Adventure Gold is one of the fastest-growing cryptocurrencies right now. The token bridges several hot themes, including blockchain gaming, community governance and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This special blend of attributes is helping the AGLD crypto to appreciate significantly in only a short period of time. Not to mention, the project also carries a fair bit of mystique with it.
As investors continue to flow into the booming NFT space, Adventure Gold is an interesting token that is benefitting.
The project, with its minimalist NFTs, ambiguous token and barebones roadmap, may not initially appear convincing to investors. However, the presentation of the AGLD crypto and its accompanying Loot NFTs have made it strangely successful. This week has brought another major rally for AGLD for the first time since fall 2021.
Adventure Gold is the token underlying Vine co-founder Dom Hoffmann’s ambitious NFT project, called Loot. Will Papper, a Loot community member, then developed Adventure Gold. Launched in September, neither AGLD nor Loot are very old at all. The NFT collection was released by Papper for free in an edition of 10,000 tokens. These tokens are all nearly identical in appearance — they include a solid black background, populated with only a few strings of words and phrases.
These words and phrases made up computer-generated items for a video game which doesn’t exist. Everything is entirely up to the holders’ interpretations. Outside of the NFT launch and the launch of AGLD, Papper has largely been hands-off with the project. Almost immediately after launching, the AGLD crypto was picked up by a series of exchanges, like Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN). These listings helped the token to boom in September. In fact, it set an all-time high above $7.
As for the gains today, there are no real news catalysts to speak of. AGLD prices have actually been on the decline for the last three months. One can surely assume recent gains have something to do with new interest in NFTs and blockchain gaming. Indeed, OpenSea reveals that even with declining AGLD prices, Loot NFTs are selling for tens of thousands of dollars. With AGLD crypto prices up 20% over the last 24 hours, trading volume is up 200% to nearly $300 million.
9 Things you need to know:
Before touching on what the Adventure Gold (AGLD) crypto is, we must first look at Loot NFTs. Loot saw its launch in August through a developer named Dom Hofmann.
These NFTs are pictures of text rows. Each row contains the name of an item in an adventuring game which doesn’t exist yet.
The NFTs represent items for the game, which the NFT owners will own upon its release. Hofmann released the NFTs without any imagery or stats for these items in order to leave their meaning open to interpretation.
The Loot NFTs are available for free in a run of 8,000 tokens. Investors are snatching them up very quickly with little marketing outside of Hofmann’s announcement of their existence.
Since its first release, the Loot community is growing rapidly and creating hype around the yet-to-be-created game. A multitude of sites measuring the rarity of certain items is already popping up.
Adventure Gold is the token meant to fuel the incoming Loot game. As of yet, it has no dedicated developers, and its inherent utility is not fully known.
What we do know is that Loot NFT owners were granted 10,000 ALGD for each NFT they possess. At its current going-rate of $3.81, this turned a free NFT purchase into a $38,100 profit.
The Adventure Gold (AGLD) crypto is now also getting to boost of a Coinbase Pro listing to add to its bullish momentum. The exchange is announcing its intent to list AGLD this morning through a blog post.
Investors can load their existing AGLD holdings onto their Coinbase Pro accounts starting today. If the crypto meets liquidity conditions, it will launch for trading tomorrow afternoon.
Crypterium, the fast-growing digital fintech solution helping customers manage their assets with ease, has announced its largest listing in the history of the company on the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase.
Transfers and wallet support for CRPT will now be available on Coinbase’s exchange with the Experimental Label in the regions where trading is supported, and will include the trading pairs CRPT/USD, CRPT/USDT and CRPT/EUR.
Crypterium has also announced the collection of bids where investors transfer their tokens to Coinbase, and if there is enough volume they will begin trading in auction mode. Then they will be transferred into limit bids, and then into full trading on Coinbase’s exchange.
Following this listing of CRPT on Coinbase, Crypterium expects to continue its growth and operations following the Coinbase listing.
