11 min readJan 18, 2022

REMINDER: YOU SHOULD ONLY TAKE THE CONTRACT ADDRESS FROM THE ORIGINAL D3 PROTOCOL TWITTER ACCOUNT AT THE FOLLOWING URL: HTTPS://TWITTER.COM/D3PROTOCOL! MAKE SURE TO TURN YOUR NOTIFICATIONS ON!

PLEASE DO NOT BUY USING ANY OTHER SOURCE CLAIMING TO HAVE THE CONTRACT ADDRESS!

D3 protocol will be a stealth, fair launch — this means we will NOT tell you when the protocol will launch or the contract address until it has been deployed.

However, we are almost ready and D3 Protocol will be launching no later than 27th January 2022.

We will endeavour to launch at a time of day that is as convenient as possible for all time zones within which we believe the core majority of our holders reside.

Launch process

Here is how the launch process will be carried out:

  1. The official launch will be announced on the D3 Protocol Twitter: https://twitter.com/d3protocol with the $DEFI contract address.
  2. To buy you visit PancakeSwap, import $DEFI as a custom token and purchase (recommended to use $BUSD, detailed instructions below).
  3. To mint visit the official D3 Protocol website: https://d3protocol.io/, enter the app and select your mint preference (detailed instructions below).
  4. To stake you visit the official D3 Protocol website: https://d3protocol.io/, enter the app and select stake (detailed instructions below).

Please keep reading for full instructions on buying, minting and staking.

Launch tokenomics

Here is a reminder of the launch tokenomics:

  1. D3 Protocol will mint 20,000 $DEFI using 20,000 $BUSD.
  2. 5,000 $DEFI will be immediately burned to kickstart inflation control.
  3. 5,000 $DEFI will be airdropped proportionally to $CCF holders.
  4. 10,000 $DEFI will be paired with 30,000 $BUSD for the PancakeSwap LP.

There is a 12% tax on every buy and sell to incentivize and reward staking, control inflation, and support treasury growth. The breakdown is as follows.

$DEFI airdrop for $CCF holders

$CCF holders will receive an airdrop of $DEFI proportional to their holdings of $CCF vs. circulating supply (excluding burn wallet and LP). This is based on a snapshot to be taken prior to the launch of D3 Protocol.

Has the snapshot been taken?

The snapshot has not been taken yet. The snapshot will be taken immediately prior to the launch of D3 Protocol. So, don’t worry, just hold your $CCF and wait for D3 Protocol to launch.

How to calculate your airdrop amount?

The airdrop is proportional to your holdings versus $CCF circulating supply, excluding the burn address, and LP address.

For example, if you own 1% of this $CCF supply you will receive 0.25% of the initial launch (20,000 $DEFI supply). As of today, here is a guide to what you can expect to receive.

This is in proportion to a very limited $DEFI supply at launch, at a very low market cap (initial listing at $45,000 market cap), and you will be able to stake and compound those rewards.

If you want guaranteed exposure to $DEFI you still have time to purchase additional $CCF to qualify for the airdrop.

When will I receive my airdrop?

The airdrop will be distributed 24 hours after the launch of D3 Protocol to avoid any issues with wallet limits at launch (more details on this below). You do not need to do anything; we will automatically airdrop your $DEFI to your wallet. You can then stake your $DEFI on the D3 Protocol website.

Information on buying $DEFI

Launch buying limits

In order to ensure a fair distribution of tokens at launch there will be buying limits per wallet that scale up every 24 hours from launch, with unlimited buys allowed on day 5.

This prevents individuals securing and controlling an excessive percentage of the $DEFI supply. Once you hit the limit on that individual wallet, your transactions will be rejected by the contract. There are no sell limits, as these are naturally kept in check by the buy limits (if you can only buy 100 $DEFI, you can only sell a maximum of 100 $DEFI).

How to buy?

Once you have the contract address from the official D3 Protocol (as explained above), you can head over to PancakeSwap: https://pancakeswap.finance/swap, and purchase your $DEFI tokens.

  1. Connect your wallet and select $BUSD as the currency to buy $DEFI
  2. Click on the token you wish to buy (where is says CAKE)
  3. On the pop-up paste $DEFI contract and import (that window closes)
  4. Click the gear icon setting and set transaction speed to instant
  5. Choose slippage (personal choice but may need to be higher at launch)

You then simply close your settings and input either how much $BUSD you wish to spend, or how many $DEFI you wish to buy (remembering the daily limits above).

How to buy on PancakeSwap

Note that we have used $BUSD as the example as this is the currency that $DEFI is paired with in the LP. You can use other currencies like $BNB and it will work, it will just first route it through $BUSD. For simplicity and efficiency, we recommend using $BUSD.

Information on minting $DEFI

Launch minting limits

In order to further ensure a fair distribution of tokens at launch there will also be minting limits that are tied to a per wallet % of circulating supply. This prevents individuals from securing and controlling an excessing percentage of $DEFI supply. Once you hit the limit on that individual wallet, your transactions will be rejected by the contract. Mint limits are also necessary to prevent excessive inflation.

Please also note that whilst the market launch price of $DEFI is 3 $BUSD, the mint floor will be set at 10 $BUSD. If you believe the price of $DEFI will surpass 10 $BUSD at launch you can lock in your mints at launch. This both enables access for a wide range of people at a fair price, protects a little against initial launch volatility, and ensures the secure backing of the $DEFI token in the D3 treasury.

