Campaign Announcement

Secured Finance Trading Challenge

USDFC Integration Coming Soon!

1. Campaign Overview

Secured Finance is a fully on-chain DeFi platform preparing to launch a new stablecoin called USDFC. Once launched, it will be integrated into our Lending Market, which uses an order book for zero-coupon bonds. To gather real user feedback and suggestions before the full release of USDFC, we are hosting a special campaign in collaboration with Galxe.

During this campaign, participants can earn entries into multiple prize pools (Bronze / Silver / Gold) based on how many trades they complete. You can also accumulate Secured Finance Points (SFP) at the same time, which will lead to a Governance Token airdrop after TGE.

2. Campaign Details on Galxe

4. Key Points to Know Before You Trade

4.1 Zero-Coupon Bonds and How They Work

Secured Finance’s Lending Market uses zero-coupon bonds, which redeem at 100 upon maturity.

Example of Profit and Loss:

• If you buy (Lend) at 95 and hold until redemption (100), you earn a profit of 5.
• If you buy (Lend) at 95 and sold (unwind) at 92, you lose 3.

Though it’s technically a bond transaction, it works just like buying production or trading FX: buy low, sell (or redeem) high is the basic principle.

By making real trades, you can experience:

• The UI/UX
• Ease of placing and filling orders
• Any unclear points or areas for improvement

We value your feedback to fine-tune the lending platform before USDFC is fully integrated.

4.2 Fees & Risks

Trading Fee (Annualized at 1%)

• Example: If the bond has 50 days remaining and you trade 100 USDC, 100×0.01×(50/365) ≈ 0.14 USDC
  is the approximate fee.

Market Risk

• Even with zero-coupon bonds, there is price fluctuation at the time of trading, which can result in profit or loss.
• Please be aware of market risk and manage your funds responsibly.

5. Coming Soon: USDFC Launch and Lending Market Integration

Secured Finance will integrate the new stablecoin USDFC into its Lending Market, creating more use cases and opportunities. The insights gathered from this campaign will help us:

• Enhance protocol features
• Improve UI/UX
• Bolster market liquidity

Our goal is to ensure a smooth and user-friendly experience when the full-scale USDFC integration goes live.
