            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*zrWI1GMKWLqyyXh-" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/">BlockCentral</a></figcaption></figure><p>Everyone in cryptocurrency came from somewhere in the traditional world. No one woke up 14 years ago, a fully formed adult, knowing only <a href="https://bitcoin.org/en/">Bitcoin</a> and blockchain. Many protocols in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) space forget that and often purposefully avoid acknowledging it.</p><p>By limiting our discussion of DeFi to catchy buzzwords, we build barriers that many laypeople cannot overcome. With <a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/">BlockCentral</a>, we want to honor the traditions of long-established markets and systems we all know and leverage their understanding to help DeFi become the next great hub of passive income.</p><p><strong><em>Sidebar:</em></strong><em> For those wondering, ‘TradFi’ means ‘traditional finance’—your stocks, bonds, commodities, and hedge fund types of finance. ‘DeFi,’ decentralized finance, has mostly come to mean ‘any finance activity within the crypto space, regardless of how centralized or decentralized it really is.’</em></p><h3>Population Density</h3><p>DeFi can be described as a small, highly dense city. There is a lot of activity, things change quickly, and new shiny destinations get built in the blink of an eye. We’re packing into trendy clubs and restaurants, seeing familiar faces, and enjoying the comradery and sometimes the gains. We share battle scars from previous rugs and speculate on the next big trend.</p><p>But stop and look around. The same people, in the same collection of destinations, all talking in the same casual yet technical vernacular. At the same time, you wonder, “Why don’t more people realize how good we have it?” Then the light bulb goes off. We are passionate, but we are few. We need to grow the borders of DeFi City.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*lK8zllUDz_WGBrInipM6Sw.jpeg" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/">BlockCentral</a></figcaption></figure><h3>Building Bridges</h3><p>In the ad agency industry, executives tell their copywriters not to create content above a 4th-grade reading level. They know that is the most effective level for maximum comprehension for the public. That’s not a jab at the general intelligence of the world, but it is a reminder that we need to do more in DeFi to change how we communicate outside of our tribes.</p><p><strong>If we want mass adoption, we must speak in a way the masses will understand. </strong>We can begin this process by spending more time translating what we are building into terms and ideas that they understand. DeFi isn’t alien technology. It was built by humans, for humans. We can talk effectively about space with almost everyone if we choose the right ideas and words.</p><h3>BlockCentral</h3><p>In the simplest terms, using traditional finance as a starting point, BlockCentral would be akin to a crypto <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/hedgefund.asp#toc-what-is-a-hedge-fund">hedge fund</a>. From there, we can equate that to the <em>DeFi Fund</em>, which is unique to BlockCentral. This means the assets within the fund are exclusively crypto-based instead of the bonds, equities, securities, etc. found in a traditional hedge fund.</p><p>If you’re ‘crypto curious’ and want to get involved in this space, the concept of a DeFi Fund will feel far more accessible than a ‘wrapped leveraged liquidity yield farm.’ I just made that up, but it sounds real to us, and traditional finance brains would shut off reading those five words.</p><p>However, there are two sides to a bridge. We can’t shift fully towards the traditional world without giving DeFi a chance to migrate as well. It is a compromise, after all. Phase 1 of BlockCentral is still DeFi-heavy, with staking and yield farming. However, simplifying these basic concepts makes the psychological barrier to entry more attainable.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*ows9YQi2i3M2OBQ62yBxRA.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/">BlockCentral</a></figcaption></figure><h3>Future of DeFi</h3><p>It is our job as creators to make our services and innovations as appealing as possible to as many people as possible. Widen your user base, grow your borders, and meet people where they are. The BlockCentral team believes DeFi will evolve to resemble the TradFi world. Especially as the two worlds continue to merge and coalesce, but with some key differences.</p><p>There will be more innovation in DeFi, where new instruments and earning opportunities present themselves more quickly. This flexibility breeds opportunity. DeFi presents better earning potential than almost anything TradFi can offer. Because of this, DeFi will dominate the near future of retail and small institutional finance as long as we can provide them with a clear and easy-to-understand on-ramp.</p><p>BlockCentral is pushing that process forward, and with the help of other great partners, a new paradigm will be established to permanently bridge TradFi tradition and DeFi dominance for the good of both financial worlds.</p><p><strong>To find out more about BlockCentral:</strong><br>Website: <a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/">https://www.blockcentral.io/</a><br>Documentation: <a href="https://docs.blockcentral.io/blockcentral">https://docs.blockcentral.io/blockcentral</a><br>BVC NFTs: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/4mrw368w">https://tinyurl.com/4mrw368w</a></p><p><strong>Social Media for BlockCentral:</strong><br>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/blockcentral_pa">https://twitter.com/blockcentral_pa</a><br>Discord: <a href="https://discord.gg/blockcentral">https://discord.gg/blockcentral</a><br>Telegram: <a href="https://t.me/blockcentral">https://t.me/blockcentral</a><br>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@BlockCentral">https://www.youtube.com/@BlockCentral</a><br>LinkTree: <a href="https://linktr.ee/blockcentral">https://linktr.ee/blockcentral</a></p><p><em>BlockCentral Inc. is a Panama-based company focused on advancing blockchain adoption and education.