Beta Finance price

BETA

#705

Beta Finance identified the significant volatility characteristic of crypto as harmful to the adoption of DeFi by individuals and institutions. It sees short-selling as a critical financial tool that is missing in the DeFi ecosystem, which facilitates market stability and efficiency. Users can conveniently do so with the platform’s “1-Click Short” tool. A simple click of a button suffices to select the DEX to swap through and stake the newly swapped collateral with the principal in the short position.

Beta Finance follows an isolated collateral model to support more volatile assets, meaning a collateralized position at risk of liquidation does not endanger another position. Initially, Beta Finance supports ETH, USDC, USDT and DAI as valid collateral, with the community able to propose and vote for additional collateral support in Phase 2. Collaterals are subject to various collateral factors: stablecoins have a collateral factor of 90%, while ETH has a collateral factor of 80%.

Assets are subject to different asset tiers. Safe assets like stablecoins have a loan-to-value ratio of 75%, while more volatile assets only have a 50% ratio. The most volatile assets like meme coins only have a 20% LTV. The isolated collateral model means tighter fund security for users, meaning assets are safe even if Beta has a market with a compromised asset.

The total supply of BETA is 1 billion tokens. BETA follows the following token allocation:

Binance Launchpad Sale - 5%

Seed Sale - 10%

Strategic Sale - 5%

Alpha Finance Launchpad - 5%

Team - 20%

Ecosystem - 35%

Liquidity Mining 20%

• 6.76% Marketing
• 10.13% Team
• 63.53% Development
• 19.57% Operation

Beta Finance will launch on Oct. 8, 2021 on Binance Launchpad at an initial token price of $0.06.

BETA is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and BEP-20 token on BSC. The security framework consists of four major pillars:

1. Beta Finance continuously conducts internal code reviews
2. The platform will request external reviews from leading security researchers
3. It will incorporate real-time monitoring services
4. Beta Finance will launch a bug bounty campaign for white hats

Furthermore, funds are stored with cold storage multi-signature wallets and USD bank accounts. Any movement of funds requires the approval of at least 3 out of the 5 executives and advisors of Beta Finance. Beta Finance has been audited by OpenZeppelin and PeckShield.

ERC-20 is a token standard most new tokens follow when publishing on the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is one of the most popular blockchains and the go-to solution for many decentralized applications and exchanges to launch on. It is secured by a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism that requires validators to stake 32 ETH. A set of decentralized nodes validates transactions and secures the Ethereum blockchain.
