Concrete (CT) Price

CT is the native governance and configuration token of the Concrete ecosystem. It is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum with a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens and no inflation mechanism; in other words, the protocol does not continuously issue additional CT under inflation rules to change that total. CT is designed to allow eligible participants to take part in certain protocol functions by locking or staking it in accordance with the rules, rather than to grant ownership of the Concrete protocol or its assets. CT does not carry equity, debt, dividends, profit sharing, or claims on protocol assets; therefore, holding, locking, or staking CT is distinct from obtaining those rights.

The main purpose of locking CT is to participate in protocol governance within the specified scope. After eligible holders lock CT, they may participate in governance over strategy approvals, collateral classifications, fee frameworks, treasury-related policies, and other authorized parameter or module settings; the matters available for participation and the applicable authority are subject to the governance framework and smart contract rules in effect at the time. The mechanism follows this path: holders first lock CT according to the rules, the locked status becomes the basis for participation eligibility or weight, and the governance process then proposes, votes on, and executes defined matters. This does not mean that any holder can directly change the protocol, nor does it mean that all governance matters have already been fully delegated to token voting; Concrete states that governance will gradually transition from multisig management to a timelock mechanism for token governance.

CT "locking for governance" and "staking for configuration" should not be conflated. Locking is for defined governance participation; staking CT may allow users to adjust certain protocol-side fees applicable to their own interactions in supported Concrete modules, depending on preset technical parameters and applicable rules. Therefore, fee adjustments apply to a user's own protocol interactions within supported modules, rather than distributing protocol fees or other users' fees to CT holders. Whether this applies, which modules are included, and the extent of an adjustment are all determined by the relevant contracts and governance rules; "configuring fees" must not be understood as fixed income or a distribution of protocol revenue.

Concrete's CT page presents options to claim and stake CT alongside earning Concrete Points, but points are not the same concept as CT ownership rights, governance authority, or protocol fee adjustments. Points reflect the points mechanism described on the page; CT's governance and configuration functions respectively depend on locking or staking and the applicable rules. In operational order, users should first confirm that they are using the official claiming or staking portal, then verify the network, interacting contract, token amount, and transaction fee in the wallet prompt before submitting an on-chain transaction. Claiming, staking, and locking each create different on-chain states; a confirmed transaction does not automatically mean that all subsequent eligibility or benefits have been obtained, as the conditions of the relevant mechanism must still be met.

The Concrete Foundation is responsible for long-term coordination of Concrete protocol governance and holds and manages the CT treasury; treasury resources may be used for protocol development and maintenance, security and audits, ecosystem integrations, infrastructure, and foundation governance and administrative expenses. It provides a governance and treasury coordination structure, rather than giving CT holders direct ownership of the foundation or treasury assets. CT is issued by Concrete Network, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands subsidiary of the Concrete Foundation, which is also responsible for the CT crypto-asset white paper and seeking its admission to trading. Distinguishing the foundation's coordination and treasury role, the issuer's issuance responsibilities, and CT holders' limited governance or configuration functions helps avoid misreading the project's organizational structure as a token claim on assets.
