Fermions ($EXOFI)

The Heart of the Exofi Platform

The natvie ecosystem reward and DAO governance token. Fermions are elementary particles (like electrons, protons and neutrons) that form the basis of all reality as they are the subatomic building blocks, from which atoms are created (with multiple atoms creating molecules, and which in turn create all tangible matter, as we know it). They are the foundation of our existence and as such a fitting description and name for our platform native DAO Token, the Fermion ($EXOFI). The Main purposes of the Token are the incentivization of liquidity providers on the Exofi platform and in general, with a self-sustaining rewards-based economy, to incentivize as many users as possible to participate in the governance of the protocol.

Currently $EXOFI comes with four key features: Voting, Directing, Earning and Amplifying.

1) Voting: The main utility of the Fermion. It bestows you with the rights to actively manage the protocol and steer its future as a community. Through the Fermion you become a direct stakeholder in not just the Exofi platform but the Exo Ecosystem as a whole. Anything related to governance is manifested in the form of Boson ($MASS) tokens - They represent directly your vote units and are only usable to vote within the Exofi system, as they are non-tradable and non-transferable. The only way to acquire Bosons is to lock your Fermions into the "Higgs Field" (A time lock smart contract) for a set amount of time (from 1 month up to 4 years, for maximum benefits). You can find more on the Boson mechanic here.

2) Directing: A key interaction element of the Exofi DAO and it's liquidity pools is the possibility to also vote on incentive allocation - Meaning Users (and with it other external protocols/projects/etc.) are now able to actively influence the Fermion rewards distribution and potentially yielding the largest rewards amount, thereby 'directing' liquidity to the desired pool (the old adage of 'follow the money' really rings true here). This dynamic actively spurs competition among liquidity providers, creating an eternal win situation for the underlying Exofi Protocol.

3) Earning: There are multiple ways to earn within the Exofi ecosystem and by virtue of being modular and composable, even more options to aggregate and stack yield, as some products are building upon each other (hence being referred to as "Stacked Yield"). They entry step (and in spite of this the easiest but lowest earning option) is to simply provide liquidity into the different swap pools. Participants free earn fees according to their share represented by the issued LP tokens ("ENERGY"), with no obligations. The next step to maximize yield and start piecing the optimal yield puzzle together is to deposit all your ENERGY tokens into the corresponding Dyson Spheres that issue Fermions as rewards to all stakers. The next option is to simply stake your Fermion rewards again into the LHC for some more Fermions at a fixed rate. Eventually even more options will become available through locking fermions (to boost the base yield and earn even more Fermion rewards by directing liquidity to your best liquidized pool) as well as distributing liquidity across the ecosystem (stackable incentives to further push liquidity not just into trading pools but also other products like Samarqand)

4) Amplifying: The amplification can arise in different contexts, with the most native implementation being the feature of boosting the base APY of LHC staking but extends further through directing liquidity and other voting mechanisms.

All four of those elements constitute the pillars of the 'Utility' behind the native Fermion token and by extension the Exofi ecosystem as a whole
