welcome to earth (rth).

rth is not a company.
there is no corporation or CEO.
rth is a distributed autonomous organization.
the people that hold rth, are the stewards of rth.



rth contract address:
etherscan.io/address/0xcce85fa...
rth token address:
etherscan.io/token/0xcce85fa...

rth is a hybrid backed, fixed supply digital asset.
at genesis, rth is backed by the:
genesis parcel: ipfs.io/ipfs/QmPHwhvVq...
genesis btc: blockchain.com/btc/address/bc1...
genesis eth: etherscan.io/address/0xd7fe8dc...
rth asset backing grows as rth is released to market, as dao real estate and crypto holdings generate yield, and as nft royalties are captured through tokenized fractional real estate sales.
rth is regulatory compliant. aml/kyc is required. to participate in the rth early adopter incentive, please click here.

thesis

Once sufficiently informed, humans will choose stores of value and mediums of exchange that are not subject to debasement, and will abandon those that are. All fiat currencies will fail. Central banks will cease to function in their current form. Government attempts at digital fiat will also fail as debaseable digital currencies will remain transparently inferior to fixed supply decentralized money. A decoupling of money from government is inevitable.

Loss of monetary control is a substantial loss of power. Governments will seek to regain power in other ways. The risk of financial and geopolitical instability will increase. Risk of regional and global conflict will grow.

In order to mitigate this risk, humans must find a way to reasonably migrate from legacy monetary systems, to new decentralized systems. Given the new decentralized nature of money, adoptive consensus is necessary. Adoption by a critical-mass of humans must occur first, complemented by a mechanism for government onboarding that preserves reasonable transitional socio-economic balance.

This must be in place, and have sufficient adoption, prior to the widespread decline of fiat. A race condition exists.

Existing crypto-assets are not well suited for this task as the concept that digital assets have value is elusive for many. A hybrid-backed digital asset that includes 'real-world' backing will be more readily adoptable.

Additionally, there is an inverse relationship between understanding digital assets, and willingness to spend digital assets. Why spend something today that you expect will increase in value over time? The future value of digital assets will not be known for many years, and quite possibly not before the collapse of fiat. A hybrid-backed, pseudo-stablecoin digital asset (partially real estate pegged) will offer greater stability in both asset confidence, and valuation.

As adoption of decentralized money grows, individuals will become more empowered. This will create the first opportunities for decentralized global governance. In turn, this will create opportunities to improve the human condition, and build a stronger planet.

Welcome to earth (rth).

bitcoin frictions / rth layer smoothing

1

scarcity alone negatively impacts adoption.

perception improved with hybrid backed asset.
adoption easier to achieve.

perception improved with hybrid backed asset. adoption easier to achieve.

2

bitcoin disproportionately held.
decentralized becoming centralized again.

rth ecosystem moves bitcoin to the rth dao commensurate with adoption at scale helping to rebalance bitcoin distribution.
rth distribution mechanism rewards early adopters but mitigates gold rush behavior.

3

bitcoin currently functions as a store of value.

rth functions at the payments layer, interoperates with the rth dao, becomes stronger commensurate with backing growth, establishes a minimum human standard of living, incentivizes individual and global improvement, and offers a foundation for decentralized global governance.

this provides recursive validation:
the ipfs hash refers to the legacy documents.
the legacy documents can be hashed to validate authenticity.
this renders immutable the legal description, title record, and legacy data, and provides a mapping between legacy systems and the new global title system.

# of bitcoin

Denomination at 21 trillion level selected to retain smaller unit of measure to enable the term 'rth' to persist longer in transactional use, and for the benefit of perceived affordability (unit bias). The cost of one bitcoin is more than most humans can afford. Even though a person can buy satoshi, being unable to buy a full bitcoin discourages adoption.

supply inflation:

When all 21 trillion rth have been distributed, 1% to 2% annual inflation will begin, as determined by the dao. Nominal inflation functions to offset lost rth, otherwise rth would deflate to zero as time approaches infinity. Non-inflationary money is dying money by definition.

government onboarding

Governments will seek safe harbor options as they begin to accept that their fiat currencies will fail. Transitional exchange will be provided at then-current market rates with total rth allocation being a factor of each country’s normalized 2019 GDP (per capita GDP). Allocation adjustment for low normalized GDP countries to be determined by the dao. Direct government engagement is underway.

use of funds

All funds usage shall be fully open ledger and administered by the dao, provided that:

80% of funds secured from rth distribution will be used to purchase additional asset backing.

20% of funds secured from rth distribution will be used for rth awareness and adoption, research and development, and dao > trust operations.

However, for the first five years, in order to enhance rth awareness and adoption:

50% of funds secured from rth distribution will be used to purchase asset backing.

40% of funds secured from rth distribution will be used for rth awareness and adoption.

10% of funds secured from rth distribution will be used for research and development, and dao > trust operations.