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*_J3aNxdTY2Bistao" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/">BlockCentral</a></figcaption></figure><p>There is that moment in every protocol where someone asks the inevitable question, “How do I make money on this?” It is usually the first thing they ask and the only thing they care about. But wait, this is crypto; <em>we’re just here for the technology</em>, right? …right?</p><p>Of course we are here to make some money! You can choose the lottery ticket route, chasing memecoin dreams and parabolic charts. Or you can choose the more long-term investment style of crypto, the one where, over time, you’ll earn strong, sustainable returns.</p><p>With that being said, welcome to <a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/"><strong>BlockCentral</strong></a>.</p><h3>Introduction to Earning</h3><p>BlockCentral is a DeFi Fund made up exclusively of on-chain digital assets. In traditional finance, something like a hedge fund charges management and performance fees. This structure exists in BlockCentral through the taxes associated with the main utility token (BLOC) and its features.</p><p>However, unlike a traditional funds, BlockCentral uses <a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/principal-resonance"><strong>Principal Resonance</strong></a> to push significant portions of those fees and revenue through the ecosystem and paid back to those engaged in the Holding, Staking, and Farming of BLOC.</p><p><strong><em>Disclaimer:</em></strong><em> Projections are for Year One if a user were to fully compound rewards. Stasis recommends users take profit via </em><a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/dynamic-strategies"><em>Dynamic Strategies</em></a><em> and proper portfolio management. Projections are not financial advice. In practice, rewards and APYs are variable, dependent on trading volume and DeFi Fund revenue.</em></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*F4Jbd8g0DYwlLmMOOwokkA.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/">BlockCentral</a></figcaption></figure><h3>Buying and Holding BLOC</h3><p>The simplest strategy of BlockCentral is buying and holding the <a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/bloc">BLOC token</a>. The mother token of the BlockCentral ecosystem; all rewards and fees run through BLOC to power the protocol and the DeFi Fund. BLOC has a 3% Buy Tax and 3% Sell Tax.</p><p>The mechanics of the BlockCentral protocol makes the token hyper-deflationary. This means the token supply is aggressively reducing at all times. With no way to mint new tokens, the scarcity of tokens will drive strong value increases in the BLOC token over time.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*9A0g8MC7Y6vl1QoQR9akkg.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/earn">Staking BLOC</a></figcaption></figure><h3>Single Stake BLOC</h3><p>For some, they want to ‘do’ something with their BLOC tokens besides simply holding them. BlockCentral provides several opportunities for holders to put their tokens to work. This begins with the ‘<a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/earn"><strong>Single Staking</strong></a>’ feature. Holders can commit their tokens to the staking pool and earn additional rewards.</p><p>The Single Staking feature has a 3% Deposit and 3% Withdrawal Fee. The Single Staking pool benefits from BLOC Buy and Sell Taxes, as well as the Deposit and Withdrawal Fee. Long-term participants in the ecosystem can see strong growth in their token count without risk of impermanent loss.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*KPca3FfW3mW-YgDHpG-LNw.png" /></figure><h3>Yield Farming</h3><p>There is one yield farm in BlockCentral. Yield farms are a way to provide liquidity for a protocol, a healthy and vital task. Because of this, farmers earn the lion’s share of rewards from the protocol.</p><p>The yield farms have a 3% Deposit and 3% Withdrawal Fee. Farms have exposure to impermanent loss (IL), but the impact is often negligible long term. To account for potential of IL, rewards paid to liquidity providers are noticeably higher than single staking.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*4gPnFMzdgr2XzOWM9rvUSQ.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/nfts">BlockCentral Viking Collection</a></figcaption></figure><h3>BlockCentral Viking Collection NFTs</h3><p>One of the most exciting ancillary features of the BlockCentral ecosystem is the BlockCentral Viking Collection. The artwork was designed by our Marketing Director Ian, using MidJourney, then heavily edited to enhance the artwork, and we embed branding in up to 40% of the imagery.</p><p>BVC NFTs earn weekly lifetime rewards, with <strong>a projected APR of 30–60%</strong>. The rewards come from a smart contract with token supply locked in it. Due to the mechanics of the contract, the contract decays a small % weekly, releasing rewards to the NFT holders.</p><p>BlockCentral is designed for long-term participation. Like a traditional fund, time in the fund will almost certainly outpace trying to time the fund. Using <strong>Dynamic Strategies</strong> will help keep volume flowing through the protocol, keeping additional rewards and burns occurring automatically. This type of resonance allows for every part of the ecosystem to help each other, and in turn, themselves.</p><p>This can be the power, and profitability, of BlockCentral.</p><p><strong>To find out more about BlockCentral:</strong><br>Website: <a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/">https://www.blockcentral.io/</a><br>Documentation: <a href="https://docs.blockcentral.io/blockcentral">https://docs.blockcentral.io/blockcentral</a><br>BVC NFTs: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/4mrw368w">https://tinyurl.com/4mrw368w</a></p><p><strong>Social Media for BlockCentral:</strong><br>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/blockcentral_pa">https://twitter.com/blockcentral_pa</a><br>Discord: <a href="https://discord.gg/blockcentral">https://discord.gg/blockcentral</a><br>Telegram: <a href="https://t.me/blockcentral">https://t.me/blockcentral</a><br>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@BlockCentral">https://www.youtube.com/@BlockCentral</a><br>LinkTree: <a href="https://linktr.ee/blockcentral">https://linktr.ee/blockcentral</a></p><p><em>BlockCentral Inc. is a Panama-based company focused on advancing blockchain adoption and education.