(DOVU)

The original $DOV was an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, later bridged to Hedera. The new $DOVU (Hedera Token ID: `0.0.3716059`) is the current, Hedera-native token. This migration, completed in September 2023, aimed to streamline the token structure, enhance security, and align with DOVU's "DOVU OS" long-term vision. Holders of $DOV during the September 11, 2023 snapshot were eligible for a 1:1 airdrop of $DOVU. While the main migration window has passed, individuals still holding old tokens should consult the official migration portal for any remaining options.

The $TRUST token is a new utility asset specifically designed to power DOVU's "Trust Operating System" (DOVU OS). While $DOVU serves as the primary asset for marketplace transactions and governance, $TRUST acts as a crucial reward and coordination layer, promoting verifiable trust within the ecosystem. Users can primarily acquire $TRUST by staking $DOVU. During late 2025, $DOVU staking rewards were adjusted to encourage the accumulation of $TRUST among stakers. The token launched on the Base (L2) network for initial liquidity but is also bridged to Hedera for core utility.

DOVU staking, accessible via the DOVU Marketplace, employs a "multi-boost" system to maximize user rewards. Key multipliers include "Carbon Hands," which increases yield the longer a stake is held (up to 180 days), and a "Marketplace Multiplier," providing a significant boost when users purchase carbon credits directly from the DOVU market. A "Lifetime Bonus" is also available for very early adopters who maintain an unbroken stake. As of early 2026, stakers are earning rewards in a combination of both $DOVU and $TRUST tokens, offering diversified returns for participants.

The $DOVU token holds several essential utilities within the ecosystem. It serves as the primary payment method for acquiring carbon and biodiversity credits directly on the DOVU marketplace. Furthermore, $DOVU empowers holders with governance rights, enabling them to vote on "DOVU Improvement Proposals" (DIPs) that shape the project's future. The token also fuels the "Charger Protocol" within the DOVU OS, required for critical actions like data verification. Additionally, a built-in burn mechanism for certain ecosystem activities helps reduce the total supply, contributing to deflationary pressure.

DOVU strategically chose the Hedera network for several compelling reasons. Hedera provides exceptionally low and fixed transaction fees, crucial for enabling the high volume of micro-transactions associated with carbon credit trading. Its carbon-negative status aligns seamlessly with DOVU’s overarching environmental, social, and governance (ESG) mission. A significant technical advantage is the integration with the Hedera Guardian, an open-source policy engine. This technology is vital for guaranteeing that all tokenized carbon credits are auditable, fully traceable, and protected against the risk of double-counting, ensuring integrity in the carbon market.

DOVU's "Carbon Credits" represent tokenized ecological assets, distinct from the $DOVU utility token. When a project successfully offsets carbon emissions (e.g., through reforestation or sustainable farming), DOVU mints an NFT or a specific Hedera Token Service (HTS) token. Each credit verifies the offset of one tonne of CO2. For companies aiming to achieve carbon neutrality, these credits can be purchased and then "retired" or burned on-chain. This process creates an immutable, transparent, and auditable record, unequivocally proving that the specified amount of carbon has been permanently offset from the atmosphere.
