Hello to you beautiful future bag-holders!
(Updated 3/10/21)
I've spent hours upon hours answering newbie questions & helping onboard to this glorious platform and into crypto in general. Although I've done this freely & out of the kindness of my cold steel robot heart, I've come to terms that theirs nothing wrong with leaving my referral link if this info will benefit others greatly.
With that being said, I'd be remised if I didn't shamelessly plug my own referral link:
https://stake.axion.network/auction?ref=0xf0389dba62757761bff50c8402f41b315fbb4241
This link will grant you 10% off of tokens when you buy from an auction on the Axion.Network site. That's the best way to scoop up Axion like party chip dip! The auction will permanently be 10% cheaper than Uniswap, grant the referrer & referee that 10% bonus when using a referral link, and 80% of Eth from the daily auctions are automatically sent to Uniswap to buyback tokens. Gains are then sent right back to stakers via the audited code/smart contract.
You don't HAVE to use a referral but it's wise. If you don't use mine, use a friends or a 2nd Metamask wallet address for yourself.
What the heck is Axion even?
In short it's like a bank CD. Think of it like a a savings account that pays you more the longer you promise to keep your money in it. In our case anywhere from 1 day to 15 years. The difference is unlike traditional banks paying around 0.09% APR, Axion pays NO LESS than 8%, + WBTC (Bitcoin 👀 on the Ethereum network) twice weekly on Tues & Fridays! These actions are called the Venture Capitol Auctions or VCAs. Plus you get any rise in price of the Axion coin itself. (Side note, although the AXN/Axion coins & interest you stake will be unavailable until the term ends (to avoid early withdraw penalties, the Bitcoin is available and paid out IMMEDIATELY starting Fri March 12, 2021)!
Here's a link to the main Axion site for additional info: https://Axion.Network
You can reach the steaking platform by simply clicking on the Staking Platform button on the main website and connecting your Metamask wallet (browser extension) on the next page.
Why am I all in??
Well, because I was an early adopter of Hex. I watched my skeptical azz test of $5 turn into $75 in a few short months. When Pyrabank came out with their DAPP (Decentralized App) for HEX2T I put in a lot more than $5. That's for damn sure! Haha That project grew into Axion and they were nice enough to issue us free claims as well as original HEX holders. I was able to roll over all of that sweet profit and lock it in, as well as buy a few extra coins on my parents behalf. The fact that we voted as a community and added the option to receive some weekly dividend payments in the form of BTC among others is just a sweet sweet bonus. That's the reason why a record number of people are staking and agreeing to not spend their coins for 15 years. It's because the share rate/interest you get in Bitcoin payments is more valuable than the Axion coin itself. It's designed in that way. With so many people not able to spend their Axion for up to 15yrs, it makes available coins more rare, which drives up price further, which is passed right back to us as stakers. Amazing!
Oh and there's a Axion branded and backed credit card in the works from Connect Financial.
It's been audited yo!
The Smart Contract code has passed Solidity, Hacken, Certik, as well as numerous other independent audits.
Solidity VCA Audit Report was completed on 3/10/21 and can be read here.
The Hacken audit was completed on September 23rd, 2020, and can be read here.
Certik completed their Smart Contract Code Review and Security Analysis on October 23rd 2020, which you can read here.
“These reviews/audits ensure that our network is tested and secure, thus providing an extremely strong foundation built for longevity”.
Don't forget to setup a staking ladder
Basically, you want to make sure you have a little Axion liquid/spendable so that you always have a few coins on hand to sell when the market is on fire. Whether it's every 6 months or 30 days, it's wise to have a stake (locked in term) that will end reasonably soon. This strategy will become popular as soon as ETH gas fees lower. But keep most staked for 5555 days (15.2 yrs) since that's where all the interest is! Remember shares are ore important than the coin itself since you'll earn back the same amount from selling in 18 months on average + ongoing payments on top. You'll most likely get “rekt” if you try to day-trade this token. Just “Relax and Div” (collect dividends), trust me.
> A FANTASTIC resource to see all of the juicy stats of what's going on under the hood of the platform is Axionstats.info. See below.
Fun fact: 1% of all Eth that goes into the auctions are donated to planting trees via the Eden Reforestation project. Here's a snippet from the cool azz founder Jack:
"I am wildly passionate about reforestation, biodiversity, saving animals, and creating a healthy and thriving planet for future generations. When I see plastics, pollutants, and deforestation running rampant in our world, animals dying, and ecosystems going extinct, it pains me more than anything else". 
Side info but kinda important
This is a VERY friendly community. It was inspired by Richard Hart and his project called Hex which went up over 250x at it's peak so far. It's code is heavily modified to give off even better payouts to stakers/investors. One example being an annual 8% yield as well as 5 Big Pay Days known as BPDs instead of 1 with Hex. Big Pay Days are a series of 5 annual dates in which a percentage of accumulated tokens are paid out. This is a great incentive to stake for longer and receive bonus on years 1-5. YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAKE AT ALL but you would be missing the entire point of the project as well as a lot of sweet sweet upside.
Tip: After you've placed Eth into the auction and it comes to a close, you'll see exactly how many tokens you've received. You'll need to then stake your coins (do so when gas fees are cheap) and this will let you approve and auto stake them for a period of time. All the while gaining delicious interest. At the close of that stake period it'll show as 100% completed or Matured. Your stake is done like a pie in the oven. It's now time to “withdraw” your new found wealth back into your Metamask wallet, or reinvest a portion and watch it grow.
As of today there are 3079 early adopters who believe in the project enough to stake/lock up their Axion for 15.2 years. We call this the 5555 club since that's the number of days their Axion will be staked and gaining interest.
Oh and penalties are a great feature helping to keep trading volatility minimized. If you end a stake early, there are heavy penalties. Also, when your stake ends and your Dashboard shows 100% (whether it's 1 day or 15 years) there is a 2 week grace period to withdraw your earnings without penalty. The fees are 1% per week. Penalties and unclaimed Axion are some of the ways the auction pool is funded.
