgrades on TRON follow the TRON Improvement Proposal (TIP) framework, which defines standards for consensus rules, networking, APIs, token formats, and TVM behaviour.
– Super Representatives (SRs) govern adjustable protocol parameters through an on-chain proposal system. Proposals remain open for three days and are approved when at least 18 of the 27 SRs vote in favor, after which the updated parameters are implemented via client releases.
– TIPs specify changes such as resource-model adjustments, Energy-cost updates, new TVM instructions, or EVM-compatibility features, enabling iterative development without requiring frequent hard forks.
– Smart-contract upgradeability is achieved at the application layer through patterns such as proxy-based architectures, which separate contract storage from logic and allow implementation contracts to be replaced without modifying stored data.
H.3 Technology used
The crypto-asset in scope is implemented on the Solana network and is also available on the TRON blockchain, following the standards described below.
The following applies to Solana:
1. Solana-Compatible Wallets: The tokens are generally supported by wallets compatible with Solana’s token programs.
2. Decentralised Ledger: The Solana blockchain acts as a decentralised ledger for all token transactions, with the intention of preserving a tamper-resistant record of token transfers and ownership in order to ensure both transparency and security.
3. SPL Token Program: Tokens on Solana are commonly implemented using either the original Token Program or the Token Extension Program (Token-2022), which provide standardised on-chain logic for token creation, issuance, transfer, and account management. Unlike the ERC-20 model on Ethereum, where a project typically deploys its own token contract, Solana tokens generally rely on shared token-program infrastructure, which promotes a high degree of standardisation across the ecosystem.
4. Blockchain Scalability: Solana is designed to support high transaction throughput and comparatively low transaction fees, with the intention of enabling efficient token transfers and related on-chain operations.
Security Protocols for Asset Custody and Transactions:
1. Private Key Management: To safeguard their token holdings, users must securely store their wallet’s private keys and recovery phrases.
2. Cryptographic Integrity: Solana uses Ed25519 digital signatures to authenticate transactions submitted by authorised signers, thereby supporting the integrity and verifiability of token transfers.
The following applies to TRON:
1. Private Key Management
TRON accounts are controlled through ECDSA key pairs (secp256k1). The private key is required for authorising all transactions and must be protected securely, as anyone with access can control the corresponding account. Users typically secure their keys through hardware wallets or other cold-storage methods. TRON also supports advanced permission management, allowing accounts to assign multiple keys with weighted signatures across Owner, Active, and Witness permission groups.
2. Decentralized Ledger
The TRON blockchain maintains a decentralized ledger of all transfers and contract interactions, intended to provide a verifiable and tamper-resistant transaction history. Blocks contain the Merkle root of included transactions and references to prior blocks, preserving data integrity through hash chaining.
3. Cryptographic Integrity and Hashing
TRON uses Keccak-256 for address generation and transaction hashing. Signatures rely on ECDSA to authenticate the sender and prevent unauthorized modification of transaction data. Verification reconstructs the signer’s public key from the signature to confirm that it matches the originating account. Hashing also supports Merkle trie state management in block headers. The TVM provides precompiled cryptographic functions and implements distinct internal hashing behaviour for certain operations.
4. TRC Standards for Fungible and Non-Fungible Assets
TRON supports multiple token standards.
– TRC-10: A protocol-level fungible asset standard issued via system contracts, requiring a 1,024 TRX creation fee and allowing only one issuance per account. Transfers use the TransferAssetContract.
– TRC-20: A fungible smart-contract standard compatible with ERC-20, defining functions for supply, balance queries, transfers, and allowances, along with Transfer and Approval events.
– TRC-721: A non-fungible token standard compatible with ERC-721, requiring implementation of TRC-721 and TRC-165 interfaces.
H.4 Consensus mechanism
The crypto-asset in scope is implemented on the Solana network and is also available on the TRON blockchain, following the standards described below.
The following applies to Solana:
Solana uses a combination of Proof-of-History (PoH) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS). The core concepts of the mechanism are intended to work as follows:
Core Concepts
1. Proof-of-History (PoH):
PoH is a cryptographic ordering and timing mechanism that provides evidence that data existed in a particular sequence and that time passed between proofs.
