At a high level, Solbank consists of its treasury, protocol owned liquidity, farming, bond mechanism and staking which is designed to control supply expansion. Bonding generates profit for the protocol, staking mints and distribute $SB to stakers. Farming enables earning passive income for other token holders and generate revenue for the protocol. With LP bond, the protocol is able to accumulate liquidity to ensure the system stability.
(🏦, 🏦) is the idea that, if everyone cooperated in Solbank, it would generate the greatest gain for everyone (from a game theory standpoint). Currently, there are three actions a user can take:
Staking
Bonding
Selling
Staking and bonding are considered beneficiary to the protocol, while selling is considered detrimental. Staking and selling will also cause a price move, while bonding does not (we consider buying SB from the market as a prerequisite of staking, thus causing a price move). If both actions are beneficiary, the actor who moves price also gets half of the benefit (+💸). If both actions are contradictory, the bad actor who moves price gets half of the benefit (+💸), while the good actor who moves price gets half of the downside (❌). If both actions are detrimental, which implies both actors are selling, they both get the worst possible outcome (❌)!
Thus, given two actors, all scenarios of what they could do and the effect on the protocol are shown here:
If we both stake (🏦, 🏦), it is the best thing for both of us and the protocol (both users gets the bank).
If one of us stakes and the other one bonds, it is also great because staking takes SB off the market and put it into the protocol, while bonding provides liquidity and SOL for the treasury!
When one of us sells, it diminishes effort of the other one who stakes or bonds.
When we both sell, it creates the worst outcome for both of us and the protocol (❌, ❌)
If the prior explanation/visualisation did not sufficiently convey it to you, here is an additional version based on numbers.
(3,3) is the idea that, if everyone cooperated in Solbank, it would generate the greatest gain for everyone (from a game theory standpoint). Currently, there are three actions a user can take:
Staking (+2)
Bonding (+1)
Selling (-2)
Staking and bonding are considered beneficial to the protocol, while selling is considered detrimental. Staking and selling will also cause a price move, while bonding does not (we consider buying SB from the market as a prerequisite of staking, thus causing a price move). If both actions are beneficial, the actor who moves price also gets half of the benefit (+1). If both actions are contradictory, the bad actor who moves price gets half of the benefit (+1), while the good actor who moves price gets half of the downside (-1). If both actions are detrimental, which implies both actors are selling, they both get half of the downside (-1). Thus, given two actors, all scenarios of what they could do and the effect on the protocol are shown here:
If we both stake (3, 3), it is the best thing for both of us and the protocol (3 + 3 = 6).
If one of us stakes and the other one bonds, it is also great because staking takes SB off the market and put it into the protocol, while bonding provides liquidity and SOL for the treasury (3 + 1 = 4).
When one of us sells, it diminishes effort of the other one who stakes or bonds (1 - 1 = 0).
When we both sell, it creates the worst outcome for both of us and the protocol (-3 - 3 = -6).
Weekly ROI (Return on Investment) is a measure of how much profit you've made on an investment over the course of one week, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment.
It helps you understand how well your investment performed in that short time frame.
There is no clear answer for this, but the intrinsic value will be determined by the treasury performance.
No. Once you have staked SB with Solbank, your staked SB balance will auto-compound every 8 hours. That increase in balance represents your rebase rewards.
To follow your rebase rewards, navigate to the Solbank dApp, connect your Phantom or Solflare wallet, and select the Stake tab.
Farming allows you to deposit your tokens in our designated pools. In return, you'll earn additional rewards based on your deposited amount. wROI (weekly return on investment) up to 1.48% and beyond is designed to incentivize participation, attract users, and increase liquidity, ultimately bolstering the entire ecosystem by stabilizing prices and fostering long-term holding.
All collected fees are directed to the Solbank Treasury, which is secured by a multi-signature (multi-sig) wallet, a robust security mechanism requiring multiple approvals for any transaction. The total revenue generated is transparently displayed on our dashboard.
Beyond covering operational costs and revenue sharing, we strategically reinvest collected fees to fuel platform growth, enhance stability, and maintain revenue retention. This includes gaining exposure to the potential upside of underlying meme coins acquired through fees.
No, both the fees collected and the rewards earned through farming and staking are immediately available for use or withdrawal. However, the minimum required amount of farming rewards to claim is 0.01 SB.
The $SB tokens you earn are entirely yours to manage. You have the flexibility to hold them, trade them on exchanges, or stake them on Solbank to earn additional $SB at an attractive APY.
During our initial bootstrapping phase, we offer weekly ROIs (up to 2.12% and beyond for staking SB token and up to 1.48% and beyond for tokens farming) to attract early adopters and build liquidity. Once the SB supply reaches its cap, we'll transition to a model based on real yield and revenue sharing, ensuring the platform's long-term growth and stability.
We have implemented several strategies to support the $SB token price:
Desynchronized Rebase Concept (DRC): Reduces selling pressure on the market.
Smart Bond Issuance: Controls token supply and mitigates dilution risks.
Strategic APY Adjustments: Attracts investment and maintains healthy liquidity levels.
Capped Supply: Ensures a controlled expansion of the token supply.
Protocol Owned Liquidity (POL): Maintains consistent exit liquidity for token holders.
Treasury Investments: Utilizes profits and revenue-sharing streams to bolster the treasury.
Over-The-Counter (OTC) Trading: Facilitates large transactions with minimal market impact.
We employ multiple layers of security, including utilizing Squads treasury management for robust fund protection, active backend monitoring by our development team, and continuous feedback from our community to identify and address any potential vulnerabilities.
While our contracts have not undergone formal third-party audits, Solbank is an entirely in-house developed product built from the ground up with meticulous attention to security best practices. Additionally, our dapp is whitelisted by Blowfish via Phantom, signifying a degree of trust and security within the ecosystem.
For personal and professional reasons, our team members choose to remain anonymous. However, our extensive experience in traditional finance and financial technologies ensures we prioritize compliance and adhere to regulatory frameworks while driving innovation in the DeFi space.
Our team possesses a wealth of experience in traditional finance and cutting-edge financial technologies. This diverse background equips us with the knowledge and expertise necessary to build a robust, secure, and compliant DeFi platform.
No, there are no fees for staking, unstaking, or claiming $SB rewards. The only fees incurred are for depositing into or withdrawing from the farming pools.
We employ Squads treasury management to safeguard staked assets and the platform's $SB pool. While no system is entirely invulnerable, our development team is vigilant in monitoring for potential vulnerabilities and continuously updates the platform to maintain high security standards.
All funds within the liquidity pools and the treasury are secured behind a multi-sig wallet, which requires the approval of 3 out of 5 designated signatories to authorize any transaction. This multi-sig structure prevents a single point of failure and ensures that no individual can act unilaterally.
There are no lockup periods for $SB tokens earned through farming or staking. You have the freedom to sell them immediately if you choose. However, tokens acquired through bonding are subject to a linear vesting period of 5 days and early withdrawals (before 90 days period is over) from the HODL have applied 50% penelty on unstake.
No, selling your $SB tokens does not affect your ability to participate in future staking activities on the platform. You are free to stake and unstake your tokens as often as you like.
We have taken proactive measures to ensure wallet stability and adhere to regulatory compliance standards. By following established best practices and maintaining anonymity, we minimize potential risks and prioritize the security of user funds.
We offer a variety of meme / DeFi / AI tokens available for farming on Solbank. Please visit our platform to see the current selection and their respective wROIs.