CRPT’s main goal is to stimulate token holders to use Crypterium in their daily life, and to attract new users to Crypterium. Every time a person makes a payment, a fee equal to 0.5% of the value of the transaction in CRPT is taken from the token holder’s account and is burnt as fuel for the transaction. Thanks to Crypterium’s intelligent proprietary technology, this 0.5% is 100% transparent to the user, carried out immediately, at the current exchange rate available.

Aergo Chain is an open-source hybrid blockchain protocol that combines aspects of public (trust/decentralized) and private (performance/control) blockchains to cater towards enterprise and government level use-cases.
The Aergo Platform provides a set of infrastructure components for enterprises and developers to host blockchain applications based on the Aergo Chain. Aergo offers a smart-contract engine supporting Lua and SQL, as well as various features, such as distributed version and concurrency control.
Private blockchains on the Aergo platform run on a Leader-based Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism powered RAFT algorithm, while the public blockchain network, the Aergo mainnet, runs on a Byzantine Fault-Tolerant Delegated Proof-of-Stake (BFT DPoS) mechanism.
To vote and manage block producers, AERGO tokens need to be acquired and staked. Users may decide to pay cloud providers to host their private blockchains on dedicated nodes, instead of hosting them themselves. Enterprise clients may access additional third-party services via AERGO.
1. What is Aergo (AERGO)?
Aergo Chain is an open-source hybrid blockchain protocol powered by the native cryptocurrency AERGO.
Aimed at enterprise and government level use cases, it combines aspects of public (trust/decentralised) and private (performance/control) technologies. The Aergo platform provides a set of infrastructure components for enterprises and developers to host blockchain applications based on the Aergo Chain. Aergo offers a smart contract engine supporting Lua and SQL, and also a number of features such as distributed version and concurrency control.
Private blockchains on the Aergo platform run on a Leader-based Proof-of-Authority consensus mechanism powered-RAFT algorithm, while the public blockchain network, the Aergo mainnet, runs on a Byzantine Fault-Tolerant Delegated Proof-of-Stake mechanism.
To vote and manage block producers, AERGO tokens need to be acquired and staked. Users are able to utilize the platform to pay enterprise-grade cloud providers such as large telecommunications firms to host their private blockchains on dedicated nodes, rather than going through the cumbersome process of hosting these blockchains themselves – a functionality that is also unlocked via AERGO tokens.
Enterprise clients will need to use the AERGO utility token to acquire extra application services from other third parties. Additionally, all of Blocko’s (Samsung-backed) future services will be based on the new Aergo Enterprise products that requires AERGO tokens to work.
An example use case in production using Aergo includes a solution adopted by Lotte Card for over 25 million users for fingerprint credit card verifications. It allows Lotte Card to get automated attestations to whether a fingerprint submitted at checkout matches the identity of the credit card owner. The solution is built using a version of Aergo’s Lua smart contracts with SQL integration. SQL integration has been verified to save Lotte Card 90% of their security expenditures for fingerprint authentication due to the blockchain system’s ability to eliminate the need for manual verification of fingerprints.
Other clients using Aergo-based solutions include Hyundai Motor Group, Korea Stock Exchange, Shinhan Bank, POSCO, and more.
2. Economics and supply
The team raised capital in a two-phase supply distribution is as follows:
Private Sale: it was conducted in multiple rounds from July 2018 to November 2018 raising a total of 71,721 ETH ($25.38MM) at an average rate of $0.187 per AERGO..
Call Option: a call option of 20MM AERGO tokens with early business supporters was issued on November 2018 at an exercise price of $0.187 and $0.167, exercisable end March 2021 that will generate a further $3.36MM (if exercised).
AERGO token distribution (%)
AERGO token release schedule
25% of total AERGO supply is allocated to staking. The staking tokens are loaned to major network nodes (Telco partners across Asia and Europe) in an evenly distributed amount for them to secure the Mainnet as part of a 10 year contractual agreement. The loan is being used to incentivize these partners to integrate their secure cloud capabilities with the Aergo platform architecture to allow for instant provisioning of business services running on Aergo.
