System Overview

EDMA is a Layer 2 settlement rail governed by Proof of Verification (PoV): nothing settles until real-world evidence is independently verified.

In practice: no evidence → no token → no settlement.

Data from meters, sensors, registries, and logistics systems is signed at the source, cross-checked by independent attestors, and anchored on-chain. Verified events mint proof objects at minimal gas cost; those proofs back market assets. When assets are moved or retired, settlement occurs in $EDM, and 50% of every fee burns.

Lifecycle at a Glance

Evidence → Proof → Asset → Settlement (EDM) → Burn → Audit trail on Ethereum

Runtime Rules (consistent across all routes)

  • Mints & conversions: gas-minimal on EDMA L2 (proof creation should be practically free).

  • Settlement: in $EDM; route-specific fees enforced on-chain; 50% of every fee burns.

  • Energy & Carbon: 4% total (2% buyer + 2% seller).

  • Commodity milestones: 0.5% per tranche, capped (enterprise-friendly).

The Result

A single settlement rail where value moves on verified reality, not paperwork:

  • Faster time-to-cash

  • Lower dispute rates

  • Audit-ready records by default
