Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. The proposal describes a new interest-bearing token tied to staking, redemption, transfers, trading, and algorithmic rates, but does not define implementation scope or acceptance criteria. A contributor would need those details before starting, and what counts as done is not specified.

Description

core tokenomics usability

Dev Protocol should develop interest baring tokens. Interest bearing tokens (aTokens for short) are minted when you stake and burned when redeemed. The aTokens are pegged 1:1 to the value of the underlying Dev tokens that are staked in the Dev protocol. aTokens can be freely stored, transferred, and traded. While the underlying asset is staked in a property pool, aTokens accrue interest in real time, directly in your wallet!

A user’s balance of aTokens increases as interest is generated according to the current rate. This interest rate changes algorithmically, depending on the amount of funds being staked to the pool, as well as the APY.

These tokens can then be sent to Uniswap, Kyber, and other trading platforms to exchange and trade. This would incentivize users to keep their underlying stakes while using the interest bearing tokens to find other opportunities in or outside of Dev Protocol. This would mitigate users dumping without forcing them to lockup tokens which will only delay not prevent dumping.
