What is Pylon Protocol? Everything you need to know about MINE Token

Terra is a fast-growing blockchain with a vision of cryptocurrency mass adoption by providing friendly payment services. After the Columbus-5 upgrade, Terra promised a new wave of projects on Terra, which created a demand for a launching platform. At the moment, the launchpad sector on Terra includes 2 projects: StarTerra and Pylon Protocol. In this article, let’s take a look into one of them.

What is Pylon Protocol?

Pylon is a collection of savings and payment services. The idea of Pylon is to provide a riskless investment by depositing money and spending yields. This is enabled by making the use of stable APY generated from Anchor Protocol.

Users can expect 2 key features from Pylon:

• Payment (upcoming): Pylon offers principal-protected payments. This offers a new way of paying for subscription services with “no fee”. Imagine how great it is to enjoy full services of Netflix, Spotify,.. with no loss to your principal.
• Launchpad: Pylon offers a new way of IDO participation on Terra. Instead of registering and praying for winning a whitelist, users can simply deposit their UST, receive the IDO tokens, and withdraw the full amount of their initial investment after the lock-up period.

How does Pylon Protocol work?

Reading the above information about “no-fee” services and “riskless” investment, you may ask how it is possible. And, the answer lies in the fixed interest rate earned from Anchor Protocol. Again the keyword is “Deposit money and Spend yields”. 

Pylon Payments:

• Users side: They deposit stablecoin to get access to recurring services. Upon subscription expiry, users can withdraw in full of their initial deposit.
• Creator side: They receive stable, continuous yields generated from users’ deposits.

Pylon Launchpad: 

• Investor side: They deposit stablecoins to the pool of projects. After a lock-up period, they can withdraw all of their initial investment and claim the project's reward tokens.
• Project team side: They receive consistent yields, which will support the sustainable growth of the project over time.

2 key things to make this mechanism work are that: the payer should be willing to lock up their investment long enough to generate sufficient yields and the payee should benefit from a stable cash flow.

What is MINE token?

MINE is the native token of the Pylon Protocol. MINE holders have the right to participate in governance activities and earn yields from the protocol as well.

Is Pylon Protocol (MINE) a good investment?

I hope that from all the mentioned information, you can get a basic understanding of Orion Money to start researching more about this project. It is hard to tell firmly whether any project/ token is a good investment or not. 

However, I will provide you with some key highlights of Orion Money so that you can do your own research and make your own investment decisions.

Pylon Protocol is part of Terra blockchain, which is currently in the top 4 blockchains with the highest TVL. The success of the mainnet update on September 30th promised a more significant growth of Terra soon.

Pylon Protocol is backed by Terraform Labs and partnered with Anchor, the top-tier protocol in Terra. With such a strong foundation, Pylon Protocol is expected to be an integral block in the whole ecosystem.

Being a first mover and backed by Terraforms Lab, Pylon Protocol is now the launchpad that gathers the most IDO projects on Terra. Some projects launched on Pylon Protocol are all notable projects on Terra: Loop Finance, Pylon Protocol,...Many more IDO projects will be live on Pylon Protocol soon.  Check this page for more information.
