RE: DUO Token Update October 24 2025 DUO STAKER MUST READ

@bitcoinman Hmm that does sound interesting. While I will give it some additional thoughts - my initial response on both is positive.

My sole concern comes from the funding question - if I am correctly interpreting this - it would mean that the current dividends will be lower as the funds will be used to fund the additional income streams. While we need a little more insights in how that will look to know how I feel about it, I would assume it is also risky as that makes the value for current investors lower.

An alternative (which would be my recommendation to also explore) is to reallocate tranches of DUO to projects. That way you can keep the current investors equally happy (which we are :) ). For example the DUO allocated for guest authors (as we only see 2 different) could be used to create an offering (at a attractive price) that would fund the project. (Note: that allocation is just used as an example there might be other / more suitable allocations?)

(Also still hoping we can get the liquidity pool + arbitrage bot combo - which could be funded in this way)

The DUO bonus has not been issued for a while, the guest authors get 50%, however they got some loans from the team so with those 2 all the earnings going into DUO.

The issue is that one way or another we have to short somewhere to come up with these funds for income stream expansion, so if we reallocate tranches or sell more DUO to raise funds they are not going to curator HP.

The idea of using some of the curation and author rewards is to build up the fund faster, your idea is great and that is the bulk of where the funding for this new streams will come from new DUO sales diversions.

We don't have any numbers in mind, quite yet, and just floating ideas around, a lot of what you all bring up helps a great deal, so may as well leverage the wisdom of the crowd.

As for your (Also still hoping we can get the liquidity pool + arbitrage bot combo - which could be funded in this way) we actually recently had some one trying to manipulate the price of DUO down fruitlessly, and we also had some bots trading so I set up a trading account and have been manipulating the bots to bit higher closing the spread as well as buying DUO and then reselling for profit. The liquidity is not ideal but still made profits, I have kept these profits in that account and continuing this operation manually, it works but its not all good, the good things is this activity increases liquidity and provides exist liquidity while generating a profit however as I mentioned when you first brought it up the issue is that while the things mentioned above are great this activity is taking away from DUO sales when I undercut sales(1.5 order) to make a profit with this not being a pool and me just manually doing it I can

So yeah we have to end up shorting somewhere it's just a matter of finding the most fair way to do so together.

There is lots of cool ideas floating around and we will try to figure out and implement the best ones we possibly can.

You think DUO collateralized loans are cool ? its not just a regular loan when one uses DUO as collateral they can get a DUO delegation back so they still get curation divs and bot calls, assuming they don't default on the the loan that is 🤣
