Peloton's network technology and smart contracts convert legal rights and economic interests in "real world assets" - into programmable blockchain based digital securities or tokens that are created and transferred by their issuer within applicable regulatory frameworks. The next era of innovation in financial markets infrastructure is digital, it is open, and it enables the creation of new markets, new business models and revenue streams.

Peloton's technology enables asset owners across any sector (real estate, data centre capacity, environmental certificates, contemporary art etc.) to tokenise their assets, thereby creating liquidity and enabling transparent, accessible and efficient markets for those assets. Tokenisation or digital securitization is the process of splitting ownership of any underlying asset into fractional parts, each part represented by a cryptographic token, where each token may be traded and may have a maturity date upon which it will deliver to the holder a formal contract for delivery, cash or access to an online system.

Therefore, the Peloton platform bridges traditional and digital asset markets, allowing token issuers to expand into new asset classes - providing investors and liquidity providers access to new regulated market compliant products and opportunities and thereby providing an innovative funding solutions to new markets.

Peloton has the ambition and capabilities to develop international markets around Security Token Offerings (STOs) and other digital assets by creating new and expanding existing markets, sourcing issuers and enabling liquidity by collaborating with various stakeholders and market participants.

Peloton is a capital markets fintech innovator that derives its revenue from consulting, listing and lifecycle management fees of blockchain based digital securities as well as the design and implementation of new commercial ecosystems. Peloton has built a blockchain based digital asset exchange and is working with regulated tier one exchanges who intend to use Peloton Blockchain's technology for their digital asset offering.

The Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) is a blind reverse auction run twice yearly, with competitive bids for carbon abatement being awarded contracts with the Clean Energy regulator (CER). The ERF is centred on the principle of "least cost abatement". Projects are funded first on the basis of a comparative analysis of their financial cost of reducing emissions or sequestering (or locking up) carbon, or price per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-e), and the total volume of carbon being offered. The cheapest carbon is purchased first, which seems reasonable when spending public funds (Consolidated Revenue).

There are three major flaws with the ERF:

Firstly, the ERF does not take into consideration the Total Economic Value (TEV) of projects when awarding contracts. So projects that might be slightly more expensive per unit carbon cost but deliver much greater economic and social values, such as job creation or biodiversity protection, can miss out on ERF contracts.
Secondly, the ERF auctions are not transparent. The Regulator only reveals the average price paid for carbon credits, so the public (whose funds are being invested) are not able to directly compare the benefits of one project with another and achieve "price discovery", as the market is opaque.
Finally, the ERF is heavily biased towards aggregation. Small projects are largely excluded from participation as fixed costs such as auditing & compliance.

Ecosystem Exchange 3 solves all of the above flaws by introducing a transparent, secure token trading platform.
