YieldBricks Community AMA Ep.04/09: MEXC Cleared & BoostTiers Deep-dive
The Spaces reviewed a turbulent but ultimately resolved MXC situation and outlined concrete steps for recovery and growth across product, liquidity, listings, and marketing. With trading APIs restored and listings sites being updated, the team is rebalancing liquidity across pairs, maintaining upside momentum, and continuing buybacks and burns over the next 3–4 weeks. A major focus was the Boosters model—a tiered holder rewards system (Visitor, Rookie, Explorer, Camper, Builder, Tycoon)—covering Vaults (early access, guaranteed allocations, yield multipliers), Treasures (Explorer+), a Camper/Builder/Tycoon VIP Portal, and RW Liquid Pools (open to all, separate caps). Staked tokens via Decubate will be counted in tiering through an on-chain workaround; surplus yields will fund buybacks and ecosystem liquidity, with the treasury covering rare deficits. The DApp and dashboard are being redesigned, with a release order of Vaults, Treasures, Liquid Pools, VIP beta, then Marketplace (with guest mode). Portfolio expansion prioritizes Dubai assets, legal clearances are imminent, and synchronized product/marketing releases will drive TVL. Marketing restarts with PR, YouTube tutorials, and TikTok, focusing on engaged RWA KOLs and community advocates over hype. With ~3.5k holders, no VC overhang, and supportive whales, the team expects an “epic comeback” and plans the next AMA around Wednesday.
Twitter Spaces Recap: Project Updates, Exchange Resolution, Boosters, Product Roadmap, and Marketing
Context and Host
- Speaker: The session was led by the project’s core team representative (name not stated in the recording), providing a comprehensive update on exchange resolution, liquidity, product mechanics (Boosters), roadmap, marketing, and community incentives.
Exchange Situation and Trading Infrastructure
- MXC/MXC assessment resolved:
- The team acknowledged prior communication constraints due to unclear internal timelines on the exchange side.
- Status is now clear: trading environment has improved; APIs are reactivated.
- CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and other listing aggregators are being updated to reflect accurate token metrics (market cap, liquidity, etc.). Website APIs are being re-enabled to keep data current across channels.
- Liquidity management:
- Active rebalancing underway to create more favorable market conditions.
- Liquidity will be added gradually across different pairs and on DEXs to preserve upside momentum.
- Selling pressure from early “jeet” sellers has largely dissipated; the sell-side order book is cleaner.
- Strategy aims for an “epic comeback,” supported by buybacks and scheduled burns.
- MM (market maker) weekly calls continue to reassess volatility. Current liquidity allows price control, but the team cautions against minute-by-minute chart fixation—typical for low caps, volatility remains high but manageable.
- Listings:
- Additional exchange listings are being scoped with a priority on US-friendly options.
- Near-term focus is on improving volume via product releases, liquidity, and marketing to be a stronger candidate for larger exchanges.
- In touch with multiple exchanges and agents; will act when momentum is right.
Boosters: Holder Reward Mechanics and Tiered Access
- Purpose:
- Boosters are a holder reward framework designed to enhance access, yields, and benefits across the platform while keeping core usage open to non-holders (visitors).
- Tiers and token holding thresholds:
- Visitor: Registered user with no token holdings.
- Rookie: ≥5,000 tokens.
- Explorer: ≥50,000 tokens.
- Camper: ≥250,000 tokens.
- Builder: ≥1,000,000 tokens.
- Tycoon: ≥2,500,000 tokens.
- Platform-wide participation cap (non-liquidity pools):
- Combined participation across products (e.g., Vaults and Treasury) is capped at 50,000 per KYC’d wallet, driven by current legal/licensing constraints. This is expected to increase over time.
Vaults (Core Product)
- Example and yield factors:
- Illustrative property: 100k value; 10% net yield.
- Tier-based annual yield factor applied to net yield:
- Visitor: 0.7 → 7%.
- Rookie: 0.8 → 8%.
- Explorer: 0.9 → 9%.
- Camper: 1.0 → 10%.
- Builder: 1.1 → 11%.
- Tycoon: 1.2 → 12%, with the bonus above 1.1 paid in the project’s token (i.e., stables up to 1.1; remainder in tokens).
- Early access windows (relative to public launch “T”):
- Tycoon: T − 72 hours.
- Builder: T − 48 hours.
- Camper: T − 24 hours.