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Kl6ypHYfRx9H5OIA2VjH4g.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/nfts">BlockCentral Viking Collection</a></figcaption></figure><p>One of the most popular features of BlockCentral, since we launched publicly on May 15th, 2023, has been the <a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/nfts"><strong>BlockCentral Viking Collection (BVC) NFTs</strong></a>. We admit a DeFi Fund can feel kind of boring, so the team wanted to spice things up and add some story and lore to the protocol.</p><p>NFTs are a major market in cryptocurrency, and the BlockCentral team felt there was a way we could integrate this technology into the protocol that was additive in nature. This comes in the form of holders of the BVC being able to earn passive income just by possessing an NFT.</p><h3>Passive Income NFTs</h3><p>Owning an NFT that promises you passive income isn’t a new innovation. We’ve seen it for a couple years now with different mining NFTs, staking, etc. However, with BlockCentral, our NFTs offer users a weekly, lifetime payout from the token supply, which philosophically represents shares of the DeFi Fund.</p><p>Within BlockCentral, there is a smart contract exclusively for NFTs. In this contract, 19.1% of the total token supply is locked. Because BlockCentral Token (BLOC) is deflationary, we will always be burning supply. As supply goes down, it requires fewer tokens to maintain the 19.1% threshold.</p><p><em>75,000,000 Supply x 19.1% = 14,300,000<br>60,000,000 Supply x 19.1% = 11,400,000 — (Difference of 2,900,000)</em></p><p>The excess tokens above 19.1% are paid out to the NFT holders on a weekly basis. Because token burns are automated through tax contracts, including additional tokens deposited into the NFT contract, this is how we ensure NFT holders will continue to receive weekly passive income for life.</p><p><strong><em>The projected returns for holding an NFT is</em> 40–60% APR.</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*gKmc0OWUGLAypXUSQUTVZQ.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/nfts">BlockCentral VIking Collection</a></figcaption></figure><h3>Liquid Decaying Features</h3><p>Illiquid NFTs are no longer desirable. Most of them die out, or holders lose interest. Due to their illiquid design, many holders feel like hostages. With BVC, that changes now. An NFT holder can redeem it for a <strong>20% Redemption Tax</strong> if they need immediate access to their proportion of backing tokens in the contract.</p><p>As the protocol matures, burns naturally slow down, which will slow down NFT rewards. To combat this, the NFT contract will <strong>decay at a set percentage each week</strong>, releasing small additional rewards to NFT holders each week. The team has chosen and will continue to adjust this rate to optimize these rewards. It will take many years for the contract to be depleted.</p><h3>Viking Clans</h3><p>In an effort to expand the lore and fun associated with the NFT collection, the BlockCentral team has built out seven unique clans with their own features and characteristics within the BlockCentral Vikings. You can see them below or read more about them <a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/nfts">here</a>.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*kknuSgHFYDjjkfvEhbH4KQ.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/nfts">BlockCentral Viking Collection</a></figcaption></figure><p>As the protocol matures, more lore will be created to build out the world that the BVCs inhabit.</p><h3>Rare God/Goddess NFTs</h3><p>This collection wouldn’t be complete without a very small, rare group of NFTs that will be the belle of the ball within the BlockCentral Viking Collection. There are 10 rare NFTs, all 1-of-1 artworks with major benefits.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*B7Iu61ZfuiTq_u0O_Ry8Dw.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/nfts">BlockCentral Viking Collection</a></figcaption></figure><p>Not only will these NFTs benefit from the same rewards as a standard NFT, but any holder will have a special role within the community and permanent access to <strong>Asgard</strong> (a private channel for larger holders), where exclusive alpha is dropped regarding the protocol, DeFi Fund movement, and future developments.</p><p>Additionally, any God/Goddess NFTs holder will qualify for <strong><em>monthly airdrops of tokens between $50-$100</em></strong>. The amount will be randomized. This bonus will maintain the projected APR, despite the higher cost, to sustain the projected <strong>40–60<em>% APR. </em></strong>This golden group will be the pinnacle of the BlockCentral Viking Collection.</p><p>NFTs are a great way for a project like BlockCentral to reward holders, open up our brand to a new market sector, and add some character and fun to the traditional finance structure of funds. Through this variety, the team will build an eclectic and well-rounded community.</p><p><strong>To find out more about BlockCentral:</strong><br>Website: <a href="https://www.blockcentral.io/">https://www.blockcentral.io/</a><br>Documentation: <a href="https://docs.blockcentral.io/blockcentral">https://docs.blockcentral.io/blockcentral</a><br>BVC NFTs: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/4mrw368w">https://tinyurl.com/4mrw368w</a></p><p><strong>Social Media for BlockCentral:</strong><br>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/blockcentral_pa">https://twitter.com/blockcentral_pa</a><br>Discord: <a href="https://discord.gg/blockcentral">https://discord.gg/blockcentral</a><br>Telegram: <a href="https://t.me/blockcentral">https://t.me/blockcentral</a><br>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@BlockCentral">https://www.youtube.com/@BlockCentral</a><br>LinkTree: <a href="https://linktr.ee/blockcentral">https://linktr.ee/blockcentral</a></p><p><em>BlockCentral Inc. is a Panama-based company focused on advancing blockchain adoption and education.

