Joseph Coin Good
The current market sentiment for $JOE is one of a ‘farm coin’ … translating to ‘no utility’. An incorrect and misplaced thesis. There is utility for the Token, in the form of sharing platform revenue. More importantly, now that Banker Joe has launched, new utility in the form of collateralization of the $JOE token is now a key focus for the Team. Collateralization of $xJOE and JLPs will be coming from Partners as well, eg ‘Degenbox’ … very soon.
Stack your $JOE tokens up, anon … NFA
A new revenue stream will also be opened up for xJOE holders in the coming weeks. First, Banker Joe is building up Reserves to protect the protocol against potential shortfall events. But, once sufficient Reserves are built up, we can then look to divert revenue to xJOE stakers.
Banker Joe (🎩,🔺)
The launch of Banker Joe was has been a great success, quickly surpassing Benqi with over $2Billy deposited within the first week. We greatly appreciate all the community’s feedback, the team worked round the clock to ensure the seamless user experience you’ve grown to love with Trader Joe.
Banker Joe will have new tokens added, conversations are already underway with close partners of the protocol.
