# AQUA

"A Uniquely Scarce Cryptocurrency"

![](/files/-MYl2tus8mQSuObKsCaD)

AQUA sits at the center of Planet Finance & governs the planets.

With every second that passes, while people swap tokens, earn in vaults, lend, borrow, transform, buy/sell NFTs; value is captured by the protocol from fees charged to access these decentralized “services”. These “services” will continue to expand, exponentially increasing the flow of value created that is captured by the protocol and driven through AQUA.

With every passing second, AQUA becomes more scarce.

### **AQUA Overview**

**Ticker:** AQUA

**Contract Address:** [**https://bscscan.com/token/0x72B7D61E8fC8cF971960DD9cfA59B8C829D91991**](https://bscscan.com/token/0x72B7D61E8fC8cF971960DD9cfA59B8C829D91991)

**Blockchain:** Binance Smart Chain (BSC)

**MAX Supply:** 100,000 $AQUA

### **Distribution & Tokenomics**

AQUA has the fairest token distribution of any cryptocurrency. **No team tokens**, no pre-sale, no VC money. Your monetary energy placed in vaults & pools on Planet enabled anyone earn $AQUA. Early adoption has it's clear benefits [😉](https://emojipedia.org/winking-face/)

500 $AQUA was distributed daily, for 200 days.

Approximately 0.01736 AQUA was distributed per block (every 3 seconds).

<mark style="color:purple;">**AQUA has finished minting. There will be no more AQUA minted ever.**</mark>

## AQUA's Utility

* Governance: Create & vote on proposals to shape the future of the Planets
* Capture protocol value as a % of fees will buy & burn AQUA
* Capture value generated by Planet's cross-chain expansion
* Utilized on Pink Planet for NFTs & Planet Finance NFTs
* Earn AQUA paid by borrowers of AQUA on Green Planet
* Earn GAMMA by supplying it to Green Planet

## Where To Get AQUA

The best place to swap AQUA is directly on Planet. The swap can be accessed from all planets and shares the same liquidity pools to facilitate swaps.


# Planet Treasury

AQUA holders run the world...

![Planet Treasury](/files/dg5MljneEfXQgA1ZeuhZ)

AQUA holders govern the Planet Treasury. As the treasury grows over time, AQUA holders can actively influence how the treasury allocates those resources

**Treasury Address:**

# GAMMA

“Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form to another.”

![GAMMA](/files/-MkNEVJ3Pg7935s53qj3)

## **Overview**

**Token Name:** GAMMA

**MAX Supply:** 100,000,000 GAMMA

**Daily Distribution:** 100,000 GAMMA

**Contract Address:** <https://bscscan.com/token/0xb3cb6d2f8f2fde203a022201c81a96c167607f15>

Once 100 Million GAMMA has been completely distributed, there will be no new GAMMA created. As the protocol earns & buys GAMMA it flows to the GAMMA reserve that will then be distributed to users of the protocol to continue to incentivize usage across all planets. This will ensure the longevity of Planet Finance. A full green paper will be released soon.

## GAMMA Token Utility

GAMMA is the **highest form of energy** in the universe & therefore it’s only right that it has infinitely expanding utility! Here’s the planned utility of GAMMA, this list will continue to grow as Planet Finance evolves.

* 3 Levels — Increased Yields & Reduced Fees Taken By The Protocol When Staking GAMMA Relative To Your Collateral
* Stake GAMMA To Earn More GAMMA (GAMMA Vault)
* To Incentivize Liquidity Providers In The GAMMA/AQUA Liquidity Pool
* Provides Incentive To Vaults & Liquidity Pools Across The Planets
* Liquidity Incentives to Suppliers & Borrowers On Green Planet
* Supply & Borrow GAMMA On Green Planet
* Buy & Sell NFTs With GAMMA on Pink Planet
* Incentive For Planet Finance Index Vaults
* Gamification Of Planet Finance

## How Does The GAMMA Discount Levels Work?

**Levels — Earn More & Pay Less To Borrow**

Staking GAMMA comes with a tremendous incentive to holders. Green Planet has 3 levels that allow you to both increase your yield by reducing your borrowing rate. The “stake ratio” refers to the USD value of your GAMMA staked as a percentage relative to the total amount of assets you’re supplying as collateral.

These stake ratio percentages refer to the USD value of your GAMMA staked as a percentage relative to the total USD value of assets you’re supplying as collateral.

