If and when 3dini offers to sell any tokens (or a Simple Agreement for Future Tokens), it will do so through definitive offering documents, including a disclosure document and risk factors. Those definitive documents also are expected to include an updated version of this white paper, which may differ significantly from the current version. If and when 3dini makes such an offering in the United States, the offering likely will be available solely to accredited investors. Nothing in this white paper should be treated or read as a guarantee or promise of how 3dini’s business or the tokens will develop or of the utility or value of the tokens. This white paper outlines current plans, which could change at the company’s discretion, and the success of which will depend on many factors outside 3dini’s control, including market-based factors and factors within the data and cryptocurrency industries, among others.

The 3dini Network is a blockchain- and crypto-enabled project developed to foster and promote blockchain manufacturing ecosystems and to accelerate network effects of this new model for 3D print manufacturing.
We envision a day when everything from running shoes to auto parts will be purchased with an NFT and then printed when and where the item is needed through the 3dini Network. The purpose of the 3dini Network is to prime the pump for decentralized manufacturing. The 3dini Network will accomplish this through:
The 3dini Network’s POB and POD governance systems rely on a combination of automated and manual inputs to determine user reputation scores. POB and POD resemble proof-of-work (POW) in that Node Operators spend computational resources to earn crypto tokens, but in 3dini’s case, Node Operators manufacture products or perform design functions instead of solving math puzzles. 3dini’s pricing algorithms are based on network supply-and-demand patterns. 3dini relies on a multitier pricing (MTP) protocol that uses Node Operator reputation scores to determine job allocation and ensure high service quality. Creators can choose from three tiers: Tier 1 (Trusted Partners), Tier 2 (Priority), and Tier 3 (Economy). Tier 1 services are generally completed by more reputable manufacturing hubs or designers (Node Operators) who charge a higher fee. Creators receive a reputation score based on Node Operator feedback, which determines how many concurrent nodes they can access at any given time. In other words, Creators’ reputation scores influence how quickly their requested tasks will be completed. Similarly, only Node Operators with high reputation scores are allowed to process higher-tier jobs, which pay out more DINI tokens. Top-rated Node Operators are assigned jobs more quickly via 3dini’s automated job-matching algorithm.
Products manufactured on the 3dini Network originate as Print Tokens created by 3dHoudini. In the initial phase of the network, 3dHoudini will play a centralized role in creating Print Tokens and distributing manufacturing work orders to POB Node Operators. Distribution is determined by the specific product requirements and the location of the end consumer placing the work order. 3dHoudini’s centralized role is necessary to protect customer IP and manage quality control in the beginning stages of the network. However, it is possible an entirely decentralized solution will be implemented over time as the network matures.
3dHoudini is a technology platform and manufacturing ecosystem that produces Print Tokens. A Print Token is an NFT paired with a CAD design, enabling its holder to have the paired CAD file 3D-printed through a 3dHoudini manufacturing hub. 3dHoudini started in the gaming and NFT spaces but will branch out into many other industries, including, toys, jewelry, and auto parts.
Every 3dini Network POB Node Operator and POD Node Operator has a unique identifier tied to their account, which has built-in know-your-customer (KYC) requirements to prevent fraud and duplicate accounts. Creators can review their Node Operators’ progress and evaluate it before their job is tokenized or manufactured. Creators can review and score Node Operators’ final deliverables, and their feedback will impact the involved Node Operators’ scores. Additionally, the 3dini Network evaluates active jobs by comparing a Node Operator’s output and a job’s stated requirements, penalizing inefficient Node Operators and rerouting their jobs if there are large disparities between stated requirements and output quality.
The Reserve Allocation of the DINI Token includes Operations, Marketing, Ecosystem, Development, and Bug Bounties.
The design of the DINI token ensures an equitable distribution system, team investment, and long-term stability for all stakeholders.
