Exchequer got approved for an Arbitrum New Protocols and Ideas grant. We're building Protected Growth Tokens, a new onchain asset class that allows any project to provide downside protection for their holders while building project owned liquidity. Arbitrum is the default infrastructure for programmable economies and we’re proud to introduce a primitive that’s designed for those who want to believe in tokens again. Huge thanks to @arbitrum for their support.

3/3 Token holders traded more and generated more volume. Prediction markets really benefit from having its users holding their tokens.

4/5 Same four wallets, same opening. this time outside money arrived 2.7 seconds after the last buy, paying three times what they'd paid. 38 sales over seventeen minutes. 0.1455 in, 0.5779 out. +297%. they even got greedy at the top and lost 32% on a second slice.

5/5 The fail costs 0.0052. the win pays 0.4324. one hit covers 83 misses. Memecoin cabals are basically running a VC business model, running at 12,000 launches a day.

Tom and Alice both liked the project. Tom bought the token. Alice bought the preferred token. The token fell 50%. Tom: $500. Alice: $1,000. The rolls prefer Alice.

Airbags were optional until they were not. Preferred tokens will be mandatory soon enough. We have seen this sequence before.

Titanic carried lifeboats for 1178 of 2209 aboard. Ask thy favourite token how many it carries for holders. We shall wait.

Exchequer hath examined the chain of custody: the protocol needs holders. holders need stability. stability kills volume. volume pays the market maker. the market maker controls the price. We instruct thee to read it once more, from the bottom. Filed in the rolls.
