COOK Protocol

COOK Protocol

Cook Protocol Overview

Cook Protocol is built on an Ethereum blockchain that establishes a generic asset management platform, providing investors with a selection of asset management vehicles from fund managers. Funds can be managed passively or actively through whitelisted DeFi protocols. For each investment fund, a unique ERC-20 token – proportional to their contribution to the fund – is issued to investors. Investors can divest the tokens any time in exchange for the equivalent underlying asset.

An investor invests crypto assets accepted by a particular fund in exchange for ERC20 tokens, representing partial ownership of the fund. The ERC-20 token, or ckToken, is unique to each fund and can be exchanged among investors or redeemed for its underlying assets within the fund. The concept of a ckToken is similar to a share in the stock market, especially with financial products such as exchange traded funds (ETFs). Thus, a ckToken equates to a percentage of ownership in an investment fund with a value proportional to the investment fund’s value. For each investment fund, its ERC-20 tokens become fungible assets that can then be traded among investors, providing convenience and reducing transaction fees

A fund manager initializes a fund by defining an overall strategy and fee structure, accepting assets and access limits to each of the whitelisted DeFi protocols. Cook Protocol allows fund managers to describe investment strategies to attract suitable investors. Funds are then pooled from investors into a smart contract so that the fund manager can allocate passively by following a specific index or actively by managing multiple financial product streams

For each investment fund, the fund manager is granted with the proper permissions according to the given smart contract, which allows the manager to allocate funds to the whitelisted DeFi protocols, such as Compound, 0x, and Synthetix. The amount of funds allocated to each DeFi protocol cannot exceed a pre-determined limit and can only be revised through fund-level governance. In return for providing asset management services, the fund manager is compensated via a fee-based model, wherein investors take all gains and losses while paying a fixed fee to the fund manager. While each transaction within the fund market is transparent, the actual investment strategy can remain opaque to the outside world to spur innovation.

By default, fund managers will pay 2% when they claim the management fees. Fund managers do not need to pay platform fees if they decide to withdraw their management fees in COOK tokens; 100% of the platform fees are then redistributed to COOK token holders who actively contribute to our ecosystem. The platform fees are subject to change as per the community governance in the future.

 

COOK Token

COOK token is a governance token that allows token holders to shape the future of COOK protocol. The token holders can submit proposals and vote to start incentive programs to grow the ecosystem, improve the governance structure, and upgrade the platform. More details about governance will be explained in the Governance section

Apart from governance, COOK tokens can be used to pay platform fees on Cook Protocol. When investors decide to invest in a popular fund, they will need to pay COOK tokens in advance. When a fund manager initializes funds, they will also need to stake a certain amount of COOK tokens. In addition, when a fund manager decides to claim management fees, they need to pay 2% of the management fees as platform fees.

COOK token holders can potentially share the direct and indirect benefits derived from the platform fees. For instance, the token holders can collectively decide to adjust the platform fees and distribute them to token holders or use them to buy back COOK token in the open markets
