Abstract

Raydium (TRT) is an Ethereum-based utility token that converts ecosystem transaction fees into a treasury that funds vetted early-stage Web3 AI ventures. When those investments return a profit, 70% is distributed to holders in ETH. This paper details the protocol design, token economics, distribution and vesting, staking and governance, the results of an independent security audit, and the risks associated with holding TRT.

01 · Executive summary

A token that earns its keep

Most tokens ask holders to believe in a promise. Raydium is engineered to return value by design. Every fee generated across the Raydium ecosystem is routed into an on-chain treasury that deploys capital into early-stage Web3 AI projects. When those ventures return a profit, the majority of that profit — 70% — flows straight back to holders, paid in ETH rather than in freshly minted supply.

The result is a self-reinforcing flywheel: usage generates fees, fees fund ventures, ventures return ETH to holders, and rewarded holders bring more usage. TRT is a standard ERC-20 token on Ethereum with a fixed supply of one billion, a fully audited contract suite, and a transparent, on-chain distribution model.

Highlights

02 · Problem & market opportunity

Using a network isn't the same as benefiting from it

Crypto networks generate enormous fee revenue, yet the people who create that activity — the holders and users — rarely share in it. Value accrues to a narrow set of insiders, or evaporates into emissions that dilute everyone. At the same time, the most important frontier in technology, Web3 AI, is starved of aligned, transparent, on-chain capital. Raydium sits at the intersection of these two gaps.

Two markets, one bridge
Crypto's fee economy meets Web3 AI's capital demand.

The holder problem

Fees are extracted from users but returned to few. "Rewards" are usually inflationary emissions that dilute holders instead of paying them real yield.

The capital problem

Early-stage Web3 AI teams struggle to access transparent, on-chain funding. Allocation happens off-chain, opaquely, and without community upside.

Why now

The convergence of mature on-chain infrastructure, programmable treasuries, and an explosion of Web3 AI projects has created a moment where fee revenue can be transparently pooled, deployed, and redistributed without intermediaries. Raydium is built to capture that moment: an audited, community-owned vehicle that makes ownership genuinely rewarding while channelling capital into the next generation of on-chain intelligence.

03 · The Raydium solution

Fees in, ventures funded, ETH out

Raydium closes the gap between using a network and benefiting from it. Ecosystem fees are pooled into an on-chain treasury, deployed into vetted Web3 AI ventures, and the returns are shared with holders in ETH. Four mechanisms make the token work.

ETH revenue share

70% of profits from funded AI ventures are distributed to holders in ETH via periodic airdrops — no claim or lock-up required to receive them.

AI venture funding

All ecosystem fees are deployed into vetted early-stage Web3 AI projects, fully on-chain, with allocations recorded transparently.

Staking rewards

Lock TRT to earn a continuous share of treasury revenue, scaled by how long you commit — up to a 3.4× multiplier.

Lifetime zero fees

Presale buyers transact TRT with zero network fees, permanently — a structural edge bound to the wallet that never expires.

04 · Technology & architecture

How the protocol is built

Raydium is a suite of audited smart contracts deployed on Ethereum mainnet. Each contract has a single, well-scoped responsibility, and privileged actions are protected by a timelock and multi-signature control. The diagram below shows how value moves through the system.

Users & ecosystem activity trades · transfers · integrations generate fees Fee router collects & normalises protocol fees Treasury & venture allocator timelock + multi-sig · deploys capital governed on-chain Web3 AI venture portfolio vetted early-stage projects Staking module locks supply · time multipliers Distribution — 70% of profit airdropped in ETH to holders

Contract suite

05 · Tokenomics & allocation

One billion TRT, transparently allocated

TRT has a fixed maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. There is no inflation and no hidden mint. Allocations are weighted toward the treasury and ecosystem — the engines that fund ventures and reward holders — while team and advisor allocations are deliberately small and long-locked.

06 · Vesting & release schedule

Supply that unlocks without shocks

12% of supply unlocks at the token generation event (TGE). Team and advisor allocations sit behind a six-month cliff, then vest linearly over eighteen months. Presale, ecosystem, and treasury tranches release on a steady monthly schedule so circulating supply grows predictably across the first 24 months.

07 · ETH revenue-share model

The growth flywheel

Every turn of the loop makes the next one stronger. More usage generates more fees, which fund more AI ventures, which return more ETH to holders — drawing in more holders, and more usage. Rewards are paid in ETH, not TRT, so distributions never dilute the supply.

08 · Staking mechanics

How conviction compounds

Staking locks supply and routes an amplified share of ecosystem revenue to committed holders. The longer you stake, the larger your slice of the treasury's returns, up to a maximum multiplier of 3.4×. Rewards accrue continuously and can be claimed at any time.

3.4× max multiplier
Lock period Multiplier
Flexible (no lock)1.0×
3 months1.4×
6 months2.0×
12 months2.7×
24 months3.4×

Multipliers are illustrative and apply to a holder's pro-rata share of the staking reward pool. Actual yield depends on treasury performance and total staked supply. Staking is non-custodial; staked TRT can be unlocked according to its chosen term.

09 · Presale details & tiers

Round 1 is the lowest price you'll see

The presale runs in tiers. Each tier has a fixed price and allocation; once it sells out, the price steps up. Early buyers receive a 20% bonus and a permanent, wallet-bound zero-fee benefit. Minimum purchase is 50 USDT, payable in USDT, ETH or SOL.

Independently audited

The Raydium contract suite was audited by CertiK, an independent blockchain security firm. The audit covered the token, presale/vesting, treasury, staking and distribution contracts. All critical and major findings were resolved prior to the presale.

13 · Governance

Owned by its community

Governance opens to holders in phases, putting decisions about the treasury and roadmap in the hands of the network. Voting power is proportional to TRT held and staked. Proposals move from off-chain signalling to on-chain execution behind a timelock, so the community can review any change before it takes effect.

1 · Propose

Any holder meeting the proposal threshold can submit an improvement, treasury allocation, or parameter change.

2 · Vote

Holders vote with TRT-weighted power. Staked tokens carry their time multiplier into voting weight.

3 · Execute

Approved proposals queue in a timelock before on-chain execution, giving the community a review window.

Parameter Value
Proposal threshold0.5% of circulating supply
Quorum4% of circulating supply
Voting period5 days
Timelock delay48 hours

Governance parameters are indicative and subject to community ratification at launch of the governance module.
