1inch Foundation provided another distribution of the 1INCH token.

The distribution scheme applied to Mooniswap (revamped to 1inch Liquidity Protocol in December, 2020), some wallets with transaction relayers and limit order users, as well as to some providers of liquidity to 1inch pools who did not receive tokens they were entitled to in the initial Christmas distribution.

In addition, the 1inch Foundation distributed 6 mln 1INCH tokens to Uniswap’s non-relayed traders who have never swapped tokens on 1inch nor on Mooniswap.

Nassim Taleb: "I've been getting rid of my BTC. Why? A currency is never supposed to be more volatile than what you buy & sell with it.
You can't price goods in BTC

In that respect, it's a failure (at least for now). It was taken over by Covid denying sociopaths w/the sophistication of amoebas"

The HOPR Token Launch.

Phase 1 — Pre-sale (Feb 21st-23rd).
Anyone in the Genesis DAO can purchase HOPR at a pre-sale price of 0.05 xDAI.
Personal cap: $800

Phase 2 — Balancer LBP (Feb 24th-27th).
30m HOPR plus any unsold HOPR from Phase 1 will be placed into a Balancer Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool (LBP), balanced against the DAI (converted from xDAI) raised in Phase 1.
This ratio will set the initial price.

Phase 3 — Uniswap Pool (Feb 27th-Ongoing).
Once the Balancer LBP concludes, the funds (both DAI and HOPR) will be transferred in their entirety into a Uniswap pool. In addition, 5m HOPR from the original Public Launch Allocation of 85m will be placed in the pool to provide liquidity mining incentives over a three-month period.