Most of the work will be with yield farmers; the team will ensure any fees associated with the migration are removed during the time of change.</p><h4>Client Services</h4><p>BlockCentral will establish and grow a service for private investors in 2024 to utilize a version of their portfolio strategy and increase their revenues. Client fees will be used to benefit the core protocol and holders.</p><p>In exchange, the DeFi protocol (Stasis Network) needs to be trimmed down and simplified to improve the protocol’s learning curve for new holders and decrease the staff’s time required to maintain the protocol.</p><p>These changes don’t mean fewer rewards; quite the opposite. Despite reducing features, the protocol will continue providing holders with sustainable returns. The team expects to see an increase in long-range APYs and token value increase as the organization scales and revenues grow.</p><h4>Timeline</h4><p>When to expect: <strong>Second half of March 2024 into early April</strong>. There will be several updates and long runways provided for users. <strong>ONLY</strong> get information and updates from official sources, like <a href="https://discord.gg/stasisnetwork">Discord</a>/<a href="https://t.me/thestasisnetwork">Telegram</a>. Any other information should be disregarded and flagged.</p><h4>Remaining on Polygon</h4><p>BlockCentral will remain on the Polygon network. The speed and cost-effectiveness of the transactions are vital to maintaining the functions of the protocol, including the very popular Dynamic Strategies.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*i3voc7LpSZVPWimYlxRVsg.png" /><figcaption>#OnPolygon</figcaption></figure><h4>1 STS = 1 BLOC</h4><p>To make the transition as easy as possible, the new BlockCentral utility token (BLOC) will have the same value as the current Stasis Network utility token (STS). Current value parity will remain true from old to new.</p><h4>One Liquidity Pool</h4><p>Currently, STS’s liquidity is split between the MATIC and STS+ pools. This complicates transactions, requires arbitrage for price parity, and can be a time drain. By combining them into one liquidity pool, the perceived health of the token is strengthened, price impact and slippage are improved, and arbitrage and maintenance are no longer required.</p><h4>Paired with wETH</h4><p>STS is paired against MATIC. This will switch to wETH with BLOC. The largest liquidity pools with the most trading volume on L2s, like Polygon, are assets paired against wETH. Arbitrum, Optimism, and even Polygon, the biggest liquidity pools, are paired with wETH.</p><p>MATIC continues to be volatile and underperform against the market. Volatility is great for traders; however, it is not so great for pegging another asset’s value. The team prefers to have a backing that is more normalized so we can grow value against it, not only with it.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*IqAGQfYQu1u5cSQ3pSdF2Q.png" /><figcaption>MATIC &gt; wETH</figcaption></figure><h4>Reduced Taxes</h4><p>The current protocol is designed on a tax system with a 5% Buy Tax and a 10% Sell Tax. In theory, rewards come from collected taxes. However, in practice, this system relies more on selling, pressuring the value of the token downward.</p><p>The Buy Tax will be reduced from 5% to <strong>3%</strong>.<br>The Sell Tax will be reduced from 10% to <strong>3%</strong>.</p><p>Instead of being a source of rewards, BlockCentral will reduce the taxes and turn them into more of a ‘ticket to entry.’ This change will make the protocol more accessible to new users, and increase the perceived liquidity of holder’s tokens.</p><h4>Reduced Taxes ≠ Less Rewards</h4><p>In practice, the protocol’s rewards have primarily come from revenue, not taxes. Reduced taxes don’t mean users should expect fewer rewards. The percentage of tokens allocated for staking/farming will be increased. The projected reward increase is +50% for staking and +25% for farming from current levels.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*H4LERZ4dh09P5T04VqsyIg.png" /><figcaption>Reward Increases</figcaption></figure><h4>No More Protocol Sells</h4><p>In the current system, 40% of taxes collected and distributed are sold for MATIC and sent back to the protocol. That capital is always used by the team to repurchase tokens. Therefore, this does not need to exist. In BLOC, zero taxes/fees will be sold on behalf of the protocol. This will reduce the mechanical sell pressure on the token.</p><h4>Token Burn % Increase</h4><p>Currently, 10% of the tokens distributed are burned. In order to supercharge the deflationary goals of the token and reduce the need for manual burns, the team will increase this percentage to 50%. <br><strong>Example:</strong> 40,000 tokens sent to the receiver, 20,000 will be burned.</p><h4>NFTs Remain the Same, New Name</h4><p>Stasis Viking Collection will become the <strong>BlockCentral Viking Collection</strong>. The liquid-decaying NFTs will feature everything you love about them. The passive income will continue. The redeemability will remain. Autostaking rewards into single staking is the same.</p><p>The clans, features, artwork, and attributes will be the same for each holder, but the # on the NFT will change. Once migrated, the team will drop the new NFTs to each owner. The BVC lore will be updated to retcon the meaning of the ‘S’ logo in the artwork.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*B7Iu61ZfuiTq_u0O_Ry8Dw.png" /><figcaption>BVC NFTs</figcaption></figure><p>Future updates will be shared by the team in the coming weeks. If anyone has any questions, please join the Discord community and contact the team. This is a very exciting time of change for BlockCentral.

After a long bear market and endless rug pulls, users just wanted something they could safely participate in without the constant fear of the team disappearing.</p><p>After two months of weathering a macro crypto market struggling to find its footing, the <a href="https://www.stasis.network/sts"><strong>$STS</strong></a> token has performed well while providing nearly <a href="https://app.stasis.network/dashboard">10% APY single staking and 70% APY on the two yield farms</a>. Users have set their <a href="https://medium.com/@StasisNetwork/top-5-features-of-stasis-network-7ea45afd7d0d">Dynamic Strategies</a>, and the long-term mentality of the protocol is delivering passive income for the Stasis Network community.</p><h3>Hoard Boxes</h3><p>The final stage of the ‘<a href="https://docs.stasis.network/stasis-network/stasis-network-tokens/sts-or-stasis-network-token/sts-presale-details">progressive launch</a>’ of Stasis Network is the launch and sale of the newly created Hoard Boxes. These boxes are similar to loot boxes in video games. Users can buy a hoard box, and a random bonus is inside the box.</p><p>The boxes come in five sizes: <strong>$100, $250, $500, $1,000, $5,000</strong>. Each box represents a tax-free purchase of $STS tokens at market price. So no box is at risk of ‘losing’ money. And every box has a bonus inside.