TI First Sight - BlackHole Protocol
BlackHole Protocol is a decentralized cross-chain token destruction platform based on the Ethereum network. Its feature is that other tokens can be "destroyed" without the permission of other protocols and exchanged for new tokens. The specific implementation mechanism is as follows:
- To achieve the destruction of tokens, users need to first hold the native currency $BLACK of the BlackHole Protocol, and the token X that they want to destroy to form a currency pair combination and put it into the burning pool.
- In the burning pool, X tokens will be permanently destroyed, and $BLACK tokens will be destroyed by 20%;
- After the burn is over, the user will get the new token Y issued by the project party, and 80% of $BLACK;
In essence, BlackHole provides an "old currency for new currency" service. Users who want to exchange the old currency for the new currency need to use $BLACK to pay a certain fee, and the charged $BLACK will be directly destroyed;
The most fundamental question about market demand is whether the developer or project issuing tokens has a demand for "renewal of tokens". If such demand exists, it is also necessary to consider whether there is a need for external channels to help users exchange new coins. If developers who issue new coins support trade-in according to certain rules, BlackHole's participation incentives will not be so strong.
