1. Tokenomics Redesign Announced

Dear Algebros,

We’ve prepared the details of yesterday’s announcement about the upcoming Tokenomics redesign.

WHY?

The Algebra ecosystem is growing day by day, with over 60 partners & counting.

However, the previous tokenomics was designed for a decentralized exchange, a concept now in the past. Furthermore, in 2024, Algebra is set to become a multi-chain ecosystem.

The plan involves the Integral expansion with more DEXes, the launch of a Plugin Marketplace for DeFi builders & then an Algebra Liquidity Layer, representing a significant milestone for us.

All of these changes and developments should naturally be reflected in our tokenomics.

WHEN?

The Tokenomics redesign will span several months. During this period, $ALGB will continue its operation.

WHAT’S UP WITH $ALGB?

No changes until the new tokenomics release. The value of ALGB will transition to the new tokenomics.

Our holders can also expect the following:

1) Buybacks & Burns will continue

2) We will increase our burns rate using the treasury tokens on a weekly basis.

3) ALGB is planned to be wrapped on the chains of our partnering DEXes.

4) We plan to introduce farming opportunities with one of our partners.

We will keep you with the new tokenomics development. We take the creation process of tokenomics extremely seriously & plan to bring in experts in the field to develop the right tokenomics, reflecting all the successes of our product.

FAQ for an even clearer idea:

1. Why can’t $ALGB serve as the foundation for new tokenomics?

We want our products (current and future) to be natively connected with the platform token & reflected in token functionalities.

2. What will happen to the treasury fund and liquidity mining tokens?

We don’t see any use at the moment, we’ll start burning them soon.

3. How long will it take before we witness specific actions with tokenomics?

A few months.

4. Will $ALGB holders be rewarded upon the release of the new tokenomics?

The value of ALGB will transition to the new tokenomics. We are considering the following possibilities: airdrop, conversion, or others, upon the possible introduction of the new token, as we explore opportunities to reward our holders.

5. Will $ALGB still accumulate fees from the V3 DEXes?

Yes, including all new V3 collaborations. BBQ will continue, as well as planned new farming on another network.

2. The Fees’ Impact on AMMs & LPs Revenue Study

We carried out a large-scale study about fees’ impact on AMMs’ and LPs’ revenue! Explore Algebra’s latest research, analyzing market conditions, blockchain features, and fee structures. Discover different fee management approaches, including dynamic fees, elastic fees, fixed fees, and more, shaping the future of AMM development.

3. The BNB Hackathon’s Workshop: Algebra x THENA x Gamma

We joined the BNB Hackathon Workshop, and our session on Algebra Integral Plugins was a blast! We delved into the tech implementation and its impact on THENA’s development.

Check out the recap and catch the exciting discussion with THENA and Gamma Strategies. Plus, there’s still a chance to share the $20K prize pool, co-sponsored by us, for groundbreaking ideas and see your Plugin deployed on THENA’s future V4 infrastructure, powered by Integral!
