ShapeShift DAO and ICHI are excited to announce the launch of $oneFOX, a stable asset backed by $FOX, for the ShapeShift community. It never made sense for different communities to govern the different features of money. $oneFOX will allow for more value to be retained within the $FOX economy. Instead of selling $FOX tokens for assets issued by other communities, ShapeShift DAO can use its own asset to conduct business or create dollar-denominated exposure/loans in decentralized finance.

TL;DR

  • ICHI has deployed a Decentralized Monetary Authority for the Shapeshift community including their own Branded Dollar: Stable Fox ($oneFOX)
  • ShapeShift DAO will loan 1.5M $FOX tokens to the $oneFOX treasury
  • Initial minting ratio will be set to 80% ($0.80 USDC + $0.20 FOX to mint 1 $oneFOX)
  • ICHI will provide 67k ICHI in rewards to $oneFOX deposits over 3 months ($320k value)
  • ShapeShift DAO to fund 50% of the cost of initial ICHI rewards ($160k). ICHI will use this entire amount to mint $oneFOX and hold it for a minimum of 12 months, increasing safety and enabling initial DeFi insurance.

After multiple community calls, two passed proposals, and an exceptional amount of feedback from the ShapeShift community, the ICHI DAO has launched Stable Fox’s DMA which enables the Branded Dollar to be capital efficient, collateralized, community governed, and yield bearing.

$oneFOX Governance

The ShapeShift DAO can perform any $oneFOX governance actions directly by passing a proposal, but a 4-of-6 multisignature scheme will be used for day-to-day operations. Two of the signers will be nominated from the ICHI DAO community, and four will be nominated from the ShapeShift DAO community. Here are the initial nominations:

  1. Joshf (ShapeShift DAO):
    0x5b8de63AFdeEdc64eb752623b49fc3A8Bd221245
  2. Tyler (ShapeShift DAO):
