Token Utilities

DCB serves as the foundation of our whole ecosystem. Use the sub-pages to explore more details on how the utility works and what metrics are involved.

Reputation score: By taking part in the platform, users build a reputation score. This score is used to determine the amount of allocation a user receives in oversubscribed fundraising campaigns.Stake: Staking rewards users with a reputation score, a share of platform fees, and long-term community reward venting-designed to support incentives that last for the ecosystem.Liquidity mining: Token holders can deposit their tokens as liquidity and earn a portion of trading fees. Decubate will also introduce a high fixed distribution on top of those fees to make participation more attractive.Rewards: After a project is successfully incubated, token holders who staked their DCB tokens will automatically receive a portion of an airdrop from the incubated project, without having to put up allocation funds. Additional rewards will be shared later. Also, a limited set of NFTs will be awarded to the most reputable community members.Vote: Let community members vote on projects they want to see incubated and funded, earning reputation score in the process. In addition, the community will be able to rate different areas of projects. Voting rewards users with reputation score.Pay: This is the platform currency used for key services like incubation whitelisting, contract configurations, audit payments, advice, marketing, content, and more.Governance: Token holders can vote and take part in new product features, new token utilities, and updates intended to increase the community ecosystem’s impact.Deflationary: 10% of all platform fees are burned, while 90% is returned to the staking reward pool. For example: the smart contract burns the fees, and 10% is sent to a burn address.

Features

To drive broad participation and engagement across the ecosystem, we’ve created twelve features that position Decubate as a next-generation social incubator.

Cross-chain and interoperability: The platform can be used across multiple blockchains. It enables information sharing between different blockchain networks without the need for an intermediary. For example, you can start a fundraising campaign on multiple networks.Smart-vesting: We’ve seen crowdfunding vesting approaches that don’t feel fair or realistic. Innovators can choose from different smart vesting options.Fair allocation: We support decentralization. Allocation is defined and managed between the innovator and the investor, with both sides setting the agreements.Incubating strategy: Rather than focusing only on blockchain startups, we plan to work with traditional incubators across Europe (with global expansion later) to discover projects with established products and brands that can benefit from Blockchain technology and solutions.Community driven and governance: The community is a central-yet important-part of the ecosystem. Fees are distributed to the community, and they can use that value to vote on new ideas or platform features. The community makes the decisions.Reputation mechanics: We believe in a genuine reputation model. The community should be rewarded for high reputation scores. Rewards can be earned by providing feedback, auditing projects, supplying liquidity, or committing other resources (marketing, audits, capital, general idea’s) toward reputation and other rewards (tokens).Tokenized assets: The platform will support tokenization of traditional assets. We strongly believe in tokenization, which is why it’s included in our roadmap.Contract configuration: Innovators can set up their incubation plan, contracts, vesting, and more. No technical background is required for this stage-we’ll handle it. They decide, we build.Effortless staking and pooling: We’ll provide staking strategies to reward the community for placing trust in our future. Our roadmap will take years to complete, and we intend to stay committed.Non-custodial: We aim to connect innovators with investors through DeFi-based approaches for fundraising, vesting, permission-less listings, and allocation distribution.Cross-chain listings: Incubated projects can be deployed on different blockchains. We will rely on cross-chain, multi-bridge exchange approaches to boost liquidity, increase impact, and reduce high fees.Reputation NFT’s: We recognize there’s demand for NFTs, and we plan to use a mechanism that rewards users with the highest reputation scores on the platform. If implemented well, gamification can have a significant effect.

Strategy

Decubate outlines a short-term, midterm, and long-term strategy.

Even though we believe the future will be tokenized, the path ahead is long and uneven, with technical and regulatory constraints that still must be improved to reach the full potential of our mission. Our strategy is built around current regulatory frameworks, technological capabilities, and market demand, which we divide into four phases.

Crowdfunding incubator (Year 1): key objectives:

Innovators can submit their incubation plans to Decubate and easily create a pool contract using Binance Smart Chain and Ethereum to pool funds for their token sale, without Decubate taking custody of those funds.Investors can access project information, vote, rank, and leave feedback-earning reputation score that boosts their allocation rights. The top-ranked users will receive distinct NFTs that allow them to act as official advisors, ambassadors, developers, or auditors for a fixed reward.Build a strategic partnership with more than 50 reputable incubators worldwide that refer blockchain startups and traditional startups with blockchain solutions to Decubate.

Blockchain solutions and scale-up (Year 2): key objectives:

Move to main-net on Substrate to meaningfully expand blockchain capabilities such as API’s, multilayer solutions, tokenization, and infrastructure.Refine core user journeys and features to further bring to life our vision of a decentralized crowdfunding incubator. Decubate does not have authority over incubated projects-the community does.Define an approach for tokenizing assets and pursue the required licenses and platform infrastructure.

Phase 3 and Maturity (Beyond): key objective: Decubate is envisioned as an all-in-one blockchain solutions platform for any business that wants to use tokenization of any asset, funding, DeFi solutions, KYC solutions, and access to a community with over a million active users.
