To build a global energy settlement and liquidity network where:

energy is tokenized
contracts settle in seconds
capital flows without friction
compliance and privacy can coexist

Why XRP Ledger

3 to 5 secondssettlement finality

Minimal feeslow transaction costs

Native DEXbuilt in exchange functionality

Trustlinesbuilt in token issuance

Pathfindingliquidity routing

These features eliminate the need for complex smart contract layers for basic exchange and settlement.

System Architecture

4.1 Network Layer

Network Layer EDX

used for staking, governance, and collateral

4.2 Core Principle

All value accrues to EDX

Token Design

5.1 EDX Token

EDX Token

Type: XRPL issued token
Total Supply: 100,000,000,000 (100 Billion EDX)
Decimals: 6

5.1.1 Utility

EDX is used for:

staking for access tiers
governance
collateral for derivatives and forward energy contracts
liquidity incentives
value accrual via fee buybacks

5.1.2 Velocity Design

EDX is designed to be low velocity
large portions are locked via staking and collateral

XRPL Implementation Model

6.1

Token Issuance

EDX is issued via an XRPL issuer account
trustline mechanism required for holding

6.2

Native DEX Integration

EDX market access uses native XRPL order books, subject to available market liquidity.

6.3

Pathfinding

XRPL pathfinding finds routes between supported assets based on available liquidity.

6.4

Transaction Costs

XRPL fee model:

~10 drops per transaction
negligible cost even at scale
