# Proposal to Whitelist Token (COT)

## This proposal is expected to appear on Snapshot for voting on Monday 26th April 2021 at 12:00 pm UTC.

# TL;DR

- Low risk, tiny co-investment, with minimal liability
- Proposed co-investment is only 5,000 BNT (1/4 the standard small cap)
- There are no apparent security concerns that would prohibit whitelist status.
- There is no reason to doubt the legitimacy of the CoTrader project.

### Token Address: 0x5c872500c00565505f3624ab435c222e558e9ff8

### Project Website: [CoTrader.com](http://CoTrader.com)

# Token Security

COT does not have an elastic supply, or rebase mechanism. The COT contracts do not have permissions that grant administrators unrestricted mint/burn capabilities. The COT token supply is fixed at 20,000,000,000, of which 18,886,520,618 are in current circulation. The contracts and addresses with the highest concentration of COT tokens are predominantly the token vesting contracts and the team and project treasury wallets.

# Project

CoTrader is the world’s first DeFi investment funds platform live on multiple chains, world’s first on BSC, and world’s first on the Ethereum mainnet since July 2018. It’s now further expanding its platform and COT token to all major EVMs, with Liquidity Mining (LM) starting April 30

# Tokenomics

- Utility  
1 Governance - voting for management team. Coming: control treasury, system parameters, etc  
2 Access COT based funds. Coming: fund shares marketplace  
3 Unit of account measure - Measure of COT funds. Coming: fund shares trading  
4 Stake - Fixed & floating APR rewards programs for locking & providing liquidity

- Platform Revenue  
Traders set their own performance fees, eg 20%, from what they earn their CoTraders.  
The platform applies a karma principle & takes the same %, eg 20% of 20%, or 4%

- Buybacks  
100% of the platform revenue buys COT  
50% is burned  
25% goes to DAO for operations (eg offering LM - Liquidity Mining)  
25% goes to a DAO voted management team  
10% of each fund AUM will automatically buy COT

- Burns  
50% of platform revenues are burned, ongoing.

- Supply  
ER20 Max Supply: 20B  
BSC New Circulation: 0; No new tokens except those in the BSC bridge

Nice job. I think the tiny coinvestment suits the scale of the project.