Aergo plans to release the plan to become a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) by the end of 2020, and all token releases will be determined by community voting afterwards. This token release schedule shows token releases before the end of 2020.
3. Aergo’s activity and community overview

What are the minimum and maximum withdrawal amounts?
Coinbase has implemented safeguards to ensure a healthy and efficient network both on-chain and through our platform.
These safeguards include both minimum and maximum amounts for each cryptocurrency we allow customers to send through the blockchain. These amounts vary by asset and are subject to change.
Temasek led the $200 million round, with participation from Animoca Brands and Tencent.
Immutable X is an Ethereum scaling solution used by firms like GameStop and TikTok.
Immutable, the Australian startup behind an Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution designed for games and NFTs, announced today that it has raised a Series C funding round at a valuation of $2.5 billion. The firm joins an ever-expanding list of crypto “unicorns,” or startups worth at least $1 billion.
The $200 million round was led by investment firm Temasek, with participation from Chinese gaming giant Tencent and leading metaverse investment firm Animoca Brands. Additional new investors include Arrington Capital, Mirae Asset, and Liberty Global, while Alameda Research and Possible Ventures are among the firms that increased their total investment.
Immutable is the firm behind Immutable X, a layer-2 platform that works on top of the Ethereum blockchain. Transactions on Immutable X are significantly cheaper and faster than those on Ethereum’s own mainnet, and require much less power than transactions on Ethereum’s own energy-intensive proof-of-work
network.
Immutable X uses StarkWare’s StarkEx zero-knowledge proof
technology to roll up thousands of transactions on its own network and commit them to Ethereum with a single transaction.
Amid other notable Ethereum scaling solutions like Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism, Immutable X has attempted to carve out a niche as a platform designed for video games and NFT collectibles.
Immutable X was recently announced as the platform that will power video game retailer GameStop’s gaming-centric NFT marketplace. GameStop’s marketplace is due to launch later this year, and will focus on user-ownable NFT items—such as characters, weapons, and apparel—designed for Ethereum-driven video games.

GameStop and Immutable announced a $100 million developer fund last month as part of the deal, in an effort to incentivize crypto game creators to build upon Immutable X and the retailer’s marketplace.
Immutable also develops and publishes its own NFT games. Competitive card game Gods Unchained was one of the first notable crypto games, and has since migrated from Ethereum’s mainnet to Immutable X. The firm will also publish the upcoming mobile action game, Guild of Guardians.

Following the Series C raise, Immutable—which currently has a head count of 165—will significantly expand its team over the next 12 months, with plans to hire an additional 200 employees. The firm recently announced a handful of executive hires, including new Chief Studio Officer Justin Hulog, who joined from Riot Games.
Immutable previously raised a $60 million Series B round in September 2021, and $15 million in a Series A round two years earlier in September 2019.
My Neighbor Alice (ALICE) token is the native token for the My Neighbor Alicemultiplayer farm building video game. The game is a world where users invest in digital islands, build upon those islands, find new collectibles, and more.
ALICE is an ERC-20 token built on the Ethereum network, earnable in game through events and competitions, among other ways. The token also powers My Neighbor Alice’s NFT Marketplace, enabling players to trade and profit off of their creations.
Use cases of ALICE
The ALICE tokenincentivizes players to participate in the My Neighbor Alice farm-building game. For example, users who hold more ALICE and continually stake their holdings continue earning even more over time.
ALICE also represents in-game items like land or furniture, which can be sold or rented out to other players via smart contracts. Interestingly, the game also features NFT collateral. When a user invests in an NFT, a percentage of their purchase goes into collateral. If the NFT holder would like, they can eventually sell the asset back in turn for that collateral, ensuring they’ll always make some money back on an investment.
