Magnet DAO is a cryptocurrency incubator that utilizes its treasury to develop, incubate, and invest in crypto projects in their early stages.

What is Magnet DAO (MAG)?

Magnet DAO uses its treasury reserves to invest in and incubate innovative projects. It can optimize investors’ expected value and return by investing in, incubating, and growing new projects through the platform and funds. MAG will also create its own protocols, with all fees going to MAG token holders. The DAO owns all tokens received, providing infinite value and unparalleled upside for investors.

The team has introduced the Innovation Fund: 10% of our treasury and bond profits to invest in high-quality crypto startups. Ensuring that even if some projects fail, 90% of the treasury remains intact, creating a floor value for our token. The DAO committee will oversee the use of the treasury funds set aside for new projects, choosing both the sorts of projects to invest in and the amounts to be given.

Outstanding features

What is the project trying to achieve?

The team has a lot of ideas for how they can add value to the protocol. A few protocol design ideas:

• Implement vesting schedules for bonds, where the user can receive a higher ROI if they opt to vest their tokens over a longer period of time (rather than a 5-day standard)
• Implement a diamond hands bonus for staking, to incentivize
• Add “zapping” liquidity to our protocol for ease of bonding LP pairs
• Generate yield on our stablecoins. Given the number of stablecoins we will have in our treasury, we will certainly be exploring how we can best generate returns on these assets
• Develop protocols under the Magnet DAO name. We already have various ideas for projects we want to develop, all of which are synergistic to our primary protocol

What is the unique selling point?

Innovation Fund

Magnet DAO intends to use a portion of this treasury to fund the development of new protocols and to assist and incubate new projects. Magnet DAO’s treasury will therefore have early investment exposure to initiatives, giving unrivaled upside potential for rapid growth. So, even if certain projects fail, 90% of the treasury remains intact, giving a floor value for our token. The DAO committee will decide which projects to fund and how much to fund them. The Magnet DAO team will also incubate these projects to ensure their success, and our community will help grow them.

The first protocol to be developed is a native DAO tooling interface that will be used in conjunction with Magnet DAO. We want our governance system to be as seamless as possible and feel it is essential that we design an intuitive user interface that allows all token holders (DAO members) to have an influence.

Given that the incubation is an innovative, never-before-seen core component of Magnet DAO, a deep dive into the concept is only justified. Magnet owners benefit from the following features of this model:

• Diversified treasury — a small, but important, level of exposure to projects that can yield explosive growth and value creation
• Accessibility to investments that are typically only available to Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors
• Early exposure to new protocols, without the arduous process of searching and filtering through thousands of dead-end projects. The DAO / core team will be building these projects ourselves and helping incubate projects that we believe in, thus increasing the probability of success — all while at the earliest stage of investment
• Community network effect — as we develop and incubate new, innovative protocols, our community of token holders will play a significant role in helping these projects gain recognition, traction, and usage. On top of this, the DAO will aim to work on projects that are highly synergistic. We expect our $MAG token to play a significant role in allowing holders to participate in the growth of upcoming projects as well

Staking $MAG

Staking allows you to earn $MAG passively via auto-compounding. By staking your $MAG with Magnet DAO, you receive sMAG (staked $MAG) in return at a 1:1 ratio. After that, your sMAG balance will increase automatically on every epoch based on the current APY. How to Stake $MAG?

Minting $MAG

By minting MAG you’re trading your crypto assets for discounted MAG. How to mint $MAG?

Paladin Audit

Magnet DAO has officially been onboarded by Paladin Security. Magnet DAO has also undergone several 3rd party audits by anonymous community developers, including members of the Olympians Discord team.
