Features of the Protocol ​

Arowana Protocol offers a stable and innovative financial ecosystem by tokenizing physical assets starting with gold and providing various decentralized finance (DeFi) services. The core features of the protocol are as follows:

1. Arowana Swap ​

  • Functionality
    • Arowana Swap is a decentralized exchange within the ecosystem that allows users to trade digital assets such as AGT, USDT, and ARW.
    • Instead of using an order book, users exchange assets through a liquidity pool model.
  • Liquidity Provider Incentives
    • Liquidity providers earn revenue through trading fees and ARW token rewards.
  • Market Stability
    • The protocol maintains market stability by supporting multiple trading pairs and ensuring sufficient liquidity.

2. AGT Mint / Redeem ​

  • AGT Overview
    • AGT is a token that reflects the value of 1 gram of physical gold.
    • Users can mint or redeem AGT based on their desired quantity.
  • Minting
    • Users can mint AGT by providing physical gold or stable assets like USDT.
    • Arowana purchases and securely stores the equivalent amount of physical gold.
  • Redemption
    • When redeeming AGT, Arowana sells the corresponding physical gold and returns the original asset to the user.

3. Staking and Rewards ​

  • ARW Token Staking
    • Users can stake ARW tokens to earn rewards and support network participation.
  • Reward Structure
    • Stakers receive ARW token rewards.
    • Liquidity providers who contribute assets to the DEX earn both trading fees and additional ARW rewards.
  • Staking Pools
    • Multiple staking pools allow users to manage their assets more efficiently.
  • Sustainable Growth
    • The reward system is designed to encourage user participation and promote the protocol's long-term sustainability.

4. Lending Protocol ​

  • Functionality
    • The Arowana Lending Protocol enables users to borrow stablecoins such as USDT by using AGT or other assets as collateral.
  • Liquidity Access
    • Users can access liquidity without selling their AGT, maintaining exposure to gold prices.
  • Depositor Rewards
    • Lenders earn returns by depositing assets into the liquidity pool.
  • Smart Contracts
    • Smart contracts automate and transparently manage the lending process.
  • Risk Management
    • Real-time collateral monitoring and automated liquidation mechanisms ensure effective risk control.

5. Tokenized Real Aseet Fund ​

  • Asset Tokenization
    • The protocol supports tokenization of real-world assets, allowing users to invest in and trade these assets on-chain.
  • Supported Asset Types
    • A wide range of assets including bonds, real estate, and intellectual property (IP)-can be tokenized and offered to global investors.