The ALICE token ensures My Neighbor Alice is a free-to-start video game. Anyone can participate in competitions and slowly earn their way to spendable amounts of ALICE. Or, users can invest ahead of time and gain access to certain game features right away. Accessibility is the focal point in the ALICE token’s design.
Eventually, My Neighbor Alice will launch a fully-featured Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) for fair governance, as well as full Avatar customization utilizing the ALICE token’s economy. Governance within the game includes proposing additional features, voting on updates, and having a say on the game’s budget.
Interestingly, the game is playable without a cryptocurrency wallet at first. Users who want to participate in the ecosystem, however, will need a wallet to hold ALICE and make transactions.
Comparison with competitors
ALICE token and the My Neighbor Alice video game aren’t too different from other blockchain-based games. This game involves investing in property, growing that property, and then selling one’s in-game efforts for profit.
None of those ideas are too stand-out on their own. Rather, My Neighbor Alice is unique based on its in-game events and farming aesthetic rather than its blockchain-based gaming features.
Roadmap and development history
In early 2021, the project launched in Steam early access exclusively to ALICE token holders. At the time, the game launched with plot owning and trading, visiting other farms, chatting with others, and the first ever quest.
July 2021 saw multiplayer implementation and additional ways to earn tokens in-game. September then saw the DAO’s release, even more quests and activities, and new in-game characters and NPCs.
December 2021 marks the launch of the planned NFT auction house, community, built events, and more gameplay additions. My Neighbor Alice will launch fully one year after the early launch in January 2022. The 1.0 update will come with avatar customization, clothes and hairstyles, and the ability to alter character eye color.
Tokenomics
ALICE has a total supply of 100 million tokens. 20 million of those ALICE tokens are held in reserve, while 21 million went to the project’s initial token sale. 15 million tokens are allocated to the development team and advisors, and another 16 million are reserved for the game’s ecosystem.
Price and price predictions
ALICE launched in March 2021 at around $23.64. The project saw an increase to almost $29 the following week, before dropping sharply to the $14–$18 range shortly afterward.
Since that time frame, ALICE has experienced lows of near $3.50 before jumping back up to around $23. As of this writing, the project is sitting at $12.87 per ALICE with a $296,130,746 market cap. The project boasts a 23,000,000 circulating supply against a total supply of 100,000,000.
Should you buy ALICE?
If you believe in the future of blockchain gaming, or want to grow a farm in My Neighbor Alice, you might want to consider investing in ALICE. After all, the asset is basically necessary to participate in the game’s ecosystem.
That said, if you’re simply investing to speculate on the project and potentially earn a profit, experts might suggest you choose another project. After all, this ERC-20 token is meant to build more of an ecosystem, rather than purely profit-focused.
What will ALICE token be worth?
It’s hard to say what ALICE will be worth, considering the asset’s price has varied greatly since the game’s Alpha state launch. Future price movements depend on the game’s success and feature set come its official launch.
Will ALICE token go up?
No one can confidently predict if a speculative asset will go up in value. That said, if the game is seen positively and sees an influx in users, it is possible for the ALICE token to go up in value.
What do I do with ALICE coins?
Users purchase in-game items using ALICE token. In addition, they can use it on the project’s NFT marketplace and accessorize the characters in the game, among other features.
The future of ALICE
My Neighbor Alice represents another branch of the blockchain-based gaming ecosystem. Some titles focus on owning and developing planets, while others emphasize growing a creature for value. ALICE token and its attached game targets a fairly different audience that might enjoy farming instead of any previously established games. We’ll have to see how the project plays out over time.
DIA (Decentralised Information Asset) is an open-source oracle platform that enables market actors to source, supply and share trustable data.
Decentralised Information Asset (DIA) is a Swiss non-profit association. It is an open-source, data and oracle platform for the DeFi (Decentralised Finance) ecosystem. DIA leverages crypto economic incentives to drive supply, share and use transparent, crowd-verified price data and oracles on financial and digital assets.
