Integration Grants Application: Fufuture

#1

Application Introduction

  1. Name of the project
    Fufuture
  2. Problem statement in the existing Conflux ecosystem and the proposed solution
    The current Conflux ecosystem lacks a platform that allows token holders to trade derivatives directly with their tokens without converting them to stablecoins (U). Token holders face high risks in traditional derivatives markets. Fufuture solves this by introducing decentralized perpetual options, which offer no liquidation risk, limited losses, and unlimited profit potential.
  3. Alignment of the project with the Conflux Network
    Benefit to the Conflux Ecosystem: How this product will entice more developers to build on Conflux : Fufuture will attract more developers to build DeFi projects on Conflux by offering a new and innovative decentralized options trading product. This will enhance the ecosystem’s credibility and usability, positioning Conflux as a leader in decentralized derivatives trading.
    Economic benefit: How this product will increase assets and transactions on-chain
    By enabling coin-based perpetual options trading, FuFuture will increase on-chain transactions and assets within the Conflux ecosystem. The ability to trade without converting to stablecoins will enhance user retention and liquidity, directly increasing the overall transaction volume and on-chain interactions on Conflux, while efficiently burning gas.
  4. Demonstrate a competitive edge that differentiates it from other projects
    Fufuture is the world’s first fully decentralized coin-based perpetual options trading platform. It allows users to trade with any token as collateral without converting to stablecoins, and it offers no liquidation risk. This feature, combined with higher win rates and security from SlowMist audit, sets Fufuture apart from other projects.

  7. Are you an incorporated startup?
    Founded in 2021, FuFuture has now grown into a well-established team.

Technical Introduction
Provide a brief overview of the functional goals of your system, pairing it with reasons for its development.

  1. Refer back to problem statement
    In the current Conflux ecosystem, token holders cannot easily trade derivatives without converting their tokens into stablecoins, and the existing financial derivatives trading platforms expose them to high risks, including liquidation. Fufuture addresses this problem by introducing a fully decentralized platform for perpetual options trading, allowing users to trade with any token as collateral while minimizing risk through a non-liquidation model. This enables more users to participate in derivatives trading without worrying about large-scale losses or market volatility. Additionally, Fufuture is positioned to enhance the financial utility of tokens by allowing them to serve not only as assets but also as financial tools, creating more liquidity and increasing turnover in the secondary market
  2. Identify existing solutions (if any) and include a feasibility study
    Existing decentralized trading platforms, such as Uniswap and PancakeSwap, focus on spot trading and simple token swaps. Although they support a wide range of tokens, they do not offer derivatives trading. Derivatives trading platforms like GMX only support a limited 37 trading pairs and come with high trading risks.Fufuture’s perpetual options product is feasible due to its use of decentralized oracles (Chainlink) and its non-liquidation design, making it a unique and viable solution for risk-conscious traders
  3. Purpose of the system
    FuFuture is a cutting-edge platform specializing in coin-based derivatives trading. Its coin-based perpetual options products are designed to help traders achieve potential gains while limiting possible losses.This enhances liquidity, risk management, and profitability for users while maintaining a decentralized, transparent, and secure trading environment.
  4. Scope of the system
    The system scope includes:
  5. Allowing perpetual options trading on BTC and ETH using any token as collateral.
  6. Implementing decentralized oracles for price feeds.
  7. Enabling liquidity pools where users can contribute tokens and earn rewards.
  8. Objectives and success criteria of the project
    Increase the trading retention rate of native CFX token holders to 30%.
    Connect high-quality project tokens on CFX to FuFuture.
    • Success criteria include high user retention, increased TVL (Total Value Locked), and high participation in liquidity pools.
  9. Definitions, acronyms, and abbreviations
    TVL: Total Value Locked (the total amount of funds held in the platform’s smart contracts) CEX: Centralized Exchange DEX: Decentralized Exchange
  10. Include any references Official Medium https://medium.com/@Fufuture Official Gitbook https://fufuture.gitbook.io/fufuture/

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

  • Foundation typically expect grant funds to be directed towards activities that drive direct growth (i.e.: incentives, user engagement initiatives), rather than adaptation or audit.
  • 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., TVL, unique wallet addresses, transaction numbers, partner integrations) and user growth KPIs (e.g., social metrics such as: X followers, Telegram users, AMAs and user campaigns).
  • Provide more details about the planned marketing activities!
  • Can you expand on the long-term plans with the project? How you looking forward to grow?
#3

I agree with @cj_hux on the mentioned points above. @Fufuture please me more detailed on the milestones, ideally with sub-milestones.

