Bonfida offers various products including (1) an on-chain perpetual swap; (2) Solana name service for auctioning and transacting readable Solana addresses; and (3) Bonfida Bots which allow users to automate trading strategies and do copy-trading on Serum DEX. All three products and their revenues accrue value to the FIDA token.
FIDA is the native token of the platform, used for the following functions:
Value accrual: A percentage of fees generated from Bonfida products (Perpetual Swap, Name Services, Bonfida Bot) will be used to buy and burn FIDA.
Staking rewards: Users will receive FIDA as a reward by staking their FIDA tokens.
Fee discounts: Users can enjoy tiered discounts on platform fees for products such as perpetual swap and name services, based on the amount of FIDA held.
Governance: Token holders will be able to submit and vote on governance proposals to influence the platform development and treasury management. The governance function is expected to go live around Q1-Q2 2022.
The protocol consists of the following major components working in conjunction:
Perpetual swap: The Audaces Protocol is the first perpetual futures protocol built on Solana.
Name services: Solana name service provides a decentralized and affordable way to map domain names (.sol) to on-chain.
Bonfida bot: The service utilizes smart contracts to automate trading strategies and copy trading on top of Serum DEX, and supports TradingView features.