</p><p>These bonuses can range from 5–20% in extra $STS tokens, 5–20% in <a href="https://www.stasis.network/sts-plus"><strong>$STS+</strong></a> (stable-backed asset), or even a <a href="https://medium.com/@StasisNetwork/stasis-network-your-ultimate-nft-strategy-98995eb48f17">Stasis Viking Collection NFT</a> (valued at $600)! Rewards for those who choose to bolster the Stasis Network protocol treasury.</p><p><strong>Logistics:</strong> Users will purchase boxes with USDC. The random reward will be displayed once the transaction is completed. The value of tokens is locked in at market price at time of purchase. The team will manually process the purchase, and bonus, within 24 hours. After purchasing one box, refresh your browser for subsequent buys of the same box amount.</p><h4>Hoard Boxes are here: <a href="https://box.stasis.network/">https://box.stasis.network/</a></h4><h4>Available from August 17th to August 31st</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*TK6HGkiOg-bEIRSOFwRtIw.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://box.stasis.network/">Stasis Network Hoard Boxes</a></figcaption></figure><h3>Major Giveaways</h3><p>If these bonuses weren’t enough, we’re giving away even more in major raffles. <strong>Every $100 in Hoard Boxes bought will enter the buyer into a $500 STS Giveaway</strong> after the window closes at the end of August. The more boxes Stasis Network sells, the more and more lucrative these giveaways will be.</p><p>In addition to these giveaways, one community member has offered up a $500 Hoard Box to a lucky winner who buys at least two (2) $100 Hoard Boxes, and the team will be raffling off a Stasis Viking Collection NFT as well. That means at least three major raffles for as little as $200 in boxes.</p><h3>Rules of the Boxes</h3><p>Every game has rules, and the Stasis Network Hoard Boxes are no different. Remember, these boxes and the funds they are raising are meant to help propel the protocol forward. 100% of the funds are going to the project’s DeFi Fund or liquidity.</p><p>As such, any address that selling their $STS tokens, pre-launch of boxes or tokens from the boxes themselves, in order to buy hoard boxes to try to secure a larger bonus or free NFT will be disqualified from the raffles and giveaways.</p><p>The team thinks tax-free STS tokens plus a guaranteed bonus are generous enough. Users found taking advantage of the system by churning boxes will be removed from giveaway consideration entirely.</p><p>Let the Hoard Boxes Games begin!</p><p><strong>To find out more about Stasis Network:</strong><br>Website: <a href="https://www.stasis.network/">https://www.stasis.network/</a><br>Documentation: <a href="https://docs.stasis.network/stasis-network/">https://docs.stasis.network/stasis-network/</a><br>Yahoo Finance Release: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/4dj8f6ym">https://tinyurl.com/4dj8f6ym</a></p><p><strong>Social Media for Stasis Network:</strong><br>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/StasisNetwork">https://twitter.com/StasisNetwork</a><br>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@StasisNetwork">https://www.youtube.com/@StasisNetwork</a><br>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@stasisnetwork">https://www.tiktok.com/@stasisnetwork</a><br>Discord: <a href="https://discord.gg/stasisnetwork">https://discord.gg/stasisnetwork</a><br>Telegram: <a href="https://t.me/thestasisnetwork">https://t.me/thestasisnetwork</a><br>Reddit: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Stasis_Network">https://www.reddit.com/user/Stasis_Network</a></p><p><em>Stasis Network is a subsidiary of BlockCentral Inc, a Panama-based company focused on the advancement of blockchain adoption and education.</em></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=b663e93f42e2" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*BdUohViu3qvaMSqqvsa4Tg.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.stasis.network/">Stasis Network</a></figcaption></figure><p>In a crypto space where a new token is launching every day, projects work to find a way to stand out. Innovation is the easiest way; developing something never seen before in crypto. While other projects push technical innovations and cutting-edge systems, <a href="https://www.stasis.network/"><strong>Stasis Network</strong></a> is focused on reinventing the fundamentals.</p><p>There are many features within the Stasis Network ecosystem to be excited about as we move toward <a href="https://www.stasis.network/presale">Presale</a> on June 9th and Protocol Launch on June 16th. We boiled down those features into our Top 5 that should excite any potential user looking for a new opportunity.</p><h3>5. Fair Launch</h3><p>Too often in this space, DeFi projects will offer steep discounts on seed round or presale tokens against their launch price. Every time, the lucky ones who were early take those tokens, dump them for a healthy profit, and move on. They hurt the protocol and the investors who came after them, and severely damages the sentiment of the project overall.</p><p>With Stasis Network, we are focused fully on a fair launch. Our presale price is our launch price. There was no secret discounted seed round, and no VC money with hefty strings attached. All the users get a level playing field where they get a fair shake at engaging in the protocol.</p><h3>4. Self-Funded &amp; No Team Tokens</h3><p>The fair launch narrative leads directly to the next key feature. Too often, teams will raise money from their customers, then use that capital to build the product. This is bad for business, and bad for the investor. To add insult to injury, the team also gets a portion of the token supply as ‘payment’ for their hard work. This arrangement can quickly morph into a sense of unfairness on behalf of the user.</p><p>Within our protocol, we chose business development first, paid for out of our own pocket. The protocol build and marketing were self-funded, so when we do conduct the presale, almost 100% of the capital can go directly to work for the user. To cement this commitment to fairness, there are no team tokens, and the team will be investing in the presale side by side with the users. That’s our belief in the protocol on a fundamental level.</p><h3>3. No Locks, Timers, or Hostages</h3><p>A common saying in crypto is, “not your keys, not your crypto.” We say this in regard to maintaining self-custody of your assets; keeping your crypto off of centralized exchanges. Instead, you’re encouraged to bring your assets to DeFi, where many projects require you to lock your assets up, losing control of it, to earn rewards… make it make sense…</p><p>Within Stasis Network, you don’t have to worry about this. Users have maximum control over their assets at all times. They can move in and out of the protocol and the features found within without worrying about locks, punitive timers, or losing control of their holdings. This allows organic, sentiment-positive movement through the protocol at all times.