On 3 August, DIA announced that they took the first step in decentralising its governance by public distribution of ‘tokens’. This event will provide participants with the opportunity to acquire DIA’s Governance Tokens. DIA believes in a financial ecosystem that is owned, controlled, and maintained by its users. The DeFi ecosystem infrastructure, which they are trying to create, is governed through a token — the DIA Governance Token — which shall be held by a decentralised community of DIA token-holders and their delegates.
This will be the first public distribution of DIA’s governance token, and it aims to decentralise governance to the broader DeFi and blockchain ecosystem and raise funds for the continued development of the platform.
How to Get DIA Tokens
Step-by-step guide
Note, that the interface to get DIA will be published on Monday August 3 at 3pm CET. It will be shared in all our channels.
1. Set up wallet
To buy DIA you will need anEthereum Smart contract enabled wallet. We recommend using MetaMask, Trust Wallet, imToken or Gnosis safe.
Load sufficient USDC to your wallet, open the interface and connect your wallet.
2. Deposit funds in the interface
Open the ‘Balances’ tab and ‘Enable’ the coin you want to use. Confirm, if prompted. Then deposit your funds by clicking the blue ‘+’.
A pop up will appear that where you can enter the amount that you wish to deposit for the trade. Once it is done return to the “Trade” tab.
3. Place order
Enter the amount you wish to exchange for DIA into the ‘Sell’ field and the maximum average price you want to pay per token in the ‘Limit Price’ field.
The amount of DIA you will receive will be displayed. Click ‘Submit Limit Order’. The order will appear on the right and is executed when the price matches.
Example Order
Satoshi wants to spend 100 USDC on DIA, but doesn’t want to purchase DIA at a higher average price than USDC 3.
To execute his order, he selects USDC from the dropdown next to the ‘Sell’ field enters 100 in the ‘Sell’ field.
He then enters ‘3’ into the ‘Limit Price’ field — this is the maximum average price of USDC he wants to pay per DIA.
The ‘Receive at least’ field will show the minimum amount of DIA that Satoshi will receive if the order gets allocated.
If this satisfies him, he clicks ‘Submit Limit Order’ and it will appear on the right pane of the interface in the ‘Open’ tab.
When the next 5 minute interval is over, the solution for the transaction is calculated. This means that the algorithm decides which orders to process, optimising for maximum efficiency in token distribution.
If the order gets accepted in the batch, it will be executed, meaning that DIA will be sent to the interface and funds will be sent to the bonding curve contract. The successful order will appear under the ‘Trades’ tab, from where Satoshi can send his DIA tokens to his wallet.
Note, that the limit price is just the maximum price that Satoshi will pay. It may happen that a significantly lower price is paid if possible.
Also note that orders may be partially filled. The remaining portion will be transferred to the next batch, unless cancelled.
Additional Questions
How long does a transaction take?
There are several factors impacting the time that a transaction takes in total.
The amount of gas you post, only has an impact on the speed at which your order is placed into the current or next order batch.
Once in the batch, gas fees are irrelevant as they are equal for all participants of one batch.
Batches are filled and closed in 5 minutes intervals
When the batch is filled, the solution is calculated which defines the allocation.
How to cancel an order?
Once an unfulfilled order is listed in the right pane, you will be able to click it and an option to cancel the order will appear. When you click the cancel option the order is deleted as soon as the transaction is completed on the Ethereum network. This means that it is dependent on the gas fee you post.
What happens after the transaction?
Once a the price matches and your order is allocated, you will receive your DIA in the interface. You will need to withdraw them to your wallet. Your order will be stored in your wallet, so even if you forget this step, you will be able to withdraw your DIA at a later stage, if you reconnect the wallet that you used for the transaction.
When is an order closed? How will I know whether it is still open?
On the right hand pane of the interface, you will see three tabs: ‘Open’, ‘Trades’ and ‘Closed’. Your open transactions will show in the ‘Open’ tab. Your completed orders will show in the ‘Trades’ tab and your cancelled order will show in the ‘Closed’ tab.
