How TCu29 Works
Discover the complete TCu29 ecosystem: from secure physical copper storage to multiple redemption pathways, providing flexibility and liquidity options.
1. What is TCu29?
- A Digital Commodity Claim: TCu29 is a Real-World Asset (RWA) token. Each TCu29 token represents a direct claim on one pound (1 lb) of physical copper.
- Physically Backed: Unlike purely digital cryptocurrencies, every TCu29 token in circulation is backed by an equivalent amount of physical copper.
- Blockchain Efficiency: Built on leading blockchain technology (multi-chain), TCu29 offers the benefits of digital assets: easy transferability, divisibility, and integration capabilities.
2. The Copper Backing: Secured & Verified
Maintaining the integrity of the 1:1 backing is fundamental. We employ a multi-layered approach for security and transparency.
Key Assurance Layers:
Physical Inventory: Verified, copper in secured warehouse facilities.
Regular Audits: Independent third-party verification of reserves vs. supply. Reports are made public.
Performance Guarantees: Financial instruments (e.g., surety bonds) guarantee redemption obligations.
Insurance: Stored copper insured against risks like theft, fire, and damage.

Secondary Markets: May become available on select digital asset exchanges (subject to listings and regulations).
4. Holding & Using TCu29
- Digital Ownership: Holding TCu29 tokens means holding a verifiable digital claim on physical copper.
- Multi-Chain Flexibility: Operates on Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, etc., offering choices for security, cost, or speed. Your claim remains consistently backed.
- Transferability: Easily transfer tokens between compatible wallets on their respective blockchains.
5. Redeeming TCu29: Accessing Value
TCu29 provides distinct pathways to realize the value of the underlying copper, offering flexibility for different needs.
Option 1: Direct Physical Delivery
Primarily for AML/KYC-approved businesses & accredited participants meeting minimums (e.g., LME contract size).
Redeem tokens directly for physical copper shipment via a structured process (verification, logistics coordination). Provides tangible copper for industrial use or strategic holdings.
Redemption: Option 1 Flow
Option 2: Buyback by Tempestas Copper Inc.
Discretionary buybacks when restocking reserves.
Tempestas may offer discretionary buybacks when restocking reserves, typically at slight discount to market rate through time-limited offers communicated via the official portal. Availability and pricing depend on Tempestas's operational needs and market conditions.
Redemption: Option 2 Flow - Buyback
Option 3: Redemption via Offtake Agreements
Convert tokens to fiat or stablecoins through institutional buyer arrangements.
Token holders can redeem through institutional offtake agreements with pre-defined pricing pegged to spot or trailing market averages. Such purchase arrangements are between the institutional buyers and the token holder and are not to be construed as an agreement between TCu29 and the token holder or institutional buyer. Redemptions may involve waiting periods up to 12 months with quarterly or biannual redemption windows based on buyer demand and allocation schedules.
Redemption: Option 3 Flow - Offtake Agreements
Option 4: Exchange Listing (Secondary Market Liquidity)
Digital asset exchange trading for peer-to-peer liquidity.
Token holders can trade TCu29 tokens on digital asset exchanges, providing market-determined liquidity and pricing. This enables peer-to-peer trading as an alternative to physical redemption, with exchange conditions determining market availability.
