A Year of Flight

· 10 min read
🦊

We've rebranded! Aviator is now Airfox. Check out our Rebirth blog to learn more.

One year ago, our team laid out our flight plans and we set out to further develop what we believed to be the best aspects of decentralization. Within the first days of our existence, we shared a vision of a more perfect union between token holders and project developers, and laid the groundwork for the past eleven months of progress.

From our first Medium post, we explained that decentralization relies on delivery, but also integrity. Simply, it is a balanced effort of both the team and the community working together to develop technology that actually empowers all users. Decentralization is fragile, but worth fighting for. A community and their speech are worth protecting.

We expect that of all projects. Now, on the anniversary of Airfox’s launch, we want to show exactly how we are putting the power back into your hands, working together as a team and a community. But first! Some updates.

Tokenomics Status Update​

Our token distribution has naturally shifted since our launch, and our scheduled inflation through team token distributions is now completed. We are proud to be the only project of our size to fully utilize a DAO voting system for absolute control over treasury funds. This means that nothing is allowed to leave the treasury without a majority vote in our DAO, as promised in our active DAO Constitution.

In an industry that has increasingly become overpopulated by short-sighted projects with enormous allocations pre-set for VCs and insiders, we are proud to have only offered a maximum of 5% to our team.

Liquidity Relocking​

When we launched a year ago on July 13th, 2023, we provided an initial liquidity of 6,000,000,000 AFX and 3 WETH to Uniswap V2 before locking it for exactly one year in UNCX. This liquidity has grown substantially over time as our project has grown and currently represents over 1,000,000.00 USD in tradeable liquidity, an increase of 16,000%, with a fair market token value increase of 26,000%.

Our project-provided liquidity will unlock on July 13th, 2024. At this time, the following will occur:

  • Liquidity will be unlocked from UNCX.
  • The Airfox Treasury will collect LP fees provided through the Uniswap protocol.
  • Collected AFX shall be transferred to the Operations Wallet.
  • Collected ETH shall be transferred to the project’s Coinbase account to be re-invested into project development.
  • Liquidity will be migrated from Uniswap V2 to Uniswap V3 [0.3% fee structure] using Uniswap’s liquidity migration tool.
  • Liquidity will be relocked for one year in UNCX.

During this process, absolutely no action is required by token holders. There will never be any token migration event, and you will never be required to connect your wallet to any website to use the tokens you already own.

You may find that your wallet will ask you to approve spending for AFX if you sell it on Uniswap V3. This is because different versions of the Uniswap protocol each require their own approval for each token you wish to spend.

For those wondering, LP for when AFX is deployed on BASE has already been set aside here.

Product Development Updates​

SkyBridge​

Our developers are working diligently in preparation for the mainnet release of SkyBridge. Hacken is currently auditing our final smart contracts, and we are ecstatic to launch soon. At this time, we have decided not to publish a launch date in advance. Instead, news of the launch will be shared once it is already live.

Airfox Arcade​

We have been making great progress on Airfox Arcade. Our team has been fleshing out our in-house games and are preparing for another Game Jam event this summer, keep an eye out!

Smart contracts for Airfox Arcade are nearly completed at this time and will undergo a security audit before launch. Meanwhile, we are planning to recruit more and more developers to build on the platform. Remember, early developers receive a permanent 5% bonus on their games!

Community Rewind​

Our team took a lot of time to reflect on the past year and all that the community has accomplished for Airfox. We were truly astonished by the commitment and dedication community members have shown in spreading the word about Airfox!

Rumble Royale​

Some of our most popular community events have been our Discord Rumble Royale giveaways. We initiated these Rumble events to celebrate community milestones and to have a fun time with our members. During these events, we have given away over 20,000.00 USD worth of AFX tokens. Additionally, some very special community members have generously donated AFX to select Rumble Events. The fact that community members donated their AFX to give back further underscores the passion and kindness within our community.

Based Foxes NFT​

A community member took the initiative to create 3,000 unique NFTs for Airfox holders. They airdropped 1,800 NFTs to wallets holding AFX. This non-official community effort brought the AFX community together with laughter and enjoyment as everyone shared their favorite NFTs. People have used these NFTs as profile pictures and even created humorous memes, poems, and videos integrating AFX to introduce new people to the project.

The Shill Team​

Our Shill Team consists mostly of community members who post daily about Airfox on Twitter and other social media platforms. This dedicated group has been tirelessly promoting Airfox every single day by posting, reposting, and engaging with new users. They share their tweets and articles in the Telegram channel, and the community consistently shows its support. Many of these members have formed close friendships while working together to spread the word about Airfox.

Our goal would be for anyone interested in Airfox to join, so we can multiply our efforts in reaching as many people as possible. You can do so by joining the Telegram shill team group: https://t.me/Aviator_Shill.

In summary, everything mentioned above demonstrates how incredible the community is (and we’re just getting started) year two of Airfox promises to be even better! We hope to see this energy and enthusiasm continue for many years to come. Thank you to everyone for all the memories we’ve made in this past year! We’re excited to see what more this community can accomplish, as you are all an integral part of the Airfox team!

What’s Next?​

Within the next few days, a new DAO proposal will be published to re-approve the marketing wallet budget for Q3 2024.

We have evolved a lot over this past year and as a result, we will be updating and re-publishing a new version of our project Whitepaper (The Flightpaper) complete with new and updated information on SkyBridge, Airfox Arcade, project addresses, and more in an effort to present everything as comprehensively as possible.

We have hired a new seasoned UX professional to help us rebuild our website and applications from the ground up, focusing on accessibility and ease of use for SkyBridge and Airfox Arcade. This is a part of a broader goal to unify our brand and messaging across the board. We are conducting several focus group style interviews with community members who have utilized the SkyBridge testnet or other third-party bridges. If you are interested in being interviewed, please send us an email to: contact@aviator.ac!

Soon, we will be hosting documentation for all things Airfox on our website. This will cover both user documentation and developer documentation for developers interested in building for Airfox Arcade, integrating SkyBridge technology into their applications, or deploying their assets using SkyBridge. Additionally, new APIs are being deployed for third-party developers to utilize in their Airfox Ecosystem projects.

So what does it really mean to be an Airfox? Be independent, fight for what you believe in, and create your own destiny. Wear your patch with honor. There are no roads to follow in the sky; a pilot is free.

“…You are a pilot.” - Airfox