How many orders can I place?
You may place an unlimited amount of orders. Be aware that this costs gas every time.

Binance USD or BUSD is another proof of wrapped token, which is often described as a blockchain token pegged to the value of another asset – fiat currency, treasure stones, equity shares or real estate, for example. In this context, BUSD is pegged to the US dollar, which makes it a wrapped token.
It’s also worth noting that most wrapped tokens act as collateralised tokens, requiring the staking/locking of another crypto asset (for example, a native token of a decentralised exchange or DEX protocol) in order to access the wrapped token.
General overview
Binance USD is a regulated, collateralised, fiat-backed stablecoin that is pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio. Founded by two major entities – Paxos, and Binance – the USD-denominated stablecoin was approved by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). Notably, it was one of the very few stablecoins to get approved in the US.
Paxos is a regulated blockchain technology company that offers its stablecoin as a service product to external companies. In this case, they act as the third-party reserve for Binance stablecoin in an FDIC-insured US bank.
Just as with other wrapped stablecoins, BUSD was created to ensure ease of transaction within the decentralised finance (DeFi) ecosystem. And while it is built in compliance with the ERC-20 token standard with support for BEP-2 wallet, the fiat-backed stablecoin is interoperable with multiple blockchains.
For every single BUSD token owned by a person, an equivalent of that amount is held in an actual bank account. As mentioned earlier, an amount equal to the actual BUSD supply is held in the possession of Paxos who acts as a third-party reserve in an FDIC-insured US bank.
Also, given that BUSD is a wrapped token, it is subject to the same market activities as its fiat counterpart. In other words, when the value of the fiat currency goes up or down, the same impact resonates with the BUSD token.
In general, BUSD exist in three different chains; Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Binance Chain, while it is able to achieve three main attributes including accessibility, flexibility, and speed.
Technology – how does BUSD work?
The mechanism behind BUSD is a fairly simple one, especially when compared to how difficult some other stablecoins can be to grasp. Notably, BUSD uses a deflationary mechanism that ensures the supply and reserve for BUSD/USD are constantly kept at a 1:1 ratio. In other words, the mechanism ensures that each BUSD is exchangeable for $1 USD in the Paxos reserve.
When BUSD is bought, an equivalent of that amount in BUSD is created while a fiat equivalent is paid to Paxos for safekeeping.
On the other hand, when a BUSD is sent to Paxos, the blockchain infrastructure platform subsequently burns the token and provides you with the fiat equivalent when a sell order is requested, as a way of maintaining a constant supply/reserve of the BUSD/USD at 1:1 ratio.
The BUSD token is built on the back of the ERC-20 token standard. Consequently, it is compatible with several ERC-20 smart contacts. Likewise, the token standard adopted by BUSD enables interoperability among Ethereum-based wallets of exchanges.
Use cases
BUSD has numerous use cases for investors and traders, with the most prominent among them being to avoid price fluctuation in the crypto market. Because BUSD is a stable coin, it is used as a store of value during high volatility periods in the crypto market
Another popular application for BUSD is arbitrage trading, in which investors wait for periods when the value of USD to BUSD falls below the constant 1:1 ratio.
For example, there are times when the value of USD to BUSD falls slightly below $1. During this time, traders can buy BUSD in bulk and wait for the BUSD/USD value to return to a parallel position, at which point they can sell back for fiat and earn as low as $0.02 per BUSD traded.
Other notable applications for BUSD include locking in gains from other trade activities instead of converting directly to fiat. This way, it is easy to reinvest within an exchange, either by swapping or liquidity pooling for instance.
Ultimately, BUSD is one of the most standard pegged tokens to grace the stablecoin market as it provides necessary transparency and security which, in turn, makes it a top choice for investors and general crypto enthusiasts.
Maple — the world’s first crypto bond platform. It enables users of DeFi lending platforms to issue crypto bonds (aka Maple SmartBonds) secured by their crypto assets.
