Protocol of Certification for a Secure Tokenized Future
A layer 1 protocol based on a new and decentralized consensus algorithm that issues certificates of authenticity for NFTs & RWAs to secure the Web3 ecosystem.
An infrastructure protocol that we will build together to secure the future of tokenized assets
What is Wakweli?
In the Digital Age
Trust is Under Siege
With the rise of digital property titles, AI, cryptocurrencies, NFTs... scams and fraudulent activities are surging. Conventional detection systems struggle to keep pace, overwhelmed by the sheer volume and complexity of emerging threats.
Enter Wakweli: A Revolutionary Web3 Protocol
Wakweli offers a groundbreaking solution with its decentralized Proof of Democracy (PoD) consensus algorithm, designed to certify the authenticity of any tokenized asset & real world asset.
The Wakweli certificates ensure that the digital representation of the asset (off-chain or on-chain) is unique and genuine and that the same asset is not being represented by multiple tokens in multiple platforms.
Once the certificate is issued, the newly certified asset displays a
tick mark (
) which is a symbol of trust
and value among the community.
Why a LAYER-1?
Infrastructure Project
Our vision is simple: a trusted ecosystem across all industries, powered by blockchain technology. With our scalable Proof-of-Democracy (PoD) consensus algorithm, we meet the needs of the booming $16 billion tokenization market by 2030.
Asset certifications can be complex, requiring specialized skills and knowledge. Wakweli solves this by providing adaptable infrastructure and robust security for projects building their own certification platforms. Experience streamlined access to our certification mechanism, setting the standard for the future of asset tokenization.
For everyone
Use Cases
As an infrastructure protocol, Wakweli will provide many opportunities for new ideas and projects to be built upon it.
- And so on…
Did you know that one of the leading NFT Marketplace confessed that 80% of the user-minted NFTs on their platforms are scams?
Certifying tokenized assets with Wakweli will not only secure NFTs Marketplaces by bringing trust to their users but will also drastically reduce the time and cost of verification of each listed asset.
Thanks to the Wakweli tick mark, users of the marketplaces will be able to quickly identify the real assets or collections they are interested in over scams.
How does it work?
Proof of Democracy
Certificate requests on the Wakweli network can be initiated by any $WAKUs holder.
A precise amount of $WAKUs will be staked in the request depending on the expected trust level for the certificate.
Elected certifiers will review the request and stake the same $WAKUs amount to validate it.
Based on his skills, personnal research and shared information from the requester, the certifier will be able to take his decision and validate or not the authenticity of the asset.
Once valid, certificates start to generate different rewards in $WAKU based on user roles (requester, certifier and elector)
Wakweli's community is incentivized to challenge doubtful certificates. Effective certificate slashes will interrupt $WAKU rewards, creating a system equilibrium that encourages telling the truth.
