Introduction 01

The rise of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and its use for financial inclusion and transparency has grown
substantially during the past three years. Financial market volatility and the emergence of decentralized
infrastructure, offering greater security and lower risks, are the two leading factors for this growth. DeFi provides
a new way to create and engage with financial services for existing market participants and cements its place as
part of the finance industry by expanding market participation and access to dormant pools of liquidity. These are
provided by individuals who were either non-participants or excluded from traditional financial markets. In
combination with the upsurge of stablecoins and asset-backed tokens, DeFi disrupts and transforms credit/loans,
insurance, marketplaces, and banking with new forms of governance models, transparency, data credibility, and
inclusion.
It is only a matter of time until many of the existing financial services become available within the DeFi ecosystem.
The DeFi industry is currently following the early footsteps of the inception of “modern banking.” Modern banking,
as we know it today, materialized by the end of the 16th century and during the 17th century. The traditional
banking functions of wealth management, such as accepting deposits, safekeeping, money lending, interest rates,
and transferring funds, were combined with bank debt issuance. Fast forward to 2020, and all of these traditional
banking functions still exist today in the emerging DeFi space. While this currently is DeFi’s biggest strength, it also
exposes fundamental flaws with the existing liquidity pool service offerings due to flawed token staking
economies.

Sector Key Issues

– Accredited Investor – Minimum Capital


Wealth Requirements Requirements
Management – Opaque Governance – Low Investment Yield
– High Management Fees – Long Contractual Lock-ups

– Supply Inflation – Rigid Infrastructure


Staking
– Lack of Features – Lack of features beyond
Economy – Lack of user empowerment staking itself

Meanwhile, banks struggle with the fact that their core service offerings may erode with the emergence of new
DeFi and FinTech solutions that empower the user rather than the banking institutions. However, banks currently
still retain significant advantages utilizing highly sophisticated, specialized, and proprietary tools, programs, data,
and strategies. In particular, financial institutions leverage new developments in Artificial intelligence (AI),
specifically in Deep and Machine Learning, to retain a competitive advantage. An example of this is an Equity
Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) that leverages proprietary AI, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), or Quantitative
Trading market strategies.
Hence, to further advance the current DeFi industry, we require adopting the aforementioned proven
technologies to explore new product offerings.

We welcome you to DeFi 2.0,

Innovating Decentralized Finance (DeFi) - Transitioning to a universally more beneficial liquidity pool operating
model.

Vision
We enable the crypto community to seize the advantages of Artificial Intelligence, Data Oracles, and Quantitative
Analysis to optimize their liquidity mining pool strategies. Our system streamlines the DeFi value proposition and
popularizes the use of digital assets. Ultimately, we aim to be the go-to platform for users looking for a
decentralized liquidity pooling service. Our ambition is to provide high utility, balancing risk, and reward using
sophisticated AI solutions.

Objectives 03

The overall goal is to build a distributed ledger-based liquidity mining solution that streamlines user experience.
Moreover, to harness the power of advanced tools and eliminate the need for intermediaries. We have set out to

Platform 04

4.1 The BonFi Platform

BonFi is a multilayered open finance liquidity mining platform complemented by the AI-powered BonVest. This
liquidity pool service helps users optimize their liquidity mining pool strategies. It expands the DeFi financial
product offering by combining smart contract staking, quantitative analysis to optimize staking rewards for users.

– As an open finance liquidity mining service platform, BonFi is built on the Ethereum blockchain and
uses an ERC-20 token denoted as BonFi (BNF) for its governance.
– BonVest utilizes state-of-the-art technology, such as AI, Data Oracles and Quant Trading to achieve
benefits for users independently.
– User gain access to the BonVest through smart contract staking assets on the BonFi App, using a Tier
and Perk system. This system provides governance privileges and the BonFi Tier Table (refer to
Section 4.4 for additional information).
– Users interact directly with the platform without having to worry about complex terms or penalties.
– If users deposit crypto assets into the BonFi platform, these assets will be wrapped using an ERC-20
token, the bonToken (refer to Section 7.4 for additional information), to separate the utility of the
BNF token from the value of the underlying asset.
– Minimums or fixed terms are always communicated and users are always in control of their assets.

