Chaos breeds infinite possibilities, while order gives these possibilities direction. In the vast ocean of blockchain, mastering the future means understanding the deep logic behind it.
Whether you are a seasoned Web3 professional or a newcomer, this content will help you quickly grasp the core concepts of Trend. The Trend Dev team is composed of dedicated decentralization advocates who have followed the development of blockchain since the birth of Bitcoin. Trend was born out of the current state of blockchain, encompassing DeFi, GameFi, Memecoin, and NFTs. We will explain these key areas to you one by one.
1. The State of Blockchain
1.1 Capital Influx and Retail Investor Dilemma As more traditional capital flows into the market, opportunities for retail investors are diminishing. Emerging projects often become "star projects" right from the start, with their market values already skyrocketing, leaving ordinary investors to participate passively. Just like floating wood chips in a stormy sea, retail investors are easily carried by the waves without realizing it. This situation forces retail investors to take high risks by heavily participating in projects like Memetokens. However, due to the unsustainable nature of Memetokens, most projects eventually fail. These two extreme scenarios highlight the severe problems in the current investment model.
1.2 Project Profitability and Token Value Discrepancy Trend Dev has observed that many blockchain projects, despite being profitable, have tokens that are disconnected from the project's profitability, leading to a continuous decline in token value. Investors' tokens keep depreciating while the profits are concentrated in the hands of the team, which is clearly unreasonable. Just like a shadow separated from its object, if the token's value is disconnected from the project's actual profitability, it ultimately becomes a futile pursuit. In contrast, in traditional financial markets, investors can buy stocks and earn dividends through company profits, and the stock value is closely related to the company's growth. This close relationship is the essence of the real economy, and blockchain should return to this fundamental principle.
1.3 Trend's Vision for the Future of Blockchain Trend firmly believes that the future of blockchain lies in returning to value investing, where project teams and users share profits, achieving sustainable and mutual growth. In the river of time, things of true value will not disappear with the tides but will become clearer with each rise and fall. Trend is committed to building an ecosystem where every participant can feel the power of time and the permanence of value.
1.4 Information Dilemma Facing Investors As blockchain technology matures and the number of projects increases, investors are finding it increasingly difficult to identify quality projects amidst the flood of information. The Trend Dev team deeply understands that in today's Web3 space, investors spend significant time browsing various media and social platforms, yet still struggle to filter out quality projects. This has become one of the main challenges for investors. Information overload often leads to confusion; only by finding a clear line of thought amidst the chaos can one identify truly valuable targets.
1.5 Trend's Solution Trend Dev is committed to creating a multi-chain DApp aggregation platform that helps investors discover the best investment opportunities and entry points through a single product. Trend will establish a decentralized DAO governance ecosystem, where important decisions are made by community voting, ensuring equal participation in the platform's development. Ninety percent of the ecosystem's profits will be distributed to loyal holders, encouraging community building and achieving co-creation and win-win results. Just as a tree's growth depends on its deep roots, decentralized governance ensures the stability and sustainability of the entire ecosystem. Trend understands that the future of Web3 lies not only in decentralization but also in the balanced development of community, utility, and ecosystem. Trend will join hands with you to build a sustainable Web3 ecosystem!
2. TOKEN
Blockchain tokens, as digital assets, embody value in multiple attributes. They are not only tradable and programmable value carriers but also exhibit tremendous potential in finance, gaming, art, and other fields due to their decentralized, transparent, and secure characteristics. At the same time, tokens grant holders governance rights and the ability to participate in project decisions, further promoting community consensus and ecosystem development. Tokens are value carriers in the blockchain ecosystem, and the realization of their value lies not only in their existence but also in the consensus and trust they can bring.
Trend understands the true value of tokens and believes that equity equivalence, utility value, and financial value are key. Trend's token (TRN) has the following characteristics:
Equity Equivalence: Trend's token is equivalent to equity, as 90% of the platform's profits will be used to repurchase tokens, allowing holders to share in the platform's growth dividends. Just like the shining stars in the vast sky, each token symbolizes a part of the platform, carrying the hopes and future of everyone.
Full Circulation: The team does not hold any tokens at the time of issuance, nor is there any retention in the mining pool, ensuring full circulation. Only in a fully transparent ecosystem can trust be maximized, and trust itself is the core value of blockchain.
Strong Demand but Non-Inflationary: Trend's GameFi token distribution mechanism is unique, avoiding the common pitfalls of traditional GameFi projects. We abandon the practice of pre-issuing a small number of tokens and instead allow tokens to be dynamically released through user transactions, effectively avoiding the initial high market value and subsequent inflation issues. This mechanism satisfies the strong demand for tokens while preventing the "peak at launch" dilemma, making the GameFi ecosystem healthier and more sustainable. In contrast, many GameFi projects, due to uncirculated mining pools, start with small circulation and high market value, leading to exacerbated inflation and continuous decline in token prices. Trend's innovative mechanism perfectly solves this pain point, injecting new vitality into GameFi.
Extreme Deflation: TRN's extreme deflation mechanism is reflected in its unique sell allocation: every time a sale occurs, 30% of the TRN will be burned, achieving a permanent reduction in total supply. This mechanism effectively avoids the common slippage issues in other projects, ensuring smooth and fair transactions without harming users' interests. In countless decisions, the deflation mechanism acts like a delicate carving knife, chiseling the token's value to make it increasingly precious.
Governance Attributes: TRN grants holders governance rights, ensuring the implementation of decentralized governance. The granting of governance rights symbolizes the decentralization of power, which is the most direct manifestation of the spirit of decentralization.
3. NFT
Since 2014, the intrinsic value of NFTs has primarily included collectible value and utility value. Collectible value is often influenced by personal preferences, with a narrow demand base; utility value mainly focuses on GameFi projects, but due to the early stage and unsustainable economic models in the GameFi field, the demand for NFT utility value is insufficient. Furthermore, the non-fungible nature of NFTs leads to low liquidity, limiting the expansion of the NFT field. Just like the value of a piece of art lies not only in its external beauty but also in the story and meaning behind it, the value of NFTs should transcend their surface form and become a truly meaningful digital asset.
The emergence of the ERC-404 protocol, which tokenizes NFTs, significantly enhances their liquidity. Building on the ERC-404 protocol, Trend created the ERC-502 protocol, further improving the functionality of NFTs, including automatic burning, NFT holding mining, and incentives for users and developers. The ERC-502 protocol, by enhancing asset liquidity and reshaping the dual attributes of fungible and non-fungible tokens, drives a liquidity revolution, ensuring absolute fairness in token-fungibility integration. Through these innovations, NFTs are no longer isolated digital assets but an integral part of the entire ecosystem, driving a new era of liquidity.
Based on the ERC-502 protocol, we have created five different rarity levels of zoo NFTs. These NFTs not only have collectible and utility functions but can also be traded as tokens or purchased on NFT exchanges. Users holding these NFTs can participate in our UPUP GameFi to earn rewards and enjoy governance rights while also receiving dividends from Trend platform profits. In this model, NFTs are not only symbols of personal wealth but also key to participating in ecosystem governance and profit-sharing.
