About Chainlink (LINK)

The Basics of Chainlink

Chainlink is a blockchain protocol operating a decentralized oracle network (DON) that seeks to bridge the gap between on-chain and off-chain systems. The project accomplishes this by creating oracles that connect to companies or blockchains via API and deliver real-time price data.

Tokenomics

Chainlink (LINK) is used as a payment token to pay node operators for providing oracle services. It’s also used as a work token to be staked by node operators as collateral to provide oracle services. Initial supply is capped at 1 billion LINK tokens, with 35% going to investors, 35% reserved as incentives for network participants, and 30% allocated to LINK’s parent company.

About Curve DAO (CRV)

The Basics of Curve DAO

Curve is a decentralized exchange for trading cryptocurrency assets, similar to Uniswap. The key difference is that on Uniswap, you can swap any ERC-20 token (as long as there’s liquidity), whereas Curve is specifically for trading stablecoins on Ethereum. Curve enables fast, efficient, and low-friction stablecoin swaps.

Tokenomics

Curve (CRV) is a native governance token. The total supply is capped at 3.03 billion CRV tokens. During the initial token distribution, one million CRV tokens were released per day until 1.3 billion CRV tokens in total were in circulation. After that the distribution schedule is reduced by 2.25x per year with all tokens being fully distributed in 2320.

About MakerDAO (MKR)

The Basics of MakerDAO

MakerDAO is an innovative open financial system that mints Dai stablecoins backed by crypto collateral. MakerDAO is a decentralized bank of the future and the entire system runs on the Ethereum blockchain, is decentralized, and is taken care of by smart contracts.

Tokenomics

MakerDAO (MKR) is a governance token and also used to purchase excess DAI stablecoins from collateral or surplus auctions. Once the auctions are concluded, the protocol burns the MKR earned. There were one million MKR tokens at launch. MKR is burned or increased in supply depending on how much debt is on the platform (loans) or how much DAI tokens are in circulation.

About Filecoin (FIL)

The Basics of Filecoin

Filecoin is an open-source cloud storage marketplace, protocol, and incentive layer built on a decentralized storage network. FIL allows anyone to buy or sell storage space on the network, creating a global data storage system that is safe, cost-effective, and scalable.

Tokenomics

Filecoin (FIL) is used to participate and transact in the Filecoin network. It is capped at two billion FIL and 70% of the total supply is allocated to Filecoin miners. FIL will be released over time to reward providers of data storage, maintain the blockchain, distribute data, and run applications.
