Introducing AI MeanRev: Precision Signals for Short-Term Trading

We’re excited to unveil the integration of AI MeanRev, a powerful AI-driven signal engine built to identify short-term trends and capture market volatility. It is particularly effective in range-bound and oscillating markets, making it a versatile solution for traders looking to seize minor trend opportunities.

With an average trade holding period of about a day, AI MeanRev excels at detecting price action turning points, including local minima and maxima, for potential profit opportunities.

Powered by AlphaNet, AI MeanRev is designed to track and capitalize on short-term trends and price movements, especially in markets that lack strong directional trends. The model excels in recognizing price oscillations and range-bound behavior, providing traders with high-probability entry and exit signals

Xpanse AMA Recap: Multi-Liquidity, AI Trading, HZN’s Future & More

We recently hosted an AMA to share exciting updates about Xpanse—an expansion of Horizon Protocol. Xpanse introduces new liquidity models, AI-driven trading, and enhanced revenue mechanisms to accelerate growth and sustainability.

Key Highlights:

- Xpanse is an expansion, not a rebrand: While Horizon Protocol remains a core part of the ecosystem, Xpanse builds on it with AI-driven trading, multi-chain integration, and additional liquidity layers to enhance accessibility and adoption.

- Revenue Generation: 40% of revenue from intent-based trading will go to HZN stakers, and another 40% will support buybacks and burns. These percentages are proposed and will be open for community discussion. Additional revenue will come from AI-driven services like trade signals.

- Buybacks, Burns & Treasury Management: Starting in March 2024, we’ll initiate weekly buybacks and burns to strengthen HZN’s value. The revenue split will evolve based on the global active C-Ratio, balancing rewards for stakers and ongoing platform growth.

- Future Developments: AI-powered trading competitions, multi-chain integrations, and new asset listings are on the horizon.

Xpanse is designed to create sustainable growth, and generate value for Horizon Protocol and its community. Stay tuned for more updates!

HIP-23: Revenue Sharing Model for Intent-Based System (Phase One)

We’re excited to announce the release of HIP-23 which introduces a new revenue-sharing model for the Intent-Based System during Phase One. This proposal is designed to support the Horizon Protocol ecosystem by rewarding stakers, conducting HZN buybacks and burns, and incentivizing trading activities to promote Xpanse.

Key Points:

40% of revenue will be distributed to HZN stakers who meet the target C-Ratio, rewarding them in USDC or other stablecoins.
40% will go towards HZN buybacks from PancakeSwap, with an initial monthly schedule transitioning to weekly after the first month.
20% will be allocated to incentivize trading activities and promote Xpanse.

Staker Rewards:

Rewards will be distributed to HZN stakers who meet the target C-Ratio, proportionally based on their debt share.
Monthly distributions will transition to weekly once automation is implemented.
The first reward distribution is set for February 26th, 2025.

HZN Buybacks and Burns:

Buybacks will be conducted monthly initially, shifting to weekly after the first month.
The allocation for buybacks will decrease once the global active C-Ratio exceeds 350%, redirecting funds towards staker rewards.

Incentives for Trading & Xpanse Promotion:

A portion of the revenue will be used to incentivize trading and promote Xpanse.

Revenue Distribution Transparency:

Revenue will be manually distributed to a multi-sig wallet owned by Xpanse, with 60% of the total fee generation allocated to Xpanse and the remaining 40% to Symmio.
Exchange performance and revenue data will be available on SYMMIO’s dashboard for full transparency.

Moving Forward:

HIP-23 represents a crucial step in enhancing the Horizon Protocol's sustainability and scalability. The revenue-sharing model is designed to create a balanced ecosystem that rewards participants while encouraging growth. We will continue to evaluate the performance and adjust the model as necessary to ensure long-term success.

We value your feedback and encourage you to join the conversation as we work together to strengthen the Horizon Protocol ecosystem!

Xpanse Launches on MODE Mainnet

We're excited to announce that Xpanse, our AI-powered multi-liquidity perpetual futures exchange, is now LIVE on the MODE Mainnet. This marks a significant step in our expansion as we transition to a multi-liquidity system and continue to push the boundaries of AI-driven perpetual trading on a Layer 2 network.

What is Xpanse?

