Introducing the New Token on Arbitrum L2

Transition to Arbitrum L2: A New Era for WSG

We’re excited to announce that WSG is transitioning to the Arbitrum L2 chain, marking a significant step forward in our journey. This transition comes with the introduction of a new token, designed to leverage the benefits of the Arbitrum L2’s enhanced efficiency and scalability.

Tokenomics: Building a Balanced Ecosystem

  • Total Supply: The new token has a total supply of 500 million.
  • Airdrop to WSG Holders: 15% of the supply is allocated for an airdrop to existing WSG holders that will send their holdings to a specific address posted, with 20% released immediately and the remainder vested over 6 months starting on March 20th & locked pool stakers who will receive their tokens into a new locked pool with a maximum of 3 months locking period.
  • Additional Airdrops: 5% of the supply is reserved for future airdrops.
  • Liquidity: 15% is dedicated to ensuring liquidity.
  • Rewards & Staking: 20% is allocated for rewards and staking incentives.
  • Marketing: 20% will fuel our marketing efforts.
  • Team and Future Development: 10% is reserved for the team and future development initiatives.
  • Advisors: 5% is allocated to advisors.
  • OTCs: 10% is set aside for over-the-counter deals after the release of the new token.

Tax Structure: Ensuring Sustainable Growth

  • 1% Buy and Sell Tax: Transactions with the token on the Arbitrum chain will incur a 1% tax on both buying and selling.
  • Tax Allocation: The collected taxes will be distributed as follows:
  • 75% Treasury, Marketing & Team: A major portion of the tax will support the treasury, marketing efforts, and team development.
  • 25% Burn: A quarter of the tax will be permanently removed from circulation, aiding in controlling the token’s supply and value.

This new token and its economic model are designed to foster a robust and sustainable ecosystem, benefiting all stakeholders in our community. The transition to Arbitrum L2 chain not only enhances our platform’s performance but also aligns with our long-term vision for growth and innovation.

Date of expected release: February 2024

What the Transition Means for Current WSG Token Holders

A New Beginning: Transitioning to the New Token

As we embrace the new token on the Arbitrum L2 chain, it’s crucial to address what this means for our current WSG token holders. We’ve outlined a comprehensive plan to ensure a smooth transition for our loyal community.

Airdrop Allocation for Old Token Holders

  • 15% Airdrop: Current WSG token holders that will send their holdings to a specific address posted, are eligible for an airdrop, constituting 15% of the new token’s total supply.
  • Pricing: The airdrop will be based on the approximate value of the old WSG token before the snapshot.
  • Immediate Release and Vesting: 20% of the airdropped tokens will be available immediately at the token generation event, with the remaining balance vested linearly over 6 months, starting on the 20th of March.

Snapshot and Eligibility

  • Snapshot Timing: The snapshot of WSG holdings will be taken after the deadline for sending tokens to a designated wallet.
  • Eligibility Criteria: Eligible participants include:
  • Holders with WSG tokens staked in the locked pool.
  • Holders who send their WSG tokens to the specified address by the deadline.
  • Holders that have their tokens on the MEXC centralized exchange

Staking Pool Transition

  • New Pool Locking: Tokens currently in the locked staking pool will be transitioned to a new pool on the Arbitrum L2 chain.
  • Locking Period: The maximum locking period in the new pool will be 3 months. However, if the existing locking period is less than 3 months, it will be adjusted accordingly.

This transition plan is designed to honor the commitment of our existing token holders while paving the way for the new token’s integration into the Arbitrum L2 ecosystem. We believe this approach balances fairness and growth, ensuring a seamless shift for our community.

Telegram Revamp & Team Change Details: Streamlining Communication and Refreshing Our Team

Revitalizing Our Telegram Presence

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our community engagement and streamline communication, we’re excited to announce significant changes to our Telegram presence.

New Look and Bot Integration

  • Aesthetic Overhaul: Our Telegram group is getting a fresh, new look to match our evolving brand identity.
  • New Bot: We’re introducing a new bot to replace our current one, aiming to increase our traction on the Arbitrum chain.

Group Consolidation

  • Single Group Focus: We are consolidating our Telegram groups into one primary English group, along with a linked news channel. This change is designed to centralize information and foster a more unified community.
  • Evaluating Additional Groups: While we start with an English group, we’re open to the idea of creating groups for other languages, like Turkish, based on community interest and demand.

Team Changes: A New Chapter

  • Team Refresh: Our team is undergoing a significant refresh. From the original team, only PowerShell remains active and is appointed CEO.

These changes to our Telegram group and team composition are part of our commitment to adapt and grow. We believe that these updates will not only improve our communication channels but also bring in new ideas and energy to propel our project forward.
