Key Market Gaps vs Edma PoV

Why this page

Most “RWA DeFi” breaks on contact with reality: PDFs as truth, loose oracles, re-hypothecated IOUs, bridges that duplicate claims, and payouts that ignore performance. EDMA’s DeFi sits on the settlement rail, so finance inherits the same brakes and receipts as trade and tokens.

Non-negotiables that never change:

  • No EMT, no funds

  • Must-fund before shipping

  • One-Claim

  • Locked EDSD → Unlocked EDSD only on proof

  • 50% of every protocol fee burns in EDM (at event)

  • ETT is proof-only (never collateral)

  • EDSD is platform-bound

  • Bridges mint representations only—EDMA remains canonical

A. The gaps we found

  • Paper truth / oracle drift — tokenized “assets” point to PDFs and reputations; serials get reused; “green” claims are not auditable.

  • Unbound lending — loans against illiquid, ambiguously owned NFTs; off-rail IOUs; “yield” unrelated to performance.

  • Receivables that prepay hope — cash moves before the event; LCs and prepayment friction stay; must-fund is a suggestion.

  • Liquidations that break reality — forced sales while underlying rights are frozen/disputed; price games on thin markets.

  • Bridge duplication — the same fact monetized on multiple chains; no single “home.”

  • No receipts — audit is reconstruction; burns are marketing, not ledgers.

  • Privacy vs compliance — show too much (PII leakage) or too little (unverifiable claims).

B. What EDMA changes

Market gap

EDMA PoV fix

Paper/oracle truth

PoV Gate admits dossiers only when schema + quorum + equality on bytes pass; One-Claim finalizes uniqueness; mirrors bind a serial to one claim; Revocation freezes narrowly and appends corrections.

Unbound lending

CollateralVault holds PoV-minted, One-Claim FINAL, not-frozen Energy/Carbon NFTs; no rehypothecation; every pledge references the same PoV hash; borrowing/health are pure math on top.

Prepaying hope

EMT receivables are funded-on-proof: nothing pays until EMT PASS and tranche is must-funded; Assurance Pool can front after PASS only, and recovers by waterfall.

Break-reality liquidations

Liquidate only eligible collateral (not frozen, oracle-priced); Dutch / order-book sweeps with backstop; never force Trade cash; return surplus.

Bridge duplication

EDMA is canonical; bridges mint representations carrying claim_id/pov_hash; unlocks require burn proofs; One-Claim blocks duplicate inbound proofs.

No receipts

Every value event emits FeeBurned (hash), and proof pages show PoV hash, claim_id, burn hash, mirror status; escrow & PoR reconcile daily.

Privacy vs compliance

Redactions (salted commitments) + optional ZK statements (e.g., temp in range) keep PII out while proving enough; auditors verify against the same PoV hash.

C. Before / after

Topic

“Typical RWA DeFi”

EDMA PoV

Collateral

NFT points to PDF; serial ambiguous

PoV-minted NFT, One-Claim FINAL, mirror ACTIVE, vault-held

Receivable

Off-rail IOU; pre-event cash

On-rail allocation, settles only on EMT PASS + must-fund

Liquidation

Forced even when rights are disputed

Blocked if FROZEN; partial Dutch/OB; backstop; surplus returned

Bridge

Multi-chain “truth”

EDMA home; reps unlock only with burn proof

Audit

Manual, delayed

Receipts + burn hash + PoV hash; replay from L1 blobs

Privacy

PII in docs or unverifiable

Redactions + ZK bound to PoV hash

D. Where the economics align

  • Burns are programmatic: Tokens 2% of GMV; Trade ~0.25% per tranche (until caps). DeFi never discounts the burn; it adds usage by making more events settle on time.

  • Treasury-half funds trust: attestors (SLA-weighted), ops, builders, ecosystem, stakers; rebates/rewards only from treasury half—burn half is sacrosanct.

  • Lower WCR, same truth: EMT receivables + Supplier Advance reduce seller working-capital without pre-proof leakage.

E. KPIs that prove the change

  • Burn coverage = 100% of settle/release events (every receipt has a burn hash)

  • Duplicate block rate > 99.9% (One-Claim)

  • EMT→Release p95 ≤ 15s (business latency)

  • Must-fund cures p95 ≤ 48h (Assurance fronts only after PASS)

  • Liquidation loss rate (principal) = 0; time-to-fill p95 ≤ 6h per lot

  • Audit replay success = 100%; PoR freshness 100% daily

  • Privacy compliance 100% redactable paths carry salted commitments

F. What we refuse to do

  • Accept ETT (proof-only) or wrapped assets as collateral.

  • Front receivables before EMT PASS, or while PENDING_FUNDS within SLA.

  • Liquidate frozen tokens or force Trade cash.

  • “Rebate the burn,” “burn gas,” or let governance vote away brakes.

  • Bridge EDSD or let bridges create second truths.

G. Integration playbooks

  • Financiers: Pledge PoV-minted Carbon/Energy NFTs; subscribe to HF/margin hooks; use Dutch/OB auctions; optional Assurance mandates on must-fund lanes.

  • Insurers: Offer parametric covers bound to PoV hash (temp, delay); price by lane history; pay in EDSD.

  • Auditors / Corporates: Pull proof packs; match PoV hash, mirror serials, and burn hashes; replay blobs.

  • Attestors: Onboard to the Registry; publish SLAs; pass random re-inspection; earn from attestors’ share of treasury half.

Drawing

Plain recap

The market gaps are old: pay on promises, settle off-rail, double-use serials, force sales in disputes, and call it “DeFi.” EDMA replaces that with proof-gated finance: assets exist because PoV says so; receivables pay because EMT PASS + must-fund happened; collateral sells only when eligible; burns happen only when value is realized. The outcome is boring in the best way: facts → PASS → money → 50% EDM burn → receipts—and nothing else moves.
