DONUT

The Donut project is currently maintained by a pseudonymous individual or team. The original developer of the community point system is Carl Larson — a moderator on the /r/ethtrader subreddit and an early hobbyist Ethereum developer.

At some point, an internal development team at Reddit took an interest in the project, but it remains unclear to what extent Reddit’s R&D team had in its further development.

Beyond Carl Larson, there is currently no clear indication of who else had a role in the success of the project — other than an individual Reddit user by the name of “Shouldbdan,” who has been instrumental in the continued success and growth of Donut, and is responsible for creating the bridge between Donut points and Donut ERC-20 tokens.

Donuts initially exist as a simple community point token on the /r/ethtrader subreddit, but can also be converted into an ERC-20 token for moving and spending the token outside of the platform — such as for trading it on an exchange for other cryptocurrencies.

It is the first subreddit community point to launch on the Ethereum mainnet. As of February 2021, the cryptocurrency token for the /r/cryptocurrency subreddit — “Moon” remains on the Ethereum Rinkeby test network with no clear mainnet launch schedule.

The project is backed by a decentralized autonomous organization powered by Aragon, which is used for minting Donut tokens and governing the project. It has also grown to become a revenue stream for some users, who are able to earn substantial amounts of Donut by producing popular content on the Ethtrader subreddit.

Ethtrader’s Donut points originally launched with a 100 million token supply in 2018, but this has since increased to just over 120.3 million in February 2021.

\ Prior to June 2020, a further 2 million Donuts points were issued each week, but this has since been cut to 1 million points per week. Out of this new supply, 85% is distributed to users based on their Ethtrader contributions, 10% goes to the community fund, and 5% goes to the subreddit moderators.

A fresh batch of donuts is baked every four weeks — allowing Ethtrader users to redeem their points for actual ERC-20 Donut tokens. Tokens that are spent on Ethtrader badges, membership and the top subreddit banner are burned, removing them from the supply and reducing the overall Donut supply.

As an ERC-20 token, Donut is secured by an elaborate network of Ethereum miners that work in concert to ensure transactions are finalized quickly and irreversibly.

Together, these use a novel mechanism known as proof-of-work (POW) to solve complex mathematical equations and create new blocks to fill with transactions. The amount of energy, cost and difficulty of solving these equations makes it extraordinarily unlikely that the Ethereum network could ever be successfully attacked.

As of February 2021, Donut isn't listed on any centralized exchange platforms. However, it is available on a handful of popular decentralized exchanges (DEXs), including Uniswap, 1inch Exchange and 0x Protocol. The most popular trading pairs for Donut are DONUT/WETH, DONUT/ETH, and DONUT/DAI.
