EARTH TRUST COIN

Environmental Stewardship with Value


Earth Trust Coin (ETC) is a neutral digital currency backed by the Earth's natural resources in the format of:

Land holding of 1 square Kilometer (approximately 247.1 acres) to 1 Earth Trust Coin
Gold 1 ounce carbon neutral certified physical Swiss Gold Bars to 1 Earth Trust Coin
Risk Lending of ETC to the ETC Risk Wallet for Project Liability Mitigation interest return

The ETC user, holder, and/or supporter enable holders of ETC to care for the environment with ease, while providing a neutral, reputable, ethically responsible, privacy focused, and useful digitally transactable store of value that is backed by a balance of both a sizable Land Trust holding that is responsibly managed, paired with one ounce PAMP Carbon Neutral (https://www.mkspamp.com/carbonverifiedproducts) Gold Bars (https://www.pamp.com/product/minted-ingots/carbon-neutral-lady-fortunatm-1oz-gold-minted-bar) per each 1 square Kilometer of land held. This 1:1 ratio of land holding to physical carbon neutral gold holdings in a gold vault, https://swissgoldsafe.ch located and insured in Switzerland, and is fully redeemable through a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Distributed Autonomous Organization (DAO) Buy/Sell Exchange.

Buy/Sell Orders for Earth Trust Coin (ETC) are facilitated directly through the Earth Trust Coin software wallet available on Apple Mac OS, Microsoft Windows, Linux, Apple iOS, and Android. Each holder of ETC can elect to buy or sell whole and/or fractional unit quantities of ETC on a first come, first served basis (i.e. First In, First Out). There is ability to cancel either the Buy/Sell transaction prior to transaction completion. During a Buy transaction, if a quantity greater than is available on the P2P exchange is requested, the trade request will automatically inform the requestor of the range of then available ETC quantity and place the Buyer in the que line to permit transaction upon availability of both line position in the Buy que and availability of the desired ETC. Smaller Buy requests will be processed prior to outstanding large Buy requests until such point when the quantity of ETC is available. The requestor can also choose to cancel large Buy orders before they are transacted in favor of smaller Buy orders, however their new Buy request amount will be treated as a new que line transaction request and the requestor will lose their que line position in the Buy request que line. The Sell request que line processes the requested ETC quantity Sell request quantity in such that the amount of a requestor Sell transaction will be fully depleted before moving to the next requestor in the que line. By way of example, if there are three Sellers all selling 3 ETC units each and a request for 7 ETC units is produced on the Buy request transaction que, the first que Seller will fully have their 3 ETC units depleted in a Sale transaction followed by the second que Seller with another 3 ETC units in a subsequent Sale transactions and then followed by a final 1 ETC unit Sale transaction from the third seller que line position. The first two sellers will have their sales completed and the third seller will have 1 of 3 ETC units sold, but still remain in the front of the Sale que line with the remaining 2 ETC units. The third seller would be able to maintain the Sale que line position with selling an additional 2 ETC units, but has the option to very promptly cancel the Sale request position of any additional ETC units before any further Sale request can be transacted. Only ETC can be bought and sold on the Earth Trust Coin Wallet application, however each Buyer and Seller are also preferentially assigned by desired alternative external cryptocurrency by each Buyer/Seller stated external cryptocurrency preference. This means each que line can potentially be somewhat unique as while ETC is only available to be bought or sold, the external cryptocurrency wallets must have preferential match to the Buyer/Seller as a primary requirement, with the line que concept being secondary. This is the same for all ETC Buyers/Sellers; 1st preference is external non-ETC cryptocurrency, 2nd preference is availability of ETC units meeting the requirements of the Buyer (i.e. there needs to be enough ETC units available before a large ETC Buy request order can be processed) while Sellers only remain in the sale que line until their sale request is completed or they are able to select cancel any further ETC unit sales, and 3rd preference is Buy/Sell line que date and time transaction request event itself. ETC can be exchanged P2P anywhere in the world as the availability is directly related to sequential private wallet transactions in the P2P Buy/Sell Exchange Community. If a 'Whale Transaction' or otherwise specific P2P Exchange transaction (i.e. buy or selling ETC along with another cryptocurrency) occurs that is either higher in value or quantity of ETC available from all available P2P Wallets, then each of these so called Whale Transactions will sit in the Buy/Sell transaction que until such time ETC is available to meet the transaction, however each of these Whale Transactions will retain the preferential date and time transaction place holder amongst such larger or otherwise similar and respectively specific transactions.