1. Level 1 — (1–5%) — 5% discount on lending & borrowing
2. Level 2 — (5–10%) — 20% discount on lending & borrowing
3. Level 3 — (>10%) — 50% discount on lending & borrowing

Read the full medium article about Green Planet & GAMMA [here](https://planetfinanceio.medium.com/green-planet-gamma-tokenomics-44ba66dd1fad).

## Reserve Fund

All protocol profits that **aren’t used to buy or burn AQUA & GAMMA** go into the reserve fund. The assets that flow into the reserve fund will be used to either supply liquidity, burn AQUA or buy GAMMA unless the community votes to change this. Adding liquidity to the protocol is critical as it ensures there’s a liquidity buffer to allow users to pull their funds out of the protocol. To date, this has been a critical issue in other lending protocols where suppliers have had issues being able to fully remove their liquidity in a timely manner.

**The liquidity reserve combined with Planet's unique interest rate model will help mitigate this liquidity risk & minimize the time frame in which there’s any potential short term liquidity issues on Green Planet.**

## Utilizing Chainlink’s Pricing Oracles

Some of the largest problems with DeFi protocols have been Flash Loan attacks and manipulatable pricing data. Both of these are preventable by using Chainlink’s pricing oracles. A pricing oracle pulls in the current price of an asset from multiple sources, this makes it increasingly difficult for a bad actor to temporarily manipulate the price of an asset. We’ve completely removed the ability to do Flash Loans within the Green Planet Protocol.

We’re excited to announce that we’re going to be working with Chainlink Labs to implement Chainlink’s pricing oracles on Green Planet. Much more details to come on this as we approach the launch of Green Planet & GAMMA.

## GAMMA Allocation To The Foundation

100,000 GAMMA will be distributed each day, of that, 10,000 GAMMA will flow to the foundation. This GAMMA allocation will be used to fund ongoing development & innovation, legal costs, marketing expenses & more.

The mission is for GAMMA to be as fairly distributed as possible. The aim is to have the lowest “team allocation” in the DeFi space. As a reminder, ZERO AQUA was allocated to the foundation, all AQUA held by the foundation & contributors has been bought or earned.

## Incentive To Share Green Planet

The community has asked for an affiliate aspect to help grow Green Planet. **Details on this will be released in the future.**

# Utility

Unlock GAMMA's utility by staking in the Infinity Vault

### What is GAMMA's utility?

* Earn more when lending assets
* Pay less when borrowing assets
* Earn more providing liquidity

### What is Boost APY?

Boost APY is a new utility for GAMMA that can be unlocked by staking GAMMA in the Infinity Vault.&#x20;

All pools and lending markets now have a new variable called **Boost Percentage**. This determines what % of the GAMMA allocated to this pool or market can be earned by depositors with no GAMMA vs. depositors with different amounts of GAMMA staked.

**Simply put, stake more GAMMA to earn more, faster.**

### **Example:**

<figure><img src="/files/lreqJeGWQt9wixncu38R" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Let’s say that the **BNB-BUSD** market is incentivized with **1,000 GAMMA/day** (from the farm) and the Boost Percentage is set at **50%**.

This means that 500 GAMMA is up for grabs based on your % of the total assets in the pool. This also means that the other 500 GAMMA is now up for grabs depending on your LP balance + your GAMMA staked in the infinity vault.

### **Boost APY Formula**

Only 100,000 AQUA will ever exist.&#x20;

Only 100,000,000 GAMMA will ever exist.

AQUA will be burned using a % of all fees generated across the planets.

GAMMA will be bought stored in the GAMMA reserve using a % of all fees generated across the planets.

Burning tokens is the most efficient way to drive value to all token holders fairly. It raises each AQUA holder's % of the total supply.&#x20;

In a world where all fiat currencies are inflating at significant rates and most cryptocurrencies have endless supplies, something different was needed.

## What will contribute to the burning of AQUA?

The Planet community voted to take 35% of all fees generated by the protocol and burn AQUA.

# Vaults

"Single-Asset Staking To Earn Interest On Your Crypto"

![Vaults - Blue Planet](/files/ZlgNRZGR1hiPHS5hDcQj)

### What are vaults?

Vaults are the simplest way for anyone to one-click deposit & instantly earn yield on their crypto assets. Yield is generated on deposited assets in the form of interest paid by borrowers, staking rewards and/or GAMMA rewards.

Vaults are your access point to escape the legacy system & participate in the brave new world of decentralized finance (DeFi).

