$RWACu is a copper-backed token on Base, issued by mj41, LLC — a blockchain company rooted in American industrial manufacturing. Behind the token is a family business with decades of precision copper component production for automotive assembly robotics. There's a shop floor. There's machinery. There's copper.
This is not an investment. This is an experiment. A 10-year study in how a token behaves when correlated to a real-world industrial asset. Its a study on how to create, grow, and return value to holders without making promises and hyping up. The only promise I make is to do my job to grow desirability to the reserve of assets.
The name "500 Lbs Of Copper In A Steel Drum" is literal. The drum holds exactly 500 lbs because that's the limit of our crane and floor scales — a real industrial constraint turned into a feature. Each drum is discrete, auditable, movable. The open experiment allows mj41, LLC to add up to 100 additional drums over the life of the token — a ceiling of 101 drums, 50,500 lbs of copper.
Each steel drum is a discrete, portable, auditable unit of copper. The 500 lb limit isn't arbitrary — it's a physical constraint of our manufacturing scale infrastructure. That constraint became the design.
Every drum is independently auditable and mobile. This structure makes custodianship clean, verification straightforward, and logistics manageable — for both domestic and international participants.
$RWACu starts as a community token — copper-coded and culture-forward. Three preliminary goals drive everything:
$RWACu is a finite edition by design — a beginning, a middle with real value flowing to holders, and a defined end on February 14, 2036. Year 10 is the "Big Payback": the final distribution event where the experiment concludes and holders get theirs. There is no early burn-and-redeem mechanic. The value builds over the full lifecycle, and the payoff is at the end. That's the point.
Staking is actively in development and targeted for the first half of 2026. A marketplace for physical copper bullion, home goods, art, and custom fabricated pieces is also on the horizon.
No promises. These are the intended phases of the experiment, subject to what reality teaches us.
These are the professional-grade strategies being researched and developed to grow and deliver value throughout the experiment's lifecycle.
The most ambitious design: run the 10-year lifecycle as a series of embedded economic experiments using game theory. Quarterly decision rounds where holders submit sealed bids on micro-allocations of the reserve, using zero-knowledge proofs to prevent collusion. Nash equilibrium outcomes reward collective optimization. Deviations are penalized and logged for data.
Layer in behavioral tests from prospect theory (Kahneman and Tversky), framing identical choices as gains vs. losses to measure holder psychology. In years 5 thru 8, introduce asymmetric information games: select holders receive early copper market data. Do they share it or hoard it? All traces on-chain.
Year 10 Culmination: A Dutch-style descending auction for the entire reserve. Staked $RWACu buys in. Non-winners receive fiat equivalents or NFTs representing ownership of the anonymized behavioral dataset, monetizable to academic researchers and macro traders studying commodity-token correlation.
This is mechanism design meeting experimental economics. Vernon Smith's lab auctions meet Elinor Ostrom's commons governance, in a steel drum full of copper.
An interim whitepaper is available now and covers the full 2026 beta year. It is the honest, working document for this phase of the experiment. The official data-backed whitepaper is being built throughout 2026 and will be published on January 1, 2027.
Governance stance: Until a formal community structure exists, mj41, LLC is the sole decision maker. Every decision will be documented transparently including the method used (research, community input, or a coin flip). Honesty is the policy.

Launch: FEY Protocol · TGC
Model: Finite edition · 10-year lifecycle
$RWACu was launched on FEY Protocol, a transparent onchain Token Generation Ceremony platform. Every participant, allocation, and liquidity movement is on-chain. No presales. No hidden allocations. No backroom deals. The fair launch philosophy aligns with the experiment's core values.

The mj41 ecosystem is interconnected. Being an early believer in one mj41 token has weight. The original 69 $SCRxrp holders will not be forgotten when $RWACu distribution events are structured. Stay in the channel, stay informed.