Mints available at launch are $BUSD and $CCF, with the biggest discount being on $CCF. Please note that you do not incur any taxes when minting. This also includes no $CCF taxes when minting $CCF. Rago has worked his magic on this one.

The above limits will remain in place for the first 5-days after launch, after which minting limits will be controlled by the protocol to manage inflation.

The vesting period for all mints is 5-days. Discounts are dynamic and linked to a live price feed so we cannot give you specifics. But please be careful and make sure you know what you are doing before minting. Additional mints will be added in due course.

How to mint $DEFI?

To mint, visit the D3 Protocol website: https://d3protocol.io/

  1. Click on the enter app button and connect your wallet (MetaMask and WalletConnect are the wallets that are supported).
  2. Check the mints on the left-hand menu and select the mint that you wish to use (discounts are displayed next to the mints).
  3. On the screen that comes up, check and select the mint you want and press the mint button.
  4. Enter how much $DEFI you wish to mint, remembering the minting limits listed above.
  5. Your balance, what you will get, the maximum and minimum you can buy, the ROI, and the vesting term (5 days) are displayed here too.
  6. Then click approve and sign the transaction in your wallet to approve the $DEFI token.
  7. Once confirmed you press the same button again to mint and confirm the transaction.
  8. Once the vesting period has completed you will be able to claim and auto-stake your $DEFI.

As previously mentioned, there will always be a max limit on mints available at any given time versus circulating supply in order to control inflation. These limits are dynamic and calculated by the protocol, in order to manage inflation.

REMINDER: IF YOU CHOOSE TO MINT USING $CCF, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECLAIM THIS $CCF. THE $CCF WILL BE SENT TO THE TREASURY TO BACK THE $DEFI TOKEN!

Information on staking $DEFI

Understanding staking

Whether you have received the airdrop, bought $DEFI, or received your vested $DEFI after minting, you are now ready to stake. Staking means that you are locking your $DEFI out of supply to support the stability and growth of the D3 Protocol.

You are compensated for doing so by receiving additional $DEFI which are rebased every 8 hours (i.e., you automatically receive additional $DEFI). The APY (yield or returns that you are receiving) is paid out of the treasury from a proportion of the money received from mints.

We also offer additional rewards to incentivize staking, with 3% of every buy and sell transaction going to $DEFI stakers as claimable $BUSD dividends. In simple terms the more you stake the greater a share of $BUSD you receive. Stake more to earn more.

These $BUSD dividends need to be claimed from the app dashboard whenever you are ready, and these funds are yours to use as you please so you do not need to unstake $DEFI to generate liquidity.

The APY and your rewards

We are prioritizing a long sustainable runway, over trying to attract users with deceptive, unsustainably high yields that other protocols offer.

APY is automatically calculated by the protocol based on a dynamic mint and pricing criteria. It will start higher and decrease as more stakers join the ecosystem.

In addition, our staking algorithm will reduce the APY rewards over time when certain treasury milestones are hit. However, rewards are still highly attractive.

As mentioned, the APY is automatically calculated by the protocol, but is programmed to offer realistic returns for long-term sustainability.

Your rewards are always proportional to your percentage holding of total circulating supply. If you stake on day one and do not unstake you will maintain the same percentage of total market cap as you have on day 1.

Rebase rewards in $DEFI are automatic, and as mentioned above, $BUSD dividends can be claimed easily via the dashboard.

How to stake?

To receive automatic rebase rewards you stake your $DEFI which is converted to $sDEFI (staked $DEFI). This enables the contract to automatically add your rewards at the end of each 8-hour rebase period. 1 $DEFI always equals 1 $sDEFI. When you unstake you will receive the equivalent amount of $DEFI.

To stake, visit the D3 Protocol website: https://d3protocol.io/

  1. Click on the enter app button and connect your wallet (MetaMask and WalletConnect are the wallets that are supported).
  2. Click the stake button listed on the left-hand menu and you will be taken to the staking interface.
  3. Enter how much $DEFI you wish to stake. You can stake as much or as little $DEFI as you like.
  4. Information such as your balance, your staked balance, the next reward amount, the next reward yield and the 5 day ROI is displayed too.
  5. Then click approve and sign the transaction in your wallet to approve the $DEFI token.
  6. Once confirmed you press the same button again to stake and confirm the transaction.
  7. You will follow a similar process in reverse should you wish to unstake your $DEFI.

Staking interface

How to claim $BUSD dividends?

Your $BUSD dividends continuously accumulate based on the amount you are staking. The more you stake, the higher your $BUSD dividends.

To claim your $BUSD dividend, visit the D3 Protocol website: https://d3protocol.io/

  1. Click on the enter app button and connect your wallet (MetaMask and WalletConnect are the wallets that are supported).
  2. Click the dividend button listed on the left-hand menu and you will be taken to the dividends interface.
  3. There you will be able to see the amount of $BUSD you are able to claim. Click the button and complete the transaction to claim to your wallet.

Please note that all screenshots are from the testnet and are for representative purposes only. D3 Protocol is not live yet.

Claim your dividend

Whether you have received the airdrop, bought, or minted $DEFI the process is the same. The longer you stake and the more you stake, the more automatic $DEFI rebase rewards you receive and the more $BUSD dividends you accumulate. You are free to unstake whenever you wish with no lock ups. Should you sell your $DEFI you are liable to the usual buy and sell taxes as outlined earlier.