Verifiable Delay Function (VDF): PoH relies on a sequential hash-based proof process that Solana describes as VDF-like. This sequence of hashes provides a verifiable order of events, enabling the network to efficiently agree on the sequence of transactions.
2. Proof-of-Stake (PoS):
Validator Selection: Leader slots are assigned through the network’s leader schedule, which is stake-weighted. The more SOL staked, the higher the chance of being selected to validate transactions and produce new blocks.
Delegation: Token holders can delegate their SOL tokens to validators, earning rewards proportional to their stake while contributing to the network's security.
Consensus Process
1. Transaction Validation:
Transactions are broadcasted to the network and collected by validators. Each transaction is validated to ensure it meets the network’s criteria, such as having correct signatures and sufficient funds.
2. PoH Sequence Generation:
A validator generates a sequence of hashes using PoH, each containing a timestamp and the previous hash. This process creates a historical record of transactions, establishing a cryptographic clock for the network.
3. Block Production:
The network uses PoS to select a leader validator based on their stake. The leader is responsible for bundling the validated transactions into a block. The leader validator uses the PoH sequence to order transactions within the block, ensuring that all transactions are processed in the correct order.
4. Consensus and Finalisation:
Other validators vote on the ledger state associated with the block. A block may first become confirmed and later finalised once it reaches the network’s strongest confirmation state.
Security and Economic Incentives
1. Incentives for Validators:
Block Rewards: Validators earn rewards for producing and validating blocks. These rewards are distributed in SOL tokens and are proportional to the validator’s stake and performance.
Transaction Fees: Validators also earn transaction fees from the transactions included in the blocks they produce. These fees provide an additional incentive for validators to process transactions efficiently.
2. Security:
Staking: Staking provides economic alignment, and Solana documentation notes that slashing has been discussed as a future mechanism for intentional malicious behaviour, but is not implemented yet.
Delegated Staking: Token holders can delegate their SOL tokens to validators, intended to enhance network security and decentralisation. Delegators share in the rewards and are incentivised to choose reliable validators.
3. Economic Penalties:
Slashing (planned): Validators can be penalised for malicious behaviour, such as double-signing or producing invalid blocks. This penalty, known as slashing, results in the loss of a portion of the staked tokens, discouraging dishonest actions.
The following applies to TRON:
TRON uses a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism in which holders of the native crypto-asset may stake their units to obtain voting rights. These votes determine the 27 Super Representatives (SRs) that are responsible for block production. The SR set and block production order are updated during maintenance periods, which occur approximately every six hours. Blocks are produced in scheduled slots of approximately three seconds. If an SR does not produce a block in its assigned slot, the slot remains empty and the next scheduled SR may produce a block in the following slot.
Newly produced blocks are initially unconfirmed. A block is considered irreversible once it has been approved by more than 70% of the 27 SRs, meaning at least 19 SRs, through the production of subsequent blocks. Governance and adjustable protocol parameters are handled through an on-chain proposal system. Proposals may be initiated by SRs, SR partners and SR candidates, while only SRs may vote. A proposal is valid for three days and passes if it receives at least 18 SR votes.
H.5 Incentive mechanisms and applicable fees
The crypto-asset in scope is implemented on the Solana network and is also available on the TRON blockchain, following the standards described below.
The following applies to Solana:
1. Validators:
Validators participate in block production and voting under Solana’s stake-weighted model. They may receive staking-related rewards and a share of transaction-fee income. Under Solana’s fee model, the base fee is split between burn and validator compensation, while any prioritisation fee is paid to the validator.
Transaction Fees: Validators earn a portion of the transaction fees paid by users for the transactions they include in the blocks. This is intended to provide an additional financial incentive for validators to process transactions efficiently and maintain the network's integrity.
2. Delegators:
Delegated Staking: Token holders who do not wish to run a validator node can delegate their SOL tokens to a validator. In return, delegators share the rewards earned by the validators. This is intended to encourage widespread participation in securing the network and to support decentralisation.
