Today we're going to do a deeper dive into the token allocation and tokenomics of @fantom_oasis, a decentralized project launchpad for the @FantomFDN network. We will explore the staking mechanism and its benefits as well.
🔥🔥 Let's go! 🔥🔥
@fantom_oasis@FantomFDN We've done an article and a tweet thread on Fantom Oasis before, so you can refresh your memory to see what this is all about first. Here:
🔹 FTMO is the token
🔹 Helps connect project creators with investors
🔹 For project creators - help on different aspects from financing to strategic advice
🔹 For investors - bonuses are given to FTMO stakers e.g. increased allocation size of new project tokens
🔹 FTMO tokens have a hard cap of 100 M tokens
🔹 Different stakeholders can get tokens at different prices and vesting periods
🔹 Higher the price of the tokens, the higher the percentage of tokens unlocked
🔹 Details can be found in the table here
@fantom_oasis@FantomFDN 🔹 We did an infographic to showcase the major stakeholders of the token allocation here
🔹 27% of the total supply was allocated under sales
🔹 50% of the total supply is allocated for liquidity mining rewards
🔹 30% will be emitted in the first 90 days, 20% will be released slowly thereafter
🔹 Hence the yield will be very high in the first 90 days and drop off from there
@fantom_oasis@FantomFDN 🔹 FTMO holders can stake their tokens in pools to get a yield
🔹 If the LP tokens are staked as well, a staking score is given that determines the bonuses for new project tokens under Fantom Oasis
🔹 The more tokens and the longer they are staked, the higher the bonuses are
@fantom_oasis@FantomFDN 🔹 But this has a floor and a ceiling to prevent big whales from dominating, nor smaller accounts from gaming the system
🔹 Staking bonuses include discounts to new projects tokens, increase in max allocation size etc

In this episode of Talking Crypto, @gabrielhaines interviewed Andras Kristof, CEO/founder of @ether_cards and @MarkHahnel, Chief Scientist of @genomesio. We'll find out what Ether Cards is about and also learn more about the collaboration with Genomes.io.
🔹 Started with blockchains around 2013 when $ETH did not exist and $BTC was $10
🔹 Build the first $BTC ATM in Asia in 2014
🔹 Built a system where anyone can build and issue their own tokens by forking @Ripple
🔹 But $ETH came out and they switched over there
🔹 Academic background - PhD in stem cell biology and genomics
🔹 Pulled into the tech and data world after that
🔹 Knew Andras when Genomes.io were with @ConsenSys
🔹 Going to collaborate with Ether Cards and use their platform
🔹 Joined the space 4 years ago when she was with @Fidelity
🔹 Had to figure out which use cases to be prioritized
🔹 Fell in love with the ecosystem
🔹 Joined @blockchaincap
🔹 Co-Founded @KomorebiFund, a DAO focused on investing in female & non-binary founders
🔹 Bucket it into 2 categories:
1️⃣ What can people do with NFTs?

🔹 Unsure whether DAOs will go mainstream
🔹 DAOs are opt-in communities; you get what you put in
🔹 Trend is to have 1000s of small communities
🔹 DAO onboarding is ⬆️ challenging
Beanstalk is a decentralized credit-based stablecoin protocol and we're going to focus exclusively on the dynamic peg mechanism of @BeanstalkFarms.
How does the stablecoin $BEAN maintain its price? To understand that, we have to talk about riding a bicycle 🚲
@BeanstalkFarms When you're riding a bicycle 🚲, you're never really in a balance all the time. You're always making adjustments like tilting the handle and shifting your body weight. An experienced rider will make these adjustments subconsciously and the bicycle appears to be balanced.
@BeanstalkFarms But it is really just these 3 steps repeated continuously:
1⃣ Bicycle tilts to one side
2⃣ Make adjustments to tilt it back
3⃣ Balanced for a short while
