What is $LOFI?
$LOFI will be used on the LOFI-DEFI platform for tipping, subscribing and purchasing NFTs. Connecting creators and investors on the Binance Smart Chain.
01.INTRODUCTION
LOFI-DEFI is a cryptocurrency focused on supporting artists, musicians, and
artisans of all stripes by creating an asset and platform that invests in their
future and help build their brand, while providing investors with an investment
vehicle that’s set up to deliver exponential returns for years to come.
The token itself will be deployed on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network with
an original take on the ‘Safe’ contract, employing the knowledge of previous
projects to ultimately create the best possible contract to not only ensure
future growth, but investor confidence.
We’ve assembled a team of excellent specialists in their field that are working
diligently every day in order to ensure the project’s success. We’re also
committed to being public with our identities and all financial information in
order to maintain the highest level of transparency as possible.
Part of our success will be based on community engagement, and in order to
further that goal we’ll be creating a governance system that encourages holding
and rewards our most committed investors. Decisions that affect the community
such as adjustments to the contract and how the fees that are collected will be
subjected to these community engagement measures so that our investors’ voices
are always heard.
As part of our interest in making cryptocurrency and community investment as
accessible as possible, we’ll be releasing an app with an integrated wallet and
fiat onramp to remove the middle step of having to convert cash to BNB before
purchasing LOFI, the native token of the platform.
We’ll also be releasing a platform to focus on spotlighting and supporting
creators. The platform will function as a virtual gallery, tipping,
subscription, streaming, and marketplace partner program in order to give
holders of LOFI a place to use their token to support artists by investing in
them or their work. LOFI will also be making regular charitable contributions
with collected proceeds based on community input and governance.
02. MARKET
LOFI-DEFI will be catered towards artisans of all types, with specific focus
on up-and-coming musicians and artists who are looking for recognition and
monetary support.
The NFT market is being more prolific as time goes on with big companies such as
HUMBL getting in the game, but the support for the creators of these works is
almost nonexistent.
We’ll initially be featuring artists and community members on our website which
provides added value to our holders as we grow. Each artist will have their own
profile page with a direct link and QR code to donate to them or contact them to
purchase their work.
We find that people don’t want to use their cryptocurrency to buy mundane things
that they can use cash to buy. For the most part people invest in crypto for
its growth potential not for its utility to be able to purchase everyday items.
However, people are much more likely to donate an investment property to people
they like and support in order to see them share in their own success.
For this reason, we believe that the utility provided by connecting investors
and creators will be a much more easily adopted use case than most projects.
03. CONTRACT
There are two main principles for a deflationary token with passive rewards;
reflection and burn. Reflection passively rewards users for holding by awarding
them tokens based on their weighted holdings of the total supply, while burn
constantly decreases the total supply making each token progressively more
valuable.
The way we accomplish this in the contract is with three main functions. The
first is the reflection function that increases the value of the tokens you hold,
the second is the direct burn where we send tokens from every transaction to
the burn wallet.
The ‘Reflection’ contract is a mainstay in the DeFi sector. The contract rewards
holders of the token by awarding them a percentage of the tokens from every
transaction, increasing their bag in proportion to how much of the total supply
they’re holding. The actual way this is accomplished is by changing the value
of the tokens that you currently hold in your wallet, or else the contract
would just be looping through all the addresses constantly distributing tokens
and wasting gas. The reflection contract has been used in multiple contracts
here recently and has been thoroughly audited as a known quantity.
For the burn, we opted to take a different approach than many other tokens. The
common industry practice is to collect tokens somewhere, either in a dev wallet
or the contract most commonly, and manually send them to the burn wallet. What
is the burn wallet? The burn wallet is the address 0x0000~ where we send tokens
to so that they can’t be recovered. Essentially this is taking them out of
the circulating supply and they’re never coming back, which is where the term
‘burning’ comes from. The effect of this is that as the total supply goes down,
the value of each remaining token increases. The increase of tokens in your bag
and the progressively increasing value of each token ensures that as trading
happens users are rewarded for holding.
Lastly we have our 1% team fee to cover operating expenses and overhead. We do
smaller, incremental swaps for BNB will allow us to maintain momentum and not
create ripples when we need funds. The wallet where the fees are being kept is
a multi-sig wallet which means that all four core team members need to present
their keys in order to make any transfers out of the wallet to make sure nobody
can remove funds unauthorized.
We’ve decided to maintain control over the contract in order to adjust these
numbers and address other issues that are encountered with this novel approach
as we scale up. We’re confident that our transparent approach will inspire more
confidence and legitimacy than flippantly renouncing contract ownership which
would cripple us in the future.
