A key belief of the Canto network is that core cryptoeconomic primitives should exist as Free Public Infrastructure. To further facilitate this vision, early Canto contributors propose the implementation of Contract Secured Revenue: a novel mechanism for smart contract developers to earn from their work.What Is Contract Secured Revenue (CSR)?Contract Secured Revenue, or CSR, is an opt-in fee splitting model that relays to developers to a percentage of any transaction fees paid to the network ...

Canto is launched. The governance keys for Canto Lending Market are now in full custody of the DAO with subsequent proposals enacted to enable security emissions and chain parameters. With that, early contributors plan to propose the following liquidity mining schedule to the DAO.Liquidity Mining ProgramPer Canto’s Genesis and token distribution model, the initial liquidity mining program will release tokens linearly per block to LP token holders:62.5 million CANTO will be released to LP toke...

We’re nearing the public launch of Canto, a Layer 1 blockchain providing core DeFi primitives designed to support the Free Public Infrastructure. We’re excited to invite the community to review the following details on token distribution for the Canto network, including the inaugural liquidity mining incentives, and grants for eligible participants in the Settlers of Cantos testnet event.Genesis BlockAt genesis, 1B tokens were minted.

Canto presents the radical notion that core DeFi primitives should exist as Free Public Infrastructure (FPI). Having observed the growth of the DeFi space, from the launch of DAI in late 2017 to the emergence of many DeFi projects in 2021, three core primitives have emerged to anchor any healthy DeFi ecosystem: decentralized exchanges (DEX), lending markets, and a decentralized unit of account. As the ecosystem has grown, each core primitive has made the same decision: launch a governing prot...

As Canto’s fourth month of liquidity mining incentives nears its completion, early contributors will propose to the DAO an extension of the program with identical parameters, so as to maintain the network’s current capital efficiency and stakeholder alignment. The proposal is to be submitted to the DAO at approximately 11 AM Eastern Time on Monday Dec 19th. Additional information about the incentive parameters and the rationale for maintaining their current values is provided below.AnalysisTh...

As Canto’s first month of liquidity mining incentives nears its completion, early contributors propose to the DAO an extension of the program with new parameters to improve capital efficiency and further align Canto stakeholders. The proposal calls for the reduction of net emissions across security and liquidity mining to be reduced by ~54% over the prior period, as recommended below.AnalysisIt’s clear that Canto’s initial incentives were well received.

With Canto’s fifth month of liquidity mining incentives ending soon, early contributors propose to the DAO a reduction in network emissions to improve the program’s sustainability and align Canto stakeholders. Across two proposals, contributors call to reduce security emissions by exactly 20% and reduce liquidity mining incentives by approximately 26% across the board:The proposal to reduce security emissions is to be submitted to the DAO at ~11AM Eastern Time on Thursday, January 12th.The pr...
