Rebirth Protocol & RLY (Reality+) Utility Token
A Compliance-Aligned Litepaper (Public Version)
Download as PDF1. Introduction
The Rebirth Protocol is a compliance-first system designed to responsibly recover and reallocate value from dormant or inactive on-chain assets.
Through the Rebirth Engine, users can voluntarily burn unsupported or inactive crypto assets, earn Rebirth Credits, and convert those credits into RLY (Reality+), a utility token that powers access, coordination, and participation across a growing ecosystem of compliant Web3 applications.
Rebirth is the first consumer-facing application built on PixelPai's compliance and settlement protocol. PixelPai acts as the regulated infrastructure provider, handling identity, compliance, monitoring, custody flows, and reporting across jurisdictions.
2. The Problem
Over time, blockchain ecosystems accumulate large volumes of inactive or unsupported tokens. These assets:
- Remain permanently in user wallets without utility
- Create fragmented and unusable on-chain value
- Increase compliance and AML risk exposure
- Offer no compliant recovery path for users or projects
At the same time, Web3 platforms lack infrastructure to recover dormant value and reallocate it into productive ecosystems in a transparent and regulated way.
3. The Rebirth Protocol
3.1 Rebirth Engine Overview
The Rebirth Protocol introduces a structured and auditable process:
-
Burn
Users voluntarily burn inactive or unsupported tokens on-chain. -
Earn Rebirth Credits
Burned assets generate Rebirth Credits on a 1:1 unit basis. -
Convert
Rebirth Credits can be converted into RLY or, in later phases, approved partner tokens.
This separation between asset destruction and token issuance enables a compliant and transparent recovery flow.
3.2 Supported Networks & Asset Scope
At launch, the Rebirth Engine supports inactive or unsupported assets across 15 blockchain networks, including both EVM and non-EVM environments.
Asset recovery is chain-agnostic, while utility issuance is consolidated to ensure consistent monitoring, settlement, and regulatory alignment.
4. Rebirth Credits
Rebirth Credits are an internal platform utility unit.
They are:
- Off-chain
- Non-transferable
- Not redeemable for fiat
- Not crypto-assets under MiCA
- Used exclusively within the Rebirth ecosystem
Rebirth Credits function as:
- A neutral accounting layer
- A compliance buffer between asset recovery and token issuance
- A controlled access mechanism to on-chain utility
5. RLY (Reality+) Utility Token
5.1 Token Classification (MiCA)
RLY is classified as a utility token under MiCA Article 3(1)(5).
RLY is not:
- An Electronic Money Token (EMT)
- An Asset-Referenced Token (ART)
- A security or investment product
RLY does not grant:
- Ownership rights
- Revenue participation
- Yield or profit entitlement
- Claims against PixelPai ApS
5.2 Core Utility Functions
RLY is required for:
- Converting Rebirth Credits into on-chain utility
- Accessing advanced platform features
- Participating in governance mechanisms
- Routing and liquidity pairing for partner projects
- Coordinating ecosystem-wide participation
RLY functions as the platform utility and settlement token across all Rebirth-enabled products.
5.3 Network & Token Standard
RLY is issued as an ERC20 utility token on the Arbitrum network, selected for its EVM compatibility, scalability, and ecosystem maturity.
The RLY smart contract has been audited by OpenZeppelin, following industry-standard security review practices.
6. Token Supply & Distribution
Total Supply: 2,000,000,000 RLY (fixed, non-inflationary)
6.1 Allocation
| Allocation | RLY Tokens |
|---|---|
| Rebirth Distribution Pool | 1,500,000,000 |
| Ecosystem Growth (marketing, partnerships, team, operations) | 500,000,000 |
| Total | 2,000,000,000 |
No additional minting is possible.
6.2 Rebirth Distribution Mechanics
- Base conversion rate: 100 Rebirth Credits = 1 RLY
- Early participation bonuses may apply during defined phases
- Bonuses are:
- Time-limited
- Protocol-defined
- Designed to incentivize early usage, not financial speculation
Distribution is expected to complete within approximately 18 months, after which RLY becomes fully circulating.
7. Conversion Fees & Payment
Converting Rebirth Credits into RLY or future approved partner tokens requires payment of a conversion fee.
Key principles:
- Fees are applied at the conversion stage, not during token burning
- Fees may vary depending on the quantity of Rebirth Credits being converted
- All conversion fees must be paid in stablecoins
- Accepted stablecoins may include, but are not limited to, USD-denominated stablecoins
Fees are designed to:
- Support platform operations and compliance costs
- Discourage abusive or exploitative usage
- Enable sustainable ecosystem growth
Fee parameters are transparent and may be adjusted through governance processes.
8. Community & Governance
Rebirth is designed as a community-driven ecosystem.
RLY holders may participate in:
- Voting on ecosystem milestones
- Allocation of platform revenues
- Prioritization of new features and integrations
Governance remains utility-focused and compliance-aware.
9. B2B2C Platform Model & Ecosystem Expansion
9.1 Rebirth as a B2B2C Infrastructure Platform
The Rebirth Engine operates as a B2B2C infrastructure platform.
PixelPai provides regulated compliance, settlement, and monitoring infrastructure to approved partner projects (B2B), while Rebirth offers a consumer-facing interface (B2C) where users can connect their wallet and interact with supported assets.
Approved partner projects may:
- List their utility token within the Rebirth ecosystem
- Enable users to convert Rebirth Credits into partner tokens
- Leverage PixelPai's compliance, identity, and monitoring infrastructure
Users interact directly with Rebirth, while partners integrate at the infrastructure layer.
9.2 RLY as Ecosystem Routing Token
All partner integrations require:
- RLY as the routing and liquidity pairing token
- Alignment with protocol parameters
- Compliance approval via PixelPai
This establishes RLY as the shared utility layer across multiple projects.
10. Wallet Screening, Custody & Withdrawals
When users connect a wallet, automated wallet screening and sanctions checks are performed in alignment with AML, FATF, and EU regulatory requirements.
To support compliant flows, Rebirth generates a platform-linked custodial wallet associated with the user profile. This custodial wallet temporarily holds Rebirth Credits, RLY, and supported assets within the platform.
Key principles:
- Assets remain associated with the user at all times
- Custodial wallets are used solely to support regulated flows
- Users may request withdrawal to an external non-custodial wallet
Withdrawals may require identity verification (KYC) depending on jurisdiction, thresholds, and applicable regulation.
Custody and wallet operations are handled through specialized third-party providers meeting industry security and compliance standards.
11. Compliance & Regulatory Alignment
Rebirth and RLY are designed in alignment with internationally recognized standards, including:
- MiCA (EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation)
- AML / KYC frameworks
- FATF recommendations
- GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation)
Compliance is a core design principle of the protocol.
