# EFWT Protocol

EFWT is the native utility and governance token of the Energy Future World ecosystem. It powers a decentralised, transparent, and community-led ecosystem for peer-to-peer energy trading, project financing, and carbon credit tokenisation.

### 🗳️ Governance: EFWT Holders Are Climate Actors

EFWT holders are not just users — they are climate actors and active stakeholders in the clean energy transition. Holding EFWT means having a real say in shaping the future of our planet.

#### 📌 What EFWT Holders Can Vote On:

✅ Which energy projects get listed or featured on the marketplace\ <br>

✅ Allocation of treasury funds to community-driven initiatives\ <br>

✅ Protocol parameters, like:\ <br>

* Reward rates\ <br>
* Staking mechanisms\ <br>

✅ Grant proposals from developers or clean energy advocates\ <br>

✅ DAO governance rules, ecosystem roadmaps and proposals support community initiatives, partnerships or tech upgrades\ <br>

✅ Carbon Credit Rules approve new methodologies or token models for carbon credits

This creates a truly community-led clean energy platform — decentralised, transparent, and fair.

### ♻️ Carbon Credit Tokenisation with EFWT

EFWT goes beyond energy — it’s at the heart of EFW’s climate-positive mission.

#### 🌿 How It Works:

1. Renewable energy projects onboarded through EFW generate verified carbon credits.\ <br>
2. These credits are tokenised on the EFWT blockchain.\ <br>
3. Each carbon credit token is fully traceable to its origin project and timestamped.\ <br>
4. EFWT is used to buy, sell, or retire these tokens on a decentralised marketplace.\ <br>
5. Retired credits can be linked to user or corporate sustainability profiles.\ <br>

This enables transparent, verifiable impact tracking and opens carbon offsetting to all EFWT users.
