Date: September 2025 · Scope: DEX + Vaults + Community programs on BNB Chain
Why BNB Smart Chain?
- Low-Cost Operations: Typical fees remain cents, making farming accessible to retail and compounding viable.
- Liquidity Hub: Established DeFi user base and TVL; easier capital formation vs. launching on a new L1.
- Proven Throughput: ~0.75s observed block time during our deploy and battle-tested infra keep UX smooth during farm spikes.
- Bootstraps the L1: DEX and vault revenue directly funds Paragon L1 development—no VC dependence.
Core Infrastructure Components
Phase 1 ships two pillars that convert activity into sustainable L1 funding and community ownership.
Paragon DEX — Liquidity Engine
- Payflow + PoBE (Best Execution):Flip the MEV narrative. Trades can route via signed intents to enforce best execution and slash toxic order flow.
Off-chain intents • On-chain settlement • Verifiable best-execution - Paragon Shield (MEV-aware Routing):Route around sandwich zones, validate TWAP paths, and reject unsafe quotes before they hit mempools.
Pre-trade path vetting • TWAP/Oracle guards • Anti-sandwich checks - One-Click Farm + Auto-Yield:Swap → LP → stake in one flow, with a % of output auto-staked to compound without extra txs.
Router + Farm integration • PID0 auto-stake • Slippage-safe zaps
| Revenue Split (DEX) | Share |
|---|---|
| LP rewards | 70% |
| XPGN buyback | 20% |
| Paragon L1 development fund | 10% |
Liquidity Bootstrapping: initial pools XPGN/USDT, XPGN/BNB, USDT/BNB. Additional majors unlock at TVL milestones. Mobile-first UI.
ParagonVault — Auto-Compounding
- Strategy Router: Allocates to top-performing pools with gas-efficient batching.
- Risk Tiers: Conservative / Moderate / Aggressive vaults based on volatility and depth.
- Safety: Emergency exit path; transparent harvest schedule; time-weighted performance.
Vault Types: single-asset XPGN staking with auto-compound; LP token vaults that harvest & reinvest fees; integrations with BSC blue-chips (e.g., PancakeSwap, Venus) where prudent.
XPGN Emissions — Phase 1 (as deployed)
Farming budget escrowed: 150,000,000 XPGN
Dripper: RewardDripperEscrow (owner = DAO). Starts at startTime, then auto-switches to the base rate after +90 days.
Emission epochs (on-chain controlled)
| Epoch | When | Rate source | Daily emission (how it’s computed) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Super | Day 0 → Day 90 | Farm.RPB_SUPER_90D | daily ≈ (RPB_SUPER_90D × 86,400) / blockTime. With BSC ≈0.75s blocks, rps = RPB × 4/3, so daily ≈ rps × 86,400. |
| Base Y1 | Day 90 → Day 365 | Farm.RPB_BASE_Y1 | daily ≈ (RPB_BASE_Y1 × 86,400) / blockTime (same conversion). |
Why no fixed numbers? The on-chain constants (RPB_*) define emissions precisely; converting to “per-day” depends on live block time (we measured ~0.75s).
Pool weights (as deployed)
| Pool | Share | allocPoint |
|---|---|---|
| PID0 — XPGN single-stake | 5% | 500 |
| PID1 — XPGN/USDT LP | 70% | 7000 |
| PID2 — XPGN/WBNB LP | 25% | 2500 |
sXPGN behavior
- stXPGN is the Syrup-style wrapper for PID0: deposit XPGN → receive stXPGN 1:1; withdraw burns stXPGN.
- Boost hooks are wired (
BoostManager.setSources(stXPGN, Reputation)) so holding stXPGN can power boosts/governance per DAO params.
Liquidity seeding (context)
Seeded 5,000,000 XPGN into LPs (not part of emissions): 80% → XPGN/USDT (PID1), 20% → XPGN/WBNB (PID2), alongside the stable/WBNB legs.
Community Building & Governance Foundation
Early Adopter Benefits
- Genesis Farmer NFTs: First 1,000 farmers receive badges with perks.
- Governance Weighting: Voting power considers duration × amount staked.
- Validator Priority: Top contributors get allowlisted spots for Paragon validator set (testnet → mainnet).
Incentives
- Referral rewards: +5% bonus APR for successful referrals (DAO-tunable, sybil-resistant).
- Community: AMAs, tutorials, contests; ambassador program with monthly XPGN stipends.
- Dev bounties: Tools, dashboards, and integrations.
Governance
- Parameter votes: farming weights, fees, emissions.
- Treasury allocation: community decides L1 dev spend transparency.
- Partnership approvals and chain-migration timeline signaling.
The Strategic Vision: Funding the Future of Web3
Phase 1 converts DeFi activity into durable infrastructure funding. Farmers aren’t chasing temporary yield; they’re powering a Move-based L1 with native AI and RWA modules.
- AI-Native: AICM market unlocks on-chain inference/training, enabling AI-powered DeFi.
- RWA-Ready: Registry for compliant tokenization of equity, debt, commodities, and credits.
- Modular L2s: First-class rollups with fee-sharing and fast finality; zk-prover network on the roadmap.
- Sustainable Econ: 550M cap, DAO-controlled extensions, utility across gas, governance, and staking.
