Tokenomics
What is a CERT?
A Certicos Coin (ERC-20: CERT)* is a form of Deflationary Cryptocurrency that was developed as the mechanism for transacting to capture document transmittals into a Staked Blockchain storage system using IPFS (Interplanetary File Storage). In this respect the Certicos Token acts as a coin to transact the creation of an eSignature document on the Certicos Blockchain**. Each time a Creator (user) creates an eSignature document and submits it to either themselves or others; a quantity of Certicos Coins is required to complete and store that transaction in the Certicos blockchain. This is called the gas fee (CERT). The amount of CERT required for completing a transaction (i.e. digital envelope) is a fixed equivalent tethered to the USD price for a First Class US Postage Stamp (Labeled). We are now offering that the Approver of the document receives 100% of the CERT token price to place on the Blockchain.
Here is the latest CERT Token Pricing. See our pricing page for more details:
It is the intention of Certicos to use the US Postage Stamp rate for the price of the equivalent envelope service in kilobytes (kB) when the platform moves to Central Exchanges.
*Certicos is no longer on the Binance Smart Chain. Make sure you visit and use the Certicos Token CERT on the Arbitrum One Network.
**The CERTICOS Coin operates within the Certicos Coin Ecosystem while transactions are conducted on the platform. However, once removed from the platform, the CERTICOS Coin transforms into a Token. It adheres to the ERC-20 Token standard on the Arbitrum One Network, evident through its presence on Arbiscan. Notably, all transactions conducted on Certicosign.com are exclusively recorded on the Certicos Blockchain. An Arbitrum One Network Arbiscan Explorer transaction is triggered only when transactions are moved off the platform to an external wallet.

*As part of Certicos’ commitment to transparency and community trust, insiders will be required to pool their tokens during the initial year of Certicos’ presence on Centralized Exchanges (CEXs). This involves a vesting process where Steering Committee Members contribute their tokens by pledging them to CEXs. The contribution will be based on a percentage share, with Steering Committee Members collectively pooling their tokens to facilitate the listing on each exchange. This strategic approach serves to mitigate the risk of Rug Pull, as the tokens made available to the exchange communities will be those of the insiders, reinforcing our dedication to fair and secure practices.

How a CERTICOS Coin Works
Think of a CERT Coin like a token you’d use at a car wash or a ticket for rides at a fair or carnival. Similar to buying tokens from a machine (Certicos Wallet), you acquire CERT Coins to facilitate transactions within our ecosystem. Just as you’d use tokens for services like washing your car or enjoying a carnival ride, CERT Coins cover the gas fee for transacting your eSignature documents within the digital envelope on the Certicos Blockchain.
It’s as straightforward as that! The CERT Coin offers this service at the cost of a First Class US Postage Stamp, providing a global solution. Unlike traditional eSignature competitors with monthly subscriptions, CERT Coins involve no recurring costs. Document Creators pay a minimal storage fee within the IPFS System in Certicos Tokens, ensuring encrypted files are distributed to over 50 servers worldwide, making them immutable and resistant to alterations.