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*i0C4rriw0mnQ3-JcV9yUFQ.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://twitter.com/StasisNetwork/status/1663972315259105282?s=20">Stasis dApp Walkthrough</a></figcaption></figure><h3>2. All-Inclusive dApp</h3><p>Many protocols in DeFi are complicated, and their decentralized applications (dApps) are equally as confusing. Teams sacrifice accessibility and simplicity as they try to cram their many different features and layers of ‘flywheels’ into a single user interface. In the end, they become basically unusable without a very thick user manual.</p><p>The dApp for Stasis Network went through several iterations. More than four months were spent refining it to ensure maximum usability and simple enough for the newest DeFi users to quickly learn. Additionally, everything featured in Stasis Network can be accomplished in the dApp, including making liquidity pool tokens, and bridging between networks and tokens via an <a href="https://axelar.network/">Axelar/Squid Router</a> widget integration into the dApp.</p><h3>1. Dynamic Strategies &amp; Full Control</h3><p>The number one feature of Stasis Network is our users’ ability to control their portfolio on the most granular level. No locks allow organic movement, and features like <a href="https://docs.stasis.network/stasis-network/how-to-earn/dynamic-strategies">Dynamic Strategies</a> and <a href="https://docs.stasis.network/stasis-network/internal-farm-migration">Internal Farm Migration</a> allow for full customization and automation for the user.</p><p>Every yield farm and staking pool in crypto is standardized. Stasis Network introduces a first-of-its-kind feature where each individual user can choose how their rewards are managed, and automate it. And users can adjust these strategies in real-time. It makes sense that as the market changes, so do their strategies.</p><p>The <strong>Public Presale</strong> for Stasis Network begins <strong>June 9, at 20:00 UTC</strong>. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to be a part of the next big protocol in DeFi.</p><p><strong>To find out more about Stasis Network:</strong><br>Website: <a href="https://www.stasis.network/">https://www.stasis.network/</a><br>Documentation: <a href="https://docs.stasis.network/stasis-network/">https://docs.stasis.network/stasis-network/</a><br>Yahoo Finance Release: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/4dj8f6ym">https://tinyurl.com/4dj8f6ym</a></p><p><strong>Social Media for Stasis Network:</strong><br>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/StasisNetwork">https://twitter.com/StasisNetwork</a><br>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@StasisNetwork">https://www.youtube.com/@StasisNetwork</a><br>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@stasisnetwork">https://www.tiktok.com/@stasisnetwork</a><br>Discord: <a href="https://discord.gg/stasisnetwork">https://discord.gg/stasisnetwork</a><br>Telegram: <a href="https://t.me/thestasisnetwork">https://t.me/thestasisnetwork</a><br>Reddit: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Stasis_Network">https://www.reddit.com/user/Stasis_Network</a></p><p><em>Stasis Network is a subsidiary of BlockCentral Inc, a Panama-based company focused on the advancement of blockchain adoption and education.</em></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=7ea45afd7d0d" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

Bear markets are hard. Everyone reading this has earned their stripes and proven they are strong, persistent investors. For those of us still here, there is a certain fortitude we have displayed that keeps us here despite the black swans.</p><p>With that being said, let’s address the elephant in the room.</p><p>It’s time to move on. The worst of the bear market is behind us. Most of the pain is over. You made it. From here, we might have a couple of hard times, but we know the good times are coming. And now, you can explore new experiences, new investments, and close some lingering chapters.</p><h3>Turning the Page</h3><p>You spent a lot of time curating your portfolio. Projects you love, some you put up with, and some you can’t believe you are still holding. If you made it this far, there is a chance there are a number of pieces of your portfolio you are just hoping will have a resurgence someday.</p><p>The truth is, most of them won’t. But you may end up holding them all the way to zero. There is a distinct difference between passion and delusion, and all of us are susceptible to crossing that line from time to time.</p><p>Because crypto is so social, so community-based, sometimes emotional attachment can become too heavily weighted in our decision-making. It can become a trap for your money. And the longer you’re trapped, locked up, or ‘underwater,’ it drags on you and drains your mental health.</p><h3>Opportunity Cost</h3><p>It is important to remember these pieces of your portfolio don’t exist in a vacuum. There are opportunities around every corner in crypto, and everyday precious capital remains locked in what could amount to nothing. You may be missing out on your next bull market beauty.</p><p>With <a href="https://www.stasis.network/"><strong>Stasis Network</strong></a> gearing up to launch in June, now is the time to take the opportunity to reevaluate those holdings. Are you still in because you believe in the tokenomics and mechanics? Or are you still holding because you have for a year or more, and you just can’t let it go?</p><p>The opportunity of Stasis, and the other new projects that will be getting ready to launch in the coming months, should create a moment of reflection for you. As a learned investor, consider what your next cycle’s portfolio will look like. Will it be missing new opportunities because your sunk costs held you back from moving on?</p><h3>The Future</h3><p>In crypto, a lot of projects have their moments, and then those moments never return. It is a byproduct of our short attention spans. There are few that maintain health and wealth for users long term. But everyone holding an “it’s going to moon again someday” bag thinks they have the golden ticket.</p><p>They probably don’t. Most of crypto is focused on the future, the new, the up-and-coming. Themes often repeat in this space from bull market to bull market, but projects usually do not. What worked last cycle won’t work this cycle. As investors, we have to stop and ask ourselves, “What will my portfolio look like in 12 months?”</p><p>Will it be the same old projects, still flirting with all-time lows, holding out hope for another run? Will it be safe, blue-chips you know won’t gain as much but aren’t going anywhere? Or will it be new, exciting opportunities you took a chance on because you wanted to lean forward into the next phase of this market cycle?</p><p>The choice is yours.