Get Paid to HODL Crypto: DEFHOLD Comprehensive Review

Published

4 years ago

on

Have you ever thought of saving crypto? Well, this is almost impossible thanks to market volatility characterized by market dumps. While the DeFi sector is rapidly expanding, speculative investors easily liquidate their holdings, causing a rapid sell-off. This leads to a rapid decrease in the value of a DeFi project. DefHold attempts to streamline the DeFi sector by solving inflation and providing incentives to speculative traders to hold cryptocurrencies during market dumps and consequently generate yields on the underlying assets.

DefHold achieves this by implementing new autonomous yield generating solutions. Here’s a comprehensive review of the first non-inflationary staking and farming system designed to reward long-term holders.

DEFHOLD Overview

DefHold describes itself as a non-inflationary DeFi ecosystem that seeks to offer yield generating investments’ strategies to long-term crypto holders. Currently, a conventional means of securing assets during market dumps and pumps is to convert assets to stable coins. The stable coins can thereafter be staked or farmed into various DeFi protocols generating yields on the underlying asset.

But this means of securing assets during markets’ dump and pump has the undergoing of price drop leading to losses. DefHold seeks to reward long-term crypto investors with accurate portfolios and own liquidity’s management by implementing new autonomous yields generating solutions. In the future, the platform will also launch a fully decentralized governance system allowing users to make crucial decisions regarding the project’s future developments and vote on essential network upgrades such as different lock-up periods, transfer fees, vote to launch new tokens, etc.

DEFHOLD Pays You to HODL

DefHold’s innovative non-inflationary staking and farming system pays you to HODL your tokens. The DEFHOLD ecosystem encompasses multiple yields generating mechanisms that compensate investors for holding tokens during a market dump or pump. This offers investors access to multiple revenue streams, i.e., yield-generating investments, without having large capitals.

Unlike most DeFi platforms, which leverage a business model that depends on inflationary tokens, DefHold combats inflation with the capping of DEFO tokens at 12,000 DEFO. The protocol isn’t planning to issue any additional tokens to prevent inflation by ensuring scarcity.

DeFi platforms that employ a business model and issue more tokens often mint these tokens to enhance their APY (Annual Percentage Yield). However, this strategy exposes the market to multiple threats, which could lead to its failure. Also, the value of tokens in circulation always drops in value once a DeFi platform releases additional tokens to the market. Enhanced token inflation coupled with speculative investors’ impulsive actions causes a myriad of problems such as runoff sales that lower the value of a DeFi project.

About DEFO-The Non-Inflationary Yield Generator

DEFO is the DefHold ecosystem’s native token, enabling holders to stake or farm their assets into pools with different predefined lock-up periods. However, investors (farmers and stakers) can still be able to withdraw their assets before the term of the lock-up period at any time by paying an early withdrawal fee (EWF).

DefHold will employ various revenue streams to reward stakers and farmers who have accurately managed their portfolios and their own liquidity requirements. The first revenue stream will be the early withdrawal fee (EWF) charged when stakers and farmers withdraw their assets before the asset lock-up period expiry. The EWF funds are collected then split up among the remaining members.

The second yield generating mechanism is transfer fees. The platform will charge a small transfer fee on every DEFO token’s transfers. The collected fees will then be split proportionally among stakers and farmers.

These 2 revenue-generating mechanisms will continuously generate yields to stakers and farmers in a non-inflationary way. Unlike other DeFi platforms that leverage inflationary tokens to enhance their APY, DefHold will not produce additional DEFO tokens, in turn keeping their supply low. By channeling revenue to the farmers and stakers, DefHold ensures that investors hold on to the investment strategy even during a market dump. 

Revenue Allocation

As mentioned above, DefHold will have two different revenue streams to be shared between the stakers and farmers, i.e. (EWF + Transfer fee). These revenues will be allocated as below:

EWF revenues allocation:

5%: to developer fund

 95%: to stakers/farmers according to their share of their respective pool

 Transfer fee revenues’ allocation:

5%: to developer fund

 40%: to stakers (equally shared between all the staking pools)

 55%: to farmers (equally shared between all the farming pools)

DEFO Staking & Farming

DEFO token powers the DefHold ecosystem. The token has several use cases in the ecosystem. The primary use case is a staking or farming token where users farm/stake their assets in pools with pre-defined lock-up periods using the token. Currently, DefHold users can stake DEFO tokens or farm DEFO/ETH& DEFO/USDT LP tokens. In the future, DefHold seeks to add additional token pools depending on the community proposal.  

The non-inflationary staking & farming pools are as below.

Staking Pools

Pools Lock-up Period EWF
1st Pool 10 days 1% of staked DEFO
2nd Pool 30 days 3.5% of staked DEFO
3rd Pool 60 days 8.2% of staked DEFO
4th Pool 90 days 14.3% of staked DEFO
5th Pool 180 days 33.33% of staked DEFO

 

Farming Pools

Pools Lock-Up Period EWF
1st Pool 10 days 2% of farmed LP tokens
2nd Pool 30 days 7% of farmed LP tokens
3rd Pool 60 days 16.3% of farmed LP tokens
4th Pool 90 days 28.6% of farmed LP tokens
5th Pool 180 days 66.6% of farmed LP tokens

 

How Will DefHold Enhance Liquidity

Liquidity has turned out to be vital for DeFi platforms, especially after the entrance of decentralized exchanges (DEX). To enhance liquidity, DefHold implements two primary mechanisms listed below.

  • EWF and transfer fee revenues are distributed mostly to farmers to enhance their revenues and incentivize them to offer liquidity to the DefHold ecosystem.
  • The platform will conduct a presale using the Liquidity Dividends Protocol (LID). In the sale, 75% of the raised ETH will be allocated to Uniswap liquidity and locked by the smart contracts. This will protect investors against dumping and exit scams.

