What is inside the Black Box?

A thread about the @missingfrontier and @missingwatcher covering:

- What is GameFi?
- What is Frontier?
- What is in the Black Box?
- What are Flash Blocks?
- Who is The Watcher?
- What is $DATA utility token?
- When can you play?
- Should you ape?
1. What is GameFi?

It’s like DeFi but with games.

You collect items and solve puzzles. Along the way you earn more crypto assets + the assets you bought become more valuable.

Remember how World of Warcraft characters would sell for $10k in 2007?

This is that on steroids.
2. What is Frontier?

A community driven Player versus Player (PvP) online game.

The founder says: “we are sitting on an Riot Games of NFT level opportunity by turning the Browser Game into a competitive AAA game”

Here’s a preview of product quality and what to expect.
3. What is in the Black Box?

Folks holding the Black Box on a certain date will get The Data Key.

Those holding Black Box + The Watcher (shown here) will get The Data Key [Stellar Edition]

When you open a Black Box you will be able to mint 2 Flash Blocks.
4. What are Flash Blocks?

Weapons, shields and abilities you can use during the game.

Whether you are attacking or defending a sector, you will be offered the opportunity to use three of them.

Depending on their effects, you can dramatically impact the outcome of a battle.
5. Who is The Watcher?

The Watcher S/N 404 is a mysterious entity sent out for a mission on TRIUMPH-1.

The community controls the hero and experience his story.

NFT Collectors receive handmade physical pieces that are unique to each episode.

Here’s where the story is at:

6. What is the $DATA utility token?

$DATA Tokens will provide:

✚ Airdrops (20% and royalties)

✚ In-Game Utility such as voting power

✚ Official Ownership (+IP)

✚ Copyrights allowing you to create and sell Frontier-related products

✚ Token Valuation
7. When can you play?

TBD. For now you can join the discord server and find most info there.

Both the Watcher and Black Boxes are on @opensea and @rarible for purchase. Including OpenSea links here.

2. opensea.io/THE_WATCHER?id…

8. Should you ape?

Here’s a framework I found thanks to @DoughYeasty

Key questions are:
1. Is it a breakthrough project?
2. Is it credible?
3. Are there incentives or utility?
4. What is collectibility quotient?
5. Aesthetically pleasing?

Why @KlimaDAO matters.

The price of carbon credits varies widely from $1-$50 per, averages at $3-5/ton today. Price depends on:

1. Type of carbon offset project,
2. Carbon standard under which it was developed,
3. Location of offset,
4. Vintage year
5. Co-benefits
Klima DAO will tokenise varified carbon credits into Tokenized Carbon Tons (TCT).

Every TCT will be backed by at least 1 tonne of CO2 credit.

When a TCT is brought on-chain, it will be removed from the off-chain database.
Using Creol’s open-source carbon-credit-tokeniser, Klima DAO will onboard Verified Carbon Units (VCUs) from the Verra Registry in to the ecosystem as TCTs.

Vera Registry has issued 760 million tons of VCUs and it was launched in 2020. Image

Recruiting 101 in an Anon world.

A thread about how @0xZaius went from conceiving an idea to share Incooom more fairly on August 17 to launching it on September 9 (23 days) Image
1. On August 17, @wagmianon and I conducted an information session about financial modeling and safely using leverage to enhance returns (known as the 9,9 strategy).

@0xZaius saw that session and thought there should an easier way to let everyone access Alfa.
2. So he starts recruiting people. He says he’s been a part of Olympus since the beginning so he knew who is good and who is a contributor.

This is the really interesting part.

There are over 12k Ohmies but about 65 or so active contributors.

@OlympusDAO Liquidity Bonds versus Liquidity Mining:

2 ways to bootstrap token liquidity but with different financial and psychological implications for token holders.

A thread exploring the cost of acquiring + maintaining liquidity through two different methods. Image
1. What is Liquidity Mining?

Token XYZ launches, offering high APRs in XYZ terms.

This encourages yield seekers to create Liquidity Pools or LP tokens on a DEX like Uniswap.🦄

APRs are kept high to compensate liquidity providers against "impermanent loss". 📉 Image
2. What is impermanent loss?

It is loss borne by an LP token holder when price of two tokens diverges from the point an LP token was minted.

Much longer discussion here.

TL;DR: there’s plenty of risk here so be aware liquidity providers. Image

Q. How is $OHM not a ponzi?

A. $OHM is completely transparent and generates revenues beyond bond sales.

~$30k/day ($11 mm annualized) from trading fees and it could generate another $3 mm / yr on its stablecoin balance, assuming 11% yields.

👇

$14 mm / year WITHOUT bond sales Image
There are roughly 1 million $OHM in circulation so $14/OHM is the non bond revenue/OHM/yr

Non bond revenue per $OHM / price per $OHM = 14/415 = 3.4%

Without ANY external capital inflows, $OHM holders can realize a 3.4% dividend yield right now.

Ponzi schemes cannot do this. Image
Q. But these trading and yield farming revenues are less than 10% of total rev, what about that?

A. $OHM is less than 4 months old and it’s in an expansionary phase. It’s treasure balance is barely $30 mm with liquidity barely $65 mm.

Over time non bond revenue % should ⬆️ Image

Hi Ohmies, the policy team at @OlympusDAO made an announcement today that you should check out.

Here’s a brief thread explaining the levers used to put these policies in action and also a bit of rationale/explanation behind each statement. Image
1. To decrease bond capacity, a bond’s Bond Control Variable (BCV) is increased.

Bond Price = 1 + debtRatio x BCV

By drastically increasing FRAX BCV from 690 -> 13,900, bond price for a given debt ratio will rise.

This is how FRAX capacity gets reduced. Image
2. However, these BCV targets are gradually changed.

You can track their change progress on the policy dashboard.

Over time you will see FRAX intake dramatically reducing.

What is liquidity and why does it matter for $OHM holders?

A thread for Ohmies wondering how liquidity fits into the overall equation and how to interpret results on dashboard. Image
1. Liquidity is ability to turn an asset into cash.

If you try to sell your house at 30% below market value you will find plenty of buyers.

Try selling at a 30% premium and you won’t find as many.

Point being: liquidity depends on selling price and asset quality.
2. Asset quality depends on an asset’s ability to generate cash flow.

Or command a premium in case of art.

$OHM has strong cash flows. A $23 mm cash balance growing at $500k/day.

If $OHM was a typical Series A start up, there would be NO liquidity for its tokens btw.
