Introduction:
Palmyra is a next-generation full-service supply-chain solution for commodities that are semi-fungible and currently have limited access to traditional capital markets. It combines the operational and capital efficiency of smart contracts with a real-world asset base, product demand and catalytic economic effects.
The platform consists of a native token (PALM) that captures and recycles protocol fees in order to provide a rebate system for users
As an integral component of the Palmyra project, the PALM token has been meticulously designed to ensure its value, utility, and sustainability in the evolving digital landscape.
Utility Overview
The core economic utility function of the PALM token is staked by users of the platform to claim a rebate on fees paid during the respective calculation period.Whilst the allocation of rebate is proportional to the amount of PALM staked by the user, it is also limited to the amount of fees paid (and cannot exceed). The token inflation and incentive model is designed to reward true economic contribution and enable decentralized business development through its treasury function. It also employs a unique oracle system that is fully decentralized and deals with on-chain data, resolution and collateral modelled resources.
Palmyra charges varying fees for all platform transactions which is recycled into the PALM token.
PALM Utilities Overview
The core economic utility function of the PALM token is staked by users of the platform to claim a rebate on fees paid during the respective calculation period. Whilst the allocation of rebate is proportional to the amount of PALM staked by the user, it is also limited to the amount of fees paid (and cannot exceed). The token inflation and incentive model is designed to reward true economic contribution and enable decentralized business development through its treasury function. It also employs a unique oracle system that is fully decentralized and deals with on-chain data, resolution and collateral modelled recourses.
Revenue is converted into PALM and then allocated as below:
Fee rebates: Calculated according to staking process. Rebated are capped by fees paid
Burn: Dynamic as a function of the staking state of the system.
Treasury: Net difference goes into the treasury for ecosystem and business development (including paying specialist oracle providers)
Oracles: Off chain data verification
Rebate Fees
The PALM token serves as a mechanism for users to claim rebates on fees paid during a specific calculation period. The core economic utility of PALM is its staking feature. Users stake PALM tokens to be eligible for these rebates. The allocation of the rebate is proportional to the amount of PALM staked by the user, but it's capped by the amount of fees they've paid. Essentially, the more PALM a user stakes, the higher the rebate they can claim, up to the limit of fees they've paid.
Oracles
Palmyra employs a unique and decentralized oracle system. Oracles are crucial in the blockchain ecosystem as they provide off-chain data to smart contracts on the blockchain. The PALM token plays a role in this by compensating oracle providers. The system deals with on-chain data, resolution, and collateral modeled recourse. This ensures that the data fed into the Palmyra platform is accurate, reliable, and verified, enhancing the platform's credibility and functionality.
Burn
The PALM tokenomics includes a dynamic burn mechanism. This is determined by the staking state of the system.
Treasury
The treasury function of the PALM token is designed to support ecosystem and business development. A portion of the protocol's revenue is allocated to the treasury. This includes the net difference from the fee rebates and any surplus from mismatches in staking. The funds in the treasury are used for various purposes, including compensating specialist oracle providers and other initiatives that contribute to the growth and sustainability of the Palmyra ecosystem.
Voting power
PALM token holders possess more than just economic utilities; they also play a pivotal role in the governance of the Palmyra platform. When business development proposals arise, especially those concerning the allocation and use of the treasury, PALM token holders have the privilege to voice their opinions and cast their votes. This decentralized approach ensures that the community is actively involved in shaping the platform's future, fostering a sense of ownership and alignment with Palmyra's long-term vision. By granting token holders the power to vote, Palmyra underscores its commitment to transparency, inclusivity, and community-driven decision-making.
