1) Ecosystemic independence from biases prevalent in the foundations operating on existing networks. 2) Enable a native digital asset with the economic profile of a gas token and establish a new foundation of value attribution. 3) Provide unique environment with desirable properties, specifically designed for the dynamic demands of the Sport industry.
ATLETA exists primarily for the purpose of being a credibly-neutral, censorship resistant environment; meaning that it cherishes decentralization and independence. Layer 2's are notoriously centralized, further fragment liquidity, and depend on the whims/operational specifications of their underlying networks.
By opting to deploy a Layer 1 network instead, ATLETA becomes independent from other chains and avoid centralization risks.
ATLETA supports smart contract written in Solidity and Ink!; for more information please refer to the
Yes; ATLETA can be added to any EVM friendly Web3 wallet; including MetaMask, Rabby, Rainbow, and a multitude of others. There will be a guide containing more granular information about how to do so made available in our "Guide" section of documentation in the near future.
Both of the terms can be used interchangeably, however at its core, $ATLA is a coin. The difference between a coin and a token boils down to the nature and function of a digital asset; generally speaking, coins are native blockchain tokens (such as ETH, SOL, BTC) and tokens are smart contracts deployed on top of another blockchain.
Both terms are very similar in meaning, locking up assets as collateral in order to gain some unique functionality. Generally, staking is a generic term, and bonding has a specifically attributable process where the lock-up is not immediate.
Burning is simply removing tokens from circulating supply. Given the immutable nature of blockchains, burned tokens are not really "destroyed"; they are sent to a system account address that has no private keys (typically the genesis block) and thus can never be retrieved from their.
In order to ensure maximal decentralization and even distribution while maintaining optimal security in ATLETA validators have a Stake range of $ATLA 75,000 - 7,500,00. Anything below 75,000 $ATLA (0.001% total supply) does not qualify an actor to become an operator; this minimal threshold ensure sufficient skin-in-the-game to deter misbehavior. Anything above 7,500,000 $ATLA (0.1% total supply) does not register due to potential risks around over-concentration of supply in a small group of actors; meaning that excess coins provide no benefits/yield and in fact, punish validators (and their nominators) with a taxation that will drive the stake down until parity with 7,500,000.
Becoming a nominator requires a minimum contribution of 10 $ATLA coins.
Rewards for nominators begin accruing immediately after the bonding process completes.
Yes. During the instantiation of a nominators staking, you will be presented with three options for where you want rewards to go: 1) to funding address setting up the staking (automatic) 2) to another address (manual input) 3) to the staking batch, compounding the stake We kindly ask that users pay close attention during the bonding process due to the inability to reverse a decision once finalized. If you would like to switch where rewards are funneled, you will have to unstake, wait for un-bonding, and then re-stake with your new preferences specified.
If a proposal is denied/withdrawn, the author must wait the minimal cooldown period of 403,200 blocks (14 days) before submitting their next proposal. If a proposal is in implementation, the author must wait until their suggestion is fully implemented before they can propose the next idea. This is done in order to keep authors focused on delivering their proposals.
A user can have only 1 concurrent proposal active at any given time.
Generally, Parachains will be able to continue operating, although with delayed finality and lowered security.
Yes. ATLETA utilizes a modular design allowing it to act as a DA layer for any scaling solution.
ATLETA grant programs are predominately distributed in the form of $ATLA coins. However, depending on the specific nature of a grant application and the team behind it, Stablecoin and hybrid solutions will/can be organized.
Every grant program will have its own unique demands, thus every project will vary in its timeframe. Usually, a grant will fall within the range of 1-12 months. If projects delivery ahead of their allotted/expected timeframes, their payout accelerate pro-rata. However, is a project does not delivery within their timeframe, their funding is immediately frozen; and they will have to re-apply.
As a public good, social wellness is a key component of Atleta's philosophy. Atleta is determined to provide a secure environment, from the infrastructure to the applications, for all calibers of users; therefore, the AGP (Atleta Grants Program) has been designed to attract only the best quality initiatives and exclude categories that infringe on jurisdictional legislations or promote criminal activity.
Exclusions: Gambling, illicit trade, money laundering, adult entertainment, et al.
Yes absolutely. Given the stringent and uncertain policies of the US, special compliance arrangements are made for US citizens where a wider set of data is collected and the payments take place in stablecoins through platforms that have been registered with the US authorities or even potentially as fiat transfers.
Projects are generally granted amnesty for delays around milestone deliveries, however during these moments they will have their funding postponed and clocks pushed back. Tranches will remain locked until milestones are satisfied. Not tolerated: - Delays over 21 days - More than 10 delays - Missing the final milestone by more than 7 days
This depends on the use case, macroeconomic circumstances, the intended outcome, the character of the applicant, so be savvy, honest, and thorough.
Recommended range(s): 5,000 - 100,000 $ATLA $2,500 - $200,000 Recommended asset(s): $ATLA $USDc $USDt Automatic Guaranteed Denials: - task duration in over 24 months - Requests over 1,000,000 $ATLA - Payouts in non-compatible
Yes, of course; just be advised this will factor heavily negative on the final outcome.
From the moment an application is submitted to the moment it receives its first tranche of funding is typically within 90 days or ~12-14 weeks.
Denials can arrive much sooner, 30-60 days or ~4-8 weeks.
There are only 2 ways for an application to be denied; with or without reason. Denials with a reason will likely indicate some degree of interest from ATLETA's side and provide information about what to do prior to re-submitting.
Denial without a reason mostly applies to projects that are missing key information or have triggered red flags. Participants are informed about the outcomes of their grant applications via direct communication (email/TG). We encourage all denied proposals to consider resubmission after 60-90 days have passed.
Option A: $ATLA coin(s) Option B: Stablecoins Option C: Mixture of $ATLA coins + Stablecoins Learn more about the payouts for
** In the unlikely event a proposal does not receive a response within 60 days of submittal, we kindly as you to please resubmit the proposal & reach out to somebody from the community on our .
