.
2. Updated Grant Request & Budget Breakdown
We are requesting a total of $6,000 in funding, plus $1,500 for token distribution incentives, to support mainnet deployment, continuous development, community engagement, and long-term sustainability.

The budget is structured to ensure a rapid transition to mainnet, an aggressive six-month growth phase, and a long-term goal of making FluxPad self-sustaining through revenue reinvestment.

  • $500 – Finalizing mainnet deployment, including smart contract optimizations and security checks.
  • $2,000 – Ongoing development to implement new features, system scalability, and enhancements based on user feedback.
  • $2,400 – Operational costs for 12 months ($200/month) to maintain server infrastructure, AI agent hosting, and backend services.
  • $1,100 – Community & social media growth, including marketing campaigns, AMAs, partnerships, and influencer collaborations.
  • $1,500 – Token distribution incentives to reward early adopters, governance participants, and ecosystem supporters.

FluxPad will maintain continuous development based on user feedback, evolving needs, and emerging opportunities within the Conflux ecosystem. After the six-month adoption phase, the project will begin self-funding development and marketing, ensuring long-term sustainability.

3. Community & Social Engagement Plan
To ensure robust community involvement and widespread adoption, FluxPad will actively engage users through the following initiatives:

Content, Strategic Partnerships & Social Media Growth:

  • Weekly Twitter threads, AMAs, and influencer collaborations to increase visibility.
  • Telegram & Discord engagement through moderation, Q&A sessions, and community events.
  • Creation of YouTube tutorials and educational walkthroughs for easy user onboarding.
  • Governance & Token Utility:
  • Users will be able to participate in decentralized governance through AI-powered voting mechanisms.
  • $1,500 in token incentives will be distributed to early adopters and active participants to drive engagement.
  • Over time, FluxPad will explore staking incentives and governance token models to further empower its users.
  • Collaboration with Web3 projects within the Conflux ecosystem to onboard new users.
    Engaging NFT and DeFi communities to increase FluxPad’s reach and adoption.

4. Key Performance Metrics (KPIs)
To track the effectiveness of FluxPad’s launch and growth, we have established clear success metrics:

Platform Usage & Growth:

  • Achieve 1,500+ active users within six months.
  • Facilitate the launch of 500+ tokens/NFTs.
  • Reach 15,000+ on-chain transactions by Month 12.

  • Conduct 50+ AMAs, influencer collaborations, and ecosystem partnerships.
  • Maintain active engagement across Discord and Telegram, with regular updates and interactions.

5. Security & Audits
Prior to mainnet deployment, FluxPad will conduct smart contract reviews and security optimizations to ensure reliability.
The platform will maintain open-source transparency, encouraging community participation in security assessments.
As FluxPad achieves financial sustainability, we plan to invest in a third-party smart contract audit for added security assurance.

6 – Long-Term Roadmap & Self-Sufficiency
FluxPad is designed to become fully self-sustaining within 6-12 months, ensuring long-term development and ecosystem growth without relying on additional grants. To achieve this, FluxPad will implement AI-powered premium services, a fee-sharing model, and community-driven investment initiatives.

AI-Powered Premium Services
As the platform evolves, FluxPad will introduce advanced AI-driven services that cater to projects launching within the ecosystem, offering:

  • Trading Contract Creation with AI: Projects will be able to generate smart trading contracts powered by AI-driven strategies, automating token mechanics, liquidity management, and market-making strategies.
  • KYC & Audit Services: FluxPad will integrate on-chain identity verification and smart contract audits, helping new projects establish trust and compliance within the ecosystem.
  • Project Development & Presale Features: Teams launching on FluxPad will have access to development services (contract development, frontend, backend) and the ability to host presales directly on the platform.
  • Fee-Sharing Model & Community-Driven Investment
  • FluxPad will implement a fee-sharing model, where revenue generated from premium AI services, presale hosting, and audits will be reinvested into platform development and marketing.

Beyond reinvestment in FluxPad’s growth, a community-led investment fund will be established, where a portion of the platform’s revenue will be allocated to fund new projects launching on Conflux. Through on-chain governance voting, the community will decide how these funds are distributed, allowing for decentralized funding of promising new ventures.