Additionally, for the milestones ‘Two Months’, I suggest that the grants will only distributed to Conflux users regardless of Futures launching on BNB chain or not.

Hi, There are detailed info about Our further plan:

  1. Technical Deployment (Completed)
    Fufuture has been deployed on the Conflux blockchain, with all functionalities operational. Native tokens on the Conflux blockchain can now be used for perpetual options trading directly on Fufuture.
  2. Request for 5,000 USD in Tokens
    The grant will be utilized to enhance the interaction volume of native on-chain tokens.
    As a token-based derivatives trading platform, Fufuture enables all on-chain assets to actively participate in derivatives trading, boosting their interaction and activity.
  3. Request for 20,000 USD in Tokens for Ecosystem Activities
    The requested funds will remain in a Conflux account and be disbursed periodically based on activity performance.
    Activities are planned for a duration of 90 days.
  4. Activation Plan for Native Asset Holders
    Native asset holders will be encouraged to trade on Fufuture, with incentives based on trading volume rankings or other mechanisms (potentially with optimized methods provided by Conflux).
    The focus is to stimulate the activity of native asset holders and increase on-chain engagement.
    With core asset holders actively participating, conversion rates are expected to reach approximately 30%, leading to a rapid increase in gas usage.
  5. Activation of Other On-Chain Tokens, Projects, Ecosystems, and Users
    Additional grant amounts will be requested as needed, and plans will be devised through timely communication with the Conflux team.
    Increased native asset activity will attract upstream and downstream ecosystems in derivatives, such as one-click copy trading and on-chain quantitative trading, bringing additional supportive industries into the Conflux ecosystem.
  6. Cross-Chain User Attraction via KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders)
    Using the influence of KOLs, we will attract token holders from other blockchains to migrate to Conflux for trading. This effort will include joint incentive plans with other projects, increasing new user registrations on Conflux.
    The specifics of this activity will be designed dynamically based on real-time conditions.
  7. Integration with Fufuture’s Existing User Base
    Utilizing Fufuture’s existing agent system, we will disseminate information widely to ensure seamless integration between Fufuture users and the Conflux blockchain.
  8. 2025 Development Plan
    Fufuture will introduce on-chain perpetual contracts, followed by offerings like gold, forex, futures, and commodities. These tools will enable real-world enterprises to conduct on-chain hedging operations, significantly increasing the TVL (Total Value Locked) of the Conflux blockchain.

Hello Fufuture team,

how do users provide liquidity on Fufuture? Is it similar to GMX via their GLP or is it more of an order-book type settlement?

#6

Thank you for your responses. There are a few aspects of the current proposal that I believe could be improved:

  • Please refine the budget breakdown and milestone list (including the original proposal) by adding clear performance and social KPIs. It would also be helpful to incorporate sub-milestones and provide more detailed milestone descriptions, as previously suggested.
  • Consider including additional details and specific targets related to your marketing and trading activities.

Looking forward to your updated proposal!

#7

In Fufuture:
There are two types of Liquidity pools, " public pool, and private pool"

The public pools are like GLP and UniSwap, Aggregated additions, weighted dividends.
The private pools are like a order books, with users gaming one-to-one.

Notes:

  • Rewards will be ranked based on the trading volume of the trading address.
  • If the participating tokens are GAD or USDT, rewards will adjust based on price parameters.

Phase 3: Complete cross-chain transfers for other users, providing additional incremental users for Conflux. Using FuFuture’s existing agent system, we will extensively spread information to ensure seamless integration between FuFuture users and the Conflux blockchain. This phase will be designed based on real-time conditions.
（Depending on needs, we will apply for additional funding and collaborate with the Conflux team to formulate plans.）

  • As on-chain native asset activity increases, derivative industries like one-click copy trading, on-chain quantification, etc., will be introduced, with at least one additional module to be added.