3. Economic Security:
Solana staking documentation notes slashing as a possible future mechanism for intentional malicious conduct, but states that slashing is not implemented in the protocol today. Economic alignment instead currently arises primarily from staking participation, validator performance incentives, and the opportunity cost of locking capital in staking positions.
Fees Applicable on the Solana Blockchain
1. Transaction Fees:
Solana transactions require fees in SOL. The fee model consists of a base fee and, where used, an optional prioritisation fee. The base fee compensates signature verification work and is split between burn and validator compensation, while any prioritisation fee is paid to the validator.
2. Rent Fees:
Solana accounts that store on-chain state must satisfy the rent-exemption threshold, which is linked to the amount of data stored. This mechanism is intended to support efficient use of network state and account storage resources.
3. Program Execution Costs:
Deploying and interacting with on-chain programs may involve transaction fees and, where relevant, compute-related prioritisation fees and account-storage requirements. These mechanisms are intended to allocate network resources in proportion to use.
The following applies to TRON:
Super Representatives receive block production rewards for blocks they successfully produce. Current TRON documentation describes the block production reward as 8 units of the native crypto-asset per block, while an additional 128 units per block are allocated as voting rewards shared among SRs and SR partners based on votes received. SRs and SR partners may deduct a commission before distributing rewards to voters according to voting weight.
Transactions and smart-contract executions consume network resources. Standard transactions consume Bandwidth, while smart-contract deployment and execution also consume Energy. Users may obtain Bandwidth or Energy by staking the native crypto-asset. Where available resources are insufficient, the protocol burns the native crypto-asset to pay the applicable resource cost. The network also applies a dynamic Energy model, under which contracts that consume substantial resources during a maintenance cycle may require increased Energy in a subsequent cycle. TRON does not apply a conventional slashing mechanism, but failed or abnormal contract executions and the dynamic Energy model may result in higher resource deductions or costs.

H.9 Audit outcome
Part I – Information on risks
I.1 Offer-related risks
1. Regulatory and Compliance
Regulatory frameworks applicable to crypto-asset services in the European Union and in third countries are evolving. Supervisory authorities may introduce, interpret, or enforce rules that affect (i) the eligibility of this crypto-asset for admission to trading, (ii) the conditions under which a crypto-asset service provider may offer trading, custody, or transfer services for it, or (iii) the persons or jurisdictions to which such services may be provided. As a result, the crypto-asset service provider admitting this crypto-asset to trading may be required to suspend, restrict, or terminate trading or withdrawals for regulatory reasons, even if the crypto-asset itself continues to function on its underlying network.
2. Trading venue and connection risk
Trading in the crypto-asset depends on the uninterrupted operation of the trading venues on which it is listed and, where applicable, on its technical connections to external liquidity sources or venues. Interruptions such as system downtime, maintenance, faulty integrations, API changes, or failures at an external venue can temporarily prevent order placement, execution, deposits, or withdrawals, even when the underlying blockchain is functioning. In addition, trading platforms in emerging markets may operate under differing governance, compliance, and oversight standards, which can increase the risk of operational failures or disorderly market conditions.
3. Market formation and liquidity conditions
The price and tradability of the crypto-asset depend on actual trading activity on the venues to which the service provider is connected, whether centralised exchanges (CEXs) or decentralised exchanges (DEXs). Trading volumes may at times be low, order books thin, or liquidity concentrated on a single venue. In such conditions, buy or sell orders may not be executed in full or may be executed only at a less favourable price, resulting in slippage.
Volatility: The market price of the crypto-asset may fluctuate significantly over short periods, including for reasons that are not linked to changes in the underlying project or protocol. Periods of limited liquidity, shifts in overall market sentiment, or trading on only a small number of CEXs or DEXs can amplify these movements and lead to higher slippage when orders are executed. As a result, investors may be unable to sell the crypto-asset at or close to a previously observed price, even where no negative project-specific event has occurred.
4. Counterparty and service provider dependence
The admission of the crypto-asset to trading may rely on several external parties, such as connected centralised or decentralised trading venues, liquidity providers, brokers, custodians, or technical integrators. If any of these counterparties fail to perform, suspend their services, or apply internal restrictions, the trading, deposit, or withdrawal of the crypto-asset on the listing crypto-asset service provider can be interrupted or halted.
