Ichinomics
A oneToken's treasury can be used on any proposal passed by the holders of that oneToken. That said, it probably looks like this:
Farm ICHI stablecoin pools, earn ICHI,
Pair ICHI with treasury asset, provide to ICHI liquidity pools, earn more ICHI,
Invest in other protocols and in systems to drive adoption,
Provide better interest when saving, increasing oneToken adoption, and
Provide discounts when spending, increasing oneToken adoption
#3 is most interesting as the treasury can be used to solve the pains of specific crypto projects - more to come on this! But take a look at wing.finance’s reason for wanting a oneToken as an example.
#1-5 all grow treasuries and ICHI governance rewards (2% management, 20% performance) increase as treasuries grow. You must stake ICHI into the xICHI pool to get a share of these rewards.
FAQ
1.What is bumper crop farming? What happened to it?
The initial design included a bumper crop farming game designed to reward skill (not just proportional wealth). The goal was for ICHI to go viral based on the success of this game and to distribute 5 ICHI per block to game players and 5 ICHI per block based on proportional liquidity. While it worked, it was fantastic! However, after 3 days, irrigation bots started manipulating the system with Ethereum gas transactions in the thousands of dollars while selling ICHI into the market. The community voted to turn off bumper crop farming and slow down the ichi distribution rate.
2. How were you able to slow the ICHI distribution rate to active pools?
A new pool was created that is only farmed by the ICHI community treasury. 4.5 ICHI per block are currently being rewarded to this pool.
3. What are ICHI halvings?
An ICHI halving event is when the rewards for farming ICHI are cut in half. ICHI halvings happen when the ICHI community puts forward a proposal to have a halving and passes it.
4. Can the ICHI treasury be used on things other than farming?
Yes, the ICHI treasury can be used on any proposal passed by the ICHI community.
5. When does xICHI get paid ICHI? Can I see an APY?
These payments may be made by oneToken treasuries frequently or infrequently so an APY will only be available in hindsight. The best way to avoid missing a payment is to keep your ICHI staked in xICHI. As a bonus, this also makes your ICHI eligible for Ichipowah voting.
