Question 1

What is EDEN?

Accepted Answer

EDEN is the native utility and value-alignment token of the OpenEden ecosystem. Project documentation describes its uses as participating in OpenEden's long-term development, accessing specific fee structures and priority participation opportunities in new tokenized RWA products, and taking part in key proposals. These uses serve OpenEden's tokenized real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem and should not be confused with specific tokenized assets issued by OpenEden. Holding EDEN does not itself mean directly holding a particular underlying RWA; eligibility, fees, and availability for different products remain subject to the rules of the relevant product.

Question 2

What happens after staking EDEN?

Accepted Answer

Users can stake EDEN and receive xEDEN; xEDEN is a value-accruing token used to incentivize and support governance participation. Its core mechanism is not manually claiming rewards transaction by transaction, but automatic compounding in the contract according to the token design: as rewards accumulate, the amount of EDEN redeemable per xEDEN increases. Accordingly, “the amount of xEDEN” should be viewed separately from “the amount of EDEN redeemable.” The former is the number of staked-token units held, while the latter depends on the exchange relationship at that time; the documentation describes a mechanism under which xEDEN can be exchanged for more EDEN, rather than promising a fixed interest rate or fixed redemption value.

Question 3

How can I participate in OpenEden governance?

Accepted Answer

Participation in OpenEden governance requires first holding staked xEDEN and delegating xEDEN to yourself or another address; only delegated xEDEN activates voting power, which increases with the delegated amount. Before a vote, proposals are discussed in the Discord governance forum and then voted on through Tally. Governance is currently being rolled out in phases. During the initial phase, only proposals submitted by the OpenEden Foundation are considered, with community proposal submission planned to open later under clear guidance. Therefore, “being able to vote” does not mean that every token holder can currently submit a governance proposal directly.

Question 4

What are EDEN's total supply and allocation structure?

Accepted Answer

EDEN has a total supply of 1 billion tokens. The official allocation is: Ecosystem & Community 41.22%, Team & Advisors 20.00%, Investors 15.28%, Foundation 10.00%, Bills Airdrop 7.50%, and Early Adopters 6.00%. These percentages add up to the total supply, but do not mean that all categories enter the tradable market at the same time. Initial availability also depends on the respective unlock conditions: the Ecosystem & Community category unlocks at TGE, but its day-one unlock percentage is listed as 34.75%; the Bills Airdrop is 21.3% on day one, and Early Adopters are 10% on day one. Therefore, supply should be assessed by considering the total amount, category, and specific unlock schedule together, rather than using 1 billion tokens alone to infer immediate circulating supply.

Question 5

How are Ecosystem & Community tokens used?

Accepted Answer

The Ecosystem & Community category represents 41.22% of the total supply and is used to support staking rewards, liquidity mining, exchange-listing support, liquidity provision, and other ecosystem-participation incentives; it also includes 2.5 million EDEN allocated to the Bills airdrop. It is a resource category reserved for ecosystem activity, not an automatic allocation to any individual holder. This category unlocks at TGE, while the official information also lists a day-one unlock percentage of 34.75%. Therefore, “category unlock” and “the amount actually entering the market or being claimed on a given day” should be understood separately; actual tradability can also be affected by distribution, claiming, and usage paths.

Question 6

How do EDEN allocations vest for the team, investors, and Foundation?

Accepted Answer

The 15.28% allocation to investors and the 20.00% allocation to the team and advisors each have at least a 6-month cliff, followed by linear vesting over 24 months. Under this arrangement, no monthly vesting occurs during the cliff; allocations begin to be released on a linear schedule over the following 24 months only after the cliff ends. The Foundation receives 10.00%, of which 20% unlocks initially and the remainder is subject to cliff and vesting arrangements. Vesting describes when scheduled allocations are obtained, not a price-protection mechanism; it also does not change EDEN's total supply of 1 billion tokens.

Question 7

How should the relationship between xEDEN and EDEN be understood when unstaking?

Accepted Answer

When unstaking, it is important to distinguish xEDEN's value-accrual mechanism from EDEN's available balance: by design, xEDEN can be redeemed for more EDEN, reflecting rewards that have accumulated automatically in the contract. Before initiating redemption, users should confirm the exchange amount and operating conditions applicable at that time in the contract or official interface they use. Selling xEDEN and redeeming it for EDEN are also not the same concept. Redemption depends on the protocol-specified exchange process; if secondary-market trading exists, its execution price is determined by that market's liquidity and orders and may not equal the contract exchange relationship.