### What type of vaults are on Planet?

1. **Standard Vaults (Green Planet Markets):**&#x20;

* All assets deposited are supplied directly to Green Planet. Once deposited, you will receive [gTokens](/planets/green-planet/gtokens) which are your interest-bearing receipts to be able to withdraw your deposited assets in the future.
* Standard vaults allow you to earn multiple ways. You earn a "Supply APY" which is interest paid by borrowers (example: If you deposit BNB your deposited amount of BNB will grow as you earn interest paid by borrowers). You earn a "GAMMA APY" which is paid to you by the protocol for using it.&#x20;

&#x20; 2\. **Boosted Vaults:**

* All assets are deposited into a strategy contract which deposits into other protocols to earn staking rewards for that particular token.&#x20;
* The staking rewards earned are converted into GAMMA and can be collected by clicking the claim boost button.&#x20;
* In addition to the staking rewards, depositors earn GAMMA from the protocol for using it.
* This enables even more value to pass through the GAMMA token, further **aligning the incentives of the protocol & the community**.&#x20;

&#x20; 3\. **Infinity Vaults:**

* Time-locked vaults designed to drastically reduce the floating supply of AQUA & GAMMA, while driving voting influence and protocol value towards long-term stakers.
* Stake your gAQUA and gGAMMA to support the protocol & earn more GAMMA.
* 50% of withdraw fees flow back to infinity stakers.
* Doing a normal unstake costs 1% & takes 21 days to complete.
* Instant unstaking comes with a 5% fee.
* Learn more about infinity vaults here..

### How do I claim my vault earnings?

GAMMA earned on all Standard Vaults can be collected by clicking the claim button at the top right of the page. This will claim all pending GAMMA earned on standard vaults.

# Pools

"Provide liquidity to power decentralized exchanges, earn trade fees & GAMMA"

![Pools - Blue Planet](/files/yuPCIALcbmbbjduCnB4G)

### What are liquidity pools?

Liquidity Pools (LP) are decentralized pools of two tokens that allow anyone to use them to swap one token for another. Planet charges 0.25% fees for all swaps. 0.13% of that is earned by liquidity providers & 0.12% goes to the protocol to burn AQUA & buy GAMMA.

Anyone can earn a share of trading fees by depositing a pair of tokens into the LP (this is known as "Adding liquidity").&#x20;

### What types of liquidity pools are on Planet?

1. Planet LP's: These LP's live within Planet's AMM
2. Boosted LP's (Aggregated): These are the best LP opportunities from other protocols aggregated for you. The reward tokens earned here are converted into GAMMA & paid to depositors. In addition to that, you'll earn trade fees and more GAMMA paid to you by the protocol.

### What is "My Pools"?

Once you deposit any assets into pools, they will move up into the my pools column so you can easily track where you have active deposits.

![My Pools - Planet.finance](/files/5S1bP1AAZzRhtcD88qJA)

# Infinity Vaults

Driving voting influence & rewards to long-term stakers

![Infinity Vaults](/files/eGebdufhkSAsYe8aWHVT)

### What are Infinity Vaults? <a href="#f3dd" id="f3dd"></a>

Infinity vaults are time-locked vaults designed to drastically reduce the floating supply of AQUA & GAMMA, while driving voting influence and protocol value towards long-term stakers.

Infinity Vaults allow you to earn GAMMA rewards from Green Planet as well as GAMMA distributed from the farm!&#x20;

**In addition to this, you will earn AQUA or GAMMA when others withdraw from the infinity vaults. 50% of their withdraw fee is paid directly to infinity vault stakers.** This is how infinity vault stakers are able to earn more than those who choose not to stake their gTokens in infinity vaults.

All GAMMA earned in the GAMMA infinity vault is auto-compounded for you. GAMMA earned by AQUA infinity stakers can be one-click staked into the GAMMA infinity vault (for zero fee).

### How do Infinity Vaults benefit the protocol? <a href="#id-1e6a" id="id-1e6a"></a>

* Drive more value to long-term holders
* Increased voting power for those locking their AQUA in the infinity vault
* Drastically reduce the “floating supply” of AQUA & GAMMA
* Increase the AQUA burn rate
* Increase the rate in which GAMMA is added to the reserve for redistribution

### What are gTokens?

gTokens are essentially receipts that you receive for your deposited funds. It’s the way the protocol knows who has what. When someone goes back to withdraw their funds, their gTokens are burned during that process. If you were to transfer your gTokens to another address or someone else, you are essentially giving away the right to withdraw what you’ve supplied to Green Planet. So, keeping that in mind, make sure to handle your gTokens safely.

### What are iTokens?

iTokens stands for "Infinity Tokens". When you deposit gTokens into infinity vaults, the protocol gives you back iAQUA or iGAMMA for your deposit. These iTokens are receipts for your deposits into infinity vaults. iTokens value should appreciate over time as they represent the ratio between iTokens/gTokens deposited into infinity vaults.

