The Hedge90 mechanism is made to limit the downside exposure for users investing in DedaCoin by creating a pseudo asset-backed token that holds proceeds from the direct sales of DedaCoin in the contract itself for trustless user-initiated buybacks.

The Hedge90 mechanism allows users to sell their tokens back to the contract to receive approximately 90% of their initial purchase price. A 4% fee is charged on Hedge90 transactions.

To ensure appropriate usage of the Hedge90 mechanism, if the underlying asset price is volatile and fluctuates more than 100 bps during the time between the initiation and execution of the transaction, the transactions are considered voided, and the user will need to re-initiate the hedge90 purchase.

The majority of the USDT proceeds for token sales are retained within the smart contract for sell-backs from users, removing any liquidity or counterparty risk and reducing the speculative volatility for investors.

Dual Smart Contract System:

• Price Feed Contract: This contract reads the price of DedaCoin from the DedaBit OTC site every hour.
• Main Contract: This contract inherits data from the price feed contract to maintain updated pricing information.

Advantages:

• Users can get back 90% of their initial investment if the token price drops, limiting their maximum downside exposure.
• The non-upgradeability of the smart contract ensures trust and security.
• Ensures liquidity is managed within the smart contract, reducing speculative volatility and counterparty risks.
• Tokens bought using Hedge90 are tradable on major global exchanges, with the unique advantage of the buyback guarantee if the price drops.

5.4 Hedge100 Mechanism [COMING SOON]

To foster adoption among SMEs and enterprises, the Deda team is developing a unique Hedge100 mechanism for DedaCoin on the Tron network. Using the hedge100 mechanism, retailers and businesses can transact in DedaCoin without any price action risk affecting their profitability. The Hedge100 is built to ensure that there is zero slippage in value for businesses, ensuring only upside exposure.

6. Managed Investments

DedaCoin is designed to be backed by real-world investments, creating intrinsic value for the token, hedging the ecosystem’s value, and ensuring stability and trust within the Deda community. The approach to managing investments includes diverse and secure methods to provide transparency and confidence in our financial activities.

Safe Investments: 30% of DedaCoin supply is sold and the proceeds are used for investing in low-risk investments such as gold, central bank deposits, and real estate. These investments are chosen for their stability and potential to preserve value over time, creating a stable asset base for Dedacoin.

Transparency: Investment details and profits are transparently reported, allowing the community to monitor the performance and security of these investments.

Blockchain-based Asset Management: We utilize smart contracts to manage assets within the blockchain space. These contracts provide a transparent and automated method of handling investments, reducing the risk of human error and enhancing trust. Complexities and niche features on the smart contract mechanisms are still under development.

Proprietary DedaChain Blockchain (Future Implementation): With the launch of DedaChain, our proprietary blockchain, we aim to manage assets directly on our platform. This method will optimize the management process and minimize transaction costs. The same smart contract principles will apply, ensuring transparency and efficiency. By transferring asset management to our blockchain, all information will be publicly accessible and verifiable, allowing for real-time auditing and swift updates.

7. Governance and Rewards

DedaCoin emphasizes community involvement and democratization within the Deda ecosystem, ensuring that token holders have a significant influence on the platform’s evolution and direction.

Governance and Voting:

DedaCoin token holders are empowered to participate in the governance of the ecosystem. By holding DedaCoins, users gain the ability to vote on key decisions and development programs. This includes, but is not limited to:

8. Security and Infrastructure

The Deda ecosystem prioritizes security and efficiency, focusing on transaction security, value preservation, and the development of proprietary blockchain technology to enhance transaction speed and reduce costs.

Transaction Security and Value Preservation

DedaCoin employs a robust security framework to ensure the safety of user assets and to maintain the stability of the token.

The DedaBit exchange integrates state-of-the-art security measures, including:

• Encryption: All transactions and user data are encrypted to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data integrity.

These measures collectively safeguard the Deda ecosystem, providing users with confidence in the security and reliability of their transactions.

Development of DedaChain

In a bid to further enhance transaction efficiency and reduce costs, DedaCoin is developing its proprietary blockchain, known as DedaChain. This dedicated blockchain infrastructure aims to address the scalability and speed limitations often encountered in other blockchain networks.

Key Features of DedaChain:

• Enhanced Transaction Speed: DedaChain is designed to process transactions at a higher speed, significantly reducing waiting times and improving user experience.
• Lower Transaction Costs: By optimizing the blockchain architecture, DedaChain aims to lower the transaction fees associated with digital currency transfers, making it more economical for users.
• Custom Security Protocols: DedaChain incorporates advanced security protocols tailored to the specific needs of the Deda ecosystem, ensuring robust protection against potential threats.

In addition to emphasizing transaction speed and security, DedaChain will introduce modern methods for both crypto and fiat transactions. Furthermore, it will offer a platform for managing physical assets on the blockchain, presenting a novel approach different from the traditional methods of Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization.

The integration of DedaChain into the Deda ecosystem represents a significant step forward in achieving greater efficiency and security. This development positions DedaCoin as a leading digital currency in the market. Details of DedaChain’s functionalities and capabilities will be revealed at its launch and included in future editions of the whitepaper.

By offering new innovative asset management solutions, DedaChain aims to set new standards in the blockchain space, ensuring that users benefit from the most advanced and secure technologies available.