Requested Funds for Each Milestone:

  • Early November: $50,000 for smart contract development and integration.
  • Trading Competition Plan (30 Days): Requesting $20,000 in tokens for on-chain activities to activate native users on the Conflux chain. These funds will be kept in the TreeMap account and distributed periodically based on activity progress.
  • Phase 3: Lasting for two months, this phase will be designed based on real-time conditions. The majority of the grant will be used for trading incentives.

After reviewing the recent updates and comments on your proposal, I’ve found a few areas that could benefit from further refinement:

Main Proposal Adjustments:
Have you updated the main body of your proposal? It’s important to keep the main section (top part) consistently updated to reflect the latest data and insights. This alignment with the feedback and comments provided below ensures clarity and makes it easier to follow the finalized version of the proposal.

Budget Transparency and Focus:
To strengthen your proposal, consider focusing your budget allocation on initiatives that directly drive project growth, such as user engagement, community incentives, and marketing efforts. Avoid allocating funds to areas that do not align with the primary goals of the grant program, such as development, adaptation, or audits. This will ensure your proposal is fully aligned with the Foundation’s expectations.

Phase 1 Relevance:
Since Phase 1 appears to focus on deployment, which is already completed, consider removing or revising this section for clarity. Additionally, please clarify the rationale for requesting resources for aspects like smart contract development and integration if these tasks are already completed.

Sub-Phases for Project Growth:
For Phases 2 and 3, it may be helpful to introduce sub-phases or sub-milestones to better illustrate the project’s growth strategy. This would provide a clearer view of how the project intends to achieve its goals in stages.

KPIs for Milestones:
Include specific, measurable KPIs for each phase and sub-milestone to outline expected outcomes. These should cover:

  • Performance-based metrics: e.g., TVL, transaction volumes, unique wallet addresses, or new partner integrations, web traffic.
  • User growth metrics: e.g., social media engagement, community growth, and participation in activities like AMAs and user campaigns.

Growth Milestones and Budget Breakdown:
Provide a detailed list of growth milestones, with a corresponding breakdown of how grant resources will be allocated. Ensure that each milestone/phases is linked to its KPIs and that the timing and release of resources are clearly outlined. This will enhance transparency and help track progress effectively.

Marketing Initiatives:
Expand on the marketing initiatives you’ve proposed, such as trading competitions and on-chain activities. Provide more details on how these initiatives will be executed and the expected outcomes. A clear and compelling marketing strategy will strengthen your proposal.

#11

For the main body: only the receiving wallet address has been updated.

The other changes were made to resolve formatting issues on the forum, but the content itself remains unchanged.

KPIs for Milestones:
We aim to ensure that funds are used in alignment with the foundation’s goals. For example, we’ve allocated the majority of funds to incentivize users rather than spending on third-party audits or development.

Based on your feedback, we agree to remove the contract deployment fee in the first phase. Additionally, we’ll allocate over 80% of the funds to trading incentives and around 20% to marketing.

In Phase 2, The phase2 starts on December 10 and lasts for two months.

we’ll need your collaboration during the event to finalize the timeline and data. Since our goal is to incentivize your native users, a joint effort is essential for achieving reasonable outcomes.

The phase3 hasn’t started yet; its data will be determined based on the circumstances.

Please take our unique circumstances into account. Since our derivatives protocol is initially focused on activating the native token’s activity, setting KPIs unilaterally would be incomplete.

#12

Unfortunately, the latest forum comment did not fully address or clarify the points I previously highlighted in the proposal comment section as necessary for moving the proposal to a vote.

Please reconsider and add detailed targets and clearer phases/milestones, along with measurable KPIs. To reiterate:

  • Include specific, measurable KPIs for each phase/milestone, and consider breaking them down into sub-milestones to better outline expected outcomes and align them with the project’s growth trajectory.
    These should cover:
  • Performance-based metrics: such as TVL, transaction volumes, Transaction number, unique wallet addresses, or new partner integrations, etc
  • User growth metrics: including social media engagement, community expansion, and participation in activities like AMAs or user campaigns, etc

Looking forward to reading your revised proposal! Let me know how I can assist further.
