I joined the Hive Blockchain (formerly Steem) in 2017. In May 2021, I announced the Cent Project. Since my introduction to Hive-Engine, I have been using almost all its features. I have gained experience in liquidity pools, token trading, token management, tribal project creation/management, etc.
The study has been quite productive since its announcement. However, low transaction volume and lack of liquidity in Hive-Engine were among the problems we encountered. At the same time, we ran the study for a long time with very little capital. With the Trade Token Study, we will manage trading operations, market making, and liquidity provision together. We will distribute the study rewards using the Hive/Trade liquidity pool.
Token name: Trade
Symbol: TRADE
Maximum supply: 21,000
Management account: @hetrader
For token trading:
https://tribaldex.com/trade/TRADE
https://hive-engine.com/trade/TRADE
https://beeswap.dcity.io/tokens/TRADE
There will be no large-scale token sale. Market making, token sales, and token buybacks will be managed together in the token's market. However, we will keep inflation extremely limited. 25% of the proceeds from the token sale will be used for regular token buybacks.
At least 50% of the revenue generated from trading, investing, liquidity provision, etc., on the Hive-Engine will be added to the Hive/Trade liquidity pool as liquidity provider rewards. The remaining portion will be allocated to trading, investing, and liquidity provision activities.
Initially, we have set a price target of 1 HBD (1 USD). However, the TRADE token is not a stablecoin. As the project matures, the token's value will naturally increase. We will increase the buyback amount when the token's value is at or below 1 HBD. When the token's value is above 1 HBD, we will reinvest a significant portion of the project's revenue back into trading and investing activities.

Yes, with little capital it's not that easy for an idea to take off.
Interesting new token.
I hope we can reach better places with the token. If this can be achieved, it will be very profitable for both the project and the participating users.
With the growing capital and leveraging on your experience, I think the journey is worth a try.
Not sure I'm getting this right, you'll provide volume to certain tokens? I thought liquidity pools and swaps removed the need for market makers.
Hello. Let's take Zing Token as an example. In the Hive/Zing market, the trading volume in the last day was $133. In the Zing/Hive liquidity pool, the trading volume in the last day was $401. The situation should be exactly the opposite. In other words, the place where the trading volume should actually occur should be the token market, not the liquidity pool. And the price formation should occur in the token market.
Let me talk about just one of the problems that the current situation will create; The current Zing price in the liquidity pool is 0.00273 Hive. In the Hive/Zing market, it is 0.00263/0.00359 Hive. The price in the liquidity pool should be close to 0.00311 Hive. As long as the token market does not have the trading volume and liquidity advantage, healthy price formation cannot occur, no matter which way the price moves. I chose Zing because it is a known example. 90% of the tokens in the Hive-Engine have the same problem. Arbitrage bots like Mcbot, God0, Konvik etc. provide some balance. However, they do not provide real users with the opportunity to make a profit due to low transaction volume etc.
We have started studies like the one here regarding Cent. One of the purposes of creating this token is to prevent the problems I mentioned. Such things will remain very weak. However, it is necessary to start from a certain stage.
The reason it should be the opposite is cause there's no fees there?
But yeah I always thought the arb bots would take care of the spread, not sure why it's still that bad. So if it helps with that then I can understand it. Thanks for explaining!

I have been wondering about these accounts. Now I see; they are bots.

I bought a small amount to earmark this token, interested in seeing what future options it will bring.
I just don't see the point. Aside from the lower cap, how does this add anything?
Hello. I explained the part you mentioned here;
If you have any other questions I can answer them.
Yeah, that still doesn't seem like an explanation. Will the capital generated be used to back the tokens at a certain HIVE price floor?

So it took you 4 years to launch the Cent project. I see now that when I joined Cent, the project was just 10 months old. And then after 3 years and 4 months, you are launching another token. I like its name; I am a lover of free trade and markets. Though I don't fully understand how this token works, I am willing to give it a try once my fund arrives. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you very much for your contributions so far. This has been a very experience-informing process. I hope the upcoming process will add more to the past experiences. The profit will follow.
Yes, though the code aims to remove "trust," but still we cannot completely do away with our basic humanity. I find my two years and six months of being a member of the Cent community very worthwhile. Thanks to you!
Could you provide some insights in the TRADE token release schedule / distribution?
What I noticed sofar after clearing the market to enter a LP position early:
Account 'centtoken' seems to be able to call upon the smart contract and unlock another batch of TRADE tokens manually - for example the 1000 TRADE tokens today.
My questions: How many of the 21K tokens are allocated to 'centtoken' and will be come available for sale? Are there guidelines / timelines for this?
I noticed that the account ' centtoken' was trying to find a good price to position the next batch, repositioning it a couple of times.
My question; would a fixed prices schedule make sense? Placing every next batch of 500 higher compared to the previous batch (for example 0.25 or 0.5 hive above the previous).
There seems to be a contract distributing 500 Trade tokens to your account Anadola a day.
My question: Can you confirm this? Furthermore, what proportion of total TRADE is allocated for this?
General question: Apart from allocation to LP rewards and the distributions to centtoken and anadolu, are there other allocations for the distribution of TRADE?
Good luck with this project!
Hello. First of all, thank you for trusting and participating in the project and the 'Hive-Engine Investments' study. First, let me answer your question about the accounts.
As for the sales and distribution strategy;
As a result, 1500 more tokens were sent to the @centtoken account than planned. And the balance was achieved by gradually increasing the sales price. The account does not enter orders only to sell tokens. In addition, it enters a sell order in the token market to protect users who trade in the market from price slippage. To give an example; If @centtoken removes the sell order and a user enters a loaded buy order at the market price, they will encounter extreme prices such as buying 1 Trade token at the price of 500 Hive. Therefore, it is quite natural for the account to enter sell/buy orders at various levels. When the transaction volume, liquidity and depth begin to mature, such measures will not be necessary.
As mentioned in the introductory text above, when the token was announced, I purchased approximately 300 Trade tokens. The reason for this was to ensure that the Hive/Trade liquidity pool was created and started distributing rewards as soon as possible. (Liquidity pool creation fee is 1000 BEE and the fee to activate LP rewards is 100 BEE.) I added some of my tokens to the liquidity pool. I also entered buy and sell orders for some of them to contribute to the formation of depth in the market. I also recommend you to follow the price movements and buy/sell when you see it necessary. In addition to all this, constantly evaluate the risks, whether in other cryptocurrencies or Hive-Engine tokens. And take the necessary precautions. I wish you success.

Awesome! Thank you for the detailed reply!
Interesting... Does TRADE token have any utility?
It is built entirely on trading. Therefore, the returns on investments made in Hive-Engine, trading profits, etc. will be distributed mainly to users who hold the token. It may be suitable for those who expect a regular income stream. But in any case, consider your risks.

Hello 🙂 A new report will be published during the day. The circulating supply for the token sale has increased to 5000 tokens. If it happens, orders have been placed for sale on the market between 1.8 and 2.5 Hive. The income will be used for trading and investment.
Perfect! Can't wait! !DIY