Strategic Partnerships & Expansion
To further strengthen the ecosystem, FluxPad will continue forming strategic partnerships with:

Web3 projects within the Conflux ecosystem to attract early adopters.
NFT, DeFi, and AI-driven platforms to expand the range of projects launching on FluxPad.
Influencers and community leaders to drive awareness and increase platform adoption.
By integrating these premium services, reinvesting platform revenue, and enabling community-led funding, FluxPad will not only sustain itself financially but also drive continuous ecosystem expansion.

7. Next Steps & Conclusion
I appreciate the opportunity to refine this proposal based on your insights. With testnet success, hackathon recognition, and a clear sustainability roadmap, I believe this funding will enable FluxPad to onboard thousands of users, launch numerous projects, and drive engagement within the Conflux ecosystem.

I’d love to discuss this further and adjust any details to better align with Conflux’s grant priorities. Looking forward to your feedback!

Best regards,

Hi Mathias,

The proposal shows potential, but two key areas may need more detail:

Milestone 2 metrics - What are your specific targets/details for “number of airdrops” and “user engagement”? (e.g. target number of active users, KYC completions, number of wallet interactions)

and for the marketing plan (€1,400) - Could you provide a breakdown of:

  • budget allocation per channel (social/content/events)
  • growth targets
  • engagement activities

Having these concrete numbers would help the evaluating process.

Thank you for presenting Fluxpad!

#3

Thank you for your feedback and for providing the opportunity to elaborate on the marketing budget and engagement strategy.

Marketing Budget Allocation (€1,400):

Contests/Awards (€1,000):

  • €500 will be dedicated to a user contest that rewards the most active participants across the platform.
  • €500 will go toward an award for the best token or NFT project created on FluxPad.
  • These contests will foster engagement, incentivize activity, and promote innovation, sustaining community involvement over several months.

Social Media and Content Creation (€400):

  • The remaining budget will be used to create designs, social content, and leverage marketing tools across X (Twitter), YouTube, Discord, Telegram, and TikTok.
  • This will help expand our audience and promote the platform effectively across diverse channels.
    Marketing Campaign Duration:

The marketing campaign will span 2-3 months post-mainnet deployment to ensure consistent engagement and adoption during the critical early stages.

Growth and Engagement Targets:

  • Aim for 200 active users and a combined 5,000 followers on social media platforms by the end of the campaign.
  • Onboard 10-20 users during the testnet phase to thoroughly test FluxPad’s token and NFT creation systems.

Post-Mainnet Projections:

  • Expect 1,000 NFTs and 100 tokens to be created within the first three months, generating fees to reinvest into the project for marketing, feature development, and scaling efforts.

Engagement Activities:

  • The user contest and project awards will incentivize activity and innovation.
  • The testnet participants will provide critical feedback on platform usability and functionality, ensuring FluxPad is aligned with user needs before the mainnet launch.
  • These efforts will allow us to build a strong community, onboard active users, and ensure a successful launch that aligns with Conflux’s ecosystem goals.

Please let me know if there are any other details I can provide.

Best regards,
Mathias

Hey Mathias,

Thanks for your Fluxpad proposals. There are a few points in the current proposal that I think should be reconsidered:

  • Typically the Foundation’s preference is not to allocate funds for testnet deployments. We encourage projects to focus on mainnet deployment as part of their initial milestone.
  • We also tend to prioritize directing the majority of grant allocations towards activities that drive direct growth (i.e.: incentives, marketing, campaigns, community growth) or building, rather than adaptation.
  • Include a detailed list of growth milestones with a separate clear budget breakdown. For each milestone, provide a specific budget linked to its KPIs, where KPIs are the conditions at which the funds are released. Focus on when the funds will be released, and separately outline a budget breakdown, how the grant is going to be used. (Note: The Foundation releases funds only after milestone and KPI completion.) This will aid in tracking progress and clarifying grant requirements.
  • Include targeted KPIs for each milestone and the expected outcomes, covering both performance-based metrics (e.g., number of token launches, TVL, unique wallet addresses, transaction numbers, partner integrations, etc) and user growth KPIs (e.g., social metrics such as: X followers, Telegram users, AMAs and user campaigns, etc).
  • Are you planning on an audit?
  • Can you expand on the long-term plans with the project? How you looking forward to grow?