4.2 BonVest

The Finance industry is a crucial driver for the innovation of proprietary AI technology. There are various examples
of use cases in banking and finance, such as fully automated investment execution, algorithmic trading, fraud
prevention, and credit evaluation. Through machine and deep learning, elite investment funds continuously
outperform markets by leveraging data and information (e.g., Big Data, Market Data, Machine Data). Harnessing
proprietary AI's power, BonVest taps into Data and Oracle feeds (e.g., ChainLink) to rapidly identify opportunities,
track and extrapolate market indicators. Through the effective use of the AI system, the platform's liquidity
placement decisions will produce benefits for its users.
BonVest's proprietary Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Oracles and Quantitative Data Analysis are capable of:

– leveraging advanced data analytics; – collecting time-series price action data;


– evaluating assets and track market trends; – mapping complex data patterns;
– gathering market sentiment data; – utilizing its predictive analytics to optimize
liquidity pool mining.

Deploying AI solutions do not come without challenges. It is essential to highlight the importance of verifiability
and audibility. Understanding how the AI derives its conclusions may be obscure for human interpretation.

4.2 BonVest cont.

In recent years, numerous studies show that state-of-the-art AI algorithms can predict the traditional stock market
and cryptocurrency market prices. Financial market prices are influenced by multiple factors, including complex
non-linear time-series information, behavioral (sentiment, blockchain activity), and technical (historical prices,
technical trading indicators) data. By aggregating these different data points, we can develop accurate and robust
predictions algorithms. Moreover, rigorous data cross-validation and standardization scheme must be used to
avoid training biases such as statistical under- and overfitting. Otherwise, the model may inaccurately capture
information and noise in the underlying data.
Finally, data quantity, quality, and relevance play a crucial role in enabling predictive market models to be
accurate. Therefore, the development of a market intelligence database fed by custom-built web-crawlers and
real-time API feeds harnessing advanced feature engineering techniques, provides a solid foundation for the
deployment of robust prediction engines. AI will contribute to leapfrogging archaic solutions that are no longer
relevant for open finance.

4.3 BonVest AI – Deconstructed

The BonVest AI (BonAI) is planned to access various analysis engines, and oracle feeds in real-time. It combines
predictive modeling algorithms to rate, score, understand, and interpret information. This process allows for
autonomous decision-making while being future proof against potential verifiability requirements.

4.4 The BonFi Tier System

The BonFi platform divides the staking model into 3 BonFi Tiers. Each tier allows for customization based on
different user preferences for:
User Preference(s)

Staking amount Legendary


Tier(s)

Staking duration Professional

Underlying digital asset Rookie

Users can freely choose their preferred Tier and Perks. Users are incentivized with bonuses if they stake BNF,
resulting in greater staking rewards.

Users can buy & sell BNF tokens through exchanges. They are also able to stake BNF on the BonFi Platform. There
are no minimum deposits. Supported deposit coins/tokens other than BNF (e.g., BTC, ETH, LTC) automatically
convert into equivalent bonTokens before receiving rewards through the BonFi Platform.

BonFi DAO 06

6.1 Context

Across the finance and blockchain industries, many organizations face challenges concerning effective governance.
Ineffective governance leads to a centralization of power, lack of innovation, or misalignment of stakeholder
interests. Examples of non-effective governance include:

– Finance Industry: Stagnant innovation and old ways of managing wealth. Leadership has limited
accountability and is disconnected from investors.
– Blockchain Industry: Very challenging to implement protocol updates as it is challenging to reach
consensus via the blockchain.

Many public blockchains struggle with power centralization and stakeholder misalignment. These issues prevent
them from achieving organizational effectiveness and community involvement. Instead, we want to build a
blockchain organization where the community leads the future direction of liquidity mining. In such a system,
BonFi platform participants, developers, and token holders become an inseparable part of this organization.
The solution lies with transitioning to a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) that moves from off-chain
to on-chain decision making. This management structure allows organizations to advance dynamically and drive
the adoption of decentralized governance models forward. Simultaneously, it opens new channels of governance
and streamlining innovation to be considered by the entire organization democratically. Given the benefits of
transitioning to a DAO governance model, BonFi, at its inception, will function as a centralized entity but will
slowly convert into a DAO with the release of BonFi 2.0. Placing on-chain governance in the hands of token holders
will strengthen the core BonFi offering and ecosystem.

