Stella
Crypto Overview
Project Overview
Alpha Finance Lab is a DeFi ecosystem that aims to build cross-chain DeFi products, with its primary product being Alpha Homora - a leveraged yield farming and leveraged liquidity providing protocol. The project was launched in 2020.
Intended Utility
The ALPHA token serves multiple purposes within the ecosystem: governance rights for protocol decisions, staking rewards, and fee sharing from protocol revenue. Token holders can participate in important protocol decisions and earn a share of the platform's generated fees.
Actual Utility Analysis
The platform shows significant real-world adoption with the following metrics: Over $1 billion in total value locked (TVL) historically, though current TVL is lower. Active governance participation from token holders. Regular protocol upgrades and development activity on GitHub.
Token Distribution
Initial token distribution: Team and advisors: 22.5%, Ecosystem fund: 25%, Community rewards: 52.5%. Team tokens have vesting periods of 2 years with gradual unlocking.
Revenue Model
The protocol generates revenue through trading fees and borrowing fees from its leveraged yield farming platform. These fees are distributed to ALPHA stakers.
Development vs Marketing
The project maintains an active GitHub repository with regular commits. Development appears to be prioritized over marketing, with consistent technical updates and improvement proposals.