As DeFi lending expands, users will be able to create banks which issue bonds to raise money for lending to customers. With one tiny catch: they’re crypto banks, selling crypto bonds to global investors and using the proceeds to give crypto loans to any user with an internet connection. Ethereum will be home to the world’s first crypto capital market.
Maple’s MVP is nearly finalised and is going through private testing. The public Beta product is expected to be released in the next two weeks and will integrate with Compound. With Maple’s protocol, use your cDai as collateral to 1) create SmartBonds to borrow and speculate on interest rates or, 2) invest in SmartBonds to lock in a fixed interest return.
Maple collects revenue from the collateral to pay Investors.
What does Maple actually do?
Marketplace
Maple is a decentralised application which lets users create or invest in crypto bonds (SmartBonds). Maple is a two-sided marketplace with two types of users:
Supply: Issuers who create the bonds to borrow money; and
Demand: Investors who buy the bonds to earn interest.
The SmartBonds
The Maple SmartBonds are ERC20 tokens, paid for with Dai, which are 100% collateralised by interest-earning crypto assets. Each issuance of SmartBonds is collateralised by a unique basket of collateral staked by the Issuer (borrower). The Issuer retains Equity in the collateral so they have skin in the game (normally 10–20%) while Investors buy the SmartBonds.
Our MVP is integrated with Compound, so the collateral assets are cDai, which is a digital asset earning interest for the holder.
The Maple smart contract controls the cDai collateral to protect Investors so that it isn’t redeemed until the bonds are due to be repaid. Maple SmartBonds earn fixed rate interest for the Investor with the initial investment plus interest being paid in full when the bond matures. The way it works is that the collateral earns interest, which gets collected by the Maple smart contract, and that interest goes towards paying the Investors their fixed return with the Issuer keeping the remainder as profit.
Big Deal, What’s Magic About It?
Two things:
Maple replaces lending collateralised by cash with lending collateralised by assets. DeFi needs this! It is not efficient for businesses to set aside cash when they want loans for growth. Maple lets businesses borrow against revenue-generating assets so they can reinvest the debt and grow. We are starting with digital loans as revenue-generating assets but the platform and technology can expand to subscriptions, profit sharing tokens and much more.
Maple gives Investors different risk grade options. Until now you had one collateralisation level (150%) and one interest rate for everyone supplying on DeFi. Maple changes that. Now, more conservative investors can choose lower risk bonds (more collateral, lower interest) that get repaid first. More adventurous investors can choose medium risk bonds (less collateral, higher interest) getting repaid later.
Current use cases
Speculate on interest rates: Maple SmartBonds pay fixed interest, while the collateral earns floating interest. Think the Compound rate will rise? Then issue bonds to increase your profit.
Hedge interest rate risk: Think Compound rates will drop? Buy Maple SmartBonds to lock in a fixed rate.
Borrow against your DeFi savings: Supplying Dai on Compound? Then borrow against this “savings account” by creating Maple SmartBonds.
Be a crypto bank: Create Maple SmartBonds to borrow against cDai then reinvest in more cDai (fractional reserve banking). Keep the net interest left after paying Investors.
Cover multiple platforms: Borrow against your Compound supply then reinvest in Nuo, Uniswap or other DeFi platforms to diversify.
Long term possibilities
Bond markets power the traditional financial system. Maple puts this at the fingertips of DeFi users. Here’s a few ideas of where we can go:
Create Bond ETFs by basketing multiple Maple SmartBonds with TokenSet.
Creating crypto banks in countries without a financial system. Wireless internet networks let African countries leap-frog fixed-line infrastructure. Maple powers wireless financial infrastructure, bypassing conventional banks.
“Assets as collateral” makes more sense for businesses. They have valuable assets but not piles of Ether lying around. Maple can do bonds backed by subscription tokens (e.g. video streaming) and profit-share tokens (e.g. DAOs).