Closing Words

To conclude, DefHold is a non-inflationary DeFi ecosystem which will transform the DeFi space by providing yield generating investments’ strategies to long-term crypto holders. The platform will surely solve inflation and the problem of impulsive speculative investors who are easy to spook, causing a drop in the value of DeFi projects.

How Bitcoin’s price rise has increased the number of cryptocurrency payments

NOWPayments Announces Significant Gain in Crypto Payments

NOWPayments, a leading crypto payment gateway, is excited to announce the significaте Increase of Crypto Payments since the beginning of November. 

Why Bitcoin took a new ATH in November?

Starting in January 2024, Bitcoin’s price was around $48,717, marking a period of cautious optimism following a tumultuous 2023. Throughout the first half of the year, Bitcoin experienced significant fluctuations as market dynamics shifted, driven by regulatory developments and increased institutional interest. By November 2024, Bitcoin had reached a pivotal moment, hitting an all-time high (ATH) of $75,000 on November 8 and then surging to $89,000 shortly thereafter.

This remarkable growth didn’t go unnoticed by the business world. Companies across various industries quickly recognized the massive business opportunity Bitcoin presented. The ATH sent a clear message: Bitcoin was no longer just a speculative asset but a powerful tool for transactions, store of value, and an entry point into the broader crypto economy.

Businesses’ interest in Bitcoin grew for several reasons:

  • Increased Institutional Adoption: Major financial institutions rolled out Bitcoin-based services, providing legitimacy and opening doors for mainstream use.
  • Global Payment Integration: Bitcoin’s borderless nature appealed to businesses seeking efficient, low-cost cross-border transactions, particularly as inflation and currency instability impacted traditional fiat systems.
  • Hedge Against Inflation: As global economies faced ongoing inflationary pressures, Bitcoin became a preferred asset for protecting wealth, especially for businesses looking to diversify holdings.

Climbing to $75K

The journey to $75,000 began with a series of positive developments in the cryptocurrency market. Following the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETFs and increased institutional buying, Bitcoin’s price steadily climbed. On November 7, 2024, Bitcoin reached approximately $76,999 before closing at around $75,820. This surge was fueled by a bullish market sentiment as investors reacted positively to the election results and anticipated regulatory clarity under Trump’s administration.

Breaking Through $80K

Following its initial surge to $75K, Bitcoin quickly surpassed the $80,000 mark on November 10, 2024. The momentum continued as traders rushed to capitalize on the positive sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency. By this point, BTC was trading at approximately $80,976, reflecting an increase of nearly 9.64% from the previous day.

Approaching a New BTC All Time High at $90K

As of November 12, 2024, Bitcoin’s price soared to around $89,000. This represents a staggering increase within just a few days following the election and highlights the cryptocurrency’s volatility and potential for rapid gains. The combination of strong demand from both retail and institutional investors has driven BTC prices higher as they anticipate further growth.

How has the new ATH for BTC led to an increase in crypto payments?

We decided to analyse how the rise in the price of the main cryptocurrency – BTC affected the number of payments. NOWPayments team took the number of payments before the U.S. election and compared it with the data after the Trump has won. The result exceeded all expectations. Thanks to the growth of BTC from $72,729.89 to $90,750.94, the number of payments increased by as much as 8%. This significant change indicates the increased interest in cryptocurrency and the correlation of BTC price and cryptocurrency usage.

  1. Correlation Between BTC Price and Crypto Payments:

The 8% increase in the number of payments demonstrates a clear correlation between Bitcoin’s price growth and the rising adoption of cryptocurrency for transactions. As BTC’s value surged, so did user engagement with crypto payments.

  1. Increased Interest in Cryptocurrency:

The significant rise in payments highlights growing public and business interest in cryptocurrencies as a viable payment method, especially during moments of market optimism fueled by events like the U.S. election.

  1. Market Events Drive Crypto Adoption:

The post-election Bitcoin rally, combined with its ATH, underscores how political and economic events can directly impact crypto adoption, encouraging more users to explore cryptocurrency as both an investment and a practical payment tool.

Digital Assets Underinsured: Report Identifies $19 Billion Coverage Deficit, Less Than 3% Secured

Published

November 18, 2024

By

A recent report, Furthering Digital Assets 2024: Pioneering Insurance Solutions for the Web3 Era, highlights a substantial coverage gap in digital asset insurance, revealing that only 3% of digital assets are currently insured. This gap leaves billions at risk, with an estimated $19 billion in losses from fraud and security breaches since 2011.

The report emphasizes significant incidents that illustrate the vulnerability in the sector. These include a $650 million breach at Ronin in March 2022 and a $614 million loss from PolyNetwork in August 2021. As investments in digital assets increase, so does the call for comprehensive risk management solutions, particularly from institutional stakeholders.

With more than 90% of crypto hedge funds expressing a desire for mandatory insurance on exchange-based assets and around 40% of institutional investors now holding cryptocurrency, the demand for tailored insurance products is clear. Further Ventures, the report’s creator, points to a growing interest from institutions seeking ways to protect their digital assets through robust insurance policies.

The report also sheds light on recent regulatory responses. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), for example, has set mandates for digital asset custodians, requiring 50% insurance coverage on cold storage and 100% on hot wallets. Despite these initiatives, high premiums remain a challenge, with average rates around 0.5%-5% for custody insurance and 5-10% for slashing events and Directors & Officers (D&O) policies.

According to the report, addressing the insurance gap in the digital assets industry will likely require innovation in policy structure, more accessible premium rates, and a regulatory environment that supports the development of effective, comprehensive solutions. As the sector evolves, insurance options may play a critical role in fostering institutional confidence and broader adoption of digital assets.
