Tectonic cena 

TONIC

Tectonic is composed of three core modules within the protocol: an interest rate mechanism, a liquidation module, and a community insurance module.

The interest rate mechanism adapts a variable interest rate model similar to that of money market protocols like Compound. Interest rates are algorithmically determined based on the utilization rate and supply and demand in the lending pools. The Tectonic team sets interest rates and other parameters at the beginning of a lending pool, with rates being divided into two stages. Before a threshold of high utilization is reached, interest rates follow a linear curve. After, rates are set according to an upward-sloping curve to reflect the increased demand for liquidity.

The liquidation module liquidates its undercollateralized borrowing position and offers a liquidation discount to liquidators to incentivize keeping the system stable. Before a predetermined amount of liquidators is reached, the core team will also act as one of the liquidators. Later, a governance vote will decide if the core team will be removed from its liquidator position.

The community insurance module is set to go live in the first quarter of 2022 and is to act as a mitigation tool in case of a so-called shortfall event. Tectonic defines this as an event that can harm the protocol’s health, such as smart contract risk, liquidation risk, or oracle failure risk. Users can stake their TONIC and receive stTONIC in return to safeguard the protocol. However, in a shortfall event, their stake may be slashed as the funds are used to mitigate the damage caused. Stakers will also be able to lock their positions for a minimum of 90 days and accrue a share of swap fees from the protocol.

Tectonic is powered by TONIC, its native governance and utility token. TONIC holders can stake the token to secure the protocol through its community insurance module and use it to vote on governance proposals after Tectonic has transitioned to a DAO model. Token holders can submit and vote on proposals or delegate votes for proposals following the governance guidelines.

The total supply of TONIC is 500 trillion according to the following token distribution:

• Community (50.9%): participation incentives and liquidity mining / staking rewards
• Team (23%): according to a 48-month vesting schedule.
• Ecosystem reserve (13%): for ecosystem partner collaboration, advisors, and other community initiatives in the future
• Network security (13%): for security audits, protocol operations, infrastructure upgrades, protocol liquidity, listing requirements, and other.

TONIC is available on Crypto.com Exchange and Hotbit.
