In this article, we would like to introduce Skyward Finance - the first IDO platform on the NEAR protocol. We'll be covering the following topics:
- What is Skyward Finance and the SKYWARD token? How does it work?
- Specific details about FLX token and it’s tokenomic including its up-to-date price, key metrics, distribution and use cases.
- How to get a SKYWARD? Where to store it?
- Skyward Finance roadmap and updates & details about team, investors and partners.
Let’s get started!
What is Skyward Finance?
Skyward Finance is the first IDO platform on the NEAR protocol, using the Streaming Time-based Auction mechanism. Skyward Finance’s goal is to enable fair token distribution for projects built on Near Protocol.
How does Skyward Finance work?
Skyward Finance provides a contract that distributes a fixed amount of the Output tokens in exchange for a specific Input token over a fixed duration of token sales.
Every sale has at least one week for the community to assess the project. Simultaneously, this time allows Projects to create marketing campaigns for their sales and create awareness among potential investors.
Let's look at a simple auction, the project is selling 10,000 MOON tokens:
- When the sale event happens, all nUSDT is summed up into a total of 5,000 nUSDT.
- The sale price was discovered at 2 MOON tokens per 1 nUSDT.
- 4 participants committed 500 (10%), 1,000 (20%), 1,500 (30%) and 2,000 (40%) of nUSDT.
- Each participant then receives a corresponding share of the MOON token. Then they’ll receive 1,000 (10%), 2,000 (20%), 3,000 (30%) and 4,000 (40%) of the total MOON token respectively.
Why is Skyward Finance unique?
Skyward Finance is resistant to front-running, price manipulations, and Sybil attacks:
- Sales are not instant and split linearly over the duration of a sale so bots’ reaction time does not have an advantage over humans.
- Pump and Dump events are not possible because Skyward Finance doesn’t allow immediate token resell in the same pool.
SKYWARD token is not required to create a sale or to participate in a sale.
Ability to raise funds for any token, can launch multiple sales with different tokens simultaneously.
