Optimus

Optimus has set it’s main goal about a year ago, to help crypto projects and investors connect in a more efficient way, by creating innovative tools and making them accessible to the crypto world.Our ecosystem and variety of tools is constantly growing and being improved. We are aiming to complete as many new tools before the next bull run comes around, so that we will be primed to explode and become an industry standard!If you read our <a href="https://medium.com/&#64;optimus-ventures/the-optimus-liquidity-restructuring-is-coming-c6b2208d6d13" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">previous post</a>, where we outlined some of the roadmap milestones planned for 2023, you probably noticed the first one was a unique staking contract.But what can be so unique about a staking contract? First, lets briefly explain how normal staking works.Traditional staking, whether static or dynamic, is a way to reward token holders for various activities such as helping with blockchain transactions validation, serving as a node, or simply locking your tokens in a contract for set periods of time. The rewards are typically a percentage of the tokens you are holding in the staking contract or your wallet.However, there is a problem with staking, and that is the devaluation of the token as time goes on. The fact that more tokens are going into circulation can cause selling pressure which in return will drop the token value, hurting the investors that are still staking.But what if there was a way to reward long term investors and help protect them from token devaluation?<h2 id="header-0">Introducing… HODL Staking!</h2><img src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*V3bouk8rll4pt-hLN7gkuw.jpeg" />HODL staking is a unique staking contract that helps protect investors that HODL their tokens!<h2 id="header-1">How does it work?</h2>In order to understand HODL Staking lets take two projects, one running a regular staking contract with 10% APR (Token A) and the other running a HODL staking contract with a 10% initial APR (Token B).In both projects there are 100 investors, each investing 1000 tokens, and the project runs for 1 year.In project A the most an individual investor can earn is 100 A tokens (10%)Now lets see what happens in project B.When the admin of project B launches the HODL staking contract he deposits 10,000 B tokens in the contract (10% of the total 100k invested by investors)This is after he allowed investors to send their tokens to the HODL staking contract, and set a beginning and end time for deposits and for the duration of the contract.Now, after the deposit end time has come, the admin will officially launch the contract and the contract will go live.Now, lets say 1 month past and 15 investors decided to take their tokens out and get their reward. Since they waited one month they deserve 1/12 of the rewards.each investor will get 8.333 B tokens, which is 100 / 12.Now lets see what happens next. 15 investors took out a total 125 B tokens from the rewards pool (8.333 X 15), leaving it with 9875 B tokens.The number of remaining investors are 85 since 15 left.Their APR just jumped to 11.6%!9875 / 85 &#61; 116.176 B tokens are now assigned to each wallet holding 1000 B tokens, which is 11.6%.Now lets say another month past and 42 investors decided to take their tokens and cash out. since they waited 2 months, they deserve 1/6 of the rewards.each investor will get 19.362 B tokens (9875 tokens in rewards pool / 85 remaining investors / 6).A total of 813.23 were removed from the rewards pool leaving it with 9,061.76 B tokens.Now there are only 43 investors left still HODLing. This means their APR just jumped to 21%!9,061.76 / 43 &#61; 210.73 B tokens are now assigned to each wallet holding 1000 B tokens, which is 21% APR.In summary, with HODL staking the investor gets rewarded with higher APR every time someone else cashes out!As opposed to traditional staking where others cashing out can only hurt the Hodlers by devaluing the token, in HODL Staking the quicker investors cash out the higher the APR will be.This is a truly revolutionary way of looking at staking which values the loyal stakers of the project.Any EVM Project Can Use HODL StakingAs part of our strategy we will offer this tool to any EVM project looking to offer their investors a better way to stake their native token.Projects will have the ability to launch a HODL Staking contract using their own token or other tokens as rewards!For example, Optimus will have a HODL staking contract where stakers will stake $OPTCM and earn $OPTCM, but also contracts to stake $OPTCM and earn other tokens like $BNB and more..What To Expect?<ol><li>The HODL Staking contract was sent to a reputable auditing firm and should get fully audited in the next few weeks.</li><li>Once the audit is complete we will launch HODL staking campaigns for Optimus. Exact details of the campaigns will be shared before the launch.</li><li>Following the launch of the Optimus HODL Staking campaign we will launch campaigns for other projects as well. If you know of any project that could use the HODL Staking contract, make sure to share this post with them!</li></ol>Stay tuned for more updates. In the coming days we are planning on revealing some more exciting details about the HODL contract, and to show how easy it is to both launch your own HODL Staking contract or join existing ones.The Optimus TeamTG Group: <a href="https://t.me/optimus_ventures" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.me/optimus_ventures</a>TG Channel: <a href="https://t.me/optimus_announcements" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.me/optimus_announcements</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/OptimusVentures" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://twitter.com/OptimusVentures</a>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/OptimusVentures" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/c/OptimusVentures</a>
