What is VENO?

Veno is a liquid staking protocol built on Cronos. Veno’s goal is to be a one-stop solution for all $CRO staking, and enable a liquid form of $CRO that is highly secure, with lower staking commission, and with deep integration across the Cronos ecosystem. Users will be able to stake their $CRO directly with veno protocol and receive liquid $CRO token ($LCRO).

Veno’s long-term goal is to provide a price-competitive protocol, one which maximizes reliability and efficiency, via

• Cost savings: Veno leverage their own node infrastructure and/or the infrastructure of our partners.
• Reliability: Veno has enterprise-grade node set-up and deep expertise in running node infrastructure.
• Security: Veno has an insurance module that will help secure user funds in the unlikely event of a slashing penalty.

Veno aims to maximise the adoption and utility of the $LCRO token across the Cronos ecosystem.

• Veno wants to maximise the liquidity of $LCRO in the Cronos ecosystem and beyond, attracting the largest amount of capital, and attaining the lowest spread, with commitments to high reliability and low-fees.
• $LCRO is an auto-compounding yield-bearing token to maximise composability.
• Veno aims to further maximise user liquidity by providing a tradeable NFT after user unstakes their $CRO.

Basic Offering: ‘Gem Fair’ (USD 100,000 to raise)

In the Gem Fair, each person can contribute a MAXIMUM of $100 USD equivalent of VVS tokens.

To enter the Gem Fair, each user has to stake in xVVS Vaults, with varying amounts based on the different vault lockup period. Note: the staked amount cannot be split across multiple Vaults.

In essence, with a longer lockup period in the Vaults, the amount of xVVS staked required to enter the Gem Fair will be lowered.

The Gem Fair eligibility snapshot will be taken randomly between Jan 15th — Jan 16th. Make sure to complete the staking requirement by Jan 14th 11:59 PM UTC — 2023

The number of tokens available in this format will account for 100% of the total amount of token offering.

In order to ensure IGO participants have meaningful IGO allocation in the event of oversubscription, the Max Overflow mechanism will be implemented in the Basic Offering. The Basic Offering pool will stop accepting further deposit commitment once the overflow reaches 2x / 200% of the amount to raise.

Do note that the final allocation you receive will still be subject to the total amount raised in this method. However, you will not be battling any whales.

What Is the “Overflow” Method?

In essence, the more a user commits, the more allocation they may receive based on their percent commitment over the total committed amount. Any unspent amount is returned to users. The Overflow Method is illustrated by the following examples, when a user participates in the IGO via a Gem Fair.

FAQ

1) What is the overflow model*?

In essence, the more a user commits, the more allocation they may receive based on their percent commitment over the total committed amount. Any unspent amount is returned to users.

2) How are VVS users eligible for the $VNO IGO?
VVS users are required to stake xVVS in Vaults, meet the staking requirements and hold at least 2500 LCRO-CRO-LP on Ferro (in wallet or staked in Ferro) prior to the IGO to participate.

3) What is the max overflow cap for?

Max overflow is an optional feature if the project team wants to ensure an equitable size for pool participants. After the max overflow amount is hit, no additional users can commit further funds.

4) Any vesting/restriction on the funds raised?

We don’t impose vesting or restrictions, project owners can dissolve the LP, and utilize funds at their discretion.

5) Can we launch a Crystal Farm/Glitter Mine on your platform?

To incentive users to add further liquidity to your pool, we can launch a farm pair with your token. Generally, the IGO project owners sponsor an equivalent amount of token in a Glitter Mine for VVS users to earn your token.

6) How about co-marketing?

IGO is a deep partnership. Our team will be fully committed to promoting your project to our user base and launching co-marketing initiatives.
