XALGO is a unique and innovative cryptographic project, designed to bridge Algorand Governance to other blockchain networks. Thanks to its interest-bearing nature, investors can benefit from a continuous governance commitment without periodic burning. The project relies on Algo Liquid Governors and Folks Finance smart contracts to automate its voting and recommitment processes, making it easy and convenient for xALGO users to reap Algorand Governance rewards.
Unique Features of the xALGO Project
What sets xALGO apart from other projects is its ability to increase in value over time due to its interest-bearing structure. Furthermore, users can provide liquidity to DEXs’ liquidity pools and earn trading fees, adding to its overall appeal.
Folks Finance
Folks Finance is a non-proprietary DeFi protocol offering a range of financial tools for digital assets. Its smart-contract technology allows for advanced strategies as well as the elimination of centralized interference risks. Furthermore, the implementation of the Folks Router aggregator provides native swaps on the protocol and composability with other operations. The use cases of gALGO and xALGO, enabled by Algo Liquid Governance and Cross-chain Algo Liquid Governance, are expanding rapidly.
Understanding Wrapped Tokens and "Depegging"
When a wrapped token "de-pegs" from its underlying asset, the market value of the wrapped token and the value of the underlying asset are no longer in sync. This can occur due to various external factors such as market fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD). However, the de-pegging of a token from its underlying asset does not affect the backing of the xALGO token by the underlying Algo.
The Ratio of xALGO to Algo
The ratio of xALGO to Algo depends on the amount of Algo deposited in the xALGO mint pool compared to the amount of xAlgo in circulation. For example, if there are 100 Algo and 100 xALGO at the beginning of governance, the ratio is 1:1. At the end of governance, assuming a reward rate of 15%, 15 ALGO will enter the pool. The new ratio will then be 115/100 = 1.15
