RARE TOKEN
Designed to build a global trading and storage network centered on rare earth resources
Project Overview
RARE Token is a cryptocurrency issued by the decentralized autonomous organization RARE DAO. It is designed to build a global trading and storage network centered on rare earth resources. Through on-chain settlement, asset mapping, and smart contract governance, the project aims to enhance transparency, reduce intermediaries in the rare earth market, and provide token holders with governance rights and profit-sharing mechanisms.
The core goal of the RARE Token is to become the new standard unit of value for rare earth trading, linking resource suppliers and demand-side participants, and reducing the cost and trust barriers in global rare earth transactions.
Industry Background & Market Opportunity
Rare earth elements are widely used in new energy, military, electronics, and high-end manufacturing, making them strategic resources of the 21st century. However, the current rare earth market faces issues such as price opacity, supply instability, and inefficient cross-border settlement.
As global demand for electric vehicles, renewable energy, and advanced semiconductors grows, the geopolitical sensitivity of rare earths increases. RARE Token addresses these pain points by leveraging blockchain to enhance trading and regulatory transparency, establishing a digital, trustworthy, and globally accessible value system for rare earth resources.
Core Advantages of RARE Token
Asset Anchoring
Issuance of RARE Tokens is backed by real rare earth trading and inventory data, enabling on-chain value mapping.
DAO Governance
Utilizes a decentralized weighted governance mechanism to balance the interests of resource providers, users, and developers.
Cross-Chain Compatibility
Supports multi-chain deployment and seamless conversion between major public chains and rare earth platforms.
Real Utility
RARE serves not only for governance but also as a medium for settlement, collateral, and supply chain payments.
Sustainable Yield
Revenue from transaction fees, staking rewards, and service income flows back to the DAO treasury, creating long-term value for holders.
DAO Governance Mechanism
RARE DAO is the project’s core decision-making body. It uses a multi-layered weighted voting mechanism based on token holdings, contribution level, and participation frequency. The DAO consists of the core development team, resource verification group, and a voting committee.
The governance process includes: proposal submission → community discussion → token holder voting → smart contract execution.
All governance data is recorded on-chain, ensuring transparency and preventing centralized interference.
Technical Architecture & Smart Contract System
RARE Token is built on an EVM-compatible blockchain with Layer 2 scalability solutions for high efficiency and low fees. The system adopts a modular architecture, with key smart contracts including:
Trading Contract
Facilitates rare earth buy/sell orders, on-chain settlements, and transaction recording.
Staking & Profit Sharing Contract
Allows holders to stake RARE and earn rewards from transaction fees and ecosystem services.
Governance Voting Contract
All proposals, voting, and execution processes are transparently managed via smart contracts.
Asset Mapping Contract
Maps real-world rare earth inventory or certificates to on-chain tokens, enabling two-way asset-token linkage.
The system also supports API access and a cross-chain bridge (RARE Bridge) to integrate with supply chain companies, clearing banks, and other Web3 platforms.

Value Proposition of RARE
RARE Token is not just a trading medium but a core asset of the rare earth financial ecosystem, supported by
Asset-Backed:
Each RARE token corresponds to real-world rare earth transactions or reserves.
Sustainable Revenue Streams:
- On-chain transaction fees (0.2–0.5%)
- Supply chain service income
- Data authorization and verification fees
Scarcity and Demand:
Rare earth supply is limited, and global demand is rising steadily. As the sole settlement token, demand for RARE grows with transaction volume.
Governance Incentives:
Participants in governance receive RARE rewards, ensuring ongoing utility and circulation.
Alternative for Cross-Border Settlement:
For emerging economies seeking de-dollarization, RARE offers a fast, low-cost, and regulation-light rare earth settlement channel.
Ecosystem Development
RARE DAO is actively building a full-spectrum ecosystem covering the upstream and downstream rare earth industry, including:

4.
Third-Party Certification
Partners with audit firms to provide verification and backing for resource-linked tokens.
5.
RARE Wiki
An educational platform to help users understand rare earth and Web3 integration.