6.2 The BonFi Org.

At its inception, The BonFi Org. consists of the Organizational Management Team (OM) and its ecosystem partner
BonVest and its Leadership Team (BVL). Both operate independently under separate legal entities and provide
different services that strengthen and contribute to the BonFi ecosystem.
OM key responsibilities:
– Manage operations and marketing.
– Build BonFi ecosystem (e.g. BonFi App, partnerships).
– Grow BonFi community and attract users.

BVL key responsibilities:


– Launch proprietary AI-powered liquidity pooling optimization service offering.
– Manage BonVest operations.
– Ensure regulatory compliance.

Note: The BonFi Whitepaper describes only the BonFi Platform and its ecosystem concept

11
www.bon.finance

6.3 The BonFi DAO

The transition to BonFi DAO is going to take place concurrently with the release of BonFi 2.0. The BonFi DAO
places governance, voting rights, and the organization's election into the community's hands. The governance
structure will provide organizational control to a democratically chosen supervisory council and the community,
who will have greater control of the future direction of the BonFi ecosystem. Users will be able to directly
influence vital organizational decisions, such as the launch of new yield farming products, proposed protocol
changes, and more.
Ultimately, this model allows the community to continue to seize the opportunities created by AI and DeFi, while
making governance more democratic. We intend to stay true to blockchain technology's vision while providing the
benefits of AI-powered liquidity mining services in the crypto space. BonFi aims to offer an AI-powered liquidity
pooling service to every single participant in a user-friendly package.

6.4 BonFi DAO Council

The BonFi DAO Council will be composed, at minimum, of five council members. The council members'
responsibilities are to take a leading role in guiding the execution of BonFi DAO.
After the go-live of the BonFi DAO, an election will be held to assign Council members. Electoral requirements will
include: 1) a vested interest in the platform through staking of BNF token and 2) community voting. 1 BNF Token is
equal to 1 Vote.
The Council will always maintain an off number of councilors, with a maximum of 9 and a minimum of 5 Council
members. The elected Council members will guide the proposal process, voting, and evaluation within the
governance model. Council members will have the right to veto any decision that they deem harmful to the DAO's
integrity and stability. All decisions require a Council majority vote to pass. Furthermore, within the governance
model, it is possible to create sub-councils that specifically focus on relevant topics, such as marketing or
community initiatives. The Council and sub-councils are independent of the BVL Team and provide checks and
balances between community governance and oversight.

6.5 BonFi 2.0 DAO Governance Model

The BonFi 2.0 DAO governance model of community oversight, is an executive body that governs the BonFi
Platform. The BonVest is a permanent ecosystem partner and takes part in the interests of the DAO governance
body (community/token holders).
BonFi Community DAO will have the scope to drive key organizational decisions, including but not limited to, the
following:

Token Governance Ecosystem Governance DAO Governance

Tokenomics 07

7.1 BonFi token

The BonFi governance token (BNF) functions as an entry piece for the community to become members of the
BonFi ecosystem. It offers exclusive access and unlocks the benefits with the BonVest, a state of the art AI-
powered cryptocurrency liquidity pool optimization solution. Also, it functions as a gateway to directly influence
the future direction of the organization. Members can influence BonFi’s future governance, the launch of new
products, and protocol upgrades. As the number of participants grows, the more decentralized and autonomous
BonFi becomes (See section 6.3, BonFi DAO).
In summary, the BonFi tokenomics provide a balance between the role, purpose, and function of BNF, while
ensuring the positive growth of BNF token’s adoption and utility. Moreover, BNF tokenomics is strengthened by
adopting an inclusive governance structure embodied in the BonFi DAO. The community can co-govern and
expand the token economy of the BNF Token.