Quality of counterparties: Trading venues and service providers in certain jurisdictions may operate under regulatory or supervisory standards that are lower or differently enforced than those applicable in the European Union. In such environments, deficiencies in governance, risk management, or compliance may remain undetected, which increases the probability of abrupt service interruptions, investigations, or forced wind-downs.
Delisting and service suspension: The crypto-asset’s availability may depend on the internal listing decisions of these counterparties. A delisting or suspension on a key connected venue can materially reduce liquidity or make trading temporarily impossible on the admitting service provider, even if the underlying crypto-asset continues to function.
Insolvency of counterparties: If a counterparty involved in holding, routing, or settling the crypto-asset becomes insolvent, enters restructuring, or is otherwise subject to resolution measures, assets held or processed by that counterparty may be frozen, become temporarily unavailable, or be recoverable only in part or not at all, which can result in losses for clients whose positions were maintained through that counterparty. This risk applies in particular where client assets are held on an omnibus basis or where segregation is not fully recognised in the counterparty’s jurisdiction.
5. Operational and information risks
Due to the irrevocability of blockchain transactions, incorrect transaction approvals or the use of wrong networks or addresses will typically make the transferred funds irrecoverable. Because trading may also rely on technical connections to other venues or service providers, downtime or faulty code in these connections can temporarily block trading, deposits, or withdrawals even when the underlying blockchain is functioning. In addition, different groups of market participants may have unequal access to technical, governance, or project-related information, which can lead to information asymmetry and place less informed investors at a disadvantage when making trading decisions.
6. Market access and liquidity concentration risk
If the crypto-asset is only available on a limited number of trading platforms or through a single market-making entity, this may result in reduced liquidity, greater price volatility, or periods of inaccessibility for retail holders.
I.2 Issuer-related risks
1. Insolvency of the issuer
As with any commercial entity, the issuer may face insolvency risks. These may result from insufficient funding, low market interest, mismanagement, or external shocks (e.g. pandemics, armed conflicts). In such a case, ongoing development, support, and governance of the project may cease, potentially affecting the viability and tradability of the crypto-asset.
2. Legal and regulatory risks
The issuer operates in a dynamic and evolving regulatory environment. Failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations in relevant jurisdictions may result in enforcement actions, penalties, or restrictions on the project’s operations. These may negatively impact the crypto-asset’s availability, market acceptance, or legal status.
3. Operational risks
The issuer may fail to implement adequate internal controls, risk management, or governance processes. This can result in operational disruptions, financial losses, delays in updating the white paper, or reputational damage.
4. Governance and decision-making
The issuer’s management body is responsible for key strategic, operational, and disclosure decisions. Ineffective governance, delays in decision-making, or lack of resources may compromise the stability of the project and its compliance with MiCA requirements. High concentration of decision-making authority or changes in ownership/control can amplify these risks.
5. Reputational risks
The issuer’s reputation may be harmed by internal failures, external accusations, or association with illicit activity. Negative publicity can reduce trust in the issuer and impact the perceived legitimacy or value of the crypto-asset.
6. Counterparty dependence
The issuer may depend on third-party providers for certain core functions, such as technology development, marketing, legal advice, or infrastructure. If these partners discontinue their services, change ownership, or underperform, the issuer’s ability to operate the project or maintain investor communication may be impaired. This could disrupt project continuity or undermine market confidence, ultimately affecting the crypto-asset’s value.
I.3 Crypto-assets-related risks
1. Valuation risk
The crypto-asset does not represent a claim, nor is it backed by physical assets or legal entitlements. Its market value is driven solely by supply and demand dynamics and may fluctuate significantly. In the absence of fundamental value anchors, such assets can lose their entire market value within a very short time. Historical market behaviour has shown that some types of crypto-assets have become worthless. Investors should be aware that this crypto-asset may lose all of its value.
2. Market volatility risk
Crypto-asset prices can fluctuate sharply due to changes in market sentiment, macroeconomic conditions, regulatory developments, or technology trends. Such volatility may result in rapid and significant losses. Holders should be prepared for the possibility of losing the full amount invested.