In years 6 through 20, the use of funds shall be determined by the dao, provided that:

50% to 70% of funds shall be used to purchase asset backing.

10% of funds will be used for research and development, and dao > trust operations.

The balance of 20% to 40% will be used for rth awareness and adoption.

Beginning in year 21, the use of funds shall be allocated as follows:

85% of funds secured from rth distribution shall be used to purchase asset backing, a 5% premium over the long-term 80% equilibrium. The 5% premium shall remain in place until the percentage of funds used to purchase asset backing achieves 80% equilibrium. During this time, 10% of funds will be used for research and development and dao > trust operations and 5% of funds will be used for rth awareness and adoption.

Once equilibrium has been achieved, 80% of funds secured from rth distribution will be used to purchase additional asset backing, and 20% of funds secured from rth distribution will be used for rth awareness and adoption, research and development, and dao > trust operations, and shall remain as such in perpetuity until all rth has been distributed, at which time dao > trust operations shall be funded, at the direction of the dao, from income from assets held prior to calculation of yield.

All funds usage shall be fully open ledger and administered by the dao, provided that:

80% of funds secured from rth distribution will be used to purchase additional asset backing, and 20% of funds secured from rth distribution will be used for rth awareness and adoption, research and development, and dao > trust operations.

During this time, 10% of funds will be used for research and development and dao > trust operations, and 5% of funds will be used for rth awareness and adoption.

Once equilibrium has been achieved, 80% of funds secured from rth distribution will be used to purchase additional asset backing, and 20% of funds secured from rth distribution will be used for rth awareness and adoption, research and development, and dao > trust operations. This structure shall persist until all rth has been distributed, at which time dao > trust operations shall be funded, at the direction of the dao, from income from assets held prior to calculation of yield.

risks and offset strategies

insufficient adoption

risk: rth may not achieve sufficient adoption.

offset: massive market exposure. awareness, education, and adoption campaigns. physical, real-world presence. expansive digital presence. time-structured fiat revenue usage where a larger portion of early-stage revenue (see "use of funds") is used to fund widespread global marketing efforts. these efforts will continue through rth release stages until sufficient forward-momentum is achieved and rth becomes self-perpetuating.

government taking

risk: rth may evolve to be viewed by one or more governments as a challenge to sovereignty. a government might abuse its authority to seize real estate asset-backing held by rth.

offset 1: work proactively on government onboarding so rth is viewed as a safe-haven solution, not as a risk.

offset 2: diversify holdings across many countries so asset seizure by one country will leave other rth backing in place.

offset 3: achieve sufficient market adoption so an attack against rth would be considered an attack on the people, which may dissuade some governments from taking such action.

offset 4: an inflection point in the future may find rth records of ownership as superior to legacy systems. at such time, the ability of governments to seize without force, may end.

transaction speed

risk: ethereum blockchain transactions per second may fail to reach levels necessary to adequately accommodate transactional payments-layer usage.

offset 1: blockchain today is similar to internet video in 1997: small image area, pixelated, and low frames per second. yet today, we enjoy full-size 4k streaming. just as internet video streaming has improved, so will blockchain transaction speed. the forthcoming release of ethereum 2.0 will begin to solve these problems, as will future advancements in the ethereum platform.

offset 2: adopt or develop an ethereum layer two solution.

offset 3: whether another existing blockchain platform, a blockchain platform yet to be built, or perhaps even an rth native blockchain, rth is long-term blockchain platform agnostic. a one for one token swap enables migration if it becomes necessary.

transaction cost

risk: ethereum blockchain transaction costs might remain prohibitive and therefore may not accommodate transactional payments-layer usage.

offset: see "transaction speed" offsets above.

app gatekeeper risk

risk: the "Apple App Store" and the "Google Play Store" may not allow the rth app to be downloaded from their services.

offset 1: the rth app is available as native-app, and as a web-app, the latter of which does not require download and installation.

offset 2: the rth app does not presently provide a mechanism for purchasing or selling rth. the rth app only functions to allow the transfer of rth, and the farming of rth at no cost. because there is no fiat money involved at the app level, the rth app may receive favorable consideration.

offset 3: work cooperatively with Apple and Google to illustrate the good faith intentions of the rth project.

offset 4: wait for Apple and Google to become more comfortable with digital asset apps.

offset 5: educate users how to use AltStore and apk to sideload the rth app.

secondary market accumulation

risk: people may use the secondary market to acquire a disproportionate share of rth, effectively re-centralizing a decentralized asset.

offset 1: in an open marketplace, this is a risk without offset. accumulation is to be expected. however, release of rth over time, the government onboarding mechanism, and universal basic income, will each function as partial offsets to this risk.

access to technology not universal

risk: people without access to technology will not be able to participate.

offset 1: this risk is becoming less significant every year. more people than ever have access to technology. smart phone usage, even in very poor countries, is becoming more commonplace.

offset 2: identify risk areas (geo, income, etc.) and implement outreach programs. leverage existing outreach programs as possible communication paths. bring technology to the people.

