CLE (Clean Energy Coin)

The Clean Energy Coin (CLE) is a core utility token within the Edma Network, designed to facilitate ESG-compliant payments, sustainability incentives, and DeFi integrations in the renewable energy ecosystem.

CLE Utility & Functions

1. Minting Process

• CLE is minted alongside ETT.

• 70% of CLE is sent to the supplier, 30% is retained by the platform.

• Every 10 kWh of energy production mints 1 CLE for the first 10 years, then shifts to 1 CLE per 20 kWh.

2. ESG Payments & Incentives

• CLE can be used to pay for carbon offset services, energy tracking fees, and sustainability-linked financial instruments.

• Users can also choose between $EDM and CLE to pay the transaction fees.

3. Marketplace Transactions

• CLE is a tradable asset within Edma’s decentralized energy marketplace and within other CEX or DEX that will be announced at the moment of launch

• Will be used to purchase solar panels, EV charging credits, and clean energy-related services.

4. DeFi & Staking Rewards

• CLE is stakable within Edma’s DeFi ecosystem, allowing users to earn rewards for securing the network.

• Used as collateral in energy-backed lending and liquidity pools.

Total Supply & Distribution

CLE follows a controlled issuance model to ensure a balanced supply and maintain ecosystem sustainability.

• Supply cap for CLE is set to 100B coins

• Each energy supplier has a 10 years production cap.

• After 10 years, the minting is done for every 20KWh of energy production.

Burning & Scarcity Mechanisms

CLE incorporates burning mechanisms to ensure long-term value appreciation.

1. ESG Payment Burns

When ETT is converted into an NFT, 50% of the CLE will be burned

2. Transaction Fee Burns

If the user chooses CLE as a governance token, the marketplace and DeFi transaction fees will burn 50% of the transaction fee to reduce the supply

3. Buyback & Burn Program

Edma allocates revenue from sustainability services to buy back and burn CLE, ensuring deflationary pressure.
