A sustainable future full of new value experiences, products & utility for your @_VaporFi node & $VPND is right around the corner! We're excited to complete our evolution and deliver true sustainability & long-term value for our community
🧵49 pg deck condensed into a mega TLDR!
Here's everything that's covered and contemplated in our Node Evolution presentation & AMA
Our upcoming community proposals, all to support our Node Evolution initiative. All proposals are announced in our discord, get ready to vote (and ask questions)
Evolving our Nodes (1/2)
Your node is exclusive access to long-term value, benefits, and rewards. Sustainable rewards and renewable replenishment of reward pools is key to enable this. Lots of new utility coming for your nodes, TVL, and $VPND
Evolving our Nodes (2/2)
Your node in and of itself is special, and your TVL acts as a means of enhanced value and rewards. Your node will play a vital role in our community & ecosystem - sometimes its size will matter, other times - just having a node (of any size) is enough
Passport Rewards Pool (1/2)
Your node is your ticket to the new passport reward pool, and your TVL determines your fair allocation of its $USDC emissions. Passport is funded and fueled by revenue from every product that we build
Passport Rewards Pool (2/2)
Every product we build contributes to the passport rewards pool, and we're just getting started with @VaporDEX and @VAPORCHAlN; current design of passport has 20% of revenue from most DEX lines going directly back to community via Passport
Into the Atmosphere (1/2)
A true ecosystem has something very special bringing it all together, and for us - that's #ProjectElevate, our homegrown and fully scalable loyalty & rewards program that pays back our community for the actions they take in the products we build
Into the Atmosphere (2/2)
Elevate creates an unprecedented & memorable value experience for our entire community, and enables partners who launch on @VaporDex and @VAPORCHAlN to reward their community as well! Wait till you see what we have in-store for Elevate.
Role of $VPND (1/2)
$VPND gets a massive overhaul and huge new utility, the days of it being a node-centric claim & sell token are coming to an end. Utility time.
Role of $VPND (2/2)
How about some massive new utility and a whole new value proposition? $VPND is the only token that can unlock the initial supply of $VAPE, and eventually $VAPOR as well. 10+ years of mining utility incoming
Role of Node TVL
Your TVL is now also multi-dimensional, giving you access to $VPND rewards as well as $USDC rewards from the passport pool. As we approach the shutdown of compounding/deposits and open the secondary market and passport grows, TVL will become scarce
Reward Model Evolution (1/2)
It's time for the community to vote on a new reward model for a sustainable future. We're recommending a new Global Distribution emissions & reward model that bases emissions on the balance & health of the reward pool
Reward Model Evolution (2/2)
Our recommended emissions model is 0.27% of the balance of the reward pool (minus pending rewards), which would then pay out in a fair allocation to all nodes based on their % of global TVL. 100% sustainable, rewards cut + sell volume decline
Nodes as NFTs
Our governance roadmap ends in the ability for us to convert your nodes to NFTs in a responsible manner, and open a secondary market for them on @_UnChainedNFTs. Strategic series of events to cap & add utility, allowing you to buy & sell nodes to increase your TVL
Value Experiences
The future is upon us, and with it tons of new value paths opening up. Not sure what to do, well here's 4 hypothetical archetypes and what they may be most interested in. Grow, harvest, or divest - its all on the table at the end of our community proposals

2/ Breaking down the presentation - we cover an overview of $VAPE and its token economy, a look at the supply of the token, and then an initial glance at our new node-powered manufacturing that we'll be building in conjunction with VAPE's rollout
Could not be prouder of how #ProjectElevate is coming together in preparation for launch. We have years worth of new features identified, and no one in DeFi is doing what we'll be doing at @_VaporFi for our community (and partners)
Here's a little appetizer & mindset insight 🧵
People flocked to nodes & DeFi for passive income, we're here to establish SOURCES of sustainable passive long-term VALUE. Value for a consumer, for our protocol to continue expanding, and value for our growing community. This is our mindset, this is our north star
Value can be found by almost anyone. Sources of sustainable LONG-TERM value are where the true builders can separate themselves from the rest of the pack. Teams that can bring together the best community, builders, creators, and strategists will always find a way to adapt & grow
Part 3 of 3 exploring #NaaS#DaaS projects & sharing back my experience & what I've learned
See thread for the following 🔽
✅ Project overview
✅ Initial experience
✅ Team & community
✅ Sustainability & value
1/
Project overview
VaporFi is a hybrid #NaaS#DaaS protocol on the @avalancheavax network. It pays out $VPND and flipped the script on catering to small investors with a unique compounding reward system
Whitepaper has room for improvement, but goes into great detail exactly where needed and provides a solid glimpse into what the protocol is focused on, and what it's value proposition is
▶️ Distribution %
▶️ Compound bonuses
▶️ Treasury investments

Project overview
Pentagon Financial is a #DaaS protocol on @0xPolygon which pays out in $PENT and uses a very intriguing (and fun) fusion mechanism to upgrade nodes to increase yields. They also have a unique renting option as well!