</p><p><strong>To find out more about Stasis Network:</strong><br>Website: <a href="https://www.stasis.network/">https://www.stasis.network/</a><br>Documentation: <a href="https://docs.stasis.network/stasis-network/">https://docs.stasis.network/stasis-network/</a><br>Yahoo Finance Release: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/4dj8f6ym">https://tinyurl.com/4dj8f6ym</a></p><p><strong>Social Media for Stasis Network:</strong><br>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/StasisNetwork">https://twitter.com/StasisNetwork</a><br>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@StasisNetwork">https://www.youtube.com/@StasisNetwork</a><br>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@stasisnetwork">https://www.tiktok.com/@stasisnetwork</a><br>Discord: <a href="https://discord.gg/stasisnetwork">https://discord.gg/stasisnetwork</a><br>Telegram: <a href="https://t.me/thestasisnetwork">https://t.me/thestasisnetwork</a><br>Reddit: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Stasis_Network">https://www.reddit.com/user/Stasis_Network</a></p><p><em>Stasis Network is a subsidiary of BlockCentral Inc, a Panama-based company focused on the advancement of blockchain adoption and education.</em></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=333b595e018c" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

At the end of the day, ‘<em>People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care</em>.’ At Stasis Network, it is our job to make sure you know.</p><h3>History of Inefficiency</h3><p>Too often in DeFi in the last couple of years, teams will promise to provide users with huge returns; promises of riches and retirements. However, the teams will simultaneously mismanage the users’ funds so poorly that individuals are often lucky to exit their positions without a total loss.</p><p>It starts with the product itself. 99% of the time, project leaders will raise money from users <strong>THEN</strong> use user funds to build the product. This is backward compared to how the real world works. And this process knee-caps a project’s earning potential right out of the gate.</p><p>These projects swapped capital for tokens. Those tokens now have value, and if the backing capital is reduced by 40–50% or more because it was used inefficiently to build the product, it puts users at a severe risk that the team doesn’t have an equal share in.</p><h3>On The Right Foot</h3><p>With Stasis Network, the users don’t need to worry about this. Stasis is self-funded and already built. <strong>The product is done</strong>. The smart contracts are written. The audit will be completed before the Presale. Before any user funds are accumulated, the product is finished and operational on day one.</p><p>This means almost every penny of user funds participating in the <a href="https://medium.com/@StasisNetwork/stasis-network-white-list-information-raise-process-179cd9441999"><strong>Presale on June 9th</strong></a> will go directly into the protocol and into the DeFi Fund. That capital will be put to use immediately to grow the fund. And you, as the user, will be able to watch it on the blockchain and via our own reporting.</p><p>Every week, we will have informal AMAs about the DeFi Fund, the Stasis token tokenomics, and protocol health overall. With some giveaway opportunities as well. And once a month, we will be publishing a thorough financial report for users to dig into the minutia of the fund.</p><h3>Optimized DeFi Fund</h3><p>In the simplest terms, Stasis Network will be a DeFi Fund professionally managed by the team. No smoke and mirrors, no gambits or convoluted strategies. Capital security is our top priority, then yield optimization and growth are a very close second. It is not innovation; it is execution.</p><p>Traditional mutual funds use the US dollar as their medium of exchange. So you’re losing 2–3% a year in MER and another 5%+ a year to inflation. With Stasis Network, the medium of exchange for the DeFi Fund is a hyper-deflationary token that will burn ~25% of the total supply in the first year and will continue decreasing in supply over time.</p><p>The increased purchasing power of our medium, the STS token, through a growing DeFi Fund and a decreasing supply, makes the token in itself a powerful avenue of return, with the fund itself backing its value.</p><h3>DeFi Fund Makeup</h3><p>Capital preservation is our chief concern. With that being said, yield optimization is key to our long-term growth. The underlying assets will appreciate <a href="https://peasantforhire.medium.com/bitcoins-false-spring-historical-analysis-what-comes-next-4a3b87c6a36a">in the next 18 months</a> as we turn the corner on the market. However, receiving additional APY on those assets at the same time will amplify the DeFi Fund&#39;s value.</p><p>A majority of the fund will be in what we consider blue chip yield farms and single staking. Examples of this are utilizing platforms like <a href="https://lido.fi/">Lido</a>, <a href="https://curve.fi/#/ethereum/pools">Curve</a>, or <a href="https://app.uniswap.org/#/pool">Uniswap v3</a> concentrated liquidity pools. A small allocation can be for partnership opportunities that we feel will grow over time. Another small allocation can be in our own ecosystem for seeding purposes at the beginning, or holding in STS+ for quick access to operational needs but appreciates while it sits idle.</p><p>Like a traditional mutual fund, we have the flexibility to also execute some longer-term swing trading on blue chips, buying and holding for market appreciation. At some point, the market may dictate having a small portion of the DeFi Fund set aside for well-vetted presale opportunities, but that’s not a viable strategy until we are deeper into a bull market. We consider that more of a euphoric bull market strategy.</p><p>People are always digging for some secret sauce but often miss the point that execution, not innovation, is the keystone to whether or not a project is successful. Stasis network has small innovations, like Dynamic Strategies, Internal Farm Migrations, and Liquid Decaying NFTs, all of which hand control back to the user.</p><p>However, those optimizations help refine an established and proven system. We’re not reinventing the wheel, but we are making it roll smoother than the rest of our competitors.</p><p><strong>To find out more about Stasis Network:</strong><br>Website: <a href="https://www.stasis.network/">https://www.stasis.network/</a><br>Documentation: <a href="https://docs.stasis.network/stasis-network/">https://docs.stasis.network/stasis-network/</a><br>Bitcoin Insider Release: <a href="https://rb.gy/4wz2g">https://rb.gy/4wz2g</a></p><p><strong>Social Media for Stasis Network:</strong><br>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/StasisNetwork">https://twitter.com/StasisNetwork</a><br>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@StasisNetwork">https://www.youtube.com/@StasisNetwork</a><br>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@stasisnetwork">https://www.tiktok.com/@stasisnetwork</a><br>Discord: <a href="https://discord.gg/stasisnetwork">https://discord.gg/stasisnetwork</a><br>Telegram: <a href="https://t.me/thestasisnetwork">https://t.me/thestasisnetwork</a><br>Reddit: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Stasis_Network">https://www.reddit.com/user/Stasis_Network</a></p><p><em>Stasis Network is a subsidiary of BlockCentral Inc, a Panama-based company focused on the advancement of blockchain adoption and education.