Vision

Below are some core tenets of focus on what we feel will make this project successful in the long term.

BE EQUITABLE

Be part of a platform that is profitable and is long-term aligned with its users, including a strong and equitable tokenomic foundation. A few focus points: Allocate as much of the revenue as possible to LPs and token holders. There should be direct incentive to hold the token beyond just speculation. No gimmicks, no points, just tokens. Rewards should be direct, and easy to understand, not shrouded by complexity. Have a linear, highly predictable emissions schedule for all. Everyone should be aligned for the long haul. Create a natural up-only environment driven by actual usage and scarcity. Reward early users and reward active users. All incentives should be driven to promote positive interactions with the protocol. Give users control over the project. Voting rights for all, more voting rights for long term believers.

BE FAST AND EFFICIENT

Solana was chosen so trades can execute quickly and conveniently, backed by cutting edge infrastructure (like quality RPCs). Adrena prioritizes Tx handling with staked validators, optimised on-chain instructions, and the least amount of indirection/proxy possible. This means no "request fulfilment model" or delays that diminish the user experience and hinder composability.

BE SIMPLE

Solana gives the ability to provide the best retail experience second to none. Be it for the UX/UI or for the codebase and Adrena was built keeping things simple and easy to use. When you want leverage, we want you to come to Adrena!

BE COMPOSABLE AND WIDELY INTEGRATED

While there is an obligation to ensure alignment and quality > quantity, the goal should be a thriving ecosystem which Adrena is a part of. Thus Adrena could be integrated with as many projects in the community as possible. Adrena will have a strong grants opportunity that will power this system. Advanced features or integrations from external contributors are open to integration/inclusion/collaboration and anyone with ideas or efforts is encouraged to create a ticket in discord for progression.

BE RESILIENT

A good platform should be built on trust. In our world that means trust in code. Consistent audits -when changes occur- are imperatively necessary.

BE TRANSPARENT

Token holders have a vested long-term interest in the protocol. While the core team and early contributors have majority of decision-power in early days to ensure quick iteration, ADX emissions will slowly overtake these initial guard rails through platform usage, and the majority of tokens will be in the hands of the community. All vests, and governance power, is handled at the smart contract level: no bamboozle, full transparency (see Governance for more details).
