Whitepaper
This whitepaper is a broad, plain-language overview of Red Ball Token architecture, token behavior, governance assumptions, security model, and operational boundaries. It is written to be transparent for both users and operators.
1. Protocol Purpose and Design Principles
- Cricket-first digital protocol focused on transparent participation and outcomes.
- Wallet-first identity model with no mandatory centralized account profile.
- Deterministic event processing so clients can independently verify derived state.
- Public community layer for RedPost, announcements, and Redbugs.
2. Event-Driven Architecture
Core actions are represented as signed events. Clients rebuild state by replaying accepted events and validating ordering, signatures, and protocol rules. Relay/global identifiers improve cross-wallet consistency and reduce divergence.
3. Wallet, Identity, and Recovery
- Wallet is the user identity, not a centralized account username/password.
- Create/restore flow uses user-managed recovery factors and strong passcode controls.
- Private signing keys are device-managed under self-custody assumptions.
- User security hygiene remains a critical part of account safety.
4. Rewards, Bonuses, and Token Mechanics
- Rewards are rule-driven from accepted event history.
- Daily bonus follows eligibility windows (not unlimited retriggers).
- New-wallet bonus is one-time claimable and disabled after successful claim.
- Burn/fee behavior follows active protocol configuration and replay logic.
5. Data, Sync, and Visibility Model
- Clients maintain local event/state history and synchronize through relay/API services.
- Validation and deduplication controls are used to reduce inconsistent event views.
- Some protocol/community activity is intentionally public for cross-wallet visibility.
- Operational datasets (matches, content JSON) are backend-managed for consistency.
6. Security and Threat Assumptions
Security relies on signed events, deterministic replay validation, and correct credential handling by users. Compromised devices, leaked recovery factors, or malicious integrations can impact account safety and data integrity. Security controls reduce risk but do not eliminate all risk.
7. Governance, Compliance, and Limitations
- Protocol behavior evolves through product and operational updates.
- Legal treatment varies by region; users/operators remain responsible for compliance.
- Nothing in this whitepaper is investment, legal, or tax advice.
- Published policy pages and active release behavior are the current source of truth.
8. Roadmap and Change Management
The system is actively evolving. Roadmap milestones, operational rules, and documentation are updated as the platform matures. Use the Vision & Roadmap page and release updates for the most current status.
