Welltrado will seek funding through an ICO (Initial Coin Ofering) in March 2018.
The Welltrado token sold during the token launch is known as the Welltrado token,
or WTL. This is the only time that these tokens can be created, and therefore the
total supply of WTL is fixed.
Fees
Fees, similar to those of a P2P lending market, will be charged to participants on the Welltrado
services and applications layers (but as a reminder, not the basic core layer). These fees will
initially be denominated in cryptocurrency, namely ETH.
WAT tokens
Welltrado seeks to not only create interesting software, but also a community of those interested
in sharing their lending wisdom about Welltrado markets. To do this, we have created a model that
lowers the barrier to entry for repeat users (e.g., having to pay ETH repeatedly). Therefore, in
addition to paying this fee in ETH, Welltrado ecosystem participants will be able to pay the fee in
Welltrado Access Tokens, or WAT tokens.
Welltrado Access Token (WAT) can be used to pay platform fees on the services layer or for
buying/selling in Welltrado loans market or paying fees for funds management.
WAT will be pegged to $1 worth of fees. This way, WAT acts as a coupon for $1 of use within
Welltrado.
Smart contract
Welltrado tokens (WTL) are the generator for access token (WAT) creation. WAT can only be
created via activating the utility of the Welltrado (WTL) tokens. This is done via a smart contract
system.
The smart contract works as follows: WTL holders agree to “lock” their tokens in a smart contract
(min. 1 month). A multiplier is added for longer lock durations. The smart contract determines the
user selected lock duration and applies that duration to a formula that is designed to regulate the
supply of Welltrado tokens currently in use.

Prior to locking their WT in the smart contract, users will be able to see exactly how much WAT
they will receive as a result of executing the smart contract.
Once users execute the contract, 30% of their WAT will be distributed for immediate use, and the
remaining 70% will be distributed proportionally over the locked duration.
Once the lock duration expires, the locked WTL ceases to generate WAT, and the WTL becomes
freely transferable by the holder. There is no limit (other than duration) for how many times
Welltrado tokens may be used to create WAT
Sustainability
How can Welltrado remain viable if participants choose not to pay in WAT?
A core value proposition of Welltrado (and decentralization) is to guarantee future characteristics
of platforms to both retail and institutional investors, without relying on the trustworthiness of an
operating company. In order to do this, elements including fee rates must be codified into the
software itself. It is expected that WAT will be the overwhelmingly predominant method for
paying fees in the Welltrado ecosystem.
