Its architecture is designed to\nconnect activities that traditionally operate across separate systems,\nincluding:\n* Digital capital formation and investor access\n* Tokenized real-world assets and digital securities infrastructure\n* AI-assisted decision intelligence with human approval controls\n* Identity, eligibility, wallets and transaction records\n* Trading, liquidity, treasury and market-data tools\n* Collectibles, private assets and other specialized markets\n* Business-to-business and business-to-consumer participation\nThe commercial objective is to create a more connected environment in which\ndiscovery, diligence, participation, transactions and supporting evidence can\noperate through a common technology infrastructure.\n\nAs development continues, these shared capabilities are intended to support\nmultiple customer and market applications rather than limiting R3ALM to a\nsingle product category.\n\nMultiple Tokenization Projects Under Development\n\nVystar and R3ALM have also secured multiple projects involving tokenization\nand digital commerce across the collectibles, entertainment and financial\nsectors.\n\nOver the coming weeks, the companies expect to provide additional information\nregarding these projects, including the underlying business models, the role\nof R3ALM technology and the potential revenue opportunities associated with\neach project.\n\nManagement believes these projects can serve as important proof-of-concept\napplications for the broader R3ALM Ecosystem by demonstrating how tokenization\ncan be combined with digital commerce, customer engagement and additional\nrevenue-generating capabilities.\n\nThe R3ALM architecture is being developed to support ecommerce environments\nthat can incorporate digital currencies alongside social-media engagement,\nmarketing, VIP live and digital experiences, memorabilia and collectible\nsales, and other specialized commercial applications.\n\nMultiple Potential Revenue Streams\n\nA key component of the R3ALM strategy is the ability to combine multiple\ncommercial activities within a single ecosystem.\n\nBernie O'Neil, Managing Director of R3ALM, stated:\n\n“What is most important to Vystar and R3ALM, as well as our clients, is the\nability of the ecosystem to create additional opportunities for revenue\ngeneration and financing. By connecting tokenization with ecommerce, digital\nassets, marketing, customer engagement and other commercial activities, we\nbelieve R3ALM can provide clients with capabilities that extend well beyond\nsimply creating a token.”\n\nUnder the arrangements currently being developed, Vystar and R3ALM will\nparticipate economically in certain projects through ownership interests,\nparticipation in digital assets or currencies, and shares of revenue generated\nfrom multiple services and commercial activities.\n\nManagement believes this project-based approach has the potential to create a\ndiversified revenue model in which R3ALM participates not only in the\ntechnology infrastructure but also, where appropriate, in the economic\nactivity generated through the ecosystem.\n\nBuilding Toward Commercial Launch\n\nWith the new corporation established, the joint Board appointed and the\ntechnical team progressing toward live deployment, Vystar believes R3ALM is\nmoving from development and testing toward the next phase of its business\nstrategy.\n\nThe Company expects to provide additional announcements as individual R3ALM\nprojects progress and additional platform modules move into production.\n\n# # #\n\nAbout Vystar Corporation\n\nVystar Corporation is focused on identifying and advancing strategic\nopportunities that can enhance shareholder value and expand the Company’s\nparticipation in high-potential innovation markets. Through this proposed\ntransaction with R3alm, Vystar is seeking to establish a meaningful position\nin the evolution of digital finance, tokenized assets, intelligent trust\nsystems and modern capital markets infrastructure.\n\nAbout R3alm\n\nR3alm is building a compliance-focused AI and Web3 ecosystem designed to\nconnect capital formation, tokenized assets, investor access, digital finance\ninfrastructure, trust systems and intelligent automation. Its broader platform\nvision is intended to support both enterprise and consumer participation in\nthe next generation of financial markets.\n\nVytex - Allergy Free Natural Rubber Latex – The Company owns the\nformulations and intellectual property that creates what Vystar believes to be\nthe highest quality products as against any competitor’s products in many\ncases at better pricing. By way of example, Vystar can manufacture allergy and\nammonia free natural latex products ranging from foam utilized in pillows,\nmattresses and toppers, to gloves, condoms and other products. The Company\nbelieves its FDA approved products are unrivaled in the industry. Vystar\nfortunately has a large combined inventory of thousands of pillows and\nmattress toppers warehoused in the United States.\n\nRXAIR – Vystar owns the patents and has achieved FDA approval, as well as\nEPA, CARB and other air purification certifications. We have built a line of\nproducts for the home and medical facilities. The product lines range from a\npersonal $500 unit to an industrial $6,000 unit for hospitals or similarly\nsituated medical services. Vystar has sold more than 20,000 residential and\n400 hospital units. Vystar sells replacement cartridges. Each cartridge lasts\nabout 1 year and this should yield a very lucrative revenue stream.\n\nIn addition, Vystar has invested $500,000 in manufacturing and high-speed\ntooling for the units. These units are built to eliminate germs, viruses and\nbacteria. Vystar maintains a stockpile of more than a thousand units and\nreplacement cartridges. Also important, Vystar is under a medical device\nexemption from the recent tariffs.\n\nFEC - The Hughes Reactor changes flow of liquid or gas into sound waves. The\nsound can be brought to powerful levels using a mechanism that has no moving\nparts. This allows the reactor the ability to harness the energy into various\nuses. The uses for this patented technology include: Flow Meter, hard water\nabatement, air purification, multiple dialysis applications and combustion\nenhancements for natural gas, biofuels, gasoline. This energy is powerful,\nclean, and controllable. It can be used to measure flow, to push forward\nchemical reactions such as combustion, or to mix chemicals together thoroughly\nand instantly. All of this technology is protected by Vystar’s intellectual\nproperty.\n\nForward-Looking Statements\n\nInvestors are cautioned that certain statements contained in this document as\nwell as some statements in periodic press releases and some oral statements of\nVYST officials are \"Forward-Looking Statements\" within the meaning of the\nPrivate Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the \"Act\").