If you were to unstake from infinity vaults, you will burn iTokens during that process.

### AQUA Infinity Vault <a href="#id-72d4" id="id-72d4"></a>

* 5X Voting Power
* Earn More GAMMA
* 21 Days To Unstake
* Deposit Fee: 0.1%

2. Select the amount of AQUA that you want to stake
3. Click confirm

### Tutorial: How to Unstake <a href="#id-2b74" id="id-2b74"></a>

Unstaking from infinity vaults takes 21 days for your tokens to become transferrable again. Once you start unstaking from an infinity vault you will see a 21 day clock begin to count down. All assets that are in progress of unstaking & waiting for 21 days will not earn any GAMMA rewards during that time.

Any gQUA/GAMMA that is unstaking can be cancelled at anytime. Cancelling will return the tokens to your staked balance inside of the infinity vault & stop the unstaking process.

# Green Planet

"Grow your monetary energy by lending & borrowing""

![Green Planet](/files/HQLsp3hUeLwNKmgoCI0X)

## What Is Green Planet?

[Green Planet](https://app.planet.finance/) is an incentivized, non-custodial lending protocol for earning interest on deposits and borrowing assets.

### What Makes Green Planet Different? <a href="#id-30d2" id="id-30d2"></a>

Green Planet is the **first** decentralized lending protocol to offer discount levels on lending & borrowing, by using the GAMMA utility token.

GAMMA is distributed to suppliers & borrowers enabling anyone to earn on their crypto, every 3 seconds. All loans taken by borrowers are over collateralized ensuring that there’s always capital in the protocol to protect the lender’s funds.

GAMMA is a non-inflationary token with **actual** utility.

### Use Cases For Green Planet <a href="#id-01ff" id="id-01ff"></a>

* Lend your crypto & start earning instantly
* Why sell your crypto when you can borrow against it & use it
* Create higher yield farming opportunities across the planets
* Earn a yield in a bull market, bear market, flat market
* Permissionless lending & borrowing
* You hold your keys, you remain in control
* Diversify your risk

## Lending

Lending on the Green Planet enables you to put your crypto work. While borrowers are borrowing your crypto, they're paying rolling interest. This interest is paid directly to you as the lender for the privilege of using your funds.&#x20;

More savvy defi users use lending as part of their strategy to both de-risk and leverage up.&#x20;

## Rolling Interest

Rolling interest is an absolute game-changer for the user experience of lending. Historically payments to lenders were made monthly, quarterly, yearly and sometimes not at all. It's a slow grind and very uneventful.&#x20;

On Planet Finance your yield earned from lending your funds drips in, in real-time.

## Collateral & Borrowing

Lending your funds on the Green Planet increases your supply balance. This supply balance is your collateral. Having collateral on Green Planet allows you to borrow cryptocurrency on the open market. When you borrow crypto, the amount you borrowed and need to payback to free up your collateral, will slowly increase at the current APY you're paying to borrow the funds.

# gTokens

"Interest-bearing tokens from Green Planet"

### What are gTokens?

gTokens are interest-bearing tokens that function as your receipt to be able to withdraw your deposited positions. So if you were to deposit 100 BUSD, you'd receive gBUSD. Over time, the value of your gToken should continue to rise as its value comes from the ratio between outstanding gTokens vs. the total amount of BUSD in the contract.

### How do I get gTokens?

If you deposit assets in the planet vaults on the vaults page or if you supply any assets on Green Planet, you will receive gTokens from the protocol.

# Why Crypto?

"What matters."

## The financial world is rapidly changing.

* Countries are printing money at historic rates.&#x20;
* DeFi is freeing humanities finances while algorithmically guiding value creation forward.&#x20;
* Governments have the ability to print as much money as they choose to with no public visibility on how both tax revenue & newly inflated dollars are allocated.
* Money printing dilutes your wealth, relative to the total supply.

## Own The Infrastructure Of The Future

It's clear the world is being rebuilt on smart contracts on blockchains using tokens.&#x20;

The cryptocurrencies that "win" and help shape our future, offer individuals a way to own a piece of the protocol. This is historic.


# Why Stablecoins?

"Stability in an unstable world"

## Bull Markets

In a bull market there's tremendous demand for stable coins. People want to secure their gains. Having funds in a stable coin gives you the ability to "buy the dip". Also, businesses need resource stability to be able to predictably plan for future capital allocations. Earning significant yield on your stable coins in a bull market allows you to compound your stable coins or dollar cost average into your favorite cryptos.

