Working on a protocol and need more liquidity in your token? 🤝 On Horizon, you don’t bargain in a dark room. You compete openly 1️⃣ Add some incentive in any token to a vault’s vote 2️⃣ Holders of veHORIZON who vote for that vault stake it 3️⃣ The more votes, the higher the amount of HORIZON emission to the vault 4️⃣ More emission attracts more liquidity providers Protocol does not take any share of the voting incentive Transparent, on-chain and accessible to any project

Offering concentrated liquidity on Uniswap 🔍 Manually 🔹 Choose your own range 🔹 Track the price continuously 🔹 Rebalance and pay for gas every time 🔹 Cease making money once you’ve gone out of range Using a Horizon Vault 🔹 Add only one token 🔹 The range is automatically managed for you 🔹 Rebalancing is based on time weighted price 🔹 Earn HORIZON tokens on your vault’s share The same strategy. No manual effort required

DeFi does not require more protocols What it needs is improved infrastructure 🔹 Liquidity, lending, and incentives that are all aligned, not spread out over a dozen applications That’s what we are working on

Use of ecosystem assets on Horizon 🌌 TITANX and X28 → They can be deposited in the Daily Auction along with ETH → It is part of the buyback mechanism – protocol income buys TITANX, which turns into X28, which buys HORIZON → Part of every X28 auction deposit gets burned Liquidity pools → HORIZON liquidity pools will go against WETH, USDx, TITANX, and X28 → There will be plans for AURYN/ORX and AURYN/USDx pools right after the launch, followed by more pairs depending on the demand Phase 2 → Lending core will enable collateralization of assets like AURYN with conservative limits initially Growing utility as protocol grows

🚨Why concentrated liquidity is not earning anymore🚨 When you place liquidity in Uniswap through concentrated liquidity, you select a price range. The liquidity can earn fees for you only when the price remains within this range👇 → When in range: your funds are engaged and earn fees for every trade → When out of range: your liquidity becomes fully converted to one token and does not earn any fees → Too broad: you will be more frequently in range, but earn less on each trade → Too narrow: you will earn more on each trade, but you will be out of range more frequently Every LP makes this balance every time manually Horizon Vaults do it automatically, rebalancing on time weighted price

This is what no one else knows about the Melt Bonus. 👀 Whenever you melt extra Gold at Fort Knox, it does not mean you are only making more Bitcoin It means you are reducing the supply of Gold. Every single token burned will be gone for good Therefore, the protocol deflates. Your rewards go up. And the power of each holder increases All three benefits from one move. That is the Melt Bonus 🔥 mine4gold.app 🔗 NFA. DYOR

Revenues of Horizon 🌌 Revenue is generated through vault trading fees and daily auction deposits with lending fees introduced during Phase 2 All the income goes through one router and gets split among three streams: 1⃣ Weekly distribution for veHORIZON holders 2⃣ Largest part is used for buying HORIZON with burning a part 3⃣ Treasury stream Real revenue with contractual distribution

An open question for liquidity providers What is your strategy with respect to concentrated liquidity positions at the moment? Rebalancing them manually, utilizing an automated manager, holding them in full range, or have you stopped providing liquidity? We would like to learn about your successes and failures

Here is the truth about the math in Gold Mine 👇 THE PROBLEM WITH MOST PROTOCOLS Supply increases → price decreases → participants lose → protocol fails This is not a matter of bad luck. This is bad math THE GOLD MINE FIX Every mint destroys 20% of all Diamonds that were utilized. FOREVER Every early exit takes out the tokens that weren't vested yet from the supply. FOREVER Every Melt Bonus destroys extra Gold voluntarily. GONE Supply decreases → scarcity increases → dedicated participants win THE OUTCOME 66% of all Gold supply was melted via Fort Knox protocol already Not because the team wanted to destroy it. Because the math called for it 💎 mine4gold.app 🔗 NFA. DYOR

