Today I’d like to explore token value capture, and present the case that the $ALPHR token is best in class.

The $ALPHR token is a governance token that entitles all $ALPHR holders to governance rights over the protocol and community development fund (20% of the token supply). In addition to this, the value of the transaction fees are captured by the token holders.

All transaction fees generated by the Alphr platform are dispersed to the $ALPHR token holders:

  • 75% of the protocol fees will be utilized to remunerate Alphr users providing liquidity on Uniswap for the ALPHR — ETH pair in exchange for the service they are providing to the protocol and Alphr ecosystem.
  • 25% of fees are transferred to the token holder controlled community development fund

What does this mean in practice?

Recently there has been much discussion around productive and non productive assets and the potential fundamental value of the former. Many DeFi governance tokens are classed as productive assets, but how much value generated by DeFi protocol revenue actually passes to token holders?

Let’s explore:

Alphr by design, due to the fact it’s built on top of DEXs does not need to share fees with Liquidity providers. This enables the protocol to distribute all revenue back to token holders.

Below is a table that shows the projected Alphr protocol revenue based on capturing 1–5% of daily DEX volumes (all chains).

Now the question is how much of the DEX volume can a social trading platform with automated mirror trading capture?

Until next time Sers.
