سعر ‏Alpha Venture DAO

Stella, formerly known as Alpha Finance Lab, is a protocol that offers leveraged strategies with zero-interest borrowing costs. The introduction of Stella addresses the need for an efficient leverage system within the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. By providing deep liquidity and a strong foundation, Stella aims to empower users with enhanced leverage opportunities in a decentralized manner.

What is Stella

Currently a testnet, Stella is a DeFi protocol designed to offer zero-interest borrowing costs. The platform's utility token, ALPHA, plays a vital role in providing users with on-chain access to a diverse range of leveraged strategies. In addition to interest-free borrowing, Stella's lending pools will generate yield for lenders, creating opportunities for them to earn interest on their tokens.

The Stella team

Stella (previously Alpha Finance Lab) boasts a talented core product team. Tascha Punyaneramitdee leads the project as the Project Lead, with prior experience as the head of strategy at Band Protocol, Product Manager at Tencent, and Investment Banking Analyst at Jefferies. Nipun Pitimanaaree serves as the Tech Lead, bringing expertise as the former Chief Research Officer at OZT Robotics. Lastly, Arin Trongsantipong holds the position of Product Lead, with previous roles as a Software Engineer at SCB 10X, SCBC, and Cleverse.

How does Stella work

The Stella protocol comprises two key components: Stella Strategy and Stella Lend, providing distinct opportunities for users:

• Stella Strategy: Strategists gain access to a diverse range of leveraged strategies with zero-interest borrowing. By participating in Stella Strategy, strategists can earn yields on their leveraged positions. The generated yields from Stella Strategy are shared with the lenders, allowing them to benefit from the strategy's performance.
• Stella Lend: Lenders can contribute their assets to the lending pools on Stella and earn yields. 

Stella’s native token: ALPHA

The ALPHA token serves as the utility token at the heart of the Stella ecosystem, offering a wide range of services and benefits. With a total supply of 1 billion tokens, the initial release saw 174.1 million tokens introduced into circulation. Over time, the majority of the tokens have been issued and are steadily reaching the total supply. 

ALPHA use cases

The ALPHA token plays a crucial role within the Stella protocol, offering a range of use cases for its users. Firstly, it serves as the transactional currency for lenders, borrowers, and other on-chain functions within the protocol. Additionally, ALPHA holders can stake their tokens to receive rewards in the form of protocol fees and tokens from previously incubated projects. Furthermore, ALPHA token holders also gain governance rights, enabling them to actively participate in shaping the future of the protocol. 

Holding a certain volume of ALPHA tokens can unlock additional privileges, such as access to token sales. As the Stella protocol continues to evolve, the use cases for ALPHA are expected to expand.

ALPHA distribution

ALPHA is distributed as follows:

• 10 percent: Public sale
• 5 percent: Launchpool
• 20 percent: Liquidity mining
• 19.5 percent: Team and advisors
• 10.83 percent: Private sale
• 34.67 percent: Stella ecosystem contributors

What the future holds for Stella

Stella foresees a future where stakers will earn more fees as the platform becomes more popular and leveraged positions generate higher yields. As the DeFi landscape continues to evolve, Stella aims to redefine how leveraged DeFi platforms work by establishing a robust leverage system. By doing so, Stella aims to reshape the way users interact with leveraged strategies and unlock new possibilities for the ecosystem.