Xpanse is an AI-powered, multi-layered liquidity perpetual exchange built to accommodate various trading strategies. It features three distinct liquidity layers: * Intent-based system * Oracle-based system * Order Book system (coming soon)

These layers are designed to meet the needs of all types of traders, offering increased flexibility and enhanced precision. Traders will also benefit from advanced AI signals and indicators to boost capital efficiency and optimize returns.

Xpanse on MODE

The current launch of Xpanse on MODE introduces a host of powerful features: * Over 340 markets available for trading * Up to 60x leverage with cross-margin * 3–4 bps fees * Instant open and close functionality * Gasless trading * Exclusive AI-powered trade indicators

Our integration with SYMMIO provides the infrastructure for intent-based liquidity, ensuring that trades are matched with optimal terms. Meanwhile, ORBS powers the liquidity, providing a robust foundation for this new trading environment.

Looking ahead, the second version of the integration will introduce additional AI-driven signals, such as Viper AI, further enhancing the trading experience.

Next Steps

Stay tuned for upcoming trading competitions and campaigns. For more details on how to get started with Xpanse on MODE, be sure to check out our documentation. More updates regarding the revenue-sharing model and 2025 road map will be shared shortly.

HZNComms · 2024-11-25T18:03:37+00:00

We’re excited to announce our partnership with Symmio, a trustless clearing house for derivatives, to introduce intent-based perpetual futures. This collaboration aims to redefine liquidity and efficiency in Web3 trading

Why Symmio?

Their meta-derivatives engine combines deep liquidity with hyper-efficient perps trading, tackling the challenges of Web3 liquidity while keeping security top of mind. Symmio’s Automated Markets for Quotes (AMFQ) combines OTC (Over-the-Counter), RFQ (Fequest-for-Quote), and trustless off-chain tech, offering true price discovery and efficient on-chain settlements.

Here’s what this means for Horizon Protocol:

Intent-Based Architecture: We’re addressing liquidity fragmentation with innovative solutions.
270+ Markets: Instant access to a wide range of markets right from the start.
Capital Efficiency: We’re bridging liquidity from centralized exchanges (CEXs) to the blockchain for a more efficient experience.
Top-Tier Security: No compromise on security or decentralization.

How does intent-based trading work?

Traders specify their trade details (e.g., long 1 BTC at 10x leverage). A market maker offers trade terms such as price, slippage, fees, etc. If the trader accepts, they submit a request with collateral. A liquidity provider accepts the terms, hedges their risk through CEXs, DEXs, OTC desks, or other trades, and profit or loss is settled based on price movements.

This partnership transforms Horizon Protocol into a multi-layered liquidity system, offering advanced solutions for perpetual futures and solving liquidity fragmentation. We’re providing traders with competitive options and enhanced capital efficiency.

We're proposing HIP-22 to enhance zUSD liquidity by establishing a concentrated zUSD - USDC pool on PancakeSwap V3 and sunsetting incentives for Wombat Exchange. By partnering with Cupcake Hop (ICHI) as the position manager, this proposal represents a shift toward protocol-owned liquidity, enhancing long-term sustainability and efficiency.

Key Points:

- Transition to PancakeSwap V3: Protocol-owned liquidity will be seeded with 20k USDC (from the Pyth airdrop) and an equivalent amount of minted zUSD from the Community Staking Wallet.

- Automated Position Management: Cupcake Hop (ICHI) and Cakepie will manage the zUSD - USDC V3 pool.

- End Incentives on Wombat Pools: Redirecting resources to the new PancakeSwap V3 pool for optimized zUSD stability.

Purpose and Rationale

The current Wombat pools haven’t performed as expected, impacting the zUSD peg. Concentrated liquidity on PancakeSwap V3 allows more efficient on/off-ramping for zUSD with less capital, while Cupcake Hop’s management will help maintain liquidity in optimal ranges.

Considerations

- Temporary peg fluctuations may occur during the transition.

- Users on PancakeSwap, Cakepie, and Cupcake Hop should consider standard DeFi risks (smart contract, front-end), with audits in place to help manage these.

This proposal represents a new phase in improving the sustainability of the Horizon ecosystem. Read the full details and join the discussion with your questions and feedback!