- Explorer: T − 12 hours.
- Rookie: T − 3 hours.
- After these windows, Vaults open to all Visitors.
- Guaranteed allocations (100k example):
- Tycoon: 40% (40k).
- Builder: 25% (25k).
- Camper: 15% (15k).
- Explorer: 5% (5k).
- Rookie: 5% (5k).
- Remaining 10% is for public offering.
- Per-wallet limits (during early access):
- Visitor: Up to 1% of a Vault per wallet.
- Rookie: Same early limit as Visitor (1% per wallet).
- Tycoon: Up to 10% per wallet.
- Note: Other tier-specific wallet limits during early phases were not fully detailed; once public phase begins, those early limits lift and participation becomes first-come, first-served.
Treasury (aka “Treasures” in the recording)
- Eligibility:
- Only open to Explorer and above (Visitors and Rookies can view but cannot participate initially).
- Wallet limits:
- Explorer: 5k.
- Camper: 20k.
- Builder: 50k.
- Tycoon: 50k.
- Note: Capped by the current platform-wide 50k per KYC’d wallet limit; will be increased later.
- Yield factors:
- Explorer: 0.8.
- Camper: 0.9.
- Builder: 1.0.
- Tycoon: 1.1 (plus 10% bonus noted in the discussion; interpretation aligns with Vaults where bonuses can be partly in tokens).
- Early access:
- Tycoon: T − 48 hours.
- Builder: T − 24 hours.
- Camper and Explorer: No early access; they enter at the same time.
- Rationale: Product targets higher capital participation; may expand to lower tiers later depending on demand and adoption.
VIP Portal and Group Access
- Access limited to Camper, Builder, and Tycoon.
- Collab.Land integration for TG-based VIP group:
- Automated verification of token holdings and access revocation if holdings fall below thresholds.
- Replaces manual wallet checks.
- Platform backend also monitors on-chain holdings to determine tier status and average holdings. Initially supports one wallet per user.
- Multiple wallet support planned later.
- Users who move tokens to another wallet must switch wallets on the dashboard to avoid tier loss.
RW Liquidity Pools
- Access:
- Open to all tiers; no early access windows.
- First-come, first-served. Includes exclusive, time-limited deals (hence no waiting structures).
- Wallet limits (distinct from the 50k platform cap):
- Visitor: 2k.
- Rookie: 5k.
- Explorer: 10k.
- Camper: 25k.
- Builder: 50k.
- Tycoon: 200k.
- Separation from general cap:
- RW Liquidity Pools do not count towards the 50k per KYC’d wallet cap. They are governed by their own product-specific limits and pool sizes.
Guest Mode and Marketplace
- Guest mode:
- Non-registered users can browse parts of the platform without connecting a wallet (to reduce friction and improve discovery).
- Vaults will show high-level details (size, expected yield, location). Full financial breakdown requires registration.
- Marketplace:
- Will launch after Vaults are live and have active holders (it exists to support Vault trading).
- Redesign underway to align with the new Web3 brand identity.
Staking Inclusion in Boosters
- Current staking infrastructure (Decubate):
- Challenge: Staked tokens leave the holding wallet, complicating tier calculations when only one wallet is supported per user.
- Planned solution:
- Track addresses that sent tokens to the staking contract and have not withdrawn; count those amounts toward Boosters holdings.
- Long-term: Building own staking infra was deprioritized to avoid delays; Decubate chosen for reliability and speed.
Payout Model, Fees, Buybacks, and Liquidity
- Yield payments:
- Tier factors result in some users receiving more or less than raw property net yield.
- Over time, model is designed to produce a “leftover” (excess after net yield distributions) in most cases.
- Use of leftovers:
- 50% to buybacks.
- 50% to ecosystem liquidity (treasury expansion, instant swap protocol liquidity, and long-term stability measures).
- Deficit handling (rare scenarios):
- Covered via team treasury and fee reductions.
- Fee flows:
- Fees from Marketplace, Treasury, and Liquidity Pools will also be directed toward buybacks and ecosystem liquidity.
- Full fee model is complex (multiple tables); will be released stepwise alongside product rollouts.
Product Redesign and Roadmap
- Design overhaul:
- Full UX/UI redesign to align with a refined Web3 brand identity (consistent animations, typography, internal production—no external collaborators).
- Positive community feedback (≈90% in an internal poll).