There is also an advanced Earth Trust Coin Project Risk Wallet that pays out ETC (similar to a catastrophe ILS risk bond payment) in exchange for the ETC holder Risk Lending (ETC Risk Lending tributes may hold or loose value, but the individual Risk Lender's wallet is credited with new ETC the first of the following month after the prior month in which ETC was placed in the ETC Risk Wallet on or before the prior first of the month) ETC to the Earth Trust Coin Project to mitigate liability risk. It is a risk and reward mechanism that allows ETC holders to move ETC from their own wallets to pay tribute to the Earth Trust Coin Project in support of absorbing risk for which they are guaranteed a return similar to a bond payment. ETC is designed with both environmental stewardship and value in mind. While the carbon netural gold holding acts as a low value float, the improvement of the value of the associate Earth Trust Coin Project land acts as a high value float. The Risk Lending acts as a voluntary enhanced earning vehicle within the Earth Trust Coin Project and operates within the Earth Trust Coin Wallet Application, but does have risk of loss of ETC in the event of an associated liability event. Liability events are listed in writing and only updated once per year, similar to a risk indemnification contract. A trusted third-party attorney reviews Earth Trust Coin Project related liability events against the list of covered indeminifcation events, produces an update to the Earth Trust Coin Community through the Earth Trust Coin Wallet Application so all Earth Trust Coin Wallet Application Risk Lenders can view the full chronological history of liability occurrences. The Earth Trust Coin Project then deducts the experienced liability cost from the aggregate of all contributed ETC into the Risk Lending Wallet as a percentage of each contributing Earth Trust Coin Wallet address as a percentage. The Risk Lending ETC rate of return is fixed at the beginning of each year as a fixed percentage. The amount of ETC contributed to the Risk Lending Wallet can be returned in whole or fractional portion as a percentage or ETC unit amount of holdings remaining in the Earth Trust Coin Risk Lending Wallet. Processing time between transfer in and out of the Earth Trust Coin Risk Lending Wallet is only limited to the Earth Trust Coin Project's ability to process transactions within the blockchain.

The land, gold, and technology are managed to the benefit of the Earth and the Earth Trust Coin Project with Risk Lending and the gold holdings are carbon neutral, secured in a gold vault in Switzerland, and reputably insured. This results in a financial, legal, and environmental scenario that causes a positive impact on the lives of all individuals and societies around the Earth regardless where they live and independent if they utilize ETC themselves.

The creation of each ETC is linked to the equivalent aggregation and allocation of both not less than 1 square Kilometer of Land and 1 ounce Gold as described above by the Trustee. Given the Land requirement limitations of not less than 1 square Kilometer of land area required for creation of 1 ETC and the fact that the Earth's surface contains approximately 510,100,000 square Kilometers of surface area, the actual maximum number of ETC is therefore defined. The anticipated number of ETC in circulation is anticipated to approach 150,000,000, if ever achieved in creation as the remaining Earth surface area is under the legal adherence by most nations known as international water. This means the actual number of ETC can be only between 0 to 510,100,000, but will prospectively be limited towards the approximately 150,000,000. Carbon neutral gold at the one ounce aggregate amount does not pose a limitation in respect to future carbon neutral gold. The creation rate of new ETC is random and is only limited upon Earth Trust Coin Project resources, however the minimum value is buffered with the Land and Gold reserves as described. The Land is sourced by the Trustee from any and all land resource located around the surface of the Earth regardless of political affiliation.

A truly Global digital currency with respect for the planet, societies, and the individual.

WHERE IS ETC OPERATED?

ETC's underlying technology is globally hosted and operated in such a manner that transactions occur and do not take place within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of any one particular nation. Assets held in trust are securely located and intelligently insured in Switzerland. The Earth Trust Coin Foundation is virtual, but functions to monitor the technology and environmental stewardship policies and does not control the ETC in itself. The original digital land Deeds and physical certified carbon neutral gold bars are administered in Switzerland and are quite literally physically located inside a Swiss Gold Vault in the country of Switzerland with lock and key, security, and insurance of the gold reserve in the event of theft, loss, or damage by a known reputable insurer. ETC is a virtual and globally utilized digital store of value for economic transactions with those individuals or organizations that desire to produce financial transactions in an environmental and socially responsible manner with ethical governance (ESG) and desirably private respectable manner with no physical boundaries.

ETHICAL VALUES