fraud

risk: the rth steward or accommodator could commit fraud and abuse their power to steal rth or rth backing.

offset 1: the rth steward and accommodator are not anonymous. they are known entities, vetted by the founder at launch, and vetted and chosen by the dao as the project progresses.

offset 2: the transparent nature of rth project would reveal any bad behavior. any fraudulent action would be self-defeating.

there are likely other additional risks that have yet to be identified.

frequently asked questions

q: what is the total supply?

a: there are the same number of divisible units of rth (time) as there are of bitcoin (satoshi).

a: there are 21 trillion rth.

q: why aren’t the staking rewards higher?

a: rth is a long-term focused project. unsustainable staking rewards are not a part of the rth ecosystem.

q: rth is not a company?

a: rth is a decentralized autonomous organization (dao). the dao is comprised of rth holders that choose stewards and accommodators by consensus to carry out the directives of the dao.

q: if rth isn’t a company, are there people that are helping to advance the project?

a: yes. rth Foundation, LLC is operated by a group of people that are dedicated to helping the rth project succeed. the rth Foundation, LLC. has no direct control over rth.

q: how do I acquire rth?

a: begin by submitting your kyc here. you will receive additional instructions once the kyc process is complete.

a: direct rth purchase will be available in the future in accordance with government regulations.

q: if rth is decentralized, why do government regulations matter?

a: in order to provide a reasonable transition from legacy systems to new decentralized systems, being 'friendly' to legacy systems is necessary.

q: If I own rth, do I own the assets backing rth?

a: If you own rth, you own a proportionate share off all rth asset backing.

q: can I sell my share of rth asset backing?

a: no. asset backing is owned by the collective holders of rth. asset backing is designed to grow over time.

q: can I sell my rth?

a: rth is a decentralized asset. you may save, spend or sell your rth as you please.

q: is rth free?

a: every human qualifies to receive rth universal basic income at no cost.

a: rth farming rewards are available at no cost.

a: early adopter incentives are available at no cost.

a: additional rth will be available for purchase in the future at market rates.

q: will a large supply hurt the value?

a: total supply is the same as bitcoin. rth is an alternate denomination on the same scale.

a: not all 21 trillion rth will be unlocked at once. initially, only 21 billion rth will be unlocked. the remaining 20.79 trillion rth will be released over time at a rate determined by the consensus of rth holders within defined thresholds.

q: what are the thresholds?

a: rth will be unlocked at a volume determined by consensus, but not less than 10% of circulating supply per annum, and not more than half the remaining total supply per annum, until such time that full distribution has occurred. the high-end threshold provides a sufficient unlocking path for government onboarding and potential accelerating public adoption.

q: as more rth is released, will that drive the value down?

a: rth is released in exchange for government fiat or other crypto assets at then-market rates. as funds are raised from the sale of rth, more asset backing is acquired and held by rth. thusly, asset backing grows as rth is released to market.

q: the divisible quantity of rth is stated as being the same as the divisible quantity of bitcoin, but looking at the smart contract that appears to not be the case?

a: the Ethereum default is 18 decimal places. while a lower decimal count can be selected, doing so creates challenges with CEX and DEX interoperability. for this reason, it was decided to maintain the Ethereum default of 18 decimal places. this additional divisibility may prove beneficial in time.

q: if I have rth, do I own a prorated share of the genesis parcel, genesis btc, and genesis eth?

a: yes. everyone that owns rth, owns a prorated share of the genesis parcel, genesis btc, and genesis eth.

a: everyone that owns rth will also own a prorated share of all additional real estate and crypto asset backing acquired and held by rth over time.

q: will rth asset backing ever include assets other than real estate, bitcoin, and ethereum?

a: addional assets may be added to rth asset backing at the election of the dao.

q: where is the genesis parcel located?

a: the genesis parcel is a 5 acre parcel in Colorado, United States, near the Rio Grande River.

q: where did the genesis parcel, genesis btc, and genesis eth come from?

a: all genesis assets were donated by the founder to serve as the symbolic (and actual) initial backing of rth.

q: is the genesis parcel valuable?

a: the genesis parcel is of nominal value. bootstrap funds were mostly reserved for project development and project awareness during incubation and launch.

q: where did the rth dao mining equipment come from?

a: all mining equipment was donated by the founder to serve as foundation for rth dao mining operations.

q: rth seems to have many goals. is the project too broad in scope?

a: the nature of rth offers many opportunities. it is possible for the project to achieve substantial success, even if one or more of the project goals are not achieved.

q: can rth holders specify how they want their rth backing allocated (land, other digital assets, gold, etc.)? is selective backing available?

a: by design, there is no mechanism to allocate individual holdings to specific types of backing. if you own rth, you own a prorated share of all assets held by rth. however, the vote of rth holders contributes to help determine project-wide backing allocation.

q: who is Ferris Taveli?
