Offshift.

A guide to understanding simply the technology, tokenomics, team and vision behind this project.

$XFT #Offshift @OffshiftXFT

/MEGA THREAD 🧵
1. Format of the thread

This thread will be broken down into:

-Value Proposition
-Tokenomics
-Vision
-Roadmap
-Price Metrics

Buckle up anon...
2. Background

DeFi has opened up a massive pathway in crypto, for individuals to earn a passive source of income based on their risk appetite.

Further to this, privacy has been long forgotten. Often at the expense of individuals.

$XFT aims to solve this tradeoff of privacy.
3. Vision

The ultimate vision includes a "scalable, interoperable, privacy-centric DeFi ecosystem composed of a diverse range of disruptive platforms and applications".

Termed the #Prifi landscape- "private DeFi".
4. Regulation

As most of the individuals in this space are already aware.

Regulation has come with the increasing popularity. There are plans for frameworks to be better integrated into financial infrastructure such as KYC.

This will only increase as TVL in DeFi increases.
5. Regulation (Part 2)

Monero, Zcash and other privacy coin community bar users from engaging with emerging DeFi.

Further to this, their stand alone nature has led them to being delisted by on/off ramps like exchanges that "cave" into authorities.
6. Value Proposition

How is this solved?

Using #zkProofs, Offshift mints synthetic, asset-pegged tokens that are intrinsically private.

Users can stake a claim on any asset they like without excessive collateral or liquidation risk.

All in an anonymous fashion.
7. More on Value (part 1)

-zkAssets minting- using #Ethereum smart contracts and #Chainlink oracle in conjuction.

Users can shift from zkAssets into XFT and vice versa.

-Asset Diversity: all assets with a price feed on one platform.
8. More on Value (part 2)

-1:1 Collateral, No slippage, No Margin calls, No liquidations or liquidity risk (burn and mint mechanism).

-Cross Chain: #Polkadot/#Moonbeam, Parity Technologies and PureStake. (low fees)

-Rug Pull Proof DeFi
This is a PRIORITY.

More on this...
9. Rug-Pull-Proof DeFi

Vetting projects for dishonest practice, exploitative tokenomic models, and outright deceit is harder to do nowadays

In response $XFT has employed a Strategic Vesting Model, Lockboxes for On-chain Reserves, and Liquidity Locks.

High Integrity Tokenomics.
10. Tokenomics

-Open source code will be published before Mainnet launch.
-Public Testnet will be experimented with iteratively.

User mints zkAsset- connect ERC 20 wallet- can shift $XFT into synth zkAsset.

Burn and Mint mechanism takes place under the surface.
11. Burn and Mint

Offshift’s Burn-and-Mint mechanism burns the user’s XFT and mints a new zkAsset in equal.

At any point, the user may Shift from his zkAsset into XFT, and the process reverses:

The Burn-and-Mint mechanism burns the zkAsset, and mints new XFT of equal value.
12. Staking Rewards

To both incentivize users to hold zkAssets and to incorporate another DeFi function into $XFT platform.

Offshift has allocated 15% of their Genesis Total
Supply (1,500,000 $XFT) to Staking Rewards.

Staking rewards went live in Q3 2021, so it is still early.
13. Fundraising

As an investor, you don't want to be subject to heavy token unlocks.

This is one of the beauties of $XFT.

Offshift raised capital through one round of seed investment and one round of private
investment.

In the interests of decentralizing token ownership...
14. Fundraising (Part 2)

Individual investment contributions were capped at $5,000 in USD-equivalents in both rounds.

Token Allocation

1,500,000 XFT were sold between the seed and private investment rounds.

250,000 XFT were deployed in the Uniswap liquidity pool
15. Tokenomics Resources

1,750,000 XFT comprised Offshift’s Circulating Supply as of their August 3, 2020 launch.

Team cannot modify token metrics or vesting- due to "lockbox" smart contracts.

A link to the distribution and wallet vesting schedules:

16. Recent Events

Offshift Pilot went live alongside their partnership with Zokyo.

They are focusing on building an interactive User Interface, which will be crucial to their asset centric platform.

17. Price Metrics

Whilst price should never be the main focus, it is important for us as investors.