3. Liquidity and price-determination risk
Low trading volumes, fragmented trading across venues, or the absence of active market makers can restrict the ability to buy or sell the crypto-asset. In such situations, it is not guaranteed that an observable market price will exist at all times. Spreads may widen materially, and orders may only be executable under unfavourable conditions, which can make liquidation costly or temporarily impossible.
4. Crypto-asset security risk
Loss or theft of private keys, unauthorised access to wallets, or failures of custodial or exchange service providers can result in the irreversible loss of assets. Because blockchain transactions are final, recovery of funds after a compromise is generally impossible.
5. Fraud and scam risk
The pseudonymous and irreversible nature of blockchain transactions can attract fraudulent schemes. Typical forms include fake or unauthorised crypto-assets imitating established ones, phishing attempts, deceptive airdrops, or social-engineering attacks. Investors should exercise caution and verify the authenticity of counterparties and information sources.
6. Legal and regulatory reclassification risk
Legislative or regulatory changes in the European Union or in the Member State where the crypto-asset is admitted to trading may alter its legal classification, permitted uses, or tradability. In third countries, the crypto-asset may be treated as a financial instrument or security, which can restrict its offering, trading, or custody.
7. Absence of investor protection
The crypto-asset is not covered by investor-compensation or deposit-guarantee schemes. In the event of loss, fraud, or insolvency of a service provider, holders may have no access to recourse mechanisms typically available in regulated financial markets.
8. Counterparty risk
Reliance on third-party exchanges, custodians, or intermediaries exposes holders to operational failures, insolvency, or fraud of these parties. Investors should conduct due diligence on service providers, as their failure may lead to the partial or total loss of held assets.
9. Reputational risk
Negative publicity related to security incidents, misuse of blockchain technology, or associations with illicit activity can damage public confidence and reduce the crypto-asset’s market value.
10. Community and sentiment risk
Because the crypto-asset’s perceived relevance and expected future use depend largely on community engagement and the prevailing sentiment, a loss of public interest, negative coverage or reduced activity of key contributors can materially reduce market demand.
11. Macroeconomic and interest-rate risk
Fluctuations in interest rates, exchange rates, general market conditions, or overall market volatility can influence investor sentiment towards digital assets and affect the crypto-asset’s market value.
12. Taxation risk
Tax treatment varies across jurisdictions. Holders are individually responsible for complying with all applicable tax laws, including the reporting and payment of taxes arising from the acquisition, holding, or disposal of the crypto-asset.
13. Anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist financing risk
Wallet addresses or transactions connected to the crypto-asset may be linked to sanctioned or illicit activity. Regulatory responses to such findings may include transfer restrictions, reporting obligations, or the freezing of assets on certain venues.
14. Market-abuse risk
Due to limited oversight and transparency, crypto-assets may be vulnerable to market-abuse practices such as spoofing, pump-and-dump schemes, or insider trading. Such activities can distort prices and expose holders to sudden losses.
15. Legal ownership and jurisdictional risk
Depending on the applicable law, holders of the crypto-asset may not have enforceable ownership rights or effective legal remedies in cases of disputes, fraud, or service failure. In certain jurisdictions, access to exchanges or interfaces may be restricted by regulatory measures, even if on-chain transfer remains technically possible.
16. Concentration risk
A large proportion of the total supply may be held by a small number of holders. This can enable market manipulation, governance dominance, or sudden large-scale liquidations that adversely affect market stability, price levels, and investor confidence.
I.4 Project implementation-related risks
As this white paper relates to admission to trading of the crypto-asset, the risk description below reflects general implementation risks typically associated with crypto-asset projects and relevant for the crypto-asset service provider. The party admitting the crypto-asset to trading is not involved in the project’s implementation and does not assume responsibility for its governance, funding, or execution.
Delays, failures, or changes in the implementation of the project as outlined in its public roadmap or technical documentation may negatively impact the perceived credibility or usability of the crypto-asset. This includes risks related to project governance, resource allocation, technical delivery, and team continuity.
Key-person risk: The project may rely on a limited number of individuals for development, maintenance, or strategic direction. The departure, incapacity, or misalignment of these individuals may delay or derail the implementation.
