Everest partners with large organizations to bring the benefits of blockchain, crypto and DeFi to millions of users worldwide.
ID Token
IDs are utility tokens that endow staking rewards, voting rights on governance, plus access to the Everest platform and services.
There are only 800 million ID tokens in existence, which are purchased by users, banks, exchanges, NGOs, businesses & eAgents that want to transact on Everest. Team and Strategic Partners, Consultants are locked for six months. Reserves are locked for 18 months. Ecosystem development locked until eAgents and eTellers produce revenue accordingly.
Stakers
Stakers are given REWARDS & varying levels of access to the platform based on how many tokens they stake, and the associated voting rights to determine the future of the platform. Stakers also have access to lower fees & higher returns. Stakers earn bonus tokens based on time locked. Simply holding an ID in an EverWallet for a day earns a user 5% APY; holding for 90 days earns a user 25% APY; holding for 365 days earns a user 40% APY.
In addition to reward ID tokens for staking, the following benefits are available:
- Silver: 10,000 IDs
- Save 5% on fees for buying crypto, remittances, swapping, borrowing
- Earn additional 0.25% on savings
- Gold: 25,000 IDs
- Save 10% on fees for buying crypto, remittances, swapping, borrowing
- Earn additional 0.5% on savings
- Platinum: 50,000 IDs
- Global Debit Card in 2021 (European & US residents primary; 2nd can be anywhere).
- Save 15% on fees for buying crypto, remittances, swapping, borrowing
- Earn additional 0.75% on savings
Governance: Stakers can determine the direction of Everest. As a regulated financial institution, Everest is legally required to maintain control over elements like compliance, but such things as adding new features, allocating a portion of the ecosystem pool can be determined by the community. For example, the community could vote to incentivize penetration in the Philippines with 1M location-specific ID tokens that can only be used for sign ups in the Philippines, or 1M ID tokens if 50k users sign up in 30 days; both scenarios leveraging Everest’s programmable token.
Ecosystem development is achieved via eAgents & eTellers: eAgents are organizations who manage eTellers, and eTellers are those who sign up users to the various Everest services. eAgents & eTellers earn tokens based on the amount of friends signed up, and the associated fees generated by their friends. Kyber, for example, is an eAgent, who will earn reward ID tokens, and pass those on to their users. The commission schedule is as follows:
- 20% commissions, paid in ID tokens on the monthly average price of IDs in USD
- eAgents & eTellers sign up users to an Everest wallet using an affiliate link or agent app, and split the commission 50/50.
- eTellers are individuals who register users who perform functions like send/receive remittances, buy/sell crypto, save in an account, etc.
- i.e. An eAgent Organization signs up five eTellers, who bring on 1,000 users, who generate fees of $50/user/month = $50,000. So, the eAgent and eTellers would receive rewards of $10k/month in ID tokens.
Everest offers a bevy of different services, and earns revenue on each:
The 100M pool for ecosystem development is equivalent to USD $50M in revenue. And at 20% commissions, a MUCH better earning opportunity for eAgents and eTellers than the traditional financial world.
