MetavaultDAO Introduction

Published on: 27.02.2022

Metavault is a community-controlled investment platform and decentralised venture capital vehicle that allows anyone to invest in the latest and most profitable Blockchain, DeFi and metaverse projects and strategies.

Metav.ault scours the crypto landscape for disruptive new projects or protocols and allocates treasury funds into the most promising instruments at an early stage to capture the best rewards. The rewards from these investments are paid out to investors, who can also benefit from the success of the platform by staking the MVD token associated with it and earning further rewards.

One of the core tenets of Metavault is the fact that the investment strategy is dictated by the Metavault DAO members, with the investment selection process, from voting which protocols to invest in to the rewards paid out as a result all made public. These DAO members also get to steer the direction of the project in general, voting on improvements to the protocol metrics and tokenomics.

Game Theory Modelling

Metavault incorporates the same Game Theory model utilised by other such protocols but improves on their shortcomings and incorporates an important twist which they will cover later in this piece. The model essentially references the level of benefit to two parties involved in an exchange, which in our case is you (the user) and us (Metavault). The various instruments available on Metavault all come with different levels of potential gain, ranging from 1–6. These are referenced as 1,1; 3,3; 4,4; 6,6 etc.

Staking

MVD tokens are intended to be a store of value rather than a mere stablecoin, and as such it is our intention to maintain and hopefully increase the value of the MVD token relative to the principal investment. Staking is the primary method by which the MVD token will accrue value over time.

Bonds

Bonding is the process of selling tokens or LP shares to the Metavault protocol in return for MVD tokens. The benefit for the bonder is that entering into a bond offers the opportunity to acquire MVD tokens at a discount to market price, generating a yield for the duration of the bond.

Metavault Minting Model

Metavault also features an improved minting model over existing protocols. Token minting models in such protocols commonly have a 1:1 ratio, i.e. for every bond sold, a token is minted and sent to the DAO treasury.
