SOURCE PROTOCOL: An enterprise grade Blockchain

Source Protocol INTRODUCTION

SOURCE is a standalone, layer 1, proof-of-stake blockchain, based in the Cosmos Hub IBC ecosystem (the Interchain). SOURCE has been built with Ignite CLI (formerly Starport), which utilizes the Tendermint BFT consensus mechanism (Ignite) and the Cosmos SDK. This enables interoperable transactions with other layer 1 Cosmos Hub blockchains and creates a developer-friendly platform to build on top of. With SOURCE, everyone has access to a highly efficient, scalable and interoperable blockchain network to create apps, smart contracts and tools for the Web 3.0 Economy. Developers, enterprises and individuals can build, integrate and use everything from DeFi apps, NFTs, play-to-earn, metaverse, privacy networks, DeSci, and much more.

Source Swap

Introduction

Source Swap is a DEX and AMM currently in beta testing that will allow for trading and liquidity mining of SOURCE-based tokens, native Cosmos SDK assets and cw-20's. Wrapped tokens from SOURCE Protocol’s Binance Smart Chain-based “Source One" Market will also be integrated. It will allow users to use IBC transfers from various chains for a secure and interoperable user experience. Liquidity pool incentives will be provided from the SOURCE liquidity mining reward allocation from the genesis distribution.

Fees: Transaction, Swap, and Exit

Transaction fees are paid by users when signing and posting transactions to SOURCE Chain. These fees are distributed to SOURCE stakers. Swap fees are paid by users when trading with the SOURCE Swap AMM decentralized exchange. They are calculated based on trade size and vary by liquidity pool. These fees are added to their respective pool and then distributed to users based on the proportion of their liquidity pool token share.

Exit fees are paid by users when exiting a liquidity pool. They are calculated as a percentage of LP token shares being redeemed. Upon exit, the user’s LP shares are burned and the value is distributed to the remaining LP shares. Exit fees are set by the pool creator. SOURCE governance can also deploy additional fees to improve the network if needed.

What makes Source Protocol special?

Unlike the vast majority of existing industry players, Source is an all-encompassing ecosystem. You can think of it as a one-stop-shop. It is not just one chain, token, coin, feature or product, but several that work collectively to form a technology infrastructure that provides value for anyone, from the retail user to the developer to the enterprise. We have a huge incentive infrastructure for users and developers to come, and stay.

SOURCE competitive advantages over other blockchain projects

• For builders & developers — Source Chain’s extremely high speeds (2500–10000+ tx / per second), low cost / gas fees ($0.01 average per tx), and scalability (developers can deploy apps in multiple coding languages using CosmWasm smart contract framework), set it apart as a blockchain built to handle mass adopted applications and tools. Not to mention, it’s interoperable with the entire Cosmos ecosystem.

• For users — Source Protocol’s DeFi suite is Solvent and Sustainable (Automated liquidity mechanisms create a continuously self-funded, solvent and liquid network), Reduces Complexity (we’re making Web 3.0 easy to use with tools like Source Token which automate DeFi market rewards), and we’ve implemented Enhanced Security and Governance systems (like Guardian Nodes), which help us track malicious attacks and proposals to create a safer user environment.

• For Enterprises — Source Protocol is one of the first to introduce DeFi-as-a-Service (DaaS) in order for existing online banking and fintech solutions to adopt blockchain technology with ease, and source also provides Enterprise Programs which are complete with a partner network of OTC brokerages, crypto exchanges, and neobanks that create a seamless corporate DeFi experience (fiat onboarding, offboarding, and mutli-sig managed wallets)
