PRODUCTO 1 TOKEN QUE REPRESENTA ORO: este token representa un gramo de oro proveniente de las reservas mineras que fueron previamente exploradas y validadas por el informe NI 43-101 del Gobierno de Canadá. El informe indicará la oferta total de tokens a emitir y su valor estará vinculado al valor internacional del oro.

PRODUCTO 2 TOKEN DE PROYECTO: este token representará una posición dentro del proyecto en la que el usuario decide mover el 50% de la liquidez que tiene del token #1. Le permitirá recibir recompensas por el desempeño del proyecto, tener poder de decisión sobre diversos asuntos relacionados con el proyecto, sin dejar de estar garantizado en oro.

Resolución de problemas: El oro es un activo deseable para proteger de la inflación, pero conlleva un gran coste medioambiental y tiene elevados gastos de almacenamiento y seguridad sin generar ningún beneficio para su propietario. La restauración del medio ambiente, incluso deseable, a menudo no se realiza, ya que se la considera un coste en lugar de un negocio. En Alternun creamos explotación digital, que consiste en la tokenización de reservas de oro no minadas (auditadas y medidas por el informe NI 43 101). Este token permitirá a los usuarios colateralizar en oro y también mover parte de su liquidez al desarrollo de proyectos regenerativos de los cuales podrán obtener recompensas económicas y al mismo tiempo contribuir a la regeneración del planeta, el desarrollo social y la creación de nuevas compensaciones.

Mecanismo operativo: Alternun allows users to mint gold-backed tokens using the unmined gold reserves as collateral. The liquidity created by minting the tokens will be kept in the mining project vault until it’s time to vote to develop regenerative projects (producing economic value while having a positive environmental impact) proposed by the holders, at which time the liquidity is released to finance the projects. Once the projects are functioning, a portion of the money generated by those projects will be distributed amongst token holders. The project aims to develop a decentralized blockchain protocol built on the Stellar network. This protocol will facilitate various financial and governance activities within a digital ecosystem, enabling users to transact, stake tokens, vote on proposals, and engage in community governance.

Key Features:

Wallet Integration: Users can connect their wallets to the platform, allowing them to securely manage their digital assets and participate in platform activities.

Decentralized Application (DApp): The platform offers a user-friendly DApp accessible via a web interface. This DApp provides functionalities such as viewing account positions, minting tokens, swapping assets within the ecosystem, voting on proposals, and staking tokens for projects.

Third-Party KYC Integration: To ensure compliance and security, the platform integrates with third-party KYC services. Users must undergo KYC verification before accessing certain features like voting or staking.

Smart Contract System: Leveraging the Stellar blockchain's smart contract capabilities, the protocol implements various smart contracts to execute token minting, swapping, voting, and staking operations securely and transparently.

Staking Rewards Mechanism: Users can stake their tokens to support regenerative projects within the ecosystem. A global staking threshold is established, and if reached, new tokens are minted and distributed to stakers as rewards. The minimum amount to stake is controlled by the platform administrator.

Governance Mechanism: The platform enables community governance through voting on proposals. Users can submit proposals and vote on community initiatives, ensuring decentralized decision-making and participation.

We consider that Alternun is a great contribution to the Stellar blockchain, adding a project that integrates real-world assets, regeneration, DAO, and a disruptive and innovative idea that redefine the way in which gold mining has been done until today in the world.
