maharaja: The Standard

The Standard

The Standard Token (TST) is a utility token central to The Standard Protocol, a cutting-edge DeFi lending platform. TST offers features such as earning a share of minting and burning fees, providing ongoing rewards for users involved in loans globally. TST holders also enjoy a 10% discount on exclusive access to liquidated assets, enhancing the token's value proposition.

The utility of TST extends to various platform functions, including collateral alarms, trading locked collateral, and enabling the sale of smart vaults as NFTs. The use of TST in these functionalities results in token burning, contributing to its scarcity and long-term sustainability.

Functioning as a governance token, TST empowers holders to actively participate in shaping the platform's future. This community-driven approach ensures alignment with user interests and ongoing innovation in the dynamic DeFi landscape.

TST holders are motivated by staking rewards, distributed from protocol income sources such as minting fees, burning fees, and fees from the Protocol-Controlled Value (PCV) in liquidity pools. Exclusive access to the liquidation pool further incentivizes staking. To qualify for rewards, TST stakers engage in activities like voting on governance issues and promoting The Standard, actively contributing to the ecosystem's stability and growth.

As the Standard ecosystem expands, incorporating new financial instruments like Multiply Vaults, additional income streams are expected, providing more incentives for TST holders to stake and reducing the token's available supply in secondary markets. This unique staking approach offers users a compelling and potentially lucrative engagement with the future of decentralized finance while actively participating in its development.

The governance concept of The Standard Protocol emphasizes security, decentralization, and efficiency. All Standard Token (TST) holders have the authority to participate in the governance system. Off-chain voting on snapshot.org is used, where voting power is directly proportional to the number of tokens held, aligning with game theory principles to discourage detrimental actions by large token holders. This structure aims to achieve a critical mass of token holders for decentralization and stakeholder protection.

TST holders actively participate in the governance process, shaping the protocol's future to meet the evolving needs of decentralized finance. Each TST allows its holder to cast votes on multiple subjects simultaneously, empowering them to influence various aspects of the protocol.

Governance subjects include adding and modifying features, expanding collateral types, managing the Standard DAO treasury, initiating emergency shutdowns, and proposing Standard Improvement Proposals (SIPs). The DAO oversees the treasury, using a multi-signature wallet to prevent a single point of failure, and can vote on emergency shutdowns to address severe market failure or vulnerabilities. TST holders can develop SIPs, and the DAO discusses and votes on them.

The user-friendly interface of The Standard Protocol aims to provide a seamless experience for creating and managing Smart Vaults, enhancing the overall appeal and usability of the ecosystem. TST holders actively contribute to shaping the protocol's future, making it an attractive, resilient, and innovative DeFi ecosystem.
