Candesco Network
Candesco — To light the whole world.
1. Vision
Candesco is a virtual energy-inspired mobile experience built around light, activity, progression and community.
Users take part in a symbolic digital energy network by activating a daily light cycle, building their progress and connecting with others.
2. The Candesco Experience
By interacting with the digital light bulb, users start a 24-hour generation cycle and collect CNDS, a symbolic virtual in-app reward.
Candesco combines daily activity, progression, badges, scratches, friends, referrals and optional boosts into one energy-inspired community experience.
3. Energy-Inspired Design
Candesco uses concepts from electrical engineering as symbolic inspiration for its reward mechanics.
Instead of arbitrary values, the base generation rate and boost values are inspired by real electrical formulas. This creates a system that feels thematic, intuitive and connected to the idea of light and energy.
4. Core Energy Formula
Candesco’s generation model is inspired by the electrical power formula:
P = U × I
Where:
P = Power, measured in Watts (W)
U = Voltage, measured in Volts (V)
I = Current, measured in Amperes (A)
Rearranged:
I = P ÷ U
This formula is used symbolically to define the base generation rate and boost values.
5. Base Energy Generation
The base generation rate is:
0.348 CNDS/h
Simulation logic:
A standard 80W light bulb powered at 230V requires approximately:
I = 80W ÷ 230V
I ≈ 0.348A
In Candesco, this value becomes the symbolic base current of the digital light bulb:
Base Rate = 0.348 CNDS/h
6. Boost Mechanisms
Candesco includes optional boost mechanics that symbolically increase the user’s energy flow.
Friend Boost: +0.174 CNDS/h per active friend, up to 10 active friends.
Optional rewarded ads may activate temporary boosts of +0.087 CNDS/h per ad boost, up to 13 ad boosts per 24-hour cycle.
7. Social and Activity Boosts
Candesco may include additional symbolic boosts for social tasks, app engagement, scratches, badges, referrals or other in-app activities.
These mechanics may be adjusted over time to protect fairness, sustainability and user experience.
8. Emission Control and Halving
Candesco includes a user-growth-based halving mechanism designed to reduce generation rates as the network grows.
Halvings = floor(Total Users ÷ 500,000)
Adjusted Rate = Initial Rate ÷ 2^Halvings
At 0–499,999 users: 0.348 CNDS/h
At 500,000 users: 0.174 CNDS/h
At 1,000,000 users: 0.087 CNDS/h
The same halving logic can apply to base generation and boost rates.
9. Referral and Promotional Incentives
Candesco may include referral rewards and promotional incentives to support community growth.
When a new user joins with a valid referral code, the invited user may receive a starting bonus of 13 CNDS. The inviter may receive 6 CNDS for a successful referral, limited to the first 30 successful referral rewards.
Reward amounts, limits, eligibility and availability may change over time.
10. Fair Use and Sustainability
Candesco is designed to be lightweight and accessible.
The app does not use device CPU, GPU or battery to mine cryptocurrency or process blockchain transactions.
Candesco may use Firebase App Check, account rules, rate limits and other security mechanisms to reduce bots, scripts, emulators, modified apps, fake accounts and other non-authentic activity.
Users who violate fair-use rules may have access restricted, rewards reset or accounts suspended.
11. Monetization
Candesco may use Google AdMob and other approved monetization systems to support development, infrastructure, maintenance and future ecosystem growth.
Rewarded ads are optional for core app access, but may contribute to certain boosts, progression tasks or reward mechanics.
Advertising availability and rewards may vary by country, device, platform and third-party provider policies.
12. Potential Future Evolution
Candesco may explore additional ecosystem, technology, or interoperability solutions in the future, including potential blockchain or on-chain options.
No such development is planned, promised, or guaranteed. Any future decision would depend on technical feasibility, user growth, legal and regulatory conditions, business sustainability, and ecosystem readiness.
If a future expansion is considered, it would be described separately in updated official documentation, such as a future Whitepaper version.
13. Legal Notice
CNDS is a virtual in-app reward used only within the Candesco application.
CNDS has no cash value and cannot currently be traded, transferred, exchanged, sold or withdrawn.
Candesco does not perform hardware mining or process blockchain transactions. CNDS progression is based on in-app activity and simulated reward mechanics.
Candesco may update, limit, rebalance or pause features and rewards to protect fairness, security and sustainability.
