tl;dr - Jade Is Evolving Into Something Truly GreatIf you haven't read JADEs latest "State of the Union" Medium article, or you want someone (me) to read it to you while you're in the car, doing yardwork, or just relaxing...Then, you're in luck...

This "litepaper" is to give a high-level look at the new community-driven project by the SmartCoin community, tentatively titled, "Project X / SUBLAYER" and due for confirmation on-chain vote.Read the full litepaper in GitBook, here: http://smarterdao.xyz/0:00 - Overview8:15 - Project Pitch15:09 - Team25:32 - Funding36:27 - NFKey36:48 - Treasure Farm Tokenomics1:13:39 - System Diagram1:14:18 - Early GovernancePurpose:To create a new project concept and native token that is layered on top of the pre-existing SmarterCoin token, giving $SMRTR new utility and bringing value to the SmartCoin Diamond Tier community.This will be accomplished by creating a new DeFi loop and NFT Marketplace with unique and differentiated value propositions for both buyers and sellers. Buyers can use gamified bidding such as "rafflenomics" to acquire NFTs at below-floor pricing while sellers can expect faster liquidity and better price control.The Treasure Farm, briefly outlined below will be established to reward Diamond Handers & other holders of SMRTr (loose or JLP) while building the native token infrastructure to run what was outlined in Discord as "sublayer".How it Works:Stake your NFKeyUpgrade key by burning $SMRTR (to increase rewards rate)Open Treasure Boxes (to increase rewards rate)Earn $TRESRUnlock Raffle Swap to buy/sell NFTs & digital assetsBridge NFTs to earn more rewardsOur sheer numbers will allow us to quickly become the go-to NFT Marketplace on Avalanche.

Here's the recording with Dexpools where we discuss:—Upcoming IDO—OTC Trading—NFT swap—Slippage—Referral system—Broker tools—JADE partnership...and more!

Jon takes to Twitter Spaces to interact directly with people. There are plently of great discussions on what the next steps are for Sublayer and I think we are all feeling pretty BULLISH

Jon goes in depth with the Project X proposal. The votes have been tallied in Discord and now it's time to start talking about tokenomics and whether $SMRTR is stayin' alive... Wen Unicorn? Wen Moon? SOON

Jade Protocol delaying the Avalanche launch. Here's why...Our team has been hard at work building out what is going to be an epic new website, UI/UX, and bridge to AVAX for JADE.We're currently finalizing local testing of both CELR bridge and our own native bridge. New UX/UI is moving swimmingly and looks sick. We're excited to get this launched so we can ramp up the marketing engine again. We know everyone is ready for that.We want the AVAX launch to be as stress-free as possible. We've already experienced what can happen when we try to rush for a launch date without crossing all T's and dotting all I's.Too many projects have put timeline over quality of smart contracts and security (us included) and it has not served investors.We're getting very close but absolutely not willing to launch until we've thoroughly tested all possible scenarios—and with all the newly added bonding options this has become a more complex contract than when we first announced our Feb 18th date.It would be easy to say we're going to delay for a week, then update you, but we don't want to string anyone along. Realistically, we won't feel 100% confident without a few more weeks of testing, minimum.That puts us at a potential launch date around March 15th.The next chapter of JADE is going to be a powerful one and this is the foundation that the next 5 years is going to live on top of.We know it's frustrating to see a delay but the intention is to launch when all cylinders are ready to fire at full capacity.We'll update once a week on progress and new timelines as they become available.This is an attempt at a deeper level of transparency, which we want to become a standard as we invest and grow the treasury and open up new opportunities for our investors.Thank you for your patience ❤️

Jon answers questions that were asked on his twitter thread that is held weekly to help the community find answers and clarity in the various projects that are going on

Always great to connect with so many smart and passionate people in the community. We covered quite a bit on this call, so take a listen to the replay if you want to get some insight into current happenings in the $JADE, $SMRTR, and Project X ecosystem.

$DXP launching SOON!!!! Currently in open BETA and it is amazing!!!

In this episode Jon speaks directly with the community and answers a lot of amazing questions about the present and very bright future of Jade and their investments that are starting to take flight.

JADE's co-founder, "Kevin Randleman", jumped into Discord to update the community on what's happening with Jade Protocol.

A decentralized, subscription based, blockchain streaming platform to compete with Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, etc.There is another project out there right now that is attempting to buy the Blockbuster brand from Dish Network to start a blockchain video streaming service but they don't have the capital to make an offer capable of acquiring the Brand / IP yet. I had submitted that project as a potential investment opportunity for FLF to help them get the seed money to purchase the Brand for a stake in their DAO, but I think it would make more sense, now that we're starting "Project X" to beat them to the chase and purchase the Blockbuster brand for ourselves to create our own Decentralized Streaming Platform. With the Blockbuster name and visibility, creating a blockchain based subscription streaming service for videos and potentially video games. Imagine Netflix / Prime Video combined with Steam / Epic Games / Origin all accessible via a monthly or yearly crypto subscription. Also potential to interact with various NFT games, Play 2 Earn games, Metaverse. With Metaverse coming, imagine the nostalgia of seeing a Blockbuster video sitting somewhere down the street from your Sandbox property. There's also the potential for Blockbuster Original movies / series as Netflix does. Even without the Blockbuster name, the idea for a decentralized blockchain streaming platform for videos and games with a physical presence in the metaverse could be quite large.
