In the dynamic world of decentralized finance (DeFi), Spell Token (SPELL) stands out as an innovative reward and governance token within the Abracadabra.money ecosystem. As the native token of a platform that leverages interest-bearing tokens (ibTKNs) as collateral to mint the USD-pegged stablecoin, Magic Internet Money (MIM), SPELL offers unique opportunities for users to earn rewards, participate in governance, and engage in yield farming. The platform's integration with cutting-edge technologies, such as the Kashi Lending Technology pioneered by SushiSwap, highlights its commitment to providing isolated lending markets and adjustable risk tolerance. Dive into the fascinating mechanics and use cases of Spell Token to understand its potential in reshaping DeFi lending.

What Is Spell Token (SPELL)?

Spell Token (SPELL) is a reward token associated with abracadabra.money, a lending platform that uses interest-bearing tokens (ibTKNs) as collateral to borrow a USD-pegged stablecoin called Magic Internet Money (MIM). Abracadabra utilizes the Kashi Lending Technology pioneered by SushiSwap (SUSHI) to provide isolated lending markets, allowing users to adjust their risk tolerance according to the collateral they decide to use. Users can deposit collateral and borrow MIM against it. Abracadabra also offers yield farming opportunities, where users can stake their liquidity provider (LP) tokens to farm SPELL. This facilitates better liquidity for certain cryptocurrency pairs, currently Ether (ETH)-Spell Token (SPELL) and Magic Internet Money (MIM)-LP 3pool Curve (3CRV). Furthermore, users can also open leveraged farming positions using borrowed MIM from their interest-bearing collateral.

Who Are the Founders of Spell Token?

Abracadabra is not an official decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) but is instead governed through a Snapshot page. MIM are minted through a 6/10 multisignature contract composed of the following partially pseudonymous users:

• Poolpi – yearn.finance (YFI)
• Leo Cheng – Cream Finance (CREAM)
• Michael – Curve DAO Token (CRV)
• Julien – Stake DAO (SDT)
• C2tp – Convex Finance (CVX)
• Sifu – Wonderland (TIME)
• Georgiy – Abracadabra and Popsicle Finance (ICE)
• 0xmerlin – Abracadabra
• Danielesesta – Abracadabra, TIME, and ICE
• Squirrel – Abracadabra and ICE

What Makes Spell Token Unique?

Thanks to the Kashi Lending Technology introduced by SushiSwap, Abracadabra’s isolated lending markets have sparked a wave of innovation in decentralized finance (DeFi) lending. In an isolated lending market, the risk is not shared collectively. Users can provide liquidity for any token, and if the currency pair loses its liquidity or something happens to the smart contract, only that pair is affected and not the entire platform. This allows Abracadabra to offer various pairs that are not supported by most other decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

One of the features of using this technology is that users can leverage their interest-bearing token positions. Users borrow against their positions and then again borrow against the borrowed stablecoin, creating several loops and thereby increasing their leverage. All of this is done in one transaction, which is why the user only pays a gas fee once.

Spell Token (SPELL) can be farmed by providing liquidity in one of the different pools. SPELL can also be staked, and staked tokens accrue a share of the platform fees (interest, borrowing fees, and 10% of the liquidation fee for certain markets), which auto-compound.

How Many Spell Token (SPELL) Coins Are There in Circulation?

The total supply of Spell Token (SPELL) is 210 billion, with 210 billion having been burned after token generation. The token distribution is as follows:

• 63% (132.3B SPELL): global farming incentives
• 30% (63.0B SPELL): team allocation (4-year vesting schedule)
• 7% (14.7B SPELL): initial DEX offering

SPELL will follow a ten-year halving model, which will cut in half the rewards distributed every year. 50% of team tokens are to be issued in the first year, 25% in the second, and 12.5% in the third and fourth years. Each week, 624 million SPELL are emitted.
