Karpous Exchange — Continuous Liquidity for RWAs

Owning an asset matters. Being able to trade it defines freedom. Karpous Exchange turns real-world industry exposure into 24/7 globally tradable instruments, offering both simplicity for retail and depth for institutions.

What trades on the Exchange

  • Staking Pool Certificates → Fixed-income positions (3–10% APY) with issuer redemption at term; transferable for early exit.
  • Fractional Industry Tokens (fTokens) → Liquid exposure to sectors such as energy, transport, agriculture, collectibles (e.g., fME-EN-3011, fSEA-TO-3007).
  • Direct Asset Listings → Secondary trading of whole-asset positions as resale modules activate.

Market Structure

  • Simple Swap (AMM): Retail-friendly liquidity pools with fee tiers (0.05% / 0.30% / 1.00%).
  • Pro Exchange (Orderbook): Institutional-grade execution (on roadmap), launching with Maker 6 bps / Taker 12 bps.
  • Base pairs: USDT at launch; KRPS pairs introduced as depth matures.
  • Settlement: Polygon for low fees and fast finality, with issuance bridged to Base and Solana.

Fees, KRPS, and Value Capture

  • Trading and redemption fees can be paid in KRPS for a 25% discount.
  • Quarterly buyback-and-burn: 25% of net trading fees are used to repurchase and burn KRPS.
  • Listing fees follow the same burn model unless disclosed otherwise.

Liquidity Programs

  • Partner market makers to seed depth.
  • Issuer incentives (KRPS or USDT) for tight spreads and volume.
  • Transparent tiered fee reductions as volumes scale.

Guardrails

  • Every pool publishes factsheets with protection structures.
  • Floor APY and reserve mechanics are disclosed for Industry Fractions.
  • KYC applies at redemption/withdrawal, while fTokens remain freely transferable in secondary markets.

The result: markets shift from “subscribe and wait” to “trade and rebalance.” Investors gain continuous liquidity, originators access real-time price discovery, and KRPS captures platform growth through fees, discounts, and burns.