- Feature upgrades:
- New DApp and Dashboard (redesigned) with:
- Claiming portal.
- Rich metrics.
- Extended property documentation and presentations.
- Improved legal documentation.
- Fiat on/off ramp.
- New DApp and Dashboard (redesigned) with:
- Release order:
- Vaults (first),
- Treasury,
- RW Liquidity Pools,
- VIP Portal: Beta in between, tested with a subset of core VIP members.
- Marketplace: After Vaults achieve meaningful participation.
- Portfolio expansion:
- Community strongly prefers Dubai properties; the team will prioritize adding Dubai assets as a core next step, while balancing fundamentals and legal readiness.
- Synchronization is key: avoid launching multiple empty Vaults without the upgrade and clarity in place.
Marketing, KOLs, and Community Incentives
- Timing and rationale:
- Major marketing was intentionally delayed during the MXC assessment and near-zero volume periods to avoid wasted spend and poor first impressions (labels like “under assessment” can deter new users).
- Strategy forward:
- New community incentives start Monday (following the resolution), forms released tomorrow to recruit contributors and moderators.
- Focus on advocates over shillers; quality engagements explaining product advantages.
- Build lists of RWA communities across socials; structure for rating channels and rewards.
- KOLs:
- Clarification: No KOLs received free tokens. Early KOL round participants were presale investors with discounts and shorter vesting for services—publicly disclosed at launch.
- Many KOLs stopped promoting after vesting completion and token sales (typical behavior). Some remain involved.
- Future KOL selection: Prefer smaller, high-engagement, RWA-focused creators over large, possibly botted accounts; explore YouTube influencers and more video content (tutorials and reviews).
- PR, TikTok, and multi-channel content planned once design and product releases are aligned (timeline: days to one or two weeks).
- Avoiding low-quality AI “shilling”:
- Past attempts with AI agents (e.g., generic “to the moon” messaging) were ineffective and possibly detrimental.
- The team will emphasize informed, educational content.
Token Distribution, Funding, and Strategic Positioning
- Holder base and distribution:
- ≈3,500 holders, growing gradually; distribution is relatively flat with only two large, supportive whales and no VCs.
- The largest “VC-like” holder is not even in the top 50.
- This structure reduces risk of large-scale dumping on the community and positions the project favorably for a sustainable “comeback.”
- Funding context:
- Original raise came in ≈$4M below plan due to market conditions diverging from advisor projections.
- Despite constraints, the project survived and achieved notable progress; now operating with clearer priorities.
- Equity raise:
- Preparing an equity raise to strengthen budget and execution capacity.
- Partnerships/collaborations are in motion (details pending) that could significantly increase visibility across the RWA space.
Timelines, Operations, and Next Steps
- Near-term actions:
- CoinGecko/CoinMarketCap and site API updates underway.
- Liquidity additions continue gradually.
- New incentives and marketing push start Monday; community forms released tomorrow.
- Product releases begin with Vaults, followed by Treasury, RW Liquidity Pools, VIP beta, then Marketplace.
- Legal finalization expected within days (delayed due to MXC situation).
- Volatility and monitoring:
- Ongoing MM calls weekly; accept volatility as normal for low caps; avoid over-focusing on minute charts.
- Communication cadence:
- Next AMA likely Wednesday, timed to coincide with releases.
- With MXC issues resolved, scheduling and transparency are easier; team aims to keep to deadlines and maintain clarity.
Key Takeaways
- Exchange/API issues are resolved, paving the way for consistent metrics, improved liquidity, and restored trading confidence.
- Boosters introduce clear, tiered benefits: early access windows, guaranteed allocations, yield multipliers, and VIP gating—without blocking platform access for non-holders.
- RW Liquidity Pools are open to all and exempt from the general 50k cap, supporting flexible participation in time-sensitive opportunities.
- Fees and leftovers are systematically channeled into buybacks and ecosystem liquidity; rare deficits will be covered by treasury and fee cuts.
- Product redesign emphasizes professional brand execution and usability; releases will be staged to ensure adoption (Vaults first).
- Marketing will prioritize authentic advocacy, RWA-focused KOLs, educational video content, and timing that aligns with product readiness.
- Holder distribution and lack of VC overhang position the project for healthier market dynamics as TVL and momentum build.
- Immediate community call to action: apply via new forms to support moderation, advocacy, and structured community incentives.