</em></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=69987c139aaa" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*IHNiV_-cu73j_LDp-DKA7g.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.stasis.network/">Stasis Network</a></figcaption></figure><p>We would like to announce the launch of the next generation of DeFi protocol, <a href="https://www.stasis.network/"><strong>Stasis Network</strong></a>. Designed as a DeFi Fund, the objective of this new organization is to provide the space with a sustainable addition to their portfolios and to introduce a new audience to the space by bridging the gap between the <strong>crypto-curious</strong> TradFi community and DeFi.</p><p>Using a deflationary, fungible token (<a href="https://docs.stasis.network/stasis-network/">$STS</a>) as the medium of exchange, Stasis Network will professionally manage a Treasury made up of a diversified portfolio of on-chain assets, with the objective of growing the value of the fund over time and reducing and burning the number of tokens in circulation.</p><h3>Passive Income Pacified</h3><p>One of the largest issues with the crypto ‘passive income’ is that it requires a lot of attention on behalf of the user. Whether it is daily or weekly, users must manage their rewards. Stasis Network is introducing a new feature to solve this called <a href="https://docs.stasis.network/stasis-network/how-to-earn/dynamic-strategies"><strong>Dynamic Strategies</strong></a>. Users will be able to customize and automate what happens to their rewards.</p><p>By handing control back to the user, Stasis Network allows each individual to manage or automate their personalized strategy. No longer do you have to suffer a standardized payment option. Now you can choose how, how much, and in what manner your passive income is realized.</p><h3>Less Innovation, More Execution</h3><p>One of the lingering issues with the DeFi space is a need for more business-centric leadership and problem-solving. Too often, the ‘engineer/developer’ mindset finds itself in the role of ‘project leader,’ and they are not always geared toward maintaining a protocol-wide view and taking care of the user. User sentiment is our top priority from day one.</p><p>While the team behind Stasis Network loves the innovations in crypto and DeFi, one of our primary objectives is to expand the borders of DeFi, and grow the population of this space we are so fond of. We must do this by simplifying our message, reaching out and meeting people where they are, and bringing them along slowly into this space.</p><h3>Fair Launch and Presale</h3><p>The <a href="https://www.stasis.network/presale"><strong>Stasis Network Presale</strong></a> will tentatively be conducted from <strong>June 9–11</strong>. There was no secret seed phase or VC funding. The development and marketing of Stasis Network was self-funded by the team. This will be the only raise conducted before the protocol launches in mid-June.</p><p>The token presale price ($0.01) will be the launch price when trading goes live. This is a fair launch and a protocol designed to operate for years, as long as crypto itself is viable. Presale buyers benefit from no Buy Tax (5%) and no price impact. Aside from these, there will be no discounted presale price or bonus tokens.</p><p>Additionally, there is <strong>no team allocation of tokens</strong>. The team will be participating in the presale alongside the users. Every token is allocated for pre-launch and will be utilized to push the protocol forward.</p><h3>Bridging TradFi and DeFi</h3><p>The DeFi space is small. There is a whole world of finance and <strong>crypto-curious</strong> individuals out there who want to participate in the emerging web3 space, but have yet to find a soft landing spot. While most of the web3 space focuses on innovating, Stasis Network will be focused on expanding.</p><p>Our target market is everyone, everywhere. We use traditional terminology to make the intimidating DeFi space more accessible and relatable. We simplify our systems and processes to shorten people’s learning curves. From a narrative standpoint, we travel to those who are on the fringes of DeFi and crypto, appeal to their established knowledge base of TradFi and usher them into a new experience in Stasis.</p><h3>Bridging Crypto Sectors</h3><p>Not only is Stasis Network a DeFi protocol, but it also features an incredibly designed ‘Liquid Decaying’ NFT we call the <a href="https://www.stasis.network/nfts"><strong>Stasis Viking Collection</strong></a> (SVC).</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*8W4B82ry2TBMI7J-zTkQ3Q.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.stasis.network/nfts">Stasis Viking Collection (SVC)</a></figcaption></figure><p>It is also a functional NFT that pays out weekly rewards to the holder from a smart contract with locked token supply. The NFT is considered ‘liquid’ because it can be redeemed for a fee if a holder wishes to gain access to the tokens backing the NFT. The ‘decaying’ feature allows the smart contract that holds the rewards to consistently release tokens to NFT holders by decaying on a percentage basis ever so slightly each week.</p><h3>No Locking Mechanisms</h3><p>In the crypto space, locking mechanisms are popular but misguided. The Stasis Team believes that locking user funds is always a net-negative outcome, either short-term or long-term. Look at what happened to PancakeSwap’s <strong>$CAKE</strong> token in the last month (-50% price action). There are even entire Twitter accounts dedicated to tracking blue chip unlock events so they can time ‘shorting’ them.</p><p>In Stasis, <strong>there will be no hostages</strong>. Users will be able to move freely between features, provided they account for the fees associated with them. The fees built into the Stasis system are akin to a traditional finance mutual fund’s ‘performance fees.’ While these fees have a purpose, they can be fairly assessed without feeling overly punitive.</p><p>— — — —</p><p>The key behind Stasis is changing the narrative for DeFi from intellectually exclusive to massively accessible. We can’t talk about mass adoption without talking about the space in a way the masses will understand. Protocols shouldn’t just be accessible because their systems are easy to use. They should also be accessible in the way we talk about the space.</p><p>Stasis Network will usher in a new paradigm for DeFi. Small innovations are leveraged to make the space easy to understand and easy to enter. As the protocol matters, we will continue to tear down those barriers to entry.