Gold Mine live statistics Day 108 👇 🪙 GOLD → 1 GOLD = $0.33 → ROI from mining at the moment: 117.29% 📈 💎 DIAMONDS → 1 Diamond = $0.0761 ROI for Gold minting on day 108 is 117% The protocol continues working 💎 mine4gold.app 🔗 NFA. DYOR

💵 Storing stablecoins? These are the things to think about before locking them up somewhere: ❓ How does the yield get generated? ❓ What will happen if the price feed breaks? ❓ Can one toxic asset tank the whole pool? On Horizon: 🏦 Lock up USDC and earn yield in the form of actual borrower payments 🔍 You always see your interest and HORIZON rewards clearly separated to see which is which ⏸️ In case of a price feed break, the particular market stops functioning rather than operating off a faulty price 🧱 Higher-risk assets get isolated in their own markets, separated from the common pool 📏 Caps are determined based on real liquidity on-chain 🛡️ Every borrowable market gets its own Guardian Pool backstop Stable assets need a protocol to take risks seriously. This is the protocol that Horizon follows 🌅

🌊 For the LPs Liquidity pays more, until the price moves out of your range. And then it pays zero Horizon Vaults are engineered from the ground up for Uniswap V3 and V4, and not forked from a third-party manager: 📐 V3 vaults operate a base position paired with a limit order that deploys any remaining inventory 📈 V4 vaults operate a curve liquidity pattern that expands itself automatically in volatile conditions 🎯 Rebalances recalibrate against a time-weighted price, never spot, so that no one can manipulate where your range will end up 🛡️ All deposits and withdrawals are checked against a time-weighted price, so the vault’s own pattern cannot be used to manipulate you 💸 Rebalancers are paid only from the fees earned by the rebalance. Your funds aren’t used for incentivizing rebalances 🪙 One-token deposits. No deposit or withdrawal fees. Designed for LPs who care about what’s under the hood ⚙️ Got questions about the design?

🔥 All the ways HORIZON is burnt Most tokens have one burn mechanism at most. Horizon has four: 1️⃣ Buyback burns. Protocol revenue buys back HORIZON from the open market, and some of it is burnt every time 2️⃣ Burn-locks. You can lock in your HORIZON to receive an eternal 2× voting power in exchange for the permanent destruction of your HORIZON 3️⃣ Burn bids. You can choose to lock in your winnings as described above during the daily auction right after claiming them 4️⃣ Conveyor belt never stops. Every loan, every fee for a vault and every deposit into the auction contribute to the buyback of HORIZON, every single day Also, every X28 deposited into the auction gets burnt along with it 🔁 There's no pre-mine. There's no team allocation. Only HORIZON earned and HORIZON burnt More HORIZON use means more HORIZON burnt 🌌

Capital has only one task 💤 It is stored in a wallet. It generates some interest on one app. That’s it But there are so many other things that you can do with your capital: 🏦 Lend it and generate interest through borrowings 💵 Generate borrowings against your capital without having to sell anything 🌊 Automate it into providing liquidity 🛡️ Protect a market and get paid for protecting it 🗳️ Staking HORIZON, voting on the allocation of rewards and earning from the protocol revenue All in one platform, all supporting the same system. Capital deserves better than being stored On Horizon, it gets one 🌅

Anyone who’s ever used the concentrated liquidity feature of Uniswap understands how frustrating it is 😮‍💨 You set your range The price gets out of it You stop earning You rebalance. You pay gas fees. Repeat It's almost like having a part-time job 🫠 But not Horizon Vaults 🎯 They determine the range of your pool ⚖️ Rebalance it when the price changes 🔄 Automatically compound your fees 🛡️ Make all deposits and withdrawals safe, meaning the vault can’t be exploited against you 🪙 Deposit with a single token and it’ll be balanced by the vault 🌅 You even earn HORIZON tokens as a reward Zero deposit fees. Zero withdrawal fees. Zero babysitting Concentrated liquidity without the part-time job 🌊
