Which industry problems do you
see as the most pressing and hard
to solve?

2021
The problem that we solve
● DeFi communities fragmentation

Due to the fragmentation of the DeFi industry, the DeFi projects and services are largely isolated within their ecosystems.

Gaining traction and becoming noticeable outside the boundaries of the native ecosystem requires a lot of efforts on behalf of
the project’s initiators.

A tool that would allow to kickstart tokenized projects in other networks could be beneficial for the entire industry.

● Cross-chain connectedness and seamlessness

Recent exponential growth in the DeFi space highlighted the problem of enormous fees in the Ethereum network, the space’s
main playfield.

In 2020, alternative blockchain networks showed remarkable progress, providing similar, but significantly more affordable
services.

However, the use of alternative networks is hampered by complicated, multi-step user experience and insufficient liquidity (and
slippage) of tokens wrapped in blockchains other than Ethereum.

2021
How does Graviton solve these
problems and open new horizons?

2021
What is Graviton?
Graviton is a universal wrapped tokens’ liquidity incentivization solution that aggregates multiple cross-chain
bridges, provides seamless access to a diverse range of blockchains via Ethereum mirror accounts, and creates a
reward-based economy around wrapped assets.

Graviton unites the communities of different blockchain projects like chains, AMMs, farms, tokens, and provides
them with governance tools for boosting liquidity and increasing yield generation for their favorite wrapped digital
asset on the destination chain.

Graviton consists of:

- mega-bridge - crosschain bridge aggregator, such as multichain.xyz (evm <-> evm), ren (btc/doge <-> evm),
gravity (solana/waves/polka <-> evm) and other bridges
- mirror accounts for Ethereum-account owners to let them effortlessly access a wide range of alternative chains
- LP farming solution that creates a reward-based economy around wrapped assets

Who are early birds?

2021
Who are early birds?
To work as an incentivization instrument, the token should have liquidity, volumes, and
attractiveness for traders from the beginning.

Early birds, also dubbed as early backers, are the early supporters of the Graviton system
participating in accumulation of the initial liquidity in stablecoins as a financial foundation
for GTON tokenomics.

- Early-bird period - 2 weeks before the launch


- Allocation - 10%
- Liquidity is supplied to the Treasury contract based on Gnosis Safe Multisig

At the end of the EB stage, the initial capitalisation is established and a starting price is GTON token will instantly
determined via price discovery approach before the token is listed on DEX AMMs gain liquidity volume and
attractiveness for traders

What is Graviton’s Treasury?

2021
What is Graviton treasury?

Treasury is a multisig contract controlled by the team and the first supporters
of Graviton who at the same time are top players of the DeFi space.

Treasury stores all the undistributed GTON allocations, LP-GTON tokens


and deposited stablecoins.

Serves as a GTON collateral Serves as an AMM liquidity

Multisig signers

How many tokens are received
by users that deposit into
the Treasury?

2021
How many GTONs will a depositor receive?
At the end of the early-bird period, the impact of each early-bird contributor is calculated,
which is proportional to the amount of deposited stablecoins.

Impacts represent the contributors’ shares of the early-bird allocation, i.e. how many GTONs
will be allocated to them.

Example:
- Let’s say Treasury contains $2 mln in stablecoins
- A contributor’s deposit is $100к,
- The contributor receives ($100k/$2mln)*2.1mln GTON = 105k GTON

Impact Share of Allocation

Contributed 2.1 mln, which is


stablecoins 10% of max supply

Do the EB liquidity providers receive
all their tokens instantly?

2021
Vesting period for all governance roles
- For all the roles within Graviton, there will be token vesting

- Early birds will receive tokens right after the end of EB via daily tranches,
according to a decaying unlocking formula: 1st week: 5%, 1st year: 75%, etc

Vesting/unlock curve:

Can EB return their deposits
from the Treasury?

2021
Can EB return their deposits from the Treasury?
A deposit in Treasury is non-withdrawable in a direct way, unlike deposits into LP farms.

However, the contributors that deposit funds essentially provide collateral for GTON’s
tokenomics. Gradually, the provided funds programmatically become part of the token’s
liquidity on AMM DEXes.

