✨𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗸𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗙𝗹𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹✨ (it's not the same ponzi that you think)
We were never designed to be another NFT collection/coin that shares rewards until the vault eventually runs dry.
Our goal is to build a self-sustaining DeFi economy where the NFT, the tokens, the lending marketplace, and future products just feed off from one another. In short, we hate ponzi.
Here's how it works:
1. STONKBANKERS NFT -> The entry point
• This is your access to the Stonkbankers reward layer and access to coolness *wink*
2. ACTIVATE / UPGRADE → Burn $PONS & $Stonkbankers
• Activate your NFT once and it starts working. Sell it and it gets reset. But while it's activated, you just wait to "bank" your rewards every 24 hours.
• Activation burns both Stonkbankers and Pons, truly deflationary! Ask why include pons, idk maybe ask their founder.
3. CLAIM USDG → Why not RWA?
• Bank it every 24 hours and your NFT is set for a daily passive income. You earn USDG. So you may use it flexibly as you wish.
• Swap to stonkbankers and pons for further upgrades, yes you can do that. Swap to ETH as your cryptosavings, yes you can do that. Or maybe provide liquidity for the lending marketplace hmmmmm.
4. LENDING MARKETPLACE → Borrow against your rwa / Provide funding and earn
• The lending marketplace is designed as an independent DeFi product that anyone can use. You don't need to own a StonkBanker to borrow. You don't need to own a StonkBanker to lend.
• Users can borrow against supported RWAs (and soon NFTs).
• Borrowers gain access to liquidity without immediately selling their assets.
• Lenders provide USDG liquidity and earn interest for taking the other side of those loans.
• The marketplace therefore creates its own economic activity: Borrowers need liquidity. Lenders want yield.
StonkBankers connects the two.
5. PROTOCOL ACTIVITY → Protocol Fees
• Every time people interact with StonkBankers financial products, economic activity is created. And the protocol captures fees from this activity.
• Those fees become the fuel that powers the next rotation of the flywheel. Instead of rewards coming from a fixed pool that only gets smaller. The ecosystem has a mechanism capable of continuously generating new revenue.
More users → more transactions.
More transactions → more protocol fees.
More protocol fees → more value flowing through the StonkBankers economy.
6. PROTOCOL FEES → Scale into more DeFi protocols
• The lending marketplace is not intended to be the finish line. As StonkBankers generates revenue and attracts liquidity, the goal is to expand into additional DeFi products.
Each new product creates another potential source of:
users → volume → fees → revenue.
THEN THE LOOP STARTS AGAIN.
NFT x DEFI FOR DUMMIES - a thread
NFTs were supposed to become useful. Most of them never did.
Utility became a word people used instead of a thing people built. 📉
The real question was never "what do holders get?" It's "what economic activity does this NFT actually participate in?"
