Question 1

What are Creditcoin and CTC?

Accepted Answer

Creditcoin is a blockchain ecosystem built around credit transaction records and credit markets, and CTC is its token name. In this entry, CTC specifically refers to the ERC-20 version on Ethereum, namely G-CRE; it must not be regarded as the same asset on the same network as native Creditcoin mainnet CTC merely because they share a name. Distinguishing versions is important because the network on which an asset resides determines the wallets that can be used, the fee asset, cross-chain or swap paths, and whether it can directly participate in mainnet functions.

Question 2

Which type of token is the CTC referred to here?

Accepted Answer

The CTC referred to here is Ethereum ERC-20 CTC (G-CRE). Official materials position it as the exchange-related version of CTC and explain that it has a conversion relationship with native CTC within the Creditcoin network. Native CTC operates on the Creditcoin network, while G-CRE follows Ethereum's ERC-20 standard. Their similar names do not mean their functions automatically interoperate; the network and token version must be confirmed before transfers or operations.

Question 3

What roles does CTC have in the Creditcoin network?

Accepted Answer

Native CTC on the Creditcoin network can be used for staking, governance, validator participation, and transaction fees on that Substrate chain; CTC on the EVM layer can be used for smart contracts and decentralized application gas fees. These uses describe the roles of the respective network versions. The G-CRE referred to in this entry is the Ethereum ERC-20 version, so merely holding G-CRE does not mean you already hold native CTC that can directly pay Creditcoin mainnet fees or participate in mainnet staking or governance. To use these mainnet functions, the asset version must first meet the network's requirements.

Question 4

How is the supply of CTC (G-CRE) designed?

Accepted Answer

Official materials state that G-CRE has a maximum tradable supply of 600 million tokens, that this version is issued according to a vesting schedule, and that minting has been disabled. Maximum tradable supply is the cap for this ERC-20 version; it is not the same as the quantity circulating in the market at any given time. Vesting affects when tokens become available or tradable; disabled minting means that this version's quantity can no longer be increased through that minting function. Official materials also state that G-CRE that has been burned or converted to mainnet tokens will not cause this ERC-20 version to be reissued.

Question 5

Can G-CRE and mainnet CTC be converted into each other?

Accepted Answer

G-CRE can be converted one-way to Creditcoin mainnet CTC at 1:1: for every 1 G-CRE converted, 1 mainnet CTC is received. This ratio describes the quantity conversion relationship, but does not mean the two versions can be switched back and forth at any time. The conversion is one-way. After it is completed, the user holds CTC for the mainnet environment and cannot convert that mainnet CTC back into G-CRE; official materials also state that converted G-CRE will not cause a replacement amount to be reminted for this ERC-20 version. Therefore, before converting, determine whether you need the exchange/ERC-20 version or the mainnet version's functions.

Question 6

What should be considered before using CTC?

Accepted Answer

Before using G-CRE, first confirm that the recipient requires Ethereum ERC-20 CTC rather than native CTC or another wrapped version. The network, address format, and token standard must match the target process; identical names are not proof of compatibility. If a cross-network transfer or conversion is involved, also confirm which version the asset will become after the operation is completed. In particular, after G-CRE is converted to mainnet CTC, it cannot be restored back to G-CRE, so this process must not be treated as an ordinary transfer that can be reversed at any time.

Question 7

What is the difference between wCTC and G-CRE?

Accepted Answer

wCTC is a wrapped version of mainnet CTC on other networks, intended to allow the mainnet asset to be transferred on other chains or used in decentralized-finance scenarios. Its fundamental relationship is “mainnet CTC represented on another network after wrapping,” rather than an alias for G-CRE on Ethereum. Therefore, the difference between wCTC and G-CRE is not only in the name: the former arises from the cross-chain wrapping relationship of mainnet CTC, while the latter is ERC-20 CTC for which official materials separately describe supply and conversion arrangements. Wrapping or unwrapping does not mean converting wCTC into G-CRE.

Question 8

What risks are involved when converting or transferring CTC across chains?

Accepted Answer

During conversion or cross-chain transfers, the most important risk is treating different versions as the same reversible asset. The 1:1 conversion from G-CRE to mainnet CTC is one-way; once completed, it cannot be restored to G-CRE through the same path. In addition, each network may use different addresses, wallet support, and fee arrangements. Before executing, verify the sending network, receiving network, target asset version, and required fee asset; these checks respectively determine whether the asset arrives, whether it is the expected version upon arrival, and whether the next operation can be completed.

Question 9

Why can't the supplies of all CTC versions simply be added together?

Accepted Answer

They cannot simply be added together, because G-CRE, native mainnet CTC, and wCTC are not independent parallel supply measures for the same version. G-CRE has its own ERC-20 maximum tradable supply and one-way conversion rules, while wCTC is a wrapped representation of mainnet CTC on other networks. If a wrapped representation and its underlying mainnet asset are added together, the same economic basis may be counted twice; if G-CRE is then included without distinction, its separate version and conversion mechanism are ignored. Before analyzing supply, first determine which network and version are being measured and whether double counting has been avoided.

Question 10

What problem does Creditcoin primarily address?

Accepted Answer

One of Creditcoin's goals is to record credit transactions and loan performance, create publicly verifiable credit histories, and support cross-chain credit markets. The focus is on putting credit-related transaction records into a verifiable onchain environment, rather than merely conducting ordinary token transfers. CTC is the token entry point to different networks and functions in this ecosystem, but its specific role depends on the version: native CTC serves mainnet roles, while G-CRE is the Ethereum ERC-20 version referred to in this entry. When understanding project uses and token uses, always keep the two distinct.

Question 11

Can CTC directly pay network transaction fees?

Accepted Answer

It cannot directly pay Creditcoin mainnet transaction fees. Mainnet fees are paid with native CTC within the Creditcoin network; G-CRE is the ERC-20 version on Ethereum, and the two are on different networks. The practical implication of this distinction is that even if an account holds G-CRE, it cannot directly use it as the fee asset for mainnet transactions. To perform mainnet operations, users need native CTC that meets mainnet requirements and the corresponding network environment.

Question 12

What does CTC staking refer to?

Accepted Answer

Staking in Creditcoin is a network mechanism that uses native CTC to support validation or nominate validators. Participants delegate or take part in validation under network rules and may receive corresponding rewards; eligibility and reward outcomes depend on the specific conditions of that mechanism. This is not a direct function of G-CRE on Ethereum. If a user holds the G-CRE covered by this entry, they must first distinguish it from native CTC; mainnet staking is considered only once the asset is in the applicable mainnet version and participation environment.
