WHAT ARE ENABLE TOKENS?
EnAble Tokens are created through a series of transactions beginning with a bilateral contract between members of the SustainAble Exchange.
The SustainAble Exchange platform engages enterprise clients, and, additionally, provides a marketplace utility for enterprise clients to deliver EnAble Tokens to important constituents including employees, customers and their local communities.
WHY TOKENS?
The marketplace for digital assets has developed largely because they allow global buyers & sellers to participate without artificial barriers.
Buyers & holders derive incremental value from holding a credit due to its exchange value with a specific counter party (e.g., a taxpayer pursuing a project for a renewable energy credit that requires ‘tax capacity’ and has limited transferability).
EnAble Tokens are exchangeable on our exchange and across various ESG categories and among global buyers & sellers.
Our exchange prices the EnAble Tokens across various areas of impact (climate change, clean water & air, DEI&B, affordable housing, food supply, mental health, etc) based upon supply and demand for each Token.
EnAble Tokens are created at the point of transaction between global vendors and purchasers and can be exploited across a large global network.
WHO CREATES THEM?
EnAble Tokens are created by global corporations, governments, universities, NGOs and others.
WHEN & HOW ARE THEY CREATED?
EnAble Tokens are created as bilateral contracts at point of transaction in the manner deemed most relevant by market participants.
SCALABILITY?
Exchangeability across a large global network of vendors, corporate purchasers, government & municipal purchasers, university purchasers and other parties.
VALUE PROPOSITION
Anyone with an internet connection can now invest in sustainability, making social impact investing accessible to everyday people, not just institutional giants.
DEMOCRATIZATION OF IMPACT
EnAble Tokens can be broken down into smaller units, allowing investors to participate in large-scale projects with smaller amounts of capital.
FRACTIONAL OWNERSHIP
LIQUIDITY BOOST
Active trading markets provide liquidity for ESG projects, attracting more investors and fueling further growth.
System-enabled traceability ensures investors know exactly where their money is going and the impact it's creating.
ENHANCED TRANSPARENCY
ENABLE TOKENS
BECOME ‘ESG CURRENCY’
CONTRACT TERMS
Embedding EnAble Tokens in a purchase or sale contract can result in a net adjustment to the contract in multiple ways:
probability of contract acceptance, net price with discount / premium, payment terms, creation of additional tokens upon contract completion / extension / recurrence, etc.
INVESTING
EnAble Tokens provide holders with the ability to invest in participating social impact venture stage companies, with a matching feature for employees of the funding organizations.
LOYALTY
EnAble Tokens can be transferred in fractional form to employees and customers via their digital wallets, in a new form of loyalty program.
DONATIONS
EnAble Tokens can be used to make donations to select social impact causes, with each token having a backed reserve amount which is funded over time through portion of member transactions.
PROBLEMS WE SOLVE
Carbon credits generally rely on the needs of a “polluting” purchaser for a holder of carbon credits to receive full value; and ETC are only valuable in the possession of a holder with sufficient taxable income in the relevant jurisdiction.
Verification of carbon credits & project technology
has been an issue.
ETCs are partially driven by political priorities and require buyers to have ‘tax capacity’ to realize after-tax value.
The universe of CC & ETC buyers & sellers is very limited,
and thus adoption has been limited.CC and ETC credits are government-driven,
and thus have limitations on size and use.CC & ETC are not fungible with other credits – for example,
a company cannot exchange a carbon credit for a low-income housing credit – which limits adoption and use.
Carbon Credits (‘CC’) &
Energy Tax Credits (‘ETC’)
Have limited use in solving global climate & environment issues.
The value of CC & ETC is also driven by regulatory forces in multiple jurisdictions, with change of law & regulations being an uncontrolled externality on value.
CC & ETC may have defined duration of use.
MONETIZATION
Anyone with an internet connection can now invest in sustainability, making social impact investing accessible
to everyday people, not just institutional giants.
CONTRACT CREATION
CONTRACT TRADING / TRANSFER
Parties use the platform to create bilateral ESG contracts. A fee is charged for contract creation.
This may include a white label version.
Inflation Reduction Act included the ability to transfer certain US tax credits. There is not a current dedicated exchange for these transfers.
Since the ESG platform covers energy and many of these credits are renewable energy credits, the platform may be used for identifying counterparties for potential transfer plus creation of new bilateral EnAble Tokens that are private contracts.
TAX CREDIT TRANSFERS
Parties pay an annual subscription fee to participate in platform, which includes identifying counterparties for contract creation and use of platform for posting
MEMBERSHIP FEES
Not included in the model are fees associated with new consumer loyalty programs and employee engagement through large companies using platform and digital wallet for creation of new ESG loyalty & participation programs.
