2021 Year in Review for RED Platform

REd Year in review 2021

Looking back

2021 Year in Review for RED Platform. After a difficult 2020 for all of us, with the pandemic and Kucoin hack, our hard work to reveal our promised RED Platform, 2021 started in good terms announcing the first Partnership with an important Investment Fund from the US – Interlink Capital. This collaboration will bring 500 million USD investments in building solar panels all across the Balkans area.

Also, 2021 continued to be a hard period for us and the energy industry as a whole, with implications in many other domains like shipping, semiconductors, car industry, agriculture, and even crypto mining.

As you know or some of you may not, we are acting also as a real-world business company, and challenges were tough. Energy and gas prices skyrocketed throughout Europe and we were forced to make some tough business actions. We decided to quit the gas delivery part to minimize the losses and we are concentrating now only on electricity, renewable investments, and blockchain.

Regarding this, we tried to keep you weekly updated before launching the platform and we will resume this habit starting with next year, mostly because there will be many, many things to reveal to you. The New Year comes with very exciting perspectives and unique business opportunities.

Some conclusions

We know it was hard for all of you to see the unlisting event, feeling that you were being blocked and did not have alternatives.

This was painful for us, too. For instance, we had to move fast, make changes, adapt our exchange for the new market conditions, and make sure we were legally compliant in full for our users to be able to use our platform in the best conditions.

As a team, we have gathered and thought of the best ways to tackle this new situation that came in at an unexpected time and that affected not only our users, but also our platform and future developments that were ready for the launch.

After that, we have managed to overcome this challenge and have adapted our strategy to a new and brighter 2022. In addition, we have learned a valuable lesson, our future listings and market-making decisions will be strongly linked to the business development of our platform and will come in balance with our growth.

This is the reason we have tried to finalize our working projects as soon as possible and we are confident that we could change this in the next few months.

Let’s have a look at what we are aiming for

RED has ambitious plans, developments, and projects on the table. Our goal is to continue developing as the first end-to-end Blockchain Operating System for Sustainability on the market. This concept is unique and we aim at becoming the best through developments that will greatly help sustainable projects, project developers, companies, entrepreneurs who desire to launch their own sustainability company through the RED Franchise. A place where you can find specialists to calculate, provide consultancy, and offset solutions, along with endless opportunities to transform your business into a sustainable one! We can only say the growing provisions are immense!

Let’s see an abstract of what is coming. On this occasion, we will also share a part of the information that will be available in the whitepaper that is coming up next month.

Products

Carbon Emission Calculation and Offset Solutions – companies will be able to calculate and offset their carbon footprint through our RED Franchises.

Sustainable Projects on the RED Platform: sustainable projects can be added on the RED platform to sell their carbon credits or to develop their projects.

ESG Tokens Launchpad – users and project developers can launch their sustainable tokens on the RED platform.

RED Franchises – RED Platform’s sales force in every country is carried out by a decentralized franchise model.

Renewable Energy Solutions: renewable energy producers receive REO-G tokens based on their energy production and will also be able to sell the energy directly to consumers through PPA contracts.

Strategy

According to what we said before and our current status, these ideas came out and will guide our strategy for the next period:

  • We deliver first, then we announce: this way, we avoid frustrations caused by delays.
  • Business is the number 1 priority: we create a sustainable demand for tokens and usage of our platform.
  • No more dependencies on a single exchange or even a single blockchain.
  • Customer-oriented products: we try to listen to our platform users’ voices.
  • More media and community exposure: regular updates, AMA sessions, media articles.
  • Increasing partnership agreements for mutual benefits.
  • Clearer business approach, easy to follow for anybody interested, as well as how-to, content, and educational content.
