Workstream Discussion FOX Tokenomics
1

Dear ALL,

Last week I ve been working on the open bounty for FOX listing on AAVE. I followed the requested template and fulfilled all of their requirements.

ONLY Missing point I have is SECURITY AUDIT , please be so kind to direct me where it be found.

Also please be critical and provide your view on the content part (pitch etc.) your eye for perfection would be extremely useful!

I will give us 4-5 days to share the opinions and then together with we will be proceeding with submission.

Thanks for your feedback and lets make it happen!

Compound proposal is in the making and will be proceeded right after this.

Summary: Listing FOX token on AAVE

Hello AAVE family,

We are the ShapeShift team and would like to propose AAVEngers to support the listing of our token FOX, on AAVE’s platform. We believe having FOX on AAVE would open up several exciting opportunities for both ShapeShift and AAVE.

ShapeShift presence on AAVE would provide an opportunity to earn additional fees as FOX holders would be able to come to AAVE to collateralize their assets and increase platform liquidity.

The reason ShapeShift’s presence on AAVE will attract more users to the platform is because ShapeShift is a decentralized unit that gives AAVE users new opportunities… Unlike centralized custodians that hold your funds, with ShapeShift you’re always in control of your crypto. Instantly trade crypto on the platform. No added fees. 1000s of trade pairs. Plus get FOX back on every trade. First of its kind cross-chain swaps powered by 0x and THORChain.

Over the years, ShapeShift has established a strong and loyal community and who would love to be able to use the AAVE platform to collateralize their assets.

The Evolution of ShapeShift

Since the project’s establishment in 2014, our purpose has been to empower the digital asset market in alignment with the ethos of financial sovereignty.

Seven years ago, we pioneered frictionless crypto trading with no user accounts, and no custody of user funds.

In 2017, we acquired KeepKey to bring easy cold-storage to our users.

In 2018, we built a full self-custody crypto interface that incorporated KeepKey, Ledger, and Trezor hardware wallets with integrated trading functionality across chains.

In 2019, we removed all commissions for holders of the FOX Token.

In 2020, we acquired Portis to further engage with the burgeoning web3 dapp ecosystem and released ShapeShift’s self-custody mobile app.

And by late 2020, we began integrating decentralized protocols directly into the ShapeShift crypto platform to enable immutable, borderless trading with no intermediary, removing ourselves—and our prior business model—from the process.

This evolution enabled us to return protection and dignity to our users, ending KYC and other intrusive financial surveillance practices. ShapeShift will never be a bank. The end goal has been and remains: a world where people are empowered to manage their own financial futures, without sacrificing their privacy and control to governmental and middlemen entities. A world where users can participate in and explore new voluntary forms of financial innovation.

Fast and private, with no account or KYC required.

FOX utility Perpetual Utility — Hodl FOX, Earn Crypto

FOX has always been a “Perpetual Utility” token—they provide benefits as long as you hodl them in your wallet. You do not need to spend your tokens to derive their benefits.

Here is the non-governance benefits that exists today:

Rainfall

Rainfall rewards FOX hodlers with free crypto when people trade on ShapeShift. The more FOX you hold, the better your chances of winning a Rainfall reward.

For every qualifying transaction on ShapeShift, the following benefits are realized:

The user who makes a crypto trade earns more FOX Tokens;

Another random FOX holder earns free USDC;

Revenue generated for ShapeShift (if any) through that transaction goes to the ShapeShift DAO.

FOX Fuel: Reimbursement for Gas Fees

Gas fees can get expensive!

FOX Tokens help you offset these costs. 10% of the current market value of your FOX Tokens, as determined by CoinCap.io at the time of trade, can be repaid to you every 30 days in additional FOX Tokens to help reimburse you for gas costs on trades. With enough FOX Tokens, this can potentially cover all of one’s gas costs on trades.

FOX Liquidity Mining Is Here

The initial round of FOX liquidity mining will begin at 9:00 a.m. MT, Friday, July 16, 2021.

FOX Token holders that provide liquidity to the FOX/ETH pool on Uniswap V2 and stake their FOX-ETH-UNI-LP token in the ShapeShift Staking Rewards contract may earn a proportional share of 15,768,000 FOX Tokens over the following three months. Thereafter, governance will decide whether or not to continue or change the program.

The Largest Airdrop in History—Over 1M Recipients

FOX has been airdropped to the largest number of eligible recipients in crypto history. There are now more than 1 million potential FOX holders who can choose to claim tokens.

This makes FOX Tokens one of the most widely distributed tokens in history. ShapeShift has never sold these tokens; there was no ICO.

FOX Superpower: Governance

The FOX Token has always been our way of giving extra utility to those who support the ShapeShift platform and community (starting with no trading fees in 2019). Now, FOX is becoming the entire control and ownership structure of the project.

Hi, Val.

I found this proposal really interesting, i’m even cc’ing . I know he’s an interested dude in proposals like that.

I do support new integrated protocols, listing and DeFi programs.

Once again, congratulations! You are definitely a rising star and I’m rooting for you!

Thanks for mentioning me around here .

I think the proposal is great ! The partnership of FOX with protocols like Aave is essential, an action that is already being carried out as the Bonds in Olympus DAO and the Reactors in Tokemak.

It would be interesting to mention these partnerships with other protocols in the Proposal, with data regarding the liquidity obtained in these partnerships, for example.

But it is too good to participate in this discussion, and I am available to contribute in this and other proposals!

Hey,

A few things about your updated post is that there is a bunch of outdated information included in the post. Rainfall is no longer a thing. Nor is FoxFuel.

Looks like the Fox Liquidity mining information is the first contract for liquidity mining and not the latest one and the program continues.

I think if you are including information like that I think including the Fox Tokemak reactor would be good information to include as there are only 10 reactors up so far.

I’d really like to see the marketing workstream look at this to ensure that the information is up to date and correct.

Dear Ron, that’s what the exact purpose of me sharing it here in forum. Also mentioned Arina, but happy to address to Pete for support.

Thanks for the effort and providing your view!
