Bifrost is about to usher in an important moment of paradigm shift!
 
In the second half of 2024, the long-awaited Bifrost 2.0 will officially set sail, bringing a disruptive new token economy model of $BNC. On August 13th, Bifrost co-founder and CEO Lurpis released a heavyweight content titled "Bifrost Token Economy 2.0 (bbBNC) Proposal" on the governance platform, drawing a grand blueprint for the future development of Bifrost.
 
This proposal is committed to capturing more BNC value by locking the bbBNC token, forming a positive growth flywheel, and deeply binding the interests of token holders with the development of the Bifrost protocol. In short, as the growth engine of Bifrost, bbBNC will motivate the community to make more contributions to the prosperity of the protocol.
 
So, how does bbBNC work, what benefits will holding it bring, and what major reforms will Bifrost usher in? After reading this proposal, I believe you, like me, are full of expectations and confidence for Bifrost 2.0.
 
The following is the full content of the proposal:
 
Overview
 
Bifrost is a mobile staking application tailored for all blockchains using the Polkadot SDK. Bifrost is currently the largest mobile staking protocol on Polkadot, Kusama, Astar, Moonbeam, and Manta. The total locked volume (TVL) is $63 million, and the annual protocol revenue is about $1.50 million. Its token BNC has a fixed publishing volume of 80 million and no inflation.
 
In the second half of 2024, the core task of the Bifrost team is to launch Bifrost 2.0. This major update includes several key initiatives.
 
Bifrost will launch its new token economy model.
 
Completed cross-chain integration and merger of Bifrost Kusama and Bifrost Polkadot parallel chains.
 
Achieve decentralization of the Bifrost Polkadot Collator node set.
 
Ensure compatibility with the EVM ecosystem and establish cross-chain connections with Ethereum and its L2.
 
Launch BNC 2.0 launch event.
 
In the field of cryptocurrency, there is a viewpoint that believes tokens are a greater invention than blockchain technology itself. This statement may sound sensational, but it reminds us that token economic design is crucial for the success of cryptocurrency protocols and even broader enterprises.
 
In order to further expand Bifrost's market share in the mobile staking track and bind BNC holders more closely to the Bifrost protocol, this new BNC economic model is proposed to stimulate the launch of the Bifrost growth flywheel by binding the revenue sharing of the Bifrost protocol with BNC governance and staking functions.
 
Proposal
 
This proposal proposes to use 100% of the profits from the Bifrost protocol to repurchase BNC, with 90% distributed to bbBNC holders and the remaining 10% destroyed. bbBNC is short for Buy Back BNC and is an escrow token used to share protocol profits.
 
What is bbBNC?
 
Users can obtain vBNC through mobile staking BNC, and then lock this vBNC to obtain bbBNC. The number of bbBNCs obtained by the user depends on the number of locked vBNCs and the length of the lock period.
 
bbBNC is non-transferable and locked vBNC can be redeemed after expiration. However, bbBNC can be redeemed before expiration, but users may face a reduction for redeeming earlier than the set date. The reduction will be fully recognized as agreement revenue and participate in BNC repurchase, destruction, and bbBNC incentives.
 
The benefits of holding bbBNC
 
· Profit distribution : bbBNC holders will share the agreement profits. The distribution ratio depends on the number of bbBNCs held and the length of the lock-up period. The larger the holding and the longer the lock-up period, the higher the profit distribution share obtained.
 
· Staking reward : bbBNC obtained by locking vBNC integrates the staking reward from the Bifrost mobile staking token vBNC.
 
· Governance rights: bbBNC inherits the governance rights of BNC, allowing holders to participate in the governance of the Bifrost protocol.
 
· Enhanced mining : bbBNC holders can receive additional incentives when participating in vToken mining.
 
Bifrost agreement revenue sources
 
· vToken Commission : The protocol earns a commission from staking rewards through its mobile staking service, which is then transferred to the protocol treasury. This is an important part of Bifrost's revenue.
 
· System Staking: This is generated by staking assets within the Bifrost system account.
 
· Tx fees : As an independent application chain, Bifrost charges gas fees for transactions on the Bifrost chain. A portion of these fees is allocated to the Bifrost treasury.
 
· vToken exchange fee : Bifrost has established a dedicated LST stablecoin exchange pool for vToken. Users can exchange vToken in this pool, and the Tx fee paid will mainly belong to the liquidity provider (LP), and will also be shared with bbBNC holders.
 
· Expanded application revenue : Bifrost will also launch various extended application services centered on mobile staking, including LST Leveraged Staking (Loop Stake). Users who use these services will generate revenue for the Bifrost protocol, thereby providing returns for bbBNC holders.
 
· bbBNC early redemption reduction : If bbBNC redeems before maturity, a certain reduction will be generated, and the reduction will be fully included in the agreement revenue.
 
How to get bbBNC:
 
Lock vBNC and obtain bbBNC. The value of bbBNC is proportional to the amount and duration of the pledge (up to 4 years). Each address has a separate expiration date for bbBNC, which cannot be transferred.
 
BNC -> vBNC -> bbBNC
 
The value of bbBNC is a key indicator for participating in dividends. Simply put, the higher the proportion of bbBNC value in the overall, the more share you may receive in various bbBNC holdings.
 
Your bbBNC value will decrease over time, and once the lock-up period ends, it will reach zero. At this point, the vBNC you staked will be unlocked.
 
Redeem bbBNC in advance to unlock vBNC.
 
For users who need to unlock bbBNC immediately to retrieve locked vBNC in advance, Bifrost provides a way to unlock in advance. However, this requires a certain reduction, which is related to the time of early redemption. The relevant formula is as follows:
 
Redemption reduction percentage = ((number of remaining locked blocks + 2,628,000)/10,512,000) ^ 2
The vBNC that users can obtain by unlocking in advance = locked vBNC * (1 - redemption reduction percentage)
 
bbBNC Growth Flywheel
 
Higher BNC value capture leads to higher market value of Bifrost, which promotes more LST application scenarios. More application scenarios will promote the improvement of vToken comprehensive yield (pledge yield + vToken re-pledge yield), resulting in more vToken minting. More vToken minting means more protocol revenue, which will enhance the return of bbBNC holders, further capture more value for BNC, and form a positive growth flywheel. bbBNC is the engine of this growth flywheel, closely integrating the interests of token holders with the Bifrost protocol, providing greater impetus for the common development of the Bifrost protocol.
 
Bifrost 2.0 Progress and Roadmap
 
Bifrost 2.0 upgrade has been officially launched. The development of bbBNC core logic code has been completed and is in the testing phase. Currently, the functions, parameters, and allocation methods of BNC 2.0 are still in the draft stage. Please express your expectations and suggestions here, or you can join the community to get the latest updates.
 
Written at the end:
 
After reading the entire proposal, I can't help but admire the ingenuity of the Bifrost team in designing the token economy. The design of bbBNC can be described as ingenious. It cleverly aligns the interests of token holders with the development of the protocol by locking BNC and obtaining protocol benefits in proportion. Holding bbBNC can not only obtain BNC staking income and liquidity mining income, but also share Bifrost's growing protocol income. More importantly, bbBNC holders will become the backbone of Bifrost's decentralized governance and have a greater voice over the future development of the protocol.
 
In addition, Bifrost 2.0 will bring a series of major upgrades, including merging Kusama and Polkadot parallel chains, achieving decentralized Collator nodes, and compatibility with the EVM ecosystem. These measures will greatly enhance Bifrost's cross-chain capabilities and scalability, attracting more projects and users to join the Bifrost ecosystem.