## Bear Markets

In a bear market the demand for stable coins is even larger. Bear markets feel like the world is falling around you. When the price of everything is falling relative to dollars, stable coins are the best thing to be holding. Earning significant yield on stable coins in a falling market amplifies your gains.

## All Markets

Every individual investor & institution in the world wants to be able to make returns in flat markets. Two fantastic ways to do that is through lending & liquidity providing. The Blue Planet on Planet Finance will be the best place to do that for stable coins. Earning consistent returns in flat markets allows for further risk diversification to protect yourself and also enables individuals & entities to plan ahead financially.

# Wallets & Risk Mitigation

Rule #1, don't lose money. Rule #2, don't forget Rule #1.

### Web **Wallets**

[MetaMask](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/metamask/nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn?hl=en) (recommended)- The original browser extension wallet

[Binance Chain Wallet](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/binance-chain-wallet/fhbohimaelbohpjbbldcngcnapndodjp?hl=en) - The official browser extension wallet for Binance Smart Chain

### Mobile Wallets

[SafePal](https://safepal.io/) (recommended) - An all in one mobile wallet with access to decentralized app

[Trust Wallet](https://trustwallet.com/) - A simple & secure mobile wallet that supports BTC, ETH, BSC & more&#x20;

### **Best Practices**

* Never give your private keys to anyone, ever.&#x20;
* Store your private keys/seed phrase off line and ideally in a safe
* Always log out of your browser extension wallet after using it
* Never log in to your account or type in your private key on open public wifi like cafe's or airports
* Understand the difference between blockchains. BTC (Segwit). ETH (ERC20). BSC (BEP20). Sending crypto to an address on the WRONG chain will make you LOSE YOUR FUNDS.

### Insurance

Planet Finance is in the process of creating the Purple Planet which is a free market insurance protocol. Insurance will enable you to pay a premium to be insured against various risks. More details to come on free market insurance on Planet.


# Quality Assets Only

"Quality is all that matters."

## What's the problem?

Most DeFi projects seem willing to list any project if they see an opportunity to make money doing so. This vastly increases risk to their community who put their trust in the platforms they place their monetary energy with.

We believe in a better way forward.

## How does Planet Finance solve this?

We want to list trusted & proven projects only. Any tokens or aggregated protocols listed on the planets are all large, audited & trusted projects. The community of course will be able to vote on future vaults/pools to list on the planets.&#x20;

We believe in having only the highest of standards when adding new yield-generating opportunities onto the platform.


# Impermanent Loss

Learn what impermanent loss is and how you can avoid it on Planet Finance

### What is impermanent loss?

Impermanent loss happens when you provide liquidity to a liquidity pool, and the price of your deposited assets changes compared to when you deposited them. The bigger this change is, the more you are exposed to impermanent loss. In this case, the loss means less dollar value at the time of withdrawal than at the time of deposit.

**Here's examples at different price changes showing how impermanent loss can effect your holdings vs. if had you just held the assets outside of the liquidity pool:**

* 1.25x price change = 0.6% loss
* 1.50x price change = 2.0% loss
* 1.75x price change = 3.8% loss
* 2x price change = 5.7% loss
* 3x price change = 13.4% loss
* 4x price change = 20.0% loss
* 5x price change = 25.5% loss

Pools that contain assets that remain in a relatively small price range will be less exposed to impermanent loss. **Stable coins for example, will stay in a relatively contained price range. In this case, there’s a smaller risk of impermanent loss for liquidity providers (LPs).**

To **learn more** about impermanent loss from Binance go [here](https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/impermanent-loss-explained).

### How can impermanent loss be avoided on Planet Finance?

Stable coins are designed to be stable and hold their value at $1. Within liquidity pools containing a stable coin on both sides (BUSD-USDC for example), neither assets price should fluctuate significantly. In rare cases when they do, the market is incentivized to quickly bring the price back to $1.&#x20;

Therefore providing liquidity in dual stable coin pools allows you to have stability on both assets you've put into the pool as well as reap the benefits of earning transaction fees when others trade the tokens you've put into the pool.&#x20;

### Where there can be impermanent loss on Planet Finance

For those providing liquidity in the GAMMA-BNB LP or any non-stable coin LP's, impermanent loss is a factor worth considering. Both $GAMMA and $BNB have prices that fluctuate. Extra $GAMMA is allocated to this pool and you also earn trade fees that happen in this liquidity pool. The $GAMMA you earn, as well as trade fees received are designed to help offset any impermanent loss one might face while trying to provide liquidity.
