Caribbean Currency (XCR) White Paper

Carib Coin (XCR) is a pioneering digital asset designed to unify and empower the Caribbean region by facilitating secure, fast, and decentralized financial transactions. Built on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), XCR leverages XRPL's unparalleled speed, transparency, and energy efficiency to deliver seamless cross-border payments, decentralized finance (DeFi) opportunities, and financial inclusion. By adopting a sustainable utility model combined with strategic governance and regional partnerships, XCR is positioned to transform the Caribbean's financial ecosystem.

Key Features

• Built on the XRPL:
  XCR utilizes the XRP Ledger, enabling fast (3–5 second) transactions, near-zero fees, and sustainable, energy-efficient operations.

• Utility-Focused Model:
  XCR is designed as the primary regional cryptocurrency, complemented by stable utility tokens like TTC for bank-related services and remittance networks.

• Decentralized Governance:
  Community-driven decision-making through governance wallets ensures transparent and inclusive growth.

• Transparency:
  Transactions and token allocations are fully verifiable on the public ledger, enhancing trust and accountability.

• Financial Inclusion:
  XCR provides affordable digital financial tools for the Caribbean, addressing limited digital readiness and promoting regional economic growth.

• Stable Dynamic Token (SDT) Mechanism:
  The SDT mechanism underpins XCR’s value stability by pegging XCR to XRP. Initially, the ratio is set at 1 XCR to 0.004 XRP. With built-in burn and escrow protocols, the mechanism prevents the ratio from falling below 1 XCR to 0.00385 XRP, providing a robust safety net against market volatility. In parallel, the peg is dynamically adjustable—allowing for expansion (for example, up to 1 XCR to 0.01 XRP) as XRP’s market performance improves. This design ensures that XCR not only grows with XRP but also safeguards investor value during downturns.
