Fud vs Reality from Team Buffer

1/
FUD: Roadmap has not been complete
Reality: Community governance is not introduced to build features faster.
Buy Backs, and CEX listing is in pipeline but has to be strategically planned else it might go against token holders' interest. Everything else in the ROADMAP is done.

2/
FUD: Option prices are not benchmarked
Reality: ATM prices of all the crypto assets are very close to Deribit prices. Recently, prices were a little high due to increased IVs, and high liquidity utilization.

3/
FUD: There is a lack of communication
Reality: All questions by community members are answered in the group within a few minutes.

4/
FUD: Token supply is high
Reality: <15% of the tokens have been released, and a large percentage of it is staked in the revenue share pool.

5/
FUD: Marketing is not being done
Reality: There is regular PR coverage. Announcements will be more frequent as we release a revised Roadmap. We have already started #Buffercontentarmy to scale our content release.

6/
FUD: There is no liquidity
Reality: More than 50% of liquidity is available right now to buy options - only in case of very high demand the liquidity was unavailable. We are in advanced talks already to get more liquidity in the system.

7/
FUD: No new features are being developed
Reality: A new roadmap has been prepared based on community feedback, and Devs are already building many advanced features. Details soon to follow.

We will also organize an AMA to answer other product, marketing, and content-related queries in the coming week after our new roadmap has been released.

🔈Hi everyone, here's the first glance at some of the upcoming features.

1. For Option buyers.
- Trigger Price and Stop Loss for $iBFR holders
- Better Pricing adjustment - based on liquidity utilization with separate CALL/PUT IVs

2. For liquidity providers/ Yield seekers
- Strategic Vaults for selling covered calls and puts on different assets
- Risk-adjusted liquidity pool with embedded capital insurance & $iBFR farming (So no separate staking)
- Additional yield on collateral by cross staking on other yield farms
- Adjustable lockup period - to be decided by governance

3. For $iBFR holders & community members
- Membership NFTs & DAO treasury launch
- $iBFR covered calls
- Adding time lock incentive to $iBFR revenue-sharing pool. The longer the tokens are locked higher the revenue share and power to vote.

All the above features will be implemented over the Q1/Q2 of this year - timelines & exact details will follow soon.
Our top priority is to start liquidity mining on Avax & launch on the Aurora chain followed by covered calls & cash puts for $iBFR, ETH, and native tokens of partner projects.

Stay Tuned!

🔈Hi @everyone,

AMA, for community members, will be organized between the 7th of March and 14th of March.

Right now, we are opening a question submission window that will stay open till the 6th of March at 23.55 UTC. If you have any questions regarding product development, team vision, upcoming events/partnerships. You can add them all in the google form using the link below.

👉 https://forms.gle/u7DF3oA89Uy6Z9GH6

Make sure to read the rules before submitting your questions. We will announce the exact date for AMA after the submission window has been closed.

🔈 Hi @everyone,

The AMA for community members will be held on 14th of March 2022 at 16:00 UTC

@feyman101 will address all the questions + there will be a 30 mins session where you can ask your questions in the group itself.

Hi @everyone, we will have to postpone the live session of AMA to tomorrow 16:00 UTC - We will be launching the Testnet for BNB covered calls today followed by AETH (Aurora) covered calls tomorrow on Aurora Testnet.

Meanwhile, answer to the questions submitted by the community members will be posted in the group itself. You can ask follow up questions tomorrow directly from @feyman101 when the live session starts.

Thanks & cheers!

🔈 Hi @everyone,

Our call booster (covered call) for BNB is now live on the Testnet

👉 https://testnet.buffer.finance/BSC/call-boosters

Note: Keep option size less than <0.01 BNB to get the write breakeven and premium

We will soon be releasing on BSC Mainnet along with Aurora Testnet.

Hi @everyone,

AETH call boosters (Covered calls) are now live on Aurora Testnet.

👉 https://testnet.buffer.finance/AURORA/call-boosters

You can claim your testnet AETH here - > https://aurora.dev/faucet

They have AETH for Mainnet as well 😊

🔈🔈Update on CEX listing

Recently, there have been a lot of discussion around CEX listing in the group. We are in touch with a few well known exchanges for $iBFR listing but have finally decided to defer it. Majorly, because of two reasons.

1️⃣ As announced earlier, we will be shifting to $iBFR based liquidity pool for prediction markets which will casue a very significant shift in demand of $iBFR token. CEX listing might skew this demand (because most CEX traders are not Defi users).

2️⃣ Another important reason to not list right now is that we are working on increasing $iBFR liquidity by many folds to reduce slippage on DEXes this should contain the selling pressure when we do list on a CEX.

For now we plan to list in Q2 of this year but that's subject to changes based on how the V2 launch goes and how the Roadmap evolves over time.

Hi @eveyone, The new Buffer UI/UX is here.

It says V2 on the App but that's not the V2 yet.

The Roadmap will also be updated on the landing page in sometime.

Official announcement coming soon! for the new V2 after some quick changes.🚀

Buffer Bi-Weekly Update

Hi @everyone! The Team has been busy continuing work on implementing the new features and products we’ve got planned in our 2022 Roadmap.

4) Some key partnerships in BNB chain and Aurora Ecosystem

Thanks Buffer fam and hope you have a great week!

Hi @eveyone,

$iBFR call booster and DDOV is now live on BNB chain Mainnet

🔸 Vault - https://app.buffer.finance/BSC/vault?address=0xa3c5b2F4A1a261026fe85A6e5E658Cc062dAa2db

🔸Call Booster - https://app.buffer.finance/BSC/call-booster

$iBFR holders who b3lieve $iBFR might not go above $0.14 by next week can deposit their $iBFR to earn yield

📢Buffer Bi-Weekly Update!

Hi @everyone!

We hope everyone in the Buffer community is doing ok. We understand that the times are challenging considering the rocky macro market conditions. The winter feels chilly, but don't forget that crypto has existed through several winters, and it has come out stronger every day. We believe this cycle will be no different. So don't forget to zoom out and WAGMI.

Here at Buffer, your team is doing what we do the best - Building. We've been focused on implementing the V2.0 flagships (you already know of one, and we're just getting started).

Let's look at the progress made so far:

1) Dynamic Option Vaults are now live on the Aurora Network!

Our DDVOs have already been deployed on Aurora Network. Deploying on Aurora was strategic considering the bolstering economy of traders and LPs on the network. Not to mention Aurora is one of the hottest chains today, offering 1 sec block time and 0 txn. costs.

We've announced the event on both the Buffer Finance and Aurora Network Twitter accounts!

Don't forget to show your love, anon by Liking, tweeting, or commenting!

2) Implemented UI/UX updates to the Buffer app interface

Improving user experience and intuitiveness on the dApp is a constant endeavor. Following that, we recently added the following tracking/analytics tools on the dApp:
✅ TradingView charts
✅ ROI-Expected Price Charts for the Call Boosters
✅... and several more tooltips to help you navigate better

Here are a few key tasks that we're working on and hope to share with you all soon:

1) Buffer Prime NFTs Announcement
2) Development of KPI options and other exotic options
3) Project partnerships for launching DDOVs for other projects

Thanks for tuning in Buffer fam. Hope you have a great week! 🙏