7.2 BonToken

Upon the go-live of the BonFi Platform, when a crypto


ETH
asset is deposited into the BonFi platform, the
bonToken(s) separates the utility of the BNF token from
the value of the underlying asset. The deposited asset's
value (e.g., BTC, ETH, USDT, BNF, etc.) is reflected as an
ERC-20 token balance bonToken. This BonToken entitles
the owner to the underlying asset on 1:1 ratio (e.g., 1
bonBTC: 1 BTC)

bonETH
7.3 Token Generation Event

The BonFi token has been launched as an ERC-20 token with the ticker BNF. The BonFi Org. manages BNF with the
objective of promoting the BonFi ecosystem as a global standard for autonomous, decentralized liquidity mining
service offerings.
All contributions to BNF's Token generation are re-allocated, where ever possible within the platform to enhance
our AI technology and foster a healthy ecosystem of open finance products. Our goal is to work with other
innovative organizations to advance decentralized liquidity pool services further. For this purpose, projects that
choose to integrate BNF into their ecosystem may be eligible for support.

14
www.bon.finance

7.4 Token Supply & Distribution

Token Supply
The total supply of BonFi (BNF) tokens at launch is 1.000.000.000 Tokens. The token supply is fixed for the first
two years and will not be changed. After that, the BonFi DAO will reconsider the supply with a maximum inflation
cap of 6%.

that increase BNF token’s adoption and utility. Grants are provided to teams that are self-operating and have a
proven ability to execute upon a clear strategy and roadmap. Accordingly, the BonFi Governance team will extend
grants on a milestones basis with individuals fulfilling pre-determined KPIs.
Raised funds will be used to continuously increase the awareness and understanding of BonFi networks around
the globe. These efforts will ensure a strong community around the BonFi ecosystem. At the same time, it
accelerates the development of decentralized AI-driven DeFi solutions.

Team Token Lock-Up Period


The BonFi team and advisors’ BNF tokens will be gradually unlocked over a 24-month (2-year) timeline, with each
release scheduled every three months. The quarterly dispersion of team and advisor tokens amounts to ~12.5% of
team allocation or 1.875% of the total supply (18.75m BNF).
Early Member Token Sale Lock-Up Period
Early community members who joined during the Member Token Sale round will receive 100% of their tokens
following the completion of the early member and member token sale (19. October 2020).

of relevant jurisdictions in which relevant activities may take place. It is not possible to guarantee, and no person
makes any assurances, that any such licenses or approvals will be obtained within a particular timeframe or at all.
This means that the initiatives described in this whitepaper may not be available in certain markets, or at all.
Furthermore, the development of any initiatives is intended to be implemented in stages. During certain stages of
development, the project may rely on relationships with certain licensed third party entities. If these entities are
no longer properly licensed in the relevant jurisdiction, this will impact the ability of the organization to rely on the
services of that party.

risks and uncertainties. Our forward looking statements are based on information currently available to us about
the business that we operate.
Forward-looking statements may involve approximations and assumptions. These are by their nature, subject to

actual results or outcomes that differ materially from those expressed in the forward looking statements.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date at which such statement is made. We bear no obligation

Additional Risk Statements


Cryptographic tokens may be subject to expropriation and/or theft; hackers or other malicious groups or
organizations may attempt to interfere with our system/network in various ways, including malware attacks, denial
of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing, and spoofing which may result in the loss of
your cryptographic tokens, the loss of your ability to access or control your cryptographic tokens. In such an event,
there may be no remedy, and holders of cryptographic tokens are not guaranteed any remedy, refund, or
compensation.
The regulatory status of cryptographic tokens and digital assets is currently unsettled, varies among jurisdictions
and subject to significant uncertainty. It is possible that in the future, certain laws, regulations, policies or rules
relating to cryptographic tokens, digital assets, blockchain technology, or blockchain applications may be
implemented which directly or indirectly affect or restrict cryptographic token holders’ right to acquire, own, hold,
sell, convert, trade, or use cryptographic tokens.
The uncertainty in tax legislation relating to cryptographic tokens and digital assets may expose cryptographic
token holders to tax consequences associated with the use or trading of cryptographic tokens. Digital assets and
financial products and services carry significant risks. Potential purchasers should assess the nature of, and their
own appetite for, relevant risks independently and consult their advisers before making any decisions.
