Of all the badass creatures in the animal kingdom, none seem to inspire success quite like the honey badger. Known as one of the most determined animals in the face of adversity, the honey badger is persistent and does not give up when met with obstacles. Failure is simply never an option for this ferocious beast when the odds appear to be out of favor. Their versatility and resourcefulness, when met with new challenges, further helps lead them to victory when things don’t go as initially planned. Determination and resourcefulness are key characteristics to have in your favor, but if you’ve seen the famous meme “The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger” from 2011, you already know that honey badgers don’t give a f#$% about anybody but themselves. When it comes to the world of cryptocurrency investing, however, one startup is showing that they do care immensely, and are harnessing the determination and resourcefulness of the badger to drive success for their holders, and the crypto community as a whole.
TruBadger ($TRUBGR) is a new reflection, deflationary and utility token and dApp ecosystem hosted on the Binance Smart Chain network. Their value-driven approach focuses heavily on developing a strong, balanced and collaborative community of token holders. They help onboard newcomers into the crypto space by providing step-by-step enablement with how-to videos on YouTube, daily training calls on Zoom, Telegram help chats, and frequent AMAs with their fully doxxed dev team. Founder and CEO, Peter Gantner recently said :
Community is the commerce of the future. We focus on the token holders and what the value of the token will do to enhance their lives, not just the token value itself.
The TruBadger dev team have worked together for 5 years and bring a diverse array of professional backgrounds; ranging from programmers, financial exchange traders, graphic designers, marketers, an in-house artist, and a business-minded CEO who has been featured in Forbes Magazine and Wall Street Journal. This fully doxxed team believes having accountability will build strong and authentic relationships with their token holders and drive the project’s long-term viability. They make themselves available to their community through various channels, and have frequent AMAs on their Telegram. Women on their team also hold AMAs. Gantner highlighted:
We are a balanced team of men and women. We have noticed that the number of women is low in the blockchain space [and] believe [it] is an equal-opportunity space, and want to empower more women to enter this space.
TruBadger’s governing processes are designed to foster a culture of inclusion that gives a sense of true ownership of the project to the community. TruBadger holds 30 minute live token parties to meet their holders to provide education, entertainment, and build relationships. They hold regular contests that engage the community; which distributes 2.5% of all tokens allocated as a reward, to which holders vote for the contest winners. And while most crypto projects have auto-burns of their tokens, TruBadger held the industry’s first-ever “burn party” of their token live on YouTube, and brought their community in on the celebration ; even featuring a performance by the freshly signed Humble g tha Fiddla.
The Tokenomics
While it might seem like a lot, TruBadger’s one quadrillion (1,000,000,000,000,000) starting supply of tokens is currently burning at a rate of 1% weekly during their public token burn campaign. This guarantees deflation over time that will aim to bring long-term value for token holders. Their holders will gain a constant 3% in tokens through a static redistribution that is paid out instantly. The token will also be used strategically as collateral towards future TruBadger projects.
Each $TRUBGR transaction is taxed at a rate of 10% and designates 4% of that tax contribution into their Coin Stability Fund; an all-encompassing locked Liquidity Pool. The TruBadger Coin Stability Fund consists of three separate wallets which unlock at a staggered 90 days, 105 days, and 120 days respectively. Strategic decisioning on future lock/unlock periods for a specific wallet are determined at the time it is unlocked. The 10% tax includes 2% toward their Marketing and Innovation Fund. Revenue generated by projects from this Marketing and Innovation Fund will be used to buy back and burn tokens. TruBadger holders will benefit by receiving airdrops from other projects launched through it as well.
The Roadmap
There are some big initiatives planned on the TruBadger roadmap to deliver more value and expand upon their larger dApp ecosystem. The upcoming launch of their CataBolt Swap will aim to solve a major concern for up-and-coming crypto tokens during their pre-launch activities prior to their listing on PancakeSwap exchange. CataBolt Swap’s proprietary software will help to prevent trading bots from manipulating the token price during launch. Mitigating that risk during this crucial time will help these startups to avoid the catastrophic impacts that ultimately discourage initial investors and put the future of the overall project at risk. CataBolt Swap is scheduled for release in August 2021, and is currently in beta testing.
NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, have become a buzzword in 2021; gaining celebrity endorsements and generating billions of dollars in revenue for sellers of their digital property. With the growing use-cases and popularity of NFTs lately, TruBadger will be releasing their very own NFT Marketplace on CenterPoint in August of this year. The platform will be unique from those of others in the space; enabling access to original collectibles and works of art for the masses. The focus will be to enable NFTs with high value potential to be more affordable to the public.
A third venture announced thus far by TruBadger is their crypto trading software. They are collaborating with digieBot.com to design a trading bot along with expert traders. This collaboration aims to create advanced automation that will enable crypto investors with the tools necessary to effectively strategize crypto trading. The ultimate goal is enhancing their overall profit.
The TruBadger team is just getting started with the rollout of their vision for their dApp ecosystem. True to their mission, they are already focusing on bridging the gap for newcomers and making cryptocurrency investing simpler to participate in. They believe their journey to change the industry has just begun. With their community of just 2000 investors, they had already achieved a $20M market cap within just a week from launching.
Like the tenacious honey badger, will TruBadger’s deduction and ingenuity guide them to achieve their ultimate goal of empowering the masses to participate in a financial marketplace that is transparent, open and accessible? Through training, technology, and gateways, they certainly hope to prove they are capable of doing so. They believe creating a real system of value and making it easier for the public to enter the crypto space through transparency and education benefits the greater good. That is why TruBadger is trying to prove to everyone that it is one badass badger doing good good things. You can learn more about TruBadger by checking out their site at trubadger.io.
