$SWTH is the governance token of @0xcarbon, which is a DeFi-focused L1 chain on Cosmos, with built-in DeFi modules like orderbooks, CDP (money markets), perpetual, flexi network fees, etc.
They are tailored for DeFi dApps, offering the best DeFi experience for users.
Dem.exchange is one such DeFi dApps currently live on the Carbon network.
It is a frontend UI for users to easily interact with Carbon's inbuilt DeFi modules.
Demex is an all-in-one DeFi hub that offers a frictionless trading experience that rivals CEXs.
How do their tokenomics work?
They have a 5-year inflation schedule, and fortunately for new investors, it's about 3 years in and 80% of the supply is out.
The current inflation is 6%, and goes towards 0% by 2025.
When users trade on Carbon (via Demex), transaction and trading fees are incurred, of which:
- 50% goes to $SWTH stakers
- 40% to LP providers determined by the community
- 10% goes to SDF (Switcheo Development Fund).
Real-yield ✅

What about validators?
Validators are paid a percentage of the revenue to $SWTH stakers, so their funds come from the stakers' revenue. Many are around 5% of stakers revenue.
As volume on Carbon (via Demex) increases, validators continue to earn more real-yield as well.
What about utility?
Apart from staking to get real-yield...
$SWTH can be used to provide liquidity, and also be deposited on Demex's money market to mint Carbon's stablecoin $USC.
Staking $SWTH will soon give you trading discounts as well.
Tokenomics were designed to transition to increasing real-yield revenue which replaces decreasing staking rewards overtime as the platform matures and trading volume goes up.
Buy-back and burn is being discussed to turn $SWTH deflationary.
2. The revenue comes legitimately from trading activities.
All revenue is paid back to Carbon's supporters which are made up of stakers and liquidity providers via decreasing staking rewards & increasing real-yield rewards, and to developers via the Switcheo development grants.
3. It can not be overstated how important it is for legitimate token valuation to be backed by real revenue and utility.
Carbon/Demex/Nitron revenue is real, growing, and should be sustainable long-term as long as it continues to launch new features that increase trading volume.
Tokenomics tldr;
- Fixed Supply with 80% out ✅
- Low inflation at 6% yearly going to 0% by 2025 ✅
- Real-yield rewards from trading volume ✅
- Sustainable rewards if trading volume goes up ✅
- All fees go back to supporters ✅
- No 'hidden team wallet' redirecting fees ✅

0/15 $CANTO has received a lot of attention recently but I haven't seen an all-in-one thread.
So I decided to explore their ecosystem to help you understand what @CantoPublic is, how it works, and is it a ponzi?
🧵 on everything you need to know about $CANTO.
LFG! 🚀
1/ The first thing I noticed is that their website has hacker vibes which might attract degens but may turn away tradfi peeps.
On the tech, Canto is fully EVM compatible, so forking solidity dapps to Canto easy, and Canto is twice as fast as Ethereum (6s vs 12s blocktime).
2/ Canto is originally an $EVMOS fork, using Tendermint consensus and EVM execution layer via Cosmos SDK (but uses metamask).
They are a DeFi-Focused L1, similar to @SeiNetwork and @0xcarbon, as they have built-in DeFi modules, so it's easier for devs to build DeFi apps on it.
Stader started with their liquid staking solutions on Terra.
After the unfortunate collapse of the chain in May 2022, the team pivoted to become multi-chain, currently supporting BSC, Near, Fantom, Hedera, and Terra 2.0.
Stader currently has a market cap of around $15 million (and growing fast!) and has a TVL of around $155 million.
However, none of this is liquid staked ETH, until now.
Stader has recently announced that they will be launching their liquid staked ETH, EthX, in March of 2023.
- Deepest liquidity stablecoin
- First inflation-pegged stablecoin
- First time-weighted AMM DEX
- First money market where you can borrow against staked ETH
- Highest yielding staked ETH APR