Timeline and milestone risk: Project milestones may not be met as announced. Delays in feature releases, protocol upgrades, or external integrations can undermine market confidence and affect the adoption, use, or value of the crypto-asset.
Delivery risk: Even if implemented on time, certain functionalities or integrations may not perform as intended or may be scaled back during execution, limiting the crypto-asset’s practical utility.
I.5 Technology-related risks
As this white paper relates to admission to trading of the crypto-asset, the following risks concern the underlying distributed ledger technology (DLT), its supporting infrastructure, and related technical dependencies. Failures or vulnerabilities in these systems may affect the availability, integrity, or transferability of the crypto-asset.
1. Blockchain dependency risk
The functionality of the crypto-asset depends on the continuous and stable operation of the blockchain(s) on which it is issued. Network congestion, outages, or protocol errors may temporarily or permanently disrupt on-chain transactions. Extended downtime or degradation in network performance can affect trading, settlement, or the usability of the crypto-asset.
2. Smart contract vulnerability risk
The crypto-asset is implemented on more than one network, and the relevant technical risk differs by implementation. On the Solana network, the crypto-asset relies on shared token-program infrastructure rather than a project-specific smart contract governing its transfers; the parameters of the associated mint account, including the status and configuration of the mint authority, are therefore the principal factor for supply-related and transfer-related risk on that network. On the TRON network, the crypto-asset is represented through a TRC-20-compatible LayerZero Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) contract. Coding errors, misconfiguration or security vulnerabilities in that contract, in its trusted peers, in the cross-chain messaging configuration or in related interoperability infrastructure may result in failed or incorrectly credited transfers, loss of assets, duplication, or disruption of cross-chain functionality. On either network, undetected vulnerabilities may persist even after external audits, owing to the immutable nature of deployed code.
3. Wallet and key-management risk
The custody of crypto-assets relies on secure private key management. Loss, theft, or compromise of private keys results in irreversible loss of access. Custodians, trading venues, or wallet providers may be targeted by cyberattacks. Compatibility issues between wallet software and changes to the blockchain protocol (e.g. network upgrades) can further limit user access or the ability to transfer the crypto-asset.
Outdated or vulnerable wallet software:
Users relying on outdated, unaudited, or unsupported wallet software may face compatibility issues, security vulnerabilities, or failures when interacting with the blockchain. Failure to update wallet software in line with protocol developments can result in transaction errors, loss of access, or exposure to known exploits.
4. Network security risks
Attack risks: Blockchains may be subject to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, 51% attacks, or other exploits targeting the consensus mechanism. These can delay transactions, compromise finality, or disrupt the accurate recording of transfers.
Centralisation concerns: Despite claims of decentralisation, a relatively small number of validators or a high concentration of stake may increase the risk of collusion, censorship, or coordinated network downtime, which can affect the resilience and operational reliability of the crypto-asset.
5. Bridge and interoperability risk
Where tokens can be bridged or wrapped across multiple blockchains, vulnerabilities in bridge protocols, validator sets, or locking mechanisms may result in loss, duplication, or misrepresentation of assets. Exploits or technical failures in these systems can instantly impact circulating supply, ownership claims, or token fungibility across chains.
6. Forking and protocol-upgrade risk
Network upgrades or disagreements among node operators or validators can result in blockchain “forks”, where the blockchain splits into two or more incompatible versions that continue separately from a shared past. This may lead to duplicate token representations or incompatibilities between exchanges and wallets. Until consensus stabilises, trading or transfers may be disrupted or misaligned. Such situations may be difficult for retail holders to navigate, particularly when trading platforms or wallets display inconsistent token information.
7. Economic-layer and abstraction risk
Mechanisms such as gas relayers, wrapped tokens, or synthetic representations may alter the transaction economics of the underlying token. Changes in transaction costs, token demand, or utility may reduce its usage and weaken both its economic function and perceived value within its ecosystem.
8. Spam and network-efficiency risk
High volumes of low-value (“dust”) or automated transactions may congest the network, slow validation times, inflate ledger size, and raise transaction costs. This can impair performance, reduce throughput, and expose address patterns to analysis, thereby reducing network efficiency and privacy.