Treasury serving as collateral enables GTON to be traded as a liquid asset right after the
early-bird period is over.

What are the advantages of being
an EB vs being a regular LP
for wrapped assets?

2021
EB vs being a regular liquidity provider?
Early birds LP

- Early birds determine the initial GTON price - Graviton is not a classical farm
and its capitalization

EB have the best conditions from the market cap There are no popular pairs like ETH/USDT, BNB/BUSD as on
standpoint and upside potential other farms.

- Non-diluted share and permanent - Graviton focuses on the emerging and growing projects and
governance role their tokens, currently having liquidity only on one chain, such
as Ethereum, Solana, BSC, Waves, or Fantom

EB receive a guaranteed amount of GTON Liquidity incentivization programs are limited in time (1-2 weeks)
throughout the whole emission period and, and aimed primarily at the initial bootstrapping of a project in its
consequently, amount of votes non-native chains, rather than a long-term farming solution with
a free token distribution

LP farming on Graviton should not be considered a long-term passive income source. The approach of temporary liquidity boosting
campaigns requires agile management of funds and monitoring of situation to shift between AMMs for LP when the time is right.

On the contrary, while contributing to the Treasury as EB, the generated yield can be deemed a long-term return on a deposit.

Who are SPIs - strategic partners
and investors?

2021
SPI
SPI - Strategic Partners & Investors

- Blockchain protocols, ecosystems, AMMs, farms and other projects which join us in our goal to ensure
liquidity of all tokens in various ecosystems and create user-friendly crosschain experience

- Blockchain ecosystems: Fantom, Waves, Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Avalanche,
Polkadot, Heco etc

- VC and labs of CEXes

- VCs with inhouse market making teams

- VCs seeking opportunities to increase the liquidity of their supported projects (via Catalyst program)

Ecosystems:

Any investment deals with SPIs
you can share right now?

2021
Who are SPI?

All SPI deals will be announced and made after the early-bird period is completed.

For such a kind of investment deals, having a market cap evaluation is crucial, which will be
established after the conclusion of the early-bird period and the beginning of the GTON
circulation

Will the SPIs have vesting or will
they receive tokens instantly?

2021
SPI vesting

SPIs have the same vesting period and the unlocking occurs by the same
formula as for early birds, starting in two weeks after the deal is closed.

SPI deals can be made within one or several years since the start of Graviton.

Do core contributors’ tokens
have vesting?

2021
Core contributors’ vesting

Core contributors are involved with the project development e.g. project founder,
developers, multisig signers, as well as investment, technical, and legal advisors.

All core contributors’ tokens have vesting identical to EB formula, which starts in three
months after the end of EB.

What other allocations are there
besides EB, SPI, and core contributors?

2021
Other allocations
In addition, there are allocations for LP, Backers, and Operations. All of them are locked in the Treasury indefinitely and will be
unlocked in small portions for growth and engagement purposes identified by team, governance and multisig

LPs are allocations for incentivization of wrapped tokens, these allocations will be done via token swap deals with other
projects

Ops - these are infrastructure investments (oracles/bridges), airdrops, bug bounties, audits and ambassadors

Backers is a special allocation for single sided IDOs and GTON initial liquidity for IDOs.

go-to-market plan?

2021
What is GTON’s go-to-market?

Key focus on the DeFi ecosystem incorporation

Graviton tends to evolve organically through inbound integrations and partnerships. Due to its
blockchain- and bridge-agnostic approach, Graviton becomes a universal hub for inter-chain
liquidity and activity.

AMMs Networks

Bridges

What is the Graviton
Catalyst Program?

2021
What is Graviton Catalyst?
Graviton Catalyst is a 1-2 weeks-long program
aimed at encouraging communities of different
projects to wrap their tokens into a desired
blockchain and provide liquidity on that blockchain to
AMM pools.

Members of a community can stake their GTON into


governance to nominate their favorite project for
participation in the Graviton Catalyst program and
increase the staking yield of its LP tokens.

After a program cycle ends, the community can


reactivate their project’s participation by voting
again and re-listing.
