Overview

OpenEden’s token architecture is designed to link real-world economic performance directly with on-chain value creation. This ensures that protocol growth, transparency, and capital flows translate into tangible benefits for token holders.

Through EDEN’s design, a sustainable RWA flywheel is achieved: real-world yield and revenue flows into the protocol → revenue drives on-chain value capture → tokenholder alignment reinforces confidence → protocol adoption accelerates, and the cycle compounds at scale.

EDEN

EDEN is the native utility and value-aligned token of the OpenEden ecosystem. It enables holders to participate in the OpenEden protocol’s long-term success, making it one of the industry’s first tokens truly aligned with the fundamentals of tokenized real-world assets and yield.

Importantly, EDEN gives holders meaningful advantages that enhance their participation in compliant tokenized-asset markets. EDEN offers preferential fee structures, early access to new tokenized RWA products, and involvement in key proposals, providing institutional participants, ecosystem builders, and DeFi-native users with stronger alignment and incentives to engage more deeply with OpenEden’s ecosystem.

By providing these tangible avenues of participation, EDEN serves as both a community-aligned token and a key enabler of institutional alignment within OpenEden’s tokenized RWA infrastructure.

As the ecosystem expands, part of OpenEden’s fees or treasury reserves’ yield will be directed toward open-market buybacks, introducing deflationary pressure that rewards long-term participants and strengthens EDEN’s intrinsic value.

xEDEN

To unlock the full potential of EDEN, including incentives and governance participation, holders may stake their EDEN to receive xEDEN, the value-accruing governance token that anchors OpenEden’s tokenized RWA ecosystem.

xEDEN represents both economic participation and governance participation in OpenEden’s issuance, management, and distribution of real-world assets. By token design, each xEDEN becomes redeemable for more EDEN, and xEDEN holders do not need to claim rewards manually as the value compounds automatically within the contract.

Over time, xEDEN holdings will be supplemented from OpenEden revenues, while token emissions will taper. This reflects the growing inflows of tokenized RWA yields, potentially transforming xEDEN from an inflationary staking token into a real-yield-backed compounding asset.

This is xEDEN's core compounding mechanic: automatic, transparent, and measurable on-chain.
