***Although 'FRED' was the ticker assigned at the deployment of the FREDEnergy Token's smart contract, it is already in use by another asset with a larger market presence and higher trading volume on major exchanges. To avoid confusion in the marketplace, the alternative ticker 'FREDE' has been adopted for this token. This designation is specifically used to ensure that assets are distinctly identified.***
