Trading Bitcarbon

Once approved by a vote by the DAO, Bitcarbon will be permitted to trade, by removing restrictions on transferring and enabling free movement of the token.

Sources of Fees to Support the Carats Protocol (and commodity Custody)

To generate income for the Bitcarbon Foundation to pay for custody, development and operations, the Carats Smart Contract supports the collection of fees based on the total assets in the Carats reserve (AUM), commodity conversion, and the volume of Carats transactions:

1. A slow inflation in the Carats Ratio so that users share proportionally in the costs of physical custody, generating additional Carats without diminishing each users’ balance;

2. Fees for the conversion between Diamond Standard Commodities and Carats;

3. Fees for transactions of Carats, added to the gas fees collected by blockchain platforms.

The Bitcarbon Foundation determined the nature and amount of initial fees collected by the Carats Smart Contract, and Bitcarbon holders may vote on changes.
