[KCF Application] Yours Klay: Super Easy Value Add to NFTs

1. Product name
Yours Klay

2. Product description

2-1) Overview
Yours Klay is a protocol designed to create sustainable NFTs. It is specialized in increasing the usability of NFTs for users and issuing NFTs with financial functionalities. Functionally, it not only facilitates NFT issuance but also makes processes such as NFT combination, authentication, and distribution more convenient and easy. Ultimately, we will continue to build a model that not only increases transactions within Klaytn but also contributes to the increase in KLAY burning.

2-2) Problem
It is hard to defend the price of web3 assets like NFT, and sometime it is hard to cash out because of the lack of liquidity.

2-3) Solution
We started to build product to add financial backbone and user friendliness to the NFTs. Yours Klay provides the easiest solution to add value to NFTs.

2-4) Product

A. Seamless Minting & Management

  • Providing an easy-to-use link for NFT minting
  • Distributing NFT minting links to specific contacts
  • Accessing the MyPage through KakaoTalk messenger
  • Collecting NFTs from various chains in one MyPage
  • Combining multiple NFTs into one for practical use
  • (TBD) Providing templates for various NFTs (e.g., tickets, memberships)
  • (TBD) Facilitating token gating for communities

B. Credit system

  • Introducing a web2 rewards system called ‘Credits’ that enables easy NFT transactions and allows sellers to set incentives.
  • Credits issuance requires assets like KLAY to be backed up in a pool and will be utilized for various NFT-related functions in the future (e.g., NFT random gacha, random enhancement, etc.).

C. Minting Financial NFTs

  • Issuing NFTs representing Klaytn staking positions
  • (TBD) Issuing NFTs representing LP positions in other Klaytn DeFis

D. Utilization of Financial NFTs

  • NFT holders receive rewards; however, to prevent direct cash flow, continuous provision of web2 rewards ‘Credits’ will be provided, which can be swapped later.
  • NFT transactions can be used for position hedging or traded like mid-risk, mid-return bonds.
  • Combined with existing Klaytn NFTs, these NFTs can provide financial intrinsic value to existing NFTs.
  • Private funds that allow deposits only from holders of specific Klaytn series NFTs can be implemented.
  • Authorization for specific community treasuries and access can be represented by NFTs and traded (similar to functionalities like friend.tech).

4-1) Impact for Klaytn Ecosystem

  • It burns a substantial amount of KLAY by minting numerous NFTs and performing other functions.
  • It provides intrinsic value to tokens in the Klaytn ecosystem, including Klaytn NFTs, preventing price crashes.
  • It increases demand and liquidity for Klaytn NFTs.
  • It onboards more mainstream users to the Klaytn platform.

4-2) Differentiation from existing DeFi & NFT projects

As-is:

  • Existing DeFi primarily focuses on traditional swaps and loans, failing to directly expand user demand for KLAY.
  • There was a lack of compelling reasons to attract external funds to Klaytn.
  • NFTs mainly symbolized communities, with limited potential for sustainable financial value creation.

To-be:

  • The Yours Klay maximizes internal burning within Klaytn and encourages inflow of external funds.
  • By creating easily accessible Klaytn-based staking NFTs offering diverse web2 rewards, it motivates the use of Klaytn.
  • Transferring NFTs from other chains to Klaytn and integrating them with financial NFTs generates value.
  • Collaborating with dApps on various chains through web2 rewards can increase demand for KLAY.
  • Additionally, the user-friendly Yours Klay ensures easy access for any user.

4-3) Milestone

Milestone 1 (1 Month):

  • Deployment on Klaytn testnet
  • Implementation of NFT combinations
  • Partnership with at least one Klaytn project

Milestone 2 (1 Month):

  • Klaytn mainnet launch
  • Onboarding of over 200 users
  • Implementation of credit use cases

Milestone 3 (1 Month):

  • Strengthening incentives for protocol contributors
  • Onboarding of over 1,000 users
  • Partnerships with two or more web2 and web3 communities

5. Budget proposal

I think the milestones and budget are reasonable. It would be great if numerical data simulating the KLAY burn amount for 4-1) were also provided.

Thank you for the feedback!
We are planning to burn KLAY in three major cases:

  1. 20% of protocol operating revenue.
  2. Burning to add some specific functions in NFT.
  3. Gas fee from NFT generating and transfer.

If we assume the status right after stage 3, the below could be the sketch of how many KLAY would be burnt through the protocol.
After 3 milestones, our targeted burning amount would be the 2400 KLAY / month, but this could be adjusted according to the feedbacks and by redistributing the incentive.

  1. If there are 100,000 KLAY in the protocol, nearly 4000 KLAY would be the approximate protocol operation revenue. Then 800 KLAY / month would be burnt from the protocol fee.
  2. If there are some functions which could be ran by using credits or burning a certain amount of KLAY and 50 KLAY would be burnt daily through this, 1500 KLAY / month would be burnt - but the protocol has to carefully choose the benefits from burning KLAY, like Gacha or Buff for the users, to provide the right incentive for the users.
  3. If there are 1000 monthly active users who make 2-3 transfers a day and 10 NFT series are minted, nearly 100 KLAY / month are burnt.

Last but not least, to make more NFTs and increase the amount of the KLAY burnt, there could be some more effort in Partnership, PR and active user onboarding trials.
Hope this could be an answer! :slightly_smiling_face:
