The global automotive market faces a critical challenge: a lack of transparency and traceability in the lifecycle of vehicles. Whether purchasing a second-hand car or exporting vehicles to new markets, buyers, sellers, and regulatory bodies struggle to access reliable and comprehensive information. This gap in transparency has far-reaching consequences for safety, the environment, and market efficiency.

Market and key figures

• Over 1 billion private vehicles worldwide
• Over 2 billion motorists
• Over 230 million used cars sold every year
• Several hundred dollars spent each year to repair and maintain each vehicle
• Average annual cost of maintaining a car for an individual: between $6,000 to $12,000 depending on the car, the mileage traveled and the country.

Maintaining a detailed and accessible record of a vehicle’s history is nearly impossible under current systems. As vehicles age, the difficulty of accessing reliable data only increases. This lack of traceability creates significant issues:

• Hidden Costs and Scams: Buyers in the second-hand market often face unexpected expenses due to undisclosed defects or fraud.
• Safety Risks: Poorly maintained vehicles not only endanger drivers and passengers but also contribute to traffic accidents and fatalities.
• Environmental Harm: Inefficiently maintained vehicles have higher CO2 emissions and shorter lifespans, undermining global sustainability efforts.

The problem of inadequate transparency extends beyond individual buyers and sellers. According to the International Transport Forum (ITF):

• Unsafe Vehicle Exports: Many exported vehicles fail to meet safety and environmental standards in their destination countries, particularly in developing regions.
• Environmental Fallout: Old, high-emission vehicles continue to be circulated in less affluent nations, undermining global efforts to fight climate change.
• Regulatory Gaps: Countries with weak enforcement mechanisms face an influx of defective vehicles, exacerbating safety and environmental issues.

Recent high-profile recalls underscore the critical need for comprehensive tracking, even from the manufacturer’s perspective.

Stellantis has recalled specific vehicle brands due to significant defects, as highlighted in their press release (source: Stellantis Press Release. (2024). Vehicle Recall Notice).

The widespread Takata airbag defects have prompted safety recalls impacting millions of vehicles worldwide.

On May 17, 2024, Stellantis issued an urgent recall for Citroën C3 and DS Automobiles DS 3 models produced between 2009 and 2019, advising owners in Mediterranean regions to cease using these vehicles immediately and register for necessary repairs.

This situation underscores the necessity for a robust tracking systems. 

Without comprehensive traceability, vehicle manufacturers, buyers, and regulators alike remain vulnerable to hidden risks, economic losses, and environmental harm.

The CDK Token serves as the native utility token of the CodeNekt blockchain, playing a major role in empowering the platform’s ecosystem.

Key Economic Functions

1. Ecosystem Transactions
   CDK tokens facilitate a range of transactions within the platform, including access to premium features, data updates, and interactions with third-party services integrated into the ecosystem.
2. Incentivizing Community Engagement
   The CDK token fosters active participation within the CodeNekt ecosystem. Through staking, token holders are rewarded for their long-term commitment, helping to ensure the platform’s growth and stability.

Governance and Voting Rights
CDK holders can influence the platform’s development by participating in decentralized governance, enabling the community to shape the future of CodeNekt.

The CDK Token is the native token of CodeNekt blockchain. Our token adheres to the ERC20 standard, ensuring compatibility with wallets, exchanges and other Ethereum-based applications.

Token details

• Token Name: CDK Token
• Token Symbol: CDK
• Decimals: 18
• Total Supply: 10,000,000,000

The total supply of CDK tokens is capped at 10,000,000,000 strategically allocated across various categories for specific purposes. 

This distribution aims to balance the needs for growth, team motivation, and ecosystem development while ensuring a sustainable and transparent approach to the token’s usage.

The table below outlines the token distribution:

The CDK token economic model has been designed to support the sustainable growth of the CodeNekt ecosystem while ensuring transparency, predictability, and regulatory alignment.

The tokenomics framework aims to:

• incentivize real and recurring usage of the CodeNekt platform,

• align the interests of users, operators, and infrastructure participants,

• support long-term ecosystem development,

• ensure a clear separation between utility, governance, and protocol incentives.

CDK is conceived as a utility token, used to access services, interact with protocol features, and participate in governance, without constituting a financial instrument or investment product.

Interactions within the CodeNekt ecosystem may generate protocol-level fees, payable in CDK, associated with transactions, services, or on-chain interactions enabled by the platform.

