1.We note your response to prior comment 1 in your December 9, 2024 response letter
that your DNS service was launched in Tunisia and that "[y]ou do not recognize
revenues from this as it was a project that was done with them and they operate the
service independently and that [you] do have the ability to consult with them and earn
revenues in the future as disclosed in the disclosure document." Please revise to
update your disclosure on page 3 that states that you expect to launch the DNS service
sometime between September 2020 and January 2021 by including the information

your response to prior comment 5 in your December 9, 2024 response letter.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
Business Operations, page 17
Refer to your response to prior comment 9. In your response, you indicate that
Universa Digital Sugar Trading DMCC is a distinct legal entity that is consolidated by
Eco Bright Futures, Inc. Additionally, your disclosure on page 7 indicates that
Universa Digital Sugar Trading DMCC took title to the warrant. Given these facts,
please address the following:
•Please summarize for us separately the legal rights and obligations of the warrant
and the tokens issued in connection with the sugar exchange in Dubai.
•Please provide an analysis of how and when cash was transferred during your
sugar tokenization process. For example, tell us whether Al Khaleej Sugar
received cash at the time the warrant was issued and registered by DMCC
Tradeflow, and whether Universa Sugar Trading DMCC received cash as a result
of the sale of the tokens.
•Tell us if the warrant issued to Universa Digital Sugar Trading DMCC, a
subsidiary of Eco Bright, transferred legal title and ownership of the underlying
sugar to Universa Sugar Trading DMCC, or if the warrant represented a security
interest in the sugar. In that regard, we note in your response to prior comment 5
that you describe the warrant as creating a security interest in the pledged sugar.
In your response, tell us how you considered whether the transaction where
Universa Digital Sugar Trading DMCC took title to the warrant was a secured
financing that should be reflected as a loan receivable and provide the basis for
your conclusion.
•Tell us if Universa Digital Sugar Trading DMCC is the named titleholder of the
warrant. If not, tell us whether a new warrant was issued and registered with
DMCC Tradeflow to name a new title holder.
•Tell us if the tokens associated with the warrant transfer legal title and ownership
of a portion of the underlying sugar represented by the warrant to the holder of the
token and provide a full analysis detailing the basis for your conclusion. In this
regard, we note from your disclosure on page 7 that a single warrant was issued
for 100,000 tons of sugar, and 100,000,000 tokens were subsequently issued by
Universa Digital Sugar Trading DMCC. In your response, explain to us how
token holders are able to redeem their tokens given a single warrant has been
issued and registered by DMCC Tradeflow.
•Confirm for us whether a token can be exchanged for a fixed amount of sugar or a
percentage of the total sugar represented by the warrant, and if a new warrant is
required to be issued when a holder of a token converts the token into actual
sugar.

•Tell us how you considered whether the issuance of tokens by Universa Digital
Sugar Trading DMCC represents a secured borrowing or issuance of an
instrument convertible into sugar rather than the conveyance of ownership in the
sugar and provide the basis for your conclusion.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence
of action by the staff.
