Project brief

The project aims to break the boundaries between CeFi and DeFi and provide a smooth user experience similar to a centralized exchange, while maintaining the unmanaged nature and security of decentralized services.

Participation Guidelines and Rules

On November 27, the new project Infinex created by Synthetix founder Kain Warwick officially announced that TGE will be launched soon,It plans to make a public offering on Sonar with a US$300 million FDV, plans to sell 5% of the INX token supply, with a goal of raising US$15 million, and chooses Sonar on the new platform.

According to Infinex\'s official introduction, this public offering will have two participation paths: guaranteed quotas and lottery allocation. The guaranteed quota part is for users with Patron NFT in mobile (unlocked) status. The specific guarantee policies are as follows:

● 1 Patron NFT: US$2000 quota;

● 5 Patron NFT: US$15000 quota;

● 25 Patron NFT: US$100,000 quota;

● 100 Patron NFTs: US$500,000 quota;

● Allocation follows an accumulation mechanism. For example, if you hold 32 Patron NFTs in liquid status, your quota will be: 100000+15000 + 2000= US$119000.

Lottery allocation is open to all users, and anyone can apply to participate. The specific rules are as follows:

● The minimum subscription amount is US$200, and the maximum subscription amount is US$5000;

It is worth mentioning that this public offering will have a one-year lock-up limit, but there will be an early unlocking clause. The specific design of early unlocking is as follows:

● At the time of TGE, if you choose to unlock early, it will become a subscription at a price of US$1 billion in FDV;

● During the one-year lock-up period, the price will linearly fall back to the initially set US$300 million;

● If the trading price of INX after listing is higher than the real-time early unlock price, some public offering participants may choose to unlock early, thus smoothing the unlocking curve.
