What Is Cadence Protocol (CAD)?
Cadence Protocol is an intent-centric perpetuals aggregator first launching as the flagship perpetuals protocol on Canto that will be the most capital-efficient use of liquidity by integrating Real World Assets (RWAs), Contract-Secured Revenue (CSR), and Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs). This protocol will be integrated into Cadence's intent-based execution network, Symphony. Cadence, powered by Symphony, will tackle liquidity fragmentation and redefine DApp user experience to revolutionize the DeFi ecosystem.
CAD serves as the project's main utility and value capture mechanism. As Cadence evolves, the value of the CAD token will increase with the extra use-cases from Symphony integration.
Utility of the CAD token includes:
- 100% of fee revenue redistributed to CAD and CLP stakers
- Governance voting rights
- Long-term increasing share of protocol through the exit fee mechanism
- Staking benefits for traders such as increased incentives and rewards
- Referral program rewards
- Solvers must stake CAD to participate (intent-centric infrastructure Symphony)
- Gas payment token via Account Abstraction (intent-centric infrastructure Symphony)
- Other unique strategies and products in the future (intent-centric infrastructure Symphony)
Cadence Protocol’s features include:
Cadence’s multi-asset pool (CLP) will create micro-economies for auto-compounding, collateralization, and leveraged yield; thereby attracting more liquidity and strengthening Canto's ecosystem and Cadence's overall TVL thus benefiting users.
Cadence Protocol will be the most capital efficient perpetuals protocols through the integration of three key features that provide users with a suite of additional incentives and yield-generating assets.
These features include:
- Contract Secured Revenue (CSR)
- Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs)
- RWAs as Collateral
In Q3 2024, Cadence will integrate our intent-centric infrastructure that serves to transform DeFi. This intent-centric execution network utilizes account abstraction to facilitate cross-protocol transactions, removing user complexities by abstracting base layer infrastructure.
Cadence connects protocols together, creating a unified and interconnected ecosystem. Protocols, super-apps, and networks can tap into Cadence Intent infrastracture and instantly connect into liquidity and protocols across every chain. This connectivity creates a more competitive yet collaborative environment between protocols, ultimately benefiting the end user and accelerating the growth of DeFi.
