Why BNB Smart Chain?
- Low cost Fees in cents keep farming accessible and compounding viable.
- Liquidity hub Established DeFi users and TVL make capital formation far easier than launching directly on a fresh L1.
- Throughput Fast confirmation and smoother UX during spikes in farm and vault activity.
- Bootstraps L1 DEX and Vault revenue help fund Paragon Chain without relying on VC dependence.
Core Infrastructure
Two pillars convert activity into sustainable L1 funding and community ownership.
- Security & control Multisig ownership plus timelock for sensitive changes, with protocol pause and emergency exits.
- Transparency Rich on-chain events for swaps, intents, surplus, emissions, and vault harvests.
- Governance veXPGN lockers receive fee flows, while GaugeController steers emissions.
Paragon Protocol — How the pieces fit
- ParagonRouter Spot, LP, and zap flows with slippage-safe one-click farm routing and optional auto-stake.SafeERC20 · permit support · zap to LP then stake
- BestExecution + Payflow Users sign intents with minOut and deadline. PayflowExecutor validates the path, executes settlement, guarantees minOut, and computes surplus.Off-chain intent · on-chain settlement · replay protection by user/nonce
- PoBE surplus Any execution above minOut becomes surplus and is routed through TreasurySplitter into DAO, LP, and locker-aligned flows.
- veXPGN DAO FeeDistributor streams value to lockers while GaugeController steers emissions by vote.
Paragon DEX — Liquidity Engine
- Payflow + PoBE Signed-intent routing enforces best execution and reduces toxic order flow.Off-chain intents · on-chain settlement · verifiable best execution
- Paragon Shield Avoids unsafe pathing, validates price protections, and rejects poor execution zones before settlement.Path vetting · guards · anti-sandwich design
- One-Click Farm + Auto-Yield Swap → LP → stake in one flow, with optional auto-stake for smoother compounding.Router/Farm integration · slippage-safe zaps
| Item | Share |
|---|---|
| LP rewards | 70% |
| XPGN buyback | 20% |
| Paragon Chain development fund | 10% |
Liquidity bootstrapping: XPGN/USDT, XPGN/BNB, and USDT/BNB first. Additional majors expand with liquidity milestones.
Payflow → veXPGN DAO split
When Payflow executes an intent, users receive at least minOut. Any extra execution value becomes surplus and is routed on-chain through TreasurySplitter.
| Bucket | Share | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol Treasury | 60% | DAO treasury, runway, audits, L1 build |
| LP Flow Rebates | 35% | Rebate gauge for active LPs |
| veXPGN Lockers | 5% | FeeDistributor for governance lockers |
ParagonVault — Auto-Compounding
- Strategy Router Allocates between top pools with gas-efficient harvesting and batching.
- Risk tiers Conservative, Moderate, and Aggressive routes based on volatility and depth.
- Safety Emergency exit, transparent harvest schedule, and time-weighted performance.
Vault types: single-asset XPGN auto-compound, LP token vaults, and prudent BSC integrations.
Volts — AI Agent inside ParagonVault
Volts are opt-in AI agents that manage sub-allocations within vault guardrails. They rebalance, harvest, and rotate between approved pools under transparent policy controls.
- Policy-bound decisions DAO-approved caps for slippage, turnover, drawdown, and explicit allowlists.
- Explainability Actions can be paired with human-readable reasoning and signals.
- Safety net Pause and kill-switch support with time-boxed experiments and fallback behavior.
- Incentives Optional agent performance fee only on realized excess above baseline.
| Guard | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Allowed pools | XPGN/USDT, XPGN/WBNB, USDT/WBNB | DAO-managed allowlist |
| Slippage cap | ≤ 0.25% | Per trade |
| Turnover cap | ≤ 50% TVL/day | Limits churn |
| Drawdown guard | −8% / 7d | Auto-pause trigger |
| Max position weight | ≤ 60% per pool | Avoids concentration |
XPGN Emissions — as deployed
Farming budget escrowed: 150,000,000 XPGN
Dripper: RewardDripperEscrow, DAO-owned, with boosted launch phase followed by base emissions.
| Epoch | When | Rate source | Daily emission |
|---|---|---|---|
| Super | Day 0 → Day 90 | Farm.RPB_SUPER_90D | Block-time dependent |
| Base Y1 | Day 90 → Day 365 | Farm.RPB_BASE_Y1 | Block-time dependent |
| Pool | Share | allocPoint |
|---|---|---|
| PID0 — XPGN single-stake | 5% | 500 |
| PID1 — XPGN/USDT LP | 70% | 7000 |
| PID2 — XPGN/WBNB LP | 25% | 2500 |
Liquidity seeding
Seeded 440,040 XPGN into LPs outside the emissions budget, with most directed toward XPGN/USDT and the rest toward XPGN/WBNB.
