Waggle Network Introduces Forage — Trading Feature for Vesting Tokens

Published on: 09.12.2021

Waggle Network redesigns primary market landscape: Forage — the First-ever Public-facing Trading Feature for Vesting Tokens.

Forage /ˈfɔːr.ɪdʒ/ a wide search over an area in order to obtain something, especially food or provisions

With the dedication to offering more value for both projects and the community, Waggle Network has discovered a solution to provide further liquidity for their investors while maintaining a healthy market improvement for the project team.

How does Forage Work?

Usually, primary investments have no liquidity until the vesting occurs, and tokens are only claimable in full at the end of the vesting schedule. Token vesting, however, is set to ensure that the token’s price is for long-term growth. This is the challenge that Forage debuts to resolve.

To make it super easy to understand, Forage is a marketplace where you can trade your primary investments in projects listed on Pollinate with others, making the ongoing vesting tokens more liquid.

Waggle packages your investments as Waggle NFTs, which contain the details of your invested projects, purchased allocations, and vesting terms. Forage enables you to list the NFT and sell it. You can also buy Waggle NFTs from others.

What exactly is Waggle NFT?

Waggle NFT is proof of investment, which is created after a successful purchase from project token sales on Pollinate. It acts like a blockchain-based ATM card used for token claiming and trading on Forage.

Here are the advantages of Waggle NFT:

  • Easy to transfer
  • Token claiming
  • Trade on Forage or any other OTC marketplaces
  • Provide more liquidity for investors
  • Gain access to opportunities for primary investments.
  • Waggle NFT can be seen as collateral because it contains real value

Why is Forage a Game-changer for the Primary Market?

Yes, as they keep hyping you up throughout the article, it’s time to take a look at the reasons why they say Forage can reform the landscape for primary market trading.

For the most part, Forage is an over-the-counter (OTC) marketplace that is built with a public-facing interface, providing an overview of the OTC market trends within the Waggle platform. It features an intuitive and friendly UI that enables users to navigate with ease, search for suitable investments, and trade with other users.

Normally, every OTC deal requires an escrow account to ensure a safe transaction. This costs unnecessary fees, time, and effort. On the contrary, Forage has streamlined that entire process to make it more secure and convenient for all.

All transactions that occur on Forage will have no impact on the project’s secondary markets. This unlocks more liquidity without depressing the token price. Also, buyers and sellers can keep track of the vesting schedule simply by previewing the Waggle NFT.
