🌪 Welcome to Chronos, the premier community-owned liquidity layer built on the Arbitrum ecosystem. @everyone

🧿 You might be wondering, “Why does Arbitrum need another Solidly fork?” We asked ourselves this same question. In our opinion, the current state of ve(3,3) on Arbitrum leaves a lot to be desired. This isn’t meant as a dig against our competition. In fact, we’re grateful to the projects that have come before us.

By studying what works and what doesn’t among our predecessors, we believe we’ve found the optimal version of ve(3,3) that can fulfill Andre Cronje’s original vision and become a true cornerstone of Arbitrum DeFi. By aligning incentives so that they benefit all of the protocol’s participants – its users, its partner protocols, and the ecosystem as a whole – its our mission to contribute in a meaningful way to the continued growth and success of the Arbitrum ecosystem.

🧩 At Chronos, there is no VC investment and no private token sale. Instead, we’ve chosen a bootstrapping model similar to the one first used by Thena: by raising funds through the sale of the chrNFTs, we’ll generate enough capital to bribe CHR’s initial liquidity. As the flywheel takes effect, the holders of these NFTs will become “Community VCs”, and will earn a share of protocol revenues into perpetuity.

✈️ To everyone reading this, thank you for being here. More information about the protocol, the upcoming airdrop of CHR, the whitelisting procedure for the chrNFTs, and Chronos’s launch partners will be released over the coming days. Good things come to those who wait, and we plan to be around for a long, long time to come.

🌪 We’re excited to welcome Yield Farming Index as the first of many partnerships coming to Chronos.

👨‍🌾 Yield Farming Index is DeFi hedge fund built on the #Arbitrum ecosystem that uses sustainable, delta-neutral strategies to provide #realyield for holders and stakers.

YFX will be utilizing Chronos as their liquidity incentive hub and we are happy to welcome the YFX community with a launch airdrop!

⏳ Time is now!

🌪 We’re also excited to welcome Overnight Finance as the Second of our partnerships.

💧 Overnight is a DeFi protocol behind USD+, a yield generating stablecoin. USD+ stablecoin can be instantly minted/redeemed 1:1 to USDC. On the backend, the collateral executes yield-bearing strategies that generate a daily profit to users via USD+ rebase

Overnight Fi will be voting and bribing on Chronos to increase liquidity for their USD+ based pairs. As a high volume token, USD+ will generate sustainable revenues to Chronos voters.

We’re glad to be partnering with Overnight Fi and our collaboration to bring innovation to Arbitrum. The Overnight Fi community will be a part of the Chronos launch airdrop.

⏳ Time is a resource, Chronos is the guardian.

Introducing our next partner - Dyson.
As part of this partnership Dyson will be creating a liquid wrapper for Chronos's veNFTs.

Benefits of the liquid wrapper include:

💧Reduced sell pressure for $CHR
💧Less $CHR in circulation
💧Boosted $CHR yields without locking

Users will be able to trade their CHR for spCHR - a tradeable token that earns fees just like the veNFT. Dyson will lock all the CHR they receive to veCHR and use it to vote for the CHR/spCHR pair on Chronos to help defend the peg.

Users will also have the option of staking their CHR/spCHR on the Dyson platform to earn additional yield.

MINT IS LIVE!!

A few things to keep in mind:

1️⃣ If all chrNFTs are not sold out, the airdrop to minters will increase.
2️⃣ If only 1/2 are minted, each minter will receive more than 1,600 CHR
3️⃣ If all chrNFTs sell out, each minter will receive around 800 CHR

👉 That means the less theNFTs are minted, the more attractive it is to mint

When the DEX launches, we will provide initial liquidity to set the price of CHR at around $0.35 per token.

The secondary sale value is based on future & present revenue generated from Chronos's fees.
