Key Takeaways
The Curve Wars and Unichad’s Strategy
- Dynamics: The Curve Wars initiated a liquidity competition, allowing entities with ample CRV tokens to guide emissions towards their pools. Unichad aims to benefit from Unibot’s success and provide revenue to its holders.
- Long-term Effects: Unichad’s 5% buy and sell tax will be directed to the UNICHAD/WETH LP and auto-buy UNIBOT, positioning Unichad in the top ranks of UNIBOT token holders.
- Unique Aspects: Unichad’s goal is to accumulate a large war chest of Unibot tokens and ride on the success of Unibot, making it a strong beta play.
Taxes and Revenue Share
- Dynamics: Unichad’s 5% buy and sell tax aims to amass UNIBOT and redirect revenue-sharing to Unichad holders.
- Long-term Effects: The tax fees used to auto-buy UNIBOT and add to the UNICHAD/WETH LP could enable a flywheel effect, benefiting UNICHAD holders with a larger revenue share.
- Comparisons: Unichad’s approach contrasts with traditional models, focusing on accumulation and revenue-sharing.
Top-Holder Analysis
- Dynamics: Most top holders have not sold any portion of their tokens, with some purchasing significant amounts in the last 24 hours.
- Long-term Effects: The behavior of top holders could influence Unichad’s market dynamics, with potential sell-pressure if top holders choose to unload.
- Unique Aspects: The concentration of tokens among top holders adds an element of unpredictability to Unichad’s market behavior.
Bull and Bear Cases
- Dynamics: Unichad’s success is highly reliant on Unibot’s dominance, taking about 60-80% of the Telegram/Discord bot’s market share.
- Comparisons: The bear case includes other Telegram/discord bots overtaking Unibot’s success, and early holders selling off their share of the tokens.
- Unique Aspects: Unichad’s model is highly dependent on the continuous success of Unibot, making its performance closely tied to Unibot’s market behavior.
Unichad’s Business Model and Risks
- Dynamics: Unichad’s business model focuses on amassing Unibot, but it’s not proven yet, and there’s no strong evidence that it’s more cost-effective to hold Unichad instead of Unibot.
- Long-term Effects: If Unichad does not manage to amass a significant portion of Unibot, users might choose to hold Unibot instead.
- Unique Aspects: The uncertainty around Unichad’s business model adds a layer of risk and complexity to its investment proposition.
Actionable Insights