9. Front-end and access-interface risk
If users rely on centralised web interfaces or hosted wallets to interact with the blockchain, service outages, malicious compromises, or domain expiries affecting these interfaces may block access to the crypto-asset, even while the blockchain itself remains fully functional. Dependence on single web portals introduces a critical point of failure outside the DLT layer.
10. Decentralisation claim risk
While the technical infrastructure may appear distributed, the actual governance or economic control of the project may lie with a small set of actors. This disconnect between marketing claims and structural reality can lead to regulatory scrutiny, reputational damage, or legal uncertainty – especially if the project is presented as ‘community-governed’ without substantiation.

S.1 Name
S.2 Relevant legal entity identifier
S.3 Name of the crypto-asset
S.4 Consensus Mechanism
The crypto-asset in scope is implemented on the Solana network and is also available on the TRON blockchain, following the standards described below.
The following applies to Solana:
Solana uses a combination of Proof-of-History (PoH) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS). The core concepts of the mechanism are intended to work as follows:
Core Concepts
1. Proof-of-History (PoH):
PoH is a cryptographic ordering and timing mechanism that provides evidence that data existed in a particular sequence and that time passed between proofs.
Verifiable Delay Function (VDF): PoH relies on a sequential hash-based proof process that Solana describes as VDF-like. This sequence of hashes provides a verifiable order of events, enabling the network to efficiently agree on the sequence of transactions.
2. Proof-of-Stake (PoS):
Validator Selection: Leader slots are assigned through the network’s leader schedule, which is stake-weighted. The more SOL staked, the higher the chance of being selected to validate transactions and produce new blocks.
Delegation: Token holders can delegate their SOL tokens to validators, earning rewards proportional to their stake while contributing to the network's security.
Consensus Process
1. Transaction Validation:
Transactions are broadcasted to the network and collected by validators. Each transaction is validated to ensure it meets the network’s criteria, such as having correct signatures and sufficient funds.
2. PoH Sequence Generation:
A validator generates a sequence of hashes using PoH, each containing a timestamp and the previous hash. This process creates a historical record of transactions, establishing a cryptographic clock for the network.
3. Block Production:
The network uses PoS to select a leader validator based on their stake. The leader is responsible for bundling the validated transactions into a block. The leader validator uses the PoH sequence to order transactions within the block, ensuring that all transactions are processed in the correct order.
4. Consensus and Finalisation:
Other validators vote on the ledger state associated with the block. A block may first become confirmed and later finalised once it reaches the network’s strongest confirmation state.
Security and Economic Incentives
1. Incentives for Validators:
Block Rewards: Validators earn rewards for producing and validating blocks. These rewards are distributed in SOL tokens and are proportional to the validator’s stake and performance.
Transaction Fees: Validators also earn transaction fees from the transactions included in the blocks they produce. These fees provide an additional incentive for validators to process transactions efficiently.
2. Security:
Staking: Staking provides economic alignment, and Solana documentation notes that slashing has been discussed as a future mechanism for intentional malicious behaviour, but is not implemented yet.
Delegated Staking: Token holders can delegate their SOL tokens to validators, intended to enhance network security and decentralisation. Delegators share in the rewards and are incentivised to choose reliable validators.
3. Economic Penalties:
Slashing (planned): Validators can be penalised for malicious behaviour, such as double-signing or producing invalid blocks. This penalty, known as slashing, results in the loss of a portion of the staked tokens, discouraging dishonest actions.
The following applies to TRON:
TRON uses a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism in which holders of the native crypto-asset may stake their units to obtain voting rights. These votes determine the 27 Super Representatives (SRs) that are responsible for block production. The SR set and block production order are updated during maintenance periods, which occur approximately every six hours. Blocks are produced in scheduled slots of approximately three seconds. If an SR does not produce a block in its assigned slot, the slot remains empty and the next scheduled SR may produce a block in the following slot.
Newly produced blocks are initially unconfirmed. A block is considered irreversible once it has been approved by more than 70% of the 27 SRs, meaning at least 19 SRs, through the production of subsequent blocks. Governance and adjustable protocol parameters are handled through an on-chain proposal system. Proposals may be initiated by SRs, SR partners and SR candidates, while only SRs may vote. A proposal is valid for three days and passes if it receives at least 18 SR votes.
