EKO Protocol v-1.0
EKO Protocol will be an Arbitrum-based Regenerative Finance (ReFi) loyalty infrastructure that bridges Web2 sustainable commerce into Web3 by transforming traditional cashbacks into asset-backed tokens. Powering the ekonavi.com ecosystem, the protocol will allow users to instantly earn EKO tokens through eco-friendly purchases—such as coffee and organic marketplace baskets. These transactions will also trigger green certifications, natively tracking positive impact directly on-chain. Every EKO token issued will be instantly backed by a stablecoin Floor Price Vault. By delivering immediate utility, verified green metrics, and a guaranteed on-chain redeemable floor price, EKO Protocol will create a friction-free blueprint for driving real-world economic volume straight to the Arbitrum network.

Description
EKO Protocol will be an innovative Regenerative Finance (ReFi) loyalty and on-chain verification infrastructure built on Arbitrum. Designed to power the ekonavi.com eco-marketplace, the protocol will seamlessly convert real-world sustainable commerce into asset-backed Web3 utility, driving genuine transaction volume and user onboarding directly to the Arbitrum L2 network.
Traditional Web3 loyalty reward and gaming systems often fall into hyperinflationary death spirals because they emit tokens backed purely by speculation. On the other hand, traditional Web2 green marketplaces struggle to provide transparent, tamper-proof tracking of ecological impacts, resulting in low consumer trust and fragmented loyalty incentives.
EKO Protocol will solve these challenges by introducing a dual-engine architecture:
1. Asset-Backed Economics: Every time a user purchases an eco-friendly product on ekonavi.com (such as organic coffee or marketplace baskets), a percentage of the fiat payment (via Pix or Credit Card) will be automatically routed into a stablecoin Floor Price Vault. The protocol will instantly mint and issue EKO tokens to the user, fully backed by real-world value. Users will be able to redeem their EKO tokens directly on-chain for the underlying stablecoins, preventing the asset from ever dropping to zero.
2.On-Chain Impact Certification: In addition to the economic reward, each transaction will trigger immutable cryptographic receipts. This mechanism will natively verify and record positive environmental metrics directly on-chain, providing decentralized verification for sustainability achievements such as the "Selo Xis" certification.
Components:
EKO Token Contract (EKO.sol): An upgradeable ERC-20 token using the UUPS proxy pattern. It will feature an initially paused public transfer state to protect the early closed-loop ecosystem of ekonavi.com, allowing only official platform mints and burns.
EkoVault Contract (EkoVault.sol): A decentralized smart contract vault that holds the stablecoin reserves and executes the public burnToRedeem() function, providing friction-free, instant liquidity to token holders.
Web2-to-Web3 Gateway API: A robust backend orchestration layer linking local payment webhooks (like Mercado Pago) directly to automated smart contract interactions on the Arbitrum network.