Thank you for your earlier responses. Please remember to keep the main body of your proposal updated with your latest changes and developments. This ensures that your proposal remains transparent and easy to follow for everyone involved.

FluxPad Integration Grants Application - March 2025 Update

Dear Conflux Team,

Following our previous submissions and the valuable feedback received, I’m pleased to present the latest iteration of the FluxPad proposal. Over the past month, while actively building the project, I’ve made several significant improvements:

  1. Budget Reallocation & Enhanced Focus: We’ve reallocated our budget to prioritize platform maintenance, marketing initiatives, and token liquidity provision rather than new development, ensuring sustainability and growth.

  2. Personal Investment Commitment: As founder of MBP Enterprises, I’ve committed a substantial $2,500 personal investment specifically for the FluxPad token launch, demonstrating my confidence in the project’s potential.

  3. Detailed Fund Utilization Plan: We’ve created a comprehensive breakdown of exactly how each dollar of funding will be used, with specific allocations for security audits, infrastructure, AI services, and community growth.

  4. Multi DEX Strategy Expansion: We’ve evolved our approach to incorporate a flexible multi DEX framework that can accommodate additional liquidity sources as the Conflux ecosystem grows.

  5. Streamlined Development Phases: We’ve restructured our development roadmap into clear, sequential phases with specific deliverables and measurable KPIs for each stage of platform evolution.

Below is the complete updated proposal for your review:

Integration Grants Application: FluxPad

Executive Summary

FluxPad is a unified platform transforming how users discover, analyze, and engage with Web3 projects on Conflux eSpace. Having already secured second place at the Conflux AI Agent Hackathon and deployed key features to mainnet, we request $6,000 in funding plus $1,500 for token incentives to scale our proven solution.

Our platform addresses eight critical challenges in the Conflux ecosystem through AI-powered functionality, seamless multi-wallet integration, and a multi DEX strategy that combines established liquidity (Swappi) with our proprietary FluxPad DEX for new projects.

Enhanced Multi DEX Strategy

Our platform implements a multi DEX strategy that currently leverages Swappi as the primary liquidity source. This approach allows us to:

  1. Immediate Liquidity Access: By integrating with Swappi, FluxPad users can already trade established tokens on Conflux eSpace with optimal liquidity.

  2. FluxPad DEX Development: We’re developing our own FluxPad DEX (currently on testnet) specifically designed for new project launches and specialized trading pairs.

  3. Future DEX Integration Framework: We’ve built our architecture to easily incorporate additional DEXes as they launch on Conflux, ensuring FluxPad users always have access to the best liquidity options.

This strategy provides maximum flexibility - users benefit from established liquidity now while we create additional pathways for new projects. As the Conflux ecosystem grows and new DEXes emerge, our platform is ready to integrate them seamlessly.

Current Implementation Status

FluxPad has already achieved significant milestones, with core features operational at FluxPad.org:

FluxPad Token ($FLX) - Additional Information

I’d like to provide some additional details about the $FLX token that weren’t fully covered in my original application:

Token Supply & Distribution

  • Total supply will be between 10M-100M tokens (exact amount being finalized)
  • 10% allocated to the team with a 3-year lock period and monthly vesting
  • Initial liquidity backed by my personal $2,500 investment plus grant allocation

Utility & Benefits

  • Discounted rates when creating NFTs, tokens, and trading pairs
  • Reduced fees across most FluxPad services
  • Access to premium AI-powered insights and analytics
  • Governance rights for platform decisions and fund allocation
  • Priority access to new project launches and investment opportunities
  • Project support through FluxPad-initiated buybacks

Innovative Staking Mechanism

Instead of earning more $FLX through staking (which can lead to inflation), our staking model rewards $FLX holders with tokens from partner projects launching on FluxPad. This creates:

  • Immediate exposure for new projects to an engaged audience
  • Diversified token earning opportunities for $FLX holders
  • A sustainable tokenomics model that provides real utility
  • Marketing advantages for projects from day one

This approach aligns the interests of token holders, platform users, and projects launching on FluxPad, creating a sustainable ecosystem where value flows to active participants.
