💻 Product Rollout Roadmap:

It's been a busy few weeks and now it's time to talk product.

The devs have been working hard in the background and are almost ready to roll our our mainnet phase 1 launch.

Here are the details 👇

/1 Deadlines:

We are focused on delivering on both quality and deadlines.

But we will always prioritise a perfect, secure product over rushing to meet deadlines.

There can be the occasional minor delay, which is quite normal for a tech business.

📣 Announcing our integration and vault partnership with @SushiSwap.

This will give vault creators direct access to Sushi liquidity and assets, and future potential for cross chain swaps.

We'll also create custom Bento vaults in conjunction with the Sushi team.

/1 🍣 Most of you will know Sushi - a leading DEX with deep liquidity and volume on multiple Arbitrum assets.

In addition they offer a broad suite of DeFi products that open up a world of potential for Factor vault and strategy creators.

📣 Excited to announce an integration and vault collaboration with @GMX_IO.

Factor = the infrastructure and liquidity layer for on-chain asset management!

GMX = a decentralized spot and perpetual exchange supported by a multi asset LP that earns platform fees.

Details 👇

/1 📈 GMX is a decentralized spot and perpetual exchange that supports low swap fees and zero price impact trades.

Trading is supported by a unique multi-asset LP that earns a share of trading fees.

🗣️ We listened to community feedback! 2 important announcements:

1. POL increase, deploying 50% of funds raised
2. Ecosystem incentives now vested for 12 months

This brings initial circulating supply down to 18% with the majority in the hands of public sale participants.

/1 The purpose of this is to reduce the circulating supply at launch and put power in the hands of public sale participants.

Aside from a small treasury and ecosystem incentives allocation there all tokens will either be in POL (launch LP) or owned by public sale participants.

/2

📣 2 big announcements to cement our partnership with our friends over at @CamelotDEX

1️⃣ The Camelot Roundtable Index, launching as our first partner vault.

2️⃣ For the added security of our public sale participants we are adding Myrddin from the Camelot team to our multi-sig. ⚔️ Camelot has done a superb job emerging as the premier native DEX on Arbitrum.

They've worked hard to bring together some of the most credible Arbitrum DeFi protocols as part of their roundtable.

As a middleware layer for DeFi Factor shares this mission.

🧵 We believe that on-chain asset management is the next narrative that will drive large-scale DeFi adoption.

But it's more than just a narrative! Asset management platforms can act as the infrastructure and liquidity hubs for DeFi!

Here is the business case for Factor 👇 😃 The opportunity:

To transform DeFi from a niche, siloed billion-dollar industry into a widely adopted trillion-dollar industry.

We can do this by providing a secure, no-code, one-click infrastructure to aggregate core DeFi products and liquidity. 2/
