Summary and Comparisons of Printer Protocols
Why are they undervalued?

$ETHP $FTMP $ANYP $ICY
Threads πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡ Image
1/9 What are they?
A printer protocol (or reflection token) charges a higher tax from every trade. A proportion of it is then paid back to the token holders based on their percent in the total supply.
2/9 How do they work?
Say the total tax is 20% with 12% holder reflection.
You put $1k:
- you get $800 worth of tokens in your bag
If total vol. is $100k a day:
- $12k ($100k * 12%) is sent to all holders daily
If 0.1% of the total supply are your tokens:
- you get $12 a day Image
3/9 What’s special?
The high tax system.
It may seem ridiculous, but it has two wonderful effects:
- Incentivize holders: you earn reflections from any trade, the longer you hold, the more you get
- Disincentivize flippers: you essentially pay more to buy, take a discount to sell
4/9 Are they sustainable?
Tokenomics wise, yes, they aren't inflationary tokens and reflections benefit both the holders and the treasury.
Growth-wise, protocols rely on trading volume, so the key is the team behind who can keep building and creating the vibe
5/9 Any specific risks about them?
Like any crypto project, there are risks
- Decreases in trading volume and token value will dilute the reflections, meaning the expected ROI would take longer
- The general crypto risks also apply such as rugs/volatility/etc.
6/9 How are they compared to other passive income protocols?
Retaining investors is key to all passive income protocols
- Printers: high tax/reflect -> you hold
- DAOs: high APY and (3, 3) -> you stake
- NaaS: buy nodes upfront -> you lock
- DeFi 3.0: reflect/invest -> you hold
7/9 Should I invest?
A trend I'm seeing in passive income protocols is that the boundaries between sectors are becoming blurry.
Soon the standard offering for any project may be DAOs/NaaS/FaaS/DaaS/launchpad/reflections/NFT/etc.
This means:
7.1/9 Should I invest?
For strategic investors, it is less about picking the sector, but more about picking the right team that can grow and evolve
7.2/9 Should I invest?
Printers are sitting at only 1/10 of the MC compared to DAOs/DeFi 3.0/NaaS, while growing to provide the same features others provide.
This is like the textbook definition of UNDERVALUE btw
7.3/9 Should I invest?
NaaS experienced a consolidating period to fix the sustainability issue and add new offerings, then they skyrocketed 10x.
Printers look similar rn, instead, adding new offerings such as DAO/DaaS/NFT, you know what's next
8/9 Who are the major players?
$ETHP $FTMP $ANYP $ICE Image
9/9 Next?
Will write a deep dive thread on one or two protocols

A deep dive on $FTMP and when is the best time to enter? plus an alpha
πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡
1/10 Intro
$FTMP is a printer protocol (or reflection token) that charges a higher tax from every trade. A big proportion is used to pay back the holders based on their % of the token in the total supply.

A summary and comparison of DeFi 3.0 protocols, and why they are on fire πŸ”₯ rn
$MCC $REFI $CAT $AGFI $ECC $SCC $CCC $CCF Image
1/ What is DeFi 3.0?
The treasury invests in 100s of DeFi protocols for you, like an active management fund, and you receive the profit passively by simply holding the token, aka DaaS/FaaS.
Another feature is reflection, i.e. every txn ppl makes on the token, you earn a share
2/ How do they sustain?
Normally, the profit from treasury investment are used to buying back their tokens, some may have airdrops.
In addition, the reflection incentivizes ppl to hold in order to earn from each txn, while at the same time strengthening the treasury investment.
