Makina returns to crypto-native values, by aggregating the key lessons learned from DeFi into an elegant, structured approach. Makina strategically prioritizes delivering a valuable, proven product first, ensuring an edge and alignment across stakeholders. Makina’s community-driven go-to-market strategy ushers in an era of clearly defined principles.

1) Crypto-Native: True Fair launch, organic price discovery, driving value to the community.

  • The best communities in the space have solidified loyalty by accruing value to early believers. Makina prioritizes community by ensuring fair token distribution with no price differences between the extremely small angel round (to bootstrap launch) and ICO, with an emphasis on no VC rounds. The ICO will be offered at a compelling value versus peer comparables.

  • Makina is committed to the token valuation and price discovery being determined naturally and organically by the protocol performance, adoption, and revenue driven to token holders. Makina is a leader in the cash flow driven era of DeFi tokens.

  • Makina will unabashedly avoid the traditional price manipulators such as excessive exchange fees and market maker allocations. By freeing up additional token liquidity across the network, Makina can support operators and liquidity provider incentives over a sustainable horizon.

2) Proven product with existing PMF.

  • Makina differentiates itself by initially launching with proven, battle-tested yield strategies crafted by crypto-native professional risk managers, delivering immediate value. These flagship strategies are powered by proprietary infrastructure and software that have a successful multi-year track record and product-market fit.

3) Organic yield generation.

  • Makina strategies prioritize real, onchain yield as the foundation of returns, supporting a more balanced and durable emissions schedule compared to that historically found in DeFi. $MAK incentives may moderately enhance yields for specific user actions and protocol participation, but will never serve as the primary (inorganic) yield driver, ensuring returns remain attractive, organic, and long-term sustainable.

4) Methodical scaling of capital.

  • Total value locked (TVL) growth is strategically managed, above all, prioritizing sustainable yields to users and rigorous risk management. Governance-defined tiers will set clear limits on the scale of Machine capital allowances, fostering robust risk controls from launch.

Makina returns to crypto-native values through a community-driven strategy incorporating the lessons learned throughout the history of DeFi. By prioritizing organic yield generation, disciplined capital scaling, risk management, and fair token distribution, Makina is the standard for crypto-native asset management protocols.