Current Market Cap is $77,000,000

Fully Diluted Market Cap is $172,000,000

Token Price low (24 hours): $14.76
Conclusion

I am excited for the numerous possibilities that $XFT will bring as it deploys UI.

The tokenomics are excellent and second to none. I will be DCAing into a position in the coming week.

zkProof holds a strong narratives this year thus far and I am excited for $XFT.

KILT Protocol:

#Kilt is a fully decentralized identity protocol for issuing self-sovereign, verifiable credentials.

In this thread we will discuss the tech, tokenomics and the value proposition to help you understand the project in more simple terms.

/Thread 🧵
1. Value Proposition

$KILT is the only project in ID and Credentials which "solves the price/truth Paradox".

They produce affordable credentials whilst delivering the security of a permissionless blockchain.

This is key to adoption by the Financial Industry.
2. Visualise

Say you are sick.

If a person, X, comes to you claiming they are a doctor, it would be hard for you to trust this person, because you know nothing but their name.

If the same person produces a medical license issued by the government, you would trust them more.

A Nexus Protocol MEGA Thread

Terra’s first yield optimizer and liquidation protector vaults.

Changing DeFi as we know it.

Let's explore how... $PSI

/THREAD🧵
1. @NexusProtocol ? Tell me more.

A new protocol, launched with Col-5.

Focuses on:
-Yield optimisation
-Risk management
-Working in front of anchor

Optimisation such as front running $anc protocol operations and allowing the implementation of different strategies based on risk
2. Use Cases

Two vaults (bAsset and #UST )

You can deposit $eth, instead of $lido.

#ETH holders can access services of #anchor on #Terra by depositing it directly.

#NEXUS provides an insurance. How does insurance work today?

Mainly via personable identifiable information.

A MEGA Thread on #Syscoin

A solution to the "blockchain trilemma" using novel methods.

We will be exploring the underlying technology, tokenomics and roadmap to help you understand $SYS better,

/THREAD 🧵
1. What is #Syscoin?

Put simply, it is a decentralized blockchain network that solves the blockchain trilemma via a four-layer stack.

We will explore this later, but firstly lets look understand what problems $Sys aims to solve.
2. Syscoin' Network Enhanced Virtual Machine (NEVM)

NEVM allows developers to deploy complex products and utilise the ecosystem without any financial constraints.

All while being scalable, secure and interoperable.

People are learning about maximising stablecoin returns through #Curve.

In this thread we will explore what the #CurveWars are, and how you can maximise your returns through $CVX and $CRV.

In particular, dropping some alpha on the $BTRFLY Cartel DAO.

/THREAD 🧵
1. Understanding Curve Is Central

This thread will not be about explaining $Curve.

This is a good thread by @JackNiewold to read if you don't already have an understanding of #Curve.

2. [Redacted] Cartel is an $OHM fork.

$BTRFLY is the rebase governance token. The treasury of Redacted DAO bonds $CRV and $CVX to mint $BTRFLY.

It is an Olympus Fork entering curve wars. Building on one of the most upcoming principles of DeFi.

Let's talk about $Saito

A blockchain solving a multitude of economic problems that have caused incentive issues in the past.

We will be discussing the technology, fundamentals and tokenomics to help you understand better.

Let's dive in...

THREAD/🧵
As we discussed about Research Methodology in this Medium article (linked below),

We first must discuss the problems that $Saito aims to solve.

medium.com/@crypto8fi/how…

/1
The issues $Saito aims to solve revolves around thee traditional scalable commercial blockchain.

It is difficult to be:

-Open
-Secure
-Self Sufficient (decentralization)

Often there is the compromise of one of these.

A SHORT Thread on @ThetaNuts

Let's talk about Options Trading on #Terra #LUNA.

Learning this, when 99% of the space hasn't inherently puts you at an advantage.

/THREAD 🧵
If you are not clear on exactly what options are,

Don't worry anon, I shall simplify these concepts for you.

Then we will discuss options on Terra, and why this is so interesting.

/1
An options contract offers the buyer the opportunity to buy or sell depending on the type of contract they hold—the underlying asset.

Call options and put options form the basis for a wide range of option strategies.