These protocol fees are designed to sustain the ecosystem through a balanced economic flow, combining token scarcity, infrastructure support, and ecosystem reinvestment.

The indicative allocation of protocol fees is as follows:

This allocation framework is intended to align token utility with real-world activity and platform adoption, while maintaining economic transparency.

Percentages are indicative and may evolve over time through governance mechanisms, subject to regulatory constraints.

The burn mechanism directly links CDK token scarcity to actual usage of the CodeNekt ecosystem.

As protocol activity increases, a portion of the fees paid in CDK is permanently removed from circulation, contributing to a progressive reduction of the total supply.

This mechanism:

• reflects organic ecosystem growth rather than speculative demand,

• aligns token value dynamics with platform adoption,

• avoids artificial incentives disconnected from real utility.

Token burning does not guarantee price appreciation and should not be interpreted as a value preservation or profit mechanism.

The CDK token enables participation in the economic and governance mechanisms of the CodeNekt ecosystem.

Holders may:

• access protocol-defined incentives linked to participation and contribution,

• participate in governance processes, including proposals and voting on protocol parameters,

• contribute to the evolution of economic rules, including fee allocation ranges and operational policies.

The specific operational mechanisms related to incentives, including staking conditions and reward distribution processes, are described in Section 4.5 – Staking.

Governance participation does not confer ownership rights, dividends, or guaranteed financial benefits.

The tokenomics model is subject to various factors, including:

• network adoption levels,

• transaction volume and platform usage,

• governance decisions,

• regulatory developments.

As a result, economic parameters such as protocol fee allocation, incentive structures, or operational rules may be adjusted over time to ensure ecosystem sustainability.

Participation in the CodeNekt ecosystem involves inherent risks, and no assurance is given regarding the future value, liquidity, or performance of the CDK token.

In order to preserve the stability of the CDK price and encourage long-term commitment, we have planned a vesting process aimed at gradually releasing the tokens acquired by investors in a controlled manner.

As part of our strategy, vesting begins after a cliff period ranging from 3 to 6 months depending on the purchase round. CDK are then released monthly in a linear manner over a period of 12 to 24 months according to the same purchase rounds.

This mechanism guarantees a limited supply on the market in the short term, thus promoting a stable price, while aligning the interests of investors with those of the project in the long term.

Cliff and vesting periods:

The CDK staking mechanism is designed to encourage long-term participation in the CodeNekt ecosystem while contributing to the stability, security, and proper functioning of the network.

By staking CDK tokens, participants support the protocol’s operational framework and may become eligible to receive protocol-defined incentives, subject to the conditions outlined below.

• CDK holders may voluntarily lock a defined amount of tokens for a predetermined period.

• During the staking period, staked tokens remain inaccessible and cannot be transferred or used for other purposes.

• Participation in staking is optional and does not grant any ownership, dividend rights, or guaranteed financial return.

Incentives associated with staking are determined by the protocol parameters in effect at the time of participation and are intended to recognize active contribution to the ecosystem.

• Incentives may vary depending on the amount of tokens staked and the duration of the staking period.

• Equal staking conditions (same amount and same duration) are subject to identical protocol rules.

• Any incentives distributed are variable, non-guaranteed, and dependent on network usage, protocol rules, and ecosystem conditions.

Staking incentives are not to be interpreted as interest, yield, or guaranteed return on investment.

Participants may have the option, where supported by the protocol, to reinvest received incentives into subsequent staking periods.

This compounding mechanism is optional and subject to:

• applicable protocol parameters,

• network conditions,

• and governance decisions.

The availability of compounding does not imply any assurance of future outcomes or performance.

At the end of the staking period:

• the initially staked CDK tokens are released,

• any applicable incentives, if allocated by the protocol, may be distributed simultaneously.

Unstaking conditions, timelines, and any applicable constraints are defined by the protocol and may evolve over time through governance mechanisms.

The staking mechanism described herein is a functional component of the CodeNekt ecosystem and is intended to support network participation and protocol operations.

It does not constitute:

• a financial product,

• an investment contract,

• or a promise of profit or guaranteed remuneration.

Participation in staking involves inherent risks, including but not limited to market volatility, protocol changes, and regulatory developments.

The idea for CodeNekt was born in 2017 with the vision of creating a solution to ensure reliable vehicle history tracking.
