Product

Social-first derivatives platform with up to x50 leverage on Telegram.

Problem

• DEX'es are hard to onboard; in futures they only have 1.5% of volume.
• Many traders get their trading knowledge from the KOL's at TG. This usually takes a lot of time and can be challenging to connect to the exchange and start trading.

Solution

• Together with Telegram integration Storm Trade makes access to trading as easy as possible, making trading not boring through social-fi mechanics.
• Storm Trade streamlines and speeds up the process of going from KOL’s post on Telegram to opening an exchange and starting trading immediately.

Business Model

The business model of $STORM token is centred around the protocol's revenue sharing function. 30% of all fees collected from trading will be distributed to all token stakers. The higher the trading volume of the protocol, the higher the profit received by the token's stakeholders.

Tokenomics

Token Utility

• Staking. All token stakers will receive a part of the trading fees collected. Fees on Storm Trade are taken when opening and closing a position, funding payments, rollover payments and liquidations. It turns out that the amount of fees is directly correlated with the daily volume of trades in the protocol.
• Rewarding. Tokens will be used as rewards for winning trade tournaments, participating in squads, inviting friends and more.
• Product. Token is used in PoS Consensus of Decentralized Execution Network (to be built in future).

The deflationary mechanics of the token will be based on locking tokens when they are sent to staking. Staking will reduce the number of tokens on the market, offering high returns from trading fees collected by the protocol.
