JOE

#370

LFJ provides all the functionality of a modern DEX and offers a convenient user interface, combined with speedy and cheap transactions. Users can provide liquidity by participating in one of its yield farms and earn JOE (JOE) as a reward token, which can later be staked and used to vote in governance proposals. Its lending protocol Banker Joe, based on the Compound (COMP) protocol, allows users to borrow and lend funds in a non-custodial manner. Moreover, users can also open leveraged positions on their provided or borrowed funds.

To increase the utility and adoption of the JOE token, LFJ is working on introducing several new options, which are aimed at transforming the project into the main DeFi platform within the Avalanche ecosystem. First of all, users will be able to use JOE as collateral to borrow against. Moreover, LFJ also plans to facilitate limit orders, options and futures trading on its platform. Thanks to the speed of its innovation and strong comic book-like branding, LFJ has attracted strong backers from within the DeFi community, including from AAVE (AAVE) founder Stani Kulechov and Darren Lau.

The total supply of JOE (JOE) is 500 million. The token was launched without a pre-sale, private sale, or pre-listing allocations. The distribution of JOE is as follows:

• 50% – liquidity providers
• 20% – treasury
• 20% – team (three-month cliff)
• 10% – future investors (three-month cliff)

JOE is being emitted over a 30-month period and JOE stakers earn 0.05% of all trades. JOE also pays a share of fees from lending interest and liquidations into the staking pool. The emission rates of JOE steadily decrease over time and will come to an end at the beginning of January 2024.

LFJ is built upon Avalanche (AVAX), a blockchain with its own proprietary consensus mechanism, in which all nodes process and validate transactions by employing a directed acyclic graph (DAG) protocol.

The treasury is currently entrusted to its developers Cryptofish and 0xMurloc, although the LFJ community plans to establish a multi-signature governance mechanism in future. For now, token holders can vote on the development of the protocol via Snapshot.
