(AXV)

Astrovault is a hybrid AMM and DAO in the Cosmos ecosystem that utilizes a "monetized liquidity" model. Unlike traditional decentralized exchanges that often rely on high inflation to attract liquidity, Astrovault uses liquid staking derivatives as base pairs. This allows the protocol to capture staking rewards from underlying Layer-1 chains, creating "Protocol Earned Liquidity" (PEL) that backs the AXV token, fostering a more sustainable economic environment.

Astrovault utilizes specialized 1:1 stable swap pools, known as Plasma Stable pools, which facilitate nearly zero-slippage trades. These pools are specifically designed for swaps between a native asset and its liquid staking derivative, such as ARCH and xARCH. This mechanism ensures users can move between these highly correlated assets efficiently without the price impact typically associated with standard liquidity pools.

Users can maximize AXV staking rewards by utilizing lock duration multipliers; longer commitment periods result in a higher multiplier on the base rewards. Currently, rewards do not compound automatically; users must manually claim and re-stake their earnings to benefit from compounding. Additionally, the platform offers different pool types: Nebula Standard pools use fees for AXV buybacks and burns, while Plasma Stable pools retain fees as Protocol Owned Liquidity.

The total supply of AXV is 200 million tokens. The distribution is strategically allocated to ensure long-term growth, with 40% dedicated to the Community Pool. Core contributors are allocated 20% of the supply, which is subject to a one-year cliff and a three-year vesting schedule. Airdrop eligibility has historically been tied to participation in the Outbid launchpad or providing liquidity to specific network pools.

Outbid is Astrovault's gamified launchpad featuring a "micro-sale" auction model. In these auctions, the token price increases slightly with each bid. It is designed to be interactive: the final bidder in a round wins a prize or specific allocation, while other participants receive tokens at the current price level. There are also initiatives to expand this model as a franchise to support sustainable fundraising for broader ecosystem projects.

Astrovault is built on the CosmWasm framework, with core contracts like "Time Flux" undergoing security audits. As AXV is a Cosmos-native CW-20 token, users interact with it via compatible chain-specific addresses. The platform uses "Permits" to allow users to view their portfolios without incurring gas fees, requiring a secure signature instead. To mitigate risk, the Plasma pools are specifically engineered to prevent impermanent loss between native assets and their appreciating staking derivatives.
