PROOF ON
Token · $PROOF

Commitment, access, capital scaling.

Not trading capital. Not required to start. PROOF is what a trader locks when taking responsibility for other people's money — and what an LP locks for better terms and first access.

Planned model. PROOF is a utility, commitment and access token. It is not trading capital, it does not buy Trader Score, and buyback & burn does not guarantee any market price. No inflationary staking rewards exist or are planned.

01Philosophy

Proof of skill → proof of commitment.

PROOF is not a speculative token bolted onto the product. Its utility comes from using the protocol.

  1. 01

    Proof of skill

    Trader proves they can trade — simulation, imported history or own capital. No PROOF involved.

  2. 02

    Proof of commitment

    Trader locks PROOF when taking responsibility for external capital.

  3. 03

    Capital allocation

    LPs allocate stablecoins to traders. PROOF is never the deposit asset.

  4. 04

    Revenue → buyback → burn

    Protocol fee revenue: 90% buys PROOF on the market and burns it.

02Three channels

For traders. For LPs. For the protocol.

Optional for basic participation, valuable for deeper participation and scaling.

For traders

  1. Prove skill and qualify — no PROOF needed
  2. Receive initial LP capital
  3. Stake PROOF as economic commitment
  4. Increase potential Capital Capacity
  5. Scale AUM as reputation grows

For LPs

  1. Allocate normally — no PROOF needed
  2. Lock PROOF
  3. Increase LP tier
  4. Receive fee discounts
  5. Receive priority allocation access

For the protocol

  1. Protocol earns its share of trading profits
  2. 90% → market buyback of PROOF
  3. Purchased PROOF is burned
  4. 10% → treasury / operations
03Trader utility

Skill qualifies you. PROOF helps you scale.

Stake is one input into Capital Capacity — with track record, Trader Score, Risk Score, strategy and Risk Mandate. Buying PROOF never buys a score or unlimited capacity.

  1. 01

    Staking · commitment

    Traders can lock PROOF as economic commitment when managing external capital.

  2. 02

    Capital Capacity

    Stake is one input into how much external capital a trader may manage — alongside track record, scores, strategy and mandate.

  3. 03

    Slashable commitment

    Planned for objectively malicious violations only: self-dealing, routing LP capital into trader-controlled scams, bypassing restrictions.

  4. 04

    Advanced trader access

    Category for future professional tools — analytics, risk dashboards, automation. Not the primary utility.

Trading losses are part of market risk. Slashing is intended for objectively prohibited or malicious behavior, not ordinary investment losses. A trade that lost money, a token that declined or a permitted drawdown never touches the stake.

04Capital Capacity tiers

Score first. Then PROOF.

Each tier needs a minimum score and track record before the stake matters. The entry tier needs no PROOF at all. Stake amounts are configurable, not final.

Max vault$10K
Tier 0 · VerifiedScore ≥ 6014d recordNo PROOF needed
Max vault$50K
Tier 1 · FundedScore ≥ 7060d record25,000 PROOF
Max vault$250K
Tier 2 · SeniorScore ≥ 80120d record100,000 PROOF
Max vault$1M
Tier 3 · PrincipalScore ≥ 90240d record400,000 PROOF

Illustrative parameters. Final values are set by governance before mainnet and can change afterwards through governance.

05LP utility

Better terms, first access.

An LP without PROOF uses the whole protocol at standard fees. Locking PROOF raises the LP tier: lower protocol fees and the first window when a popular trader's capacity is limited.

How much PROOF would you lock?

Locking is not implemented. This only shows how the tier system reads a balance. No PROOF is required to allocate as Basic.

Tier benefits change protocol fees and allocation timing. They do not change trader performance, Trader Score or your investment risk.

Illustrative parameters. Final values are set by governance before mainnet and can change afterwards through governance.

06Protocol revenue

90% of protocol fee revenue → buyback & burn.

Of the protocol's fee revenue — not of trading profits. The example below walks through the difference.

Trading profit · example$100,000
Performance-fee split · 75 / 20 / 5
LP share · 75%$75,000
Trader share · 20%$20,000
Protocol share · 5%$5,000
Of the protocol's fee revenue · 90 / 10
PROOF buyback & burn · 90% of protocol revenue$4,500Market purchase → permanent burn → total supply reduced
Treasury / operations · 10%$500

90% applies to the protocol's 5% share — not to trading profits. On $100,000 of profit that is $4,500, not $90,000. Planned model; no purchases or burns are executed today.

Buyback & burn · planned behaviour
  1. Protocol activity
  2. Trading profits
  3. Protocol fee revenue
  4. 90% → market buyback of PROOF
  5. PROOF burned
  6. Total supply reduced

Buyback & burn links protocol usage to token supply. It does not guarantee market price. No purchases, burns or transactions are executed today.

07Economic loop

Three demand channels, one product.

Trader utility, LP utility and protocol buyback — each driven by real usage, none by emissions.

01demand channel

Trader utility

  1. More successful traders
  2. More Capital Capacity needed
  3. More PROOF staked as commitment
02demand channel

LP utility

  1. More LP competition for top traders
  2. More value in priority access
  3. More reason for LPs to lock PROOF
03demand channel

Protocol buyback

  1. Skilled traders attract LP capital
  2. More AUM → more activity → potential profits
  3. Protocol fee revenue
  4. 90% buys PROOF on the market
  5. PROOF burned · supply reduced

Describes planned mechanics, not guaranteed demand or price.

09Important

Written down so it can be held to.

  1. 01
    PROOF is not required to begin Proof of Skill.
  2. 02
    PROOF is not required for basic LP participation.
  3. 03
    PROOF is not the LP deposit asset — vaults use stablecoins / approved collateral.
  4. 04
    PROOF does not buy Trader Score or Risk Score.
  5. 05
    PROOF does not guarantee investment returns or any token price.
  6. 06
    There is no inflationary staking APY and none is planned.

Governance — planned

PROOF may later vote on protocol parameters, fee ranges, treasury policy, supported strategy frameworks and selected upgrades. Secondary utility; not implemented.

Launch — planned via Pons

Max supply 1,000,000,000 PROOF. Launch price, initial market cap, liquidity, team or creator allocation are not set and are not shown here on purpose.
