Questioning the obvious: liquidations
Liquidations, generally thought to be obvious and good for the market, actually cause major market inefficiencies. Aside from being a bad experience for traders, they incentivize market collusions via short squeezes - recently observed with GME/AMC and nickel markets a few years back, and a daily occurrence in crypto markets. Exponents provide payoff for any asset pairs, all free from immediate liquidations.
The adoption strategy
Exponents will make
yield farming great again
01
Crypto’s 2 interactions:
Liquidity, Speculation
Going to the fundamentals of crypto, there are only 2 interactions that users can do in crypto markets. It’s always either you provide liquidity, or speculate on tokens.
02
DeFi grew from incentive layers for
Liquidity
All the things that happened with DeFi summer and yield farming, which brought billions of dollars of liquidity, was only possible because people built incentive layers for liquidity.
03
But why no incentive layers for
Speculation?
Exponents adds a new dimension to incentive games, enabling projects the ability to provide direct incentives for traders to long their token. Protocols may also crush competition by providing incentives for traders to short their competitors’ tokens.
Converting crypto tribalism to a capital game
Crypto is always going to be tribalistic, with similar protocols competing for the same network and userbase. Before Exponents, the only method for market superiority was to play the social game on crypto Twitter. Exponents is converting this to a financial market, just like how Uber crushed Lyft with capital, but now onchain.
