Shouldn’t your NFT do more than JUST be a provably scarce digital collectible? What if your NFT could Boost your yield on interest earned and unlock additional community benefits?

It’s time to demand more functionality from your NFTs.

The Charged Particles Protocol enables any NFT to be “Energized” and transformed into a basket containing other ERC-20 tokens, even other NFTs.

The Energized NFT’s can be used as on-chain savings bonds, asset collateralization, or as gaming items where, for instance, you can have an “on-chain” battle and interest from one Energized NFT can be discharged and won without touching the principal asset.

The amount can be time-locked inside the NFT, and through an integration with Aave’s aTokens, programmable yield from these DeFi yield-generating assets is just a few clicks away.

The sky is the limit as this technology provides the infrastructure for the future of NFT finance.

Today, 17-Feb-2021, in addition to the official launch of the protocol and first DApp, we are releasing a revolutionary concept in limited supply called LEPTON NFTs.

LEPTON NFTs are rare limited NFT Cards…..that come with additional functionality: Boosted Yield Farming Rewards.

About LEPTON NFTs

LEPTON NFTs are digitally scarce, ERC-721 that have superpowers.

Once activated, LEPTON NFTs act as a rewards multiplier / booster, giving its owner additional rewards earned when the Charged Particles Governance Token liquidity mining goes live.

LEPTON NFTs enable its owner to earn up to 3.1x the normal rewards during liquidity mining distribution (TBA) and there is no cap to the additional rewards earned with LEPTON NFTs.

Each LEPTON is a standard ERC-721, non-custodial NFT that is able to be resold on popular secondary markets like OpenSea.

LEPTON NFT SALE

There are 6 types of LEPTON NFTs for sale, and only a total of 1733 LEPTONs available.

LEPTONs are available today, starting at 14:30 PST on 17-Feb-20. Here: https://app.charged.fi/go/leptons/

There are 6 different tiers of LEPTONs available, starting at 0.3 ETH with a 1.1x multiplier and going up to a 3.1x multiplier.

There are a total of 1733 LEPTONs in existence and no more will ever be minted.

The proceeds from the LEPTON Sale will go to the Charged Particles Community DAO Treasury. These DAO funds will be deployed to support the protocol’s growth via voting with the governance token.

Charged Particles Governance Token: Liquidity Mining

At Charged Particles, we believe in Progressive Decentralization and will launch our governance token in the future.

When launched, the majority of the Charged Particles governance tokens’ allocation will be allocated to the community and will be distributed via liquidity mining / yield farming programs to help encourage use of the Charged Particles platform.

We envision a world where key Charged Particles Protocol decisions are decided by its governance token holders, and these governance token holders vote to control various core functionalities of the protocol.

The details on the Liquidity Mining Program as well as the Charged Particles Protocol Governance token will be announced at a later date. There currently is no governance token for Charged Particles and we will announce more information before the launch — Please beware of scams.

To be clear, you don’t need a LEPTON NFT to participate in liquidity mining programs, but if you own one you will receive boosted rewards. These boosted rewards by LEPTON NFT holders have no limit, you will earn boosted rewards as long as you’re holding the NFT.
