The global automotive market faces a critical challenge: a lack of transparency and traceability in the lifecycle of vehicles. Whether purchasing a second-hand car or exporting vehicles to new markets, buyers, sellers, and regulatory bodies struggle to access reliable and comprehensive information. This gap in transparency has far-reaching consequences for safety, the environment, and market efficiency.

Maintaining a detailed and accessible record of a vehicle’s history is nearly impossible under current systems. As vehicles age, the difficulty of accessing reliable data only increases. This lack of traceability creates significant issues:
The problem of inadequate transparency extends beyond individual buyers and sellers. According to the International Transport Forum (ITF):
Recent high-profile recalls underscore the critical need for comprehensive tracking, even from the manufacturer’s perspective.
Stellantis has recalled specific vehicle brands due to significant defects, as highlighted in their press release (source: Stellantis Press Release. (2024). Vehicle Recall Notice).
The widespread Takata airbag defects have prompted safety recalls impacting millions of vehicles worldwide.
On May 17, 2024, Stellantis issued an urgent recall for Citroën C3 and DS Automobiles DS 3 models produced between 2009 and 2019, advising owners in Mediterranean regions to cease using these vehicles immediately and register for necessary repairs.
This situation underscores the necessity for a robust tracking systems.
Without comprehensive traceability, vehicle manufacturers, buyers, and regulators alike remain vulnerable to hidden risks, economic losses, and environmental harm.

The automotive industry is undergoing a digital transformation, and blockchain technology provides a foundational layer for addressing critical challenges related to data transparency, security, and efficiency. By integrating blockchain, CodeNekt ensures reliable, tamper-proof vehicle information management for all stakeholders.
CodeNekt is working on developing its own blockchain based on Avalanche, which provides distinct advantages, making it the perfect solution to address the challenges within the automotive ecosystem:
Automation via Smart Contracts: Blockchain enables automated processes, such as triggering notifications for inspections or processing insurance claims, through smart contracts, reducing inefficiencies and costs.
CodeNekt creates a secure and unique digital identity for each vehicle using CodeNekt blockchain technology. This solution leverages NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) to establish a distinct and tamper-proof identifier for every vehicle.
The use of CodeNekt platform extends beyond vehicle identity to benefit all stakeholders in the mobility ecosystem:
Insurers: Access verified accident and repair histories, enabling faster claims processing and accurate risk assessments.
A token for the management of the CodeNekt ecosystem and for a standard in the automotive industry.
The CDK Token serves as the native utility token of the CodeNekt blockchain, playing a major role in empowering the platform’s ecosystem.
Key Economic Functions
Governance and Voting Rights
CDK holders can influence the platform’s development by participating in decentralized governance, enabling the community to shape the future of CodeNekt.
The CDK Token is the native token of CodeNekt blockchain. Our token adheres to the ERC20 standard, ensuring compatibility with wallets, exchanges and other Ethereum-based applications.
Token details
The total supply of CDK tokens is capped at 10,000,000,000 strategically allocated across various categories for specific purposes.
This distribution aims to balance the needs for growth, team motivation, and ecosystem development while ensuring a sustainable and transparent approach to the token’s usage.
The table below outlines the token distribution:
Categories | % of Total Supply | Purposes |
Seed/Private/Public Sale | 14% | Tokens allocated to raise funds for the initial development and launch of the project. These tokens are sold to early investors, enabling the growth of the platform. |
Operating team | 14% | Tokens reserved for the core team to incentivize and motivate the project’s long-term success. This ensures the team is aligned with the project’s mission and growth. |
Advisors | 5% | Tokens set aside to reward the valuable guidance and strategic support provided by advisors. Their expertise ensures informed decision-making and successful execution of the project. |
Development | 12% | Tokens dedicated to the ongoing development of the CodeNekt platform, including product enhancements, technical updates, and expanding the blockchain infrastructure. |
Ecosystem Incentives | 15% | Tokens used to stimulate innovation and collaboration within the ecosystem. These will be allocated to developers, entrepreneurs and partners to create new products and services. These tokens will also be used for marketing and communication needs but also for our community engagement (Rewards, Airdrops). |
Liquidity (CEX / DEX) | 10% | Tokens reserved for ensuring liquidity on both centralized and decentralized exchanges. This helps maintain an efficient market for the CDK token. |
Additional reserve | 20% | A reserve fund set aside to address potential future needs, unexpected events, and project growth. This ensures flexibility and stability for long-term sustainability. |
Reserves (Listing / Legal) | 10% | Tokens are reserved for listing fees, legal expenses, and other regulatory costs that may arise during the token’s lifecycle, ensuring smooth operations and compliance. |
In order to preserve the stability of the CDK price and encourage long-term commitment, we have planned a vesting process aimed at gradually releasing the tokens acquired by investors in a controlled manner.
As part of our strategy, vesting begins after a cliff period ranging from 3 to 6 months depending on the purchase round. CDK are then released monthly in a linear manner over a period of 12 to 24 months according to the same purchase rounds.
This mechanism guarantees a limited supply on the market in the short term, thus promoting a stable price, while aligning the interests of investors with those of the project in the long term.
Cliff and vesting periods:
Months Cliff | Months Vesting | |
Private Early Investors (Seed) | 6 | 24 |
Private Sale round 1 | 3 | 12 |
Private Sale round 2 | 3 | 12 |
Public Sale (IDO, ICO) | – | 7 |
Operating Team | 12 | 24 |
Advisors | 12 | 24 |
Development | 9 | 36 |
Ecosystem Incentives (marketing 50% stacking 50%) | – | 60 |
Liquidity (CEX and DEX) | 6 | 1 |
Additional reserve subject to burn | 6 | 60 |
Reserve (listing, legal…) | – | 60 |
CodeNekt offers CDK Staking to reward the engaged community members. The token holders lock their tokens in exchange for rewards, promoting long term holding and ecosystem stability. The CDK holders can stake their tokens, which are then locked for the Staking round duration and earn rewards for their participation.
The key features of our staking mechanism are :
Unstaking process: At the end of a staking round, all staked tokens are returned to their holders, accompanied by any remaining unclaimed rewards.
The idea for CodeNekt was born in 2017 with the vision of creating a solution to ensure reliable vehicle history tracking.
Over the past five years, the team has focused all its energy on developing the most innovative and value-driven solutions for end users.
The result of these years of research and development has transformed CodeNekt into a comprehensive ecosystem offering multiple automotive-focused products.
At the start of the project, we used Algorand as our blockchain platform to develop our smart contracts. However, as the project evolved, we recognized the need for a more tailored and scalable technological framework to support our growing ecosystem.
This realization led us to create our own Layer 1 (L1) blockchain based on Avalanche technology. By building a custom L1, we ensure greater flexibility, scalability and control over the development of our ecosystem. It allows us to implement features specifically designed for the automotive industry while fostering innovation and long-term growth.
