Caduceus Protocol is a decentralised blockchain infrastructure platform designed to support Web3, AI, XR, and metaverse applications. It integrates decentralised edge rendering technology, enabling distributed computing and high-performance rendering capabilities. This allows developers and users to deploy demanding applications, such as immersive 3D environments, without the high energy costs or latency commonly associated with traditional blockchain systems.

Key features of Caduceus Protocol include:

• Decentralised Edge Rendering: Distributes rendering workloads to edge nodes, enhancing performance and reducing latency for AI and XR applications.
• Deep Modularity: Offers a flexible, customisable blockchain architecture, enabling tailored solutions for various use cases by combining pluggable modules:content.
• High-Performance Processing: Supports parallel execution and memory-based systems to achieve high transaction throughput, making it suitable for data-intensive applications:content.
• Distributed Storage: Integrates with InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) to provide decentralised, resilient storage of large files, multimedia, and NFT metadata:content.
• Smart Contract Development: Supports multiple execution engines (EVM, WASM) and provides SDKs for various programming languages, facilitating DApp development:content.
• Consensus Algorithm: Utilises a DAG-based consensus model (MetaNebula and MetaNeuron) that supports asynchronous processing, improving efficiency and scalability.

CMPV2 is the native token of the Caduceus Protocol ecosystem. It plays a central role in facilitating network operations and supporting decentralised applications and services. The token’s main functions include:

• Transaction Fees: Used to pay for transactions and smart contract execution across the network.
• Governance: Enables token holders to participate in on-chain governance, including protocol upgrades, community proposals, and funding allocations.
• Access to Network Services: Required for services such as decentralised edge rendering, distributed storage, and cloud computing features.
• Incentives: Distributed to participants who contribute to the network by operating nodes, providing storage, or offering decentralised rendering services. This incentivises ongoing participation and ensures network stability and security.

Although 'CAD' was the ticker assigned at the deployment of the Caduceus Protocol token's smart contract, it is in use by the fiat currency Canadian Dollar (CAD). Due to this association and to avoid confusion in the marketplace, the alternative ticker 'CMPV2' has been adopted for this token. This designation is specifically used to ensure that assets are distinctly identified.
