The fall and rise of Staking and DeFi
Decentralized finance is the primary application of what blockchain and Bitcoin were originally designed for. Whilst Bitcoin introduced the world to decentralized currency, it was later the Ethereum blockchain that turned the dream into a reality, combining cryptocurrency with the proper infrastructure on which real-world applications could be developed.‘It all happened due to greed, centralization and tokenomics that relied on never-ending demand.’
Wise Token is a Breakthrough
By definition, unlike conventional financial institutions, decentralised finance is all about blockchain-based smart contracts that eliminate the centralized approach to the provision of financial products. Think bonds, lending, borrowing and time-based interest-centered instruments.This is where Wise steps in…
WISE at glance:
- Backed by ownerless and non-removable ETH liquidity pool
- Unbreakable price floor of $0.08 (valued in ETH)
- Penalizes stakers who cancel their stakes before the maturity date and distributes these fees to other stakeholders
- 88% of WISE is staked
- No Wise tokens were allocated to the team, founder, or VIPs.
- Liquidity pool admin keys have been transparently burnt
Wise meets Binance Smart Chain
The WiseSoft team has already proven that they are on the right path. At the time of writing, the initial WISE (WISE-ETH) liquidity pool is 88% staked, which serves as a great display of integrity the holders have towards the WISE ecosystem. This time though, (BSC) and Pancakeswap. The 15-day Liquidity Transformer Event is in line with WiseSoft’s previous achievements. All token holders that manage to grab a share of the liquidity pool during the presale will be able to use Wise (BNB Wise ticker: WISB) to:- Store value (backed by non-removable pool of BNB on Pancakeswap)
- Stake in one of WiseSoft’s high yield programs (comes with dynamic price floor)
- Provide liquidity to partner DEXs and Wise reserve pools, earning interest from WISB ecosystem profits
- Make transaction just like with any other ERC-20 token
- Utilize WiseSoft’s upcoming collateral staking and lending product
DeFi done right
Conventional banking and financial markets have long been imprinted in the minds of the public and investors as the only place where one’s capital can earn interest. Then came cryptocurrency, and just like any new product, turned many early adopters into overnight millionaires. Today, the cryptocurrency market has become mature and with integrations like , it is as ready as ever to take on the conventional interest-generating financial products. Added bonus? It becomes incredibly safe and flexible in terms of its offering.‘BNB backed liquidity pool’
Adding to what has already been implemented, Q3 of 2021 will see WiseSoft’s introduction of a new fully decentralized smart contract. It will allow Wise holders to participate in borrowing and lending of practically any crypto found on a decentralized exchange (DEX) but with a key differentiator of requiring no human intervention and the need for centralized price oracles. According to Peter Girr, the CEO of WiseSoft, it is one of many major developments that the team is set to reveal this year. So there you have it! The market seems to finally have a staking service provider that not only offers a secure and logically viable method of staking, but also flexibility in what you can do with your investment. Whether it is simple staking or exploring the Wise ecosystem, the presence of a price floor and an ownerless liquidity pool of BNB finally provides peace of mind to those looking for a long-term investment. Is there a further evolution to DeFi beyond the Wise ecosystem? We find it hard to tell. But given the value it is about to add to DeFi, Wise has unquestionably built a solid foundation.
