### What Is Protocon (PEN)?

**Protocon** is short for **Protocol Economy Network**, a web 3.0-based Layer 1 public blockchain Platform.
The goal is to establish a protocol-based economic system that can provide blockchain that is free to anyone and has no boundaries to anyone.

For this purpose, the platform provides  1) up to 5,000 tps of decentralized algorithms, 2) Contract Models that modularize various blockchain functions such as tokens, NFT, data management, DID, and voting functions, 3) FeeFi that solves complex and difficult blockchain fees and provide automatic fee swap & staking features,  4) various mainnet bridges that can interact with the entire blockchain ecosystems.

#### PEN is the native utility token that is used for:
**Means of Payment (transaction fees)**
The PEN token functions as a kind of ‘gas’ within the Protocon ecosystem, as a means of payment for mainnet transaction fees, such as using dApp services or transferring dApp tokens.
**Means of Payment (Purchasing dApp tokens)**
PEN tokens function as a payment method for purchasing dApp tokens for individual dApps based on Protocon blockchain, including BlockSign and Blockcity, which will be released in the future.
**Deposit for FeeFi participation**
PEN token holders can become FeeFi liquidity providers by depositing more than a certain level of PEN tokens. In return, liquidity providers can exchange individual dApp tokens and PEN tokens at favorable rates.
**Staking for node operation**
PEN token holders can become node operators of the blockchain network by staking a certain amount of PEN tokens as collateral, and the node operators receive compensation (rewards) in PEN tokens.
**Participation in governance**
PEN token holders who deposit PEN tokens for FeeFi participation or staked PEN tokens for node operation can participate in the governance of the blockchain network.

#### What Makes Protocon Unique?
Implementation of decentralized network technology based on PBFT algorithm Based on the self-developed consensus algorithm (ISAAC++), Protocon has prepared technical alternatives to implement a decentralized network while securing the processing speed and efficiency, which are the advantages of the PBFT-based consensus algorithm. 

**Here's an overview of this technology:

In order to check whether or not it is an intact node, a verification process through the Acting Suffrage Group is included during the consensus process. This verification process is also used as information to exit the node.
In addition to the Suffrage Group participating in the consensus process, Protocon have implemented a method that continuously checks whether the Candidate Group is intact, and allows the intact candidate node to automatically participate in the Suffrage Group instead of the expelled node. In other words, it has been implemented so that problematic nodes can be replaced periodically in the network live state.
 
Introduction of **'Contract Model'** as a new smart contract methodology
The Contract Model can be defined as a 'framework that utilizes blockchain core functions' and is a modular set of functions that handle operations required by a specific business. In general, smart contracts need to be developed for each service, whereas the model modulates and provides the necessary blockchain functions for each industry as a framework, making it easier and faster to develop blockchain application services.

Seedify.fund(SFUND) Seedify is a blockchain gaming-focused incubator and launchpad that empowers innovators and project developers through access to funding, community and partnership building, and a full support system to help drive the future of gaming and blockchain. Its ecosystem also includes an NFT launchpad for gaming and metaverse assets, along with the industry's first gaming-and-metaverse-asset-centric NFT marketplace, Seedify NFT Space.

Featuring an IGO launchpad with a tiered allocation mechanism, Seedify enables $SFUND holders to stake their tokens and earn staking rewards while gaining access to quality, procured blockchain gaming projects through private sales and initial game offerings. The launchpad's tier system consists of nine tiers. Tier 1 uses a lottery-based allocation process, while tier 2 to 9 participants enjoy guaranteed allocation.

Along with IGOs, stakers can also participate in initial NFT offerings (INOs) and initial metaverse offerings (IMOs) on Seedify's NFT Launchpad. Additionally, staking $SFUND, gives holders the opportunity to receive tokens from the projects that have been selected and supported by Seedify's incubation program.

Committed to bringing the opportunities offered through blockchain gaming and the play-to-earn model to billions around the globe, the Seedify team has established key relationships with numerous VCs and industry peers, to build an extensive support network for blockchain gaming and metaverse startups.

Seedify acts as a launching pad for blockchain games and the disruptive play-to-earn gaming model. The gaming industry is gradually entering a new era — previously gamers may spend large sums of money on in-game items with no direct monetary benefits. However, they are now able to make money by earning in-game item non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and tokens, which is facilitated by the play-to-earn revolution.

Blockchain technology has not only opened up more opportunities for gamers and game developers, but it has also offered additional forms of benefits like transparency, ownership, incentive models and digital ownership through NFTs.

The team behind the Seedify project are pursuing a global goal: to acquaint gamers with the blockchain and increase the rate of technology adoption, attract a huge number of users, create more jobs and financial benefits.

SXP is the native utility token of the Solar blockchain. Users can stake it to secure the network and earn rewards, and pay transaction fees on the Solar blockchain. They can also help govern the Solar blockchain by proposing and voting on changes to the protocol, and earn rewards for providing liquidity. Additionally, Solar DApps use SXP as their primary currency.