S.5 Incentive Mechanisms and Applicable Fees
The crypto-asset in scope is implemented on the Solana network and is also available on the TRON blockchain, following the standards described below.
The following applies to Solana:
1. Validators:
Validators participate in block production and voting under Solana’s stake-weighted model. They may receive staking-related rewards and a share of transaction-fee income. Under Solana’s fee model, the base fee is split between burn and validator compensation, while any prioritisation fee is paid to the validator.
Transaction Fees: Validators earn a portion of the transaction fees paid by users for the transactions they include in the blocks. This is intended to provide an additional financial incentive for validators to process transactions efficiently and maintain the network's integrity.
2. Delegators:
Delegated Staking: Token holders who do not wish to run a validator node can delegate their SOL tokens to a validator. In return, delegators share the rewards earned by the validators. This is intended to encourage widespread participation in securing the network and to support decentralisation.
3. Economic Security:
Solana staking documentation notes slashing as a possible future mechanism for intentional malicious conduct, but states that slashing is not implemented in the protocol today. Economic alignment instead currently arises primarily from staking participation, validator performance incentives, and the opportunity cost of locking capital in staking positions.
Fees Applicable on the Solana Blockchain
1. Transaction Fees:
Solana transactions require fees in SOL. The fee model consists of a base fee and, where used, an optional prioritisation fee. The base fee compensates signature verification work and is split between burn and validator compensation, while any prioritisation fee is paid to the validator.
2. Rent Fees:
Solana accounts that store on-chain state must satisfy the rent-exemption threshold, which is linked to the amount of data stored. This mechanism is intended to support efficient use of network state and account storage resources.
3. Program Execution Costs:
Deploying and interacting with on-chain programs may involve transaction fees and, where relevant, compute-related prioritisation fees and account-storage requirements. These mechanisms are intended to allocate network resources in proportion to use.
The following applies to TRON:
Super Representatives receive block production rewards for blocks they successfully produce. Current TRON documentation describes the block production reward as 8 units of the native crypto-asset per block, while an additional 128 units per block are allocated as voting rewards shared among SRs and SR partners based on votes received. SRs and SR partners may deduct a commission before distributing rewards to voters according to voting weight.
Transactions and smart-contract executions consume network resources. Standard transactions consume Bandwidth, while smart-contract deployment and execution also consume Energy. Users may obtain Bandwidth or Energy by staking the native crypto-asset. Where available resources are insufficient, the protocol burns the native crypto-asset to pay the applicable resource cost. The network also applies a dynamic Energy model, under which contracts that consume substantial resources during a maintenance cycle may require increased Energy in a subsequent cycle. TRON does not apply a conventional slashing mechanism, but failed or abnormal contract executions and the dynamic Energy model may result in higher resource deductions or costs.

S.8 Energy consumption
S.9 Energy consumption sources and methodologies
The energy consumption of this asset is aggregated across multiple components: To determine the energy consumption of a token, the energy consumption of the network Solana and TRON is calculated first. For the energy consumption of the token, a fraction of the energy consumption of the network is attributed to the token, which is determined based on the activity of the crypto-asset within the network. When calculating the energy consumption, the Functionally Fungible Group Digital Token Identifier (FFG DTI) is used - if available - to determine all implementations of the asset in scope. The mappings are updated regularly, based on data of the Digital Token Identifier Foundation. The information regarding the hardware used and the number of participants in the network is based on assumptions that are verified with best effort using empirical data. In general, participants are assumed to be largely economically rational. As a precautionary principle, we make assumptions on the conservative side when in doubt, i.e. making higher estimates for the adverse impacts.

To determine the proportion of renewable energy usage, the locations of the nodes are determined using public information sites, open-source and in-house-developed crawlers. Where no information is available on the geographic distribution of nodes, comparable reference networks are used, taking into account similarities in incentivisation structure and consensus mechanism. This geographic information is then combined with publicly available data from Our World in Data. The resulting intensity is calculated as the marginal energy consumption with respect to one additional transaction.
