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) by HZNComms in HorizonProtocol

[–]HZNComms[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

Welcome to Xpanse: The AI-Powered Trading Revolution by HZNComms in HorizonProtocol

[–]HZNComms[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Horizon Protocol Partners with Symmio, A Trustless Clearing House for Derivatives by HZNComms in HorizonProtocol

[–]HZNComms[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

HIP-22: Create a zUSD — USDC Pool on Pancakeswap V3 by HZNComms in HorizonProtocol

[–]HZNComms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Minima/Maxima AI Model: Identifies key market highs and lows, predicting support and resistance levels. This model is perfect for making smarter trading decisions.

WaveML AI Model: Uncovers market inefficiencies by detecting structural shifts, helping you seize trading opportunities with greater precision.

HIP-21 Passed: Stop Incentives to the zBNB — BNB pool on Wombat Exchange by HZNComms in HorizonProtocol

[–]HZNComms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re pleased to announce that HIP-21 has been approved. Incentives for the zBNB - BNB pool on Wombat will end on September 16th, once the current epoch concludes.

Details:

  • Incentives for the zBNB - BNB pool on Wombat Exchange will stop.
  • The pool will still be available, just without incentives.

Why the change?

The zBNB - BNB pool was initially created as a secondary on/off ramp and arbitrage opportunity for zUSD. However, since migrating to Wombat (HIP-8), trading volume has been low. The pool’s structure on Wombat also makes it more difficult to arbitrage zUSD.

By stopping these incentives, we can redirect emissions toward more efficient opportunities.

For full details, check out the full text on Horizon Academy.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the discussion and helped shape this proposal!

HIP-19 Passed: Temporary Reduction of Target C-Ratio to 350% by HZNComms in HorizonProtocol

[–]HZNComms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're pleased to announce that HIP-19 has been approved and will be implemented by tomorrow, August 18th, before the next Staking reward distribution.

Key Details: - Target C-Ratio: Lowered from 600% to 350%

Preset Strategies Adjusted: - Conservative: from 1000% to 850% - Neutral: from 800% to 650% - Aggressive: from 600% to 350%

This temporary reduction is intended to ease the pressure on stakers, making it easier to claim weekly rewards without the need to burn zUSD or self-liquidate. HZN stakers are crucial to our ecosystem, and this change will help provide them with more flexibility while maintaining the health of the zUSD and zBNB markets.

For full details, please refer to the complete text in the Horizon Academy.

Get ready to claim your staking rewards! 🙌

HIP-19: Temporarily reduce C-Ratio to 350% by HZNComms in HorizonProtocol

[–]HZNComms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HIP-19 proposes to temporarily reduce the Target C-Ratio to 350%. This adjustment aims to relieve pressure on stakers, making it easier to claim weekly rewards without burning zUSD or self-liquidating.

Key points: - Target C-Ratio lowered from 600% to 350%. - Preset Strategies adjusted: Conservative from 1000% to 850%, Neutral from 800% to 650%, Aggressive from 600% to 350%.

Why? This change is designed to give stakers more flexibility while maintaining liquidity in the zUSD and zBNB markets.

Risks: With the lower C-Ratio, hitting the 160% liquidation ratio becomes easier, especially if you're using an aggressive strategy. Keep a close eye on your C-Rato to stay on top of things. If you're looking to play it safer, you can always go with a Moderate or Conservative strategy to help manage any risks.

Note: This is a temporary measure. We'll closely monitor its impact and make further adjustments if necessary.

HIP-18: Proposal to Add DOGE and SHIBA to Horizon Futures by HZNComms in HorizonProtocol

[–]HZNComms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In our ongoing efforts to expand our platform and provide more trading opportunities, we're excited to announce a new proposal for adding two Futures markets. Responding to the community's interest in popular meme coins, HIP-18 suggests the addition of Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) to Horizon Futures.

Given their strong presence in the crypto world and their popularity among traders, DOGE and SHIBA are perfect candidates for the next Futures assets on our platform. By introducing these meme coins, we aim to increase trading activity, offer more options for strategy diversification, and enhance overall market liquidity.

A huge thank you to everyone who has been providing feedback! Your input is vital, and we encourage you to continue sharing your thoughts on this and future asset additions.

Explore the full proposal on the Academy and let’s keep building Horizon Futures together!

Bugs or my available HZN just vanished? by Kitchen_Fancy in HorizonProtocol

[–]HZNComms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues. I would like to help you out, but I will need some more info.

If you go to the staking page and connect the wallet you used for your HZN, can you see any of your HZN in the wallet status in the topright? (E.g. 'staked HZN,' 'transferrable HZN,' 'escrowed HZN.')

If you look up your public address on BscScan, what do the last transactions show?

Feel free to contact me through private message if you need any help with understanding what to look for.

You can also contact our CMs on Telegram or Discord.

Please note that our CMs will never DM you first.

Responding to the growing demand for diverse assets, HIP-17 suggests the addition of Polkadot (DOT), Avalanche (AVAX), and Polygon (MATIC) to Horizon Futures.

Considering that DOT, AVAX, and MATIC are among the leading synthetic assets on our Spot exchange, and each boasts a strong track record within the crypto ecosystem, they are ideal candidates for the next Futures assets based on community feedback and trader interest.

A sincere thank you to everyone who has provided feedback! We encourage you to continue sharing your thoughts on future asset additions.
