00:47information you'd like us to cover on this channel but without wasting any time let's dive right into
00:54handle fi okay so this is um a protocol obviously operating within this world of digital currencies
01:03and uh we know that stable coins actually aim for a consistent market value by pretty much anchoring
01:10their worth to external assets within handle fi these collateral uh bagged stable coins known as
01:19fx tokens uh actually mimic um and are loosely pegged to a variety of global currencies so handle fi is
01:29built on the arbitram network it serves as a comprehensive solution in defy and the protocol
01:36enables you as a user to effectively engage in leverage trading currency conversions borrowing and
01:44earning through its primary building blocks which are these fx tokens so the global forex market does see an
01:55average daily trading volume of up to about 7.5 trillion dollars that was in 22 2022 and it's reached
02:05actually a staggering 2.74 quadrillion and uh while the usd serves as a global financial backbone for the fx markets
02:16the rapid growth of uh defy has also sort of uh facilitated these u.s pegged stable coins some of which
02:25uh see daily trading volumes of up to 30 billion handle fi expands the options by offering multi-currency
02:34fx tokens which actually empower you as a user to uh engage in a number of financial activities that are
02:44denominated in your chosen currency so what is also important about handle fi is that it's a non-custodial
02:51platform it ensures that you have full control over your assets eliminating the need for third party
02:57mediation and the fx tokens currently available on handle fi include the australian dollar aud the
03:06british pound the canadian dollar chinese renminbi the euro the japanese yen you can also um use the
03:15philippine peso uh and uh the singapore dollar swiss francs or the us dollar so i want to just dive into
03:24how you guys can actually trade forex on handle fi and give you a breakdown is uh uh of the process
03:31i actually went and played around a little bit on the platform it's uh quite um magnificent to get
03:38started you just need to go to app dot handle dot fi connect your web3 wallet for example your metamask
03:47and once you're connected you can then proceed to set up your trades that is either take a long or
03:55short position on the currency pay of your choice and choose the amount of leverage that you like
04:02in this demonstration we do take a 30 long position uh and it's a market position on the usd fx jpy pay
04:13which is the fx tokens for the japanese yen and we choose to use the 5x leverage you have to read
04:20through the terms and conditions okay so you can understand that you are working with the site
04:26that is non-custodial and other terms that they outline there so you make sure you're understanding
04:34the terms and conditions before or after that you can then proceed to actually uh then kind of sign
04:41the signature sometimes you might be required to sign that transaction allowing the smart contracts
04:47of handle fi to also interact with your actual wallet and once that's done you can go ahead and
04:54confirm your trade and everything is set you can confirm your buys um and you can proceed after that
05:03you can also get a confirmation for the transaction fee that you need to pay and once that's processed you
05:09will get that confirmation to say you've successfully longed or shorted uh the pay that you are trading
05:17and every transaction is also uh traceable via abiscan which is arbitrum block explorer if you're
05:25interested in uh also purchasing a forex tokens which is the native ecosystem token for handle fi uh you
05:33make sure that you get the um contract address from uh coin gecko coin market cap for arbitram i think
05:41they're also on polygon and then you add that to your wallet to make sure you are able to do a swap if
05:47you're going to use your wallet to do the swap to get these tokens which is what i did here using metamask
05:53paid the transaction fee as you can see transaction completed so let's talk about the forex token ecosystem
05:59itself and what it has to offer so the protocols native token like i said forex does reward you as
06:06a user for actions that benefit the platform and allow participation in governance to be part of the
06:12handle fi governance users must acquire these ve forex tokens and uh you can then participate in
06:20governance you can also earn up to two and a half uh x boosted rewards for various uh protocol
06:26activities you can also receive a share of the protocols endings through the forex liquidity
06:31provision and if we're talking about just the tokenomics in the distribution there are only 420
06:37million forex tokens that will be minted over an initial 182 week time frame followed by a terminal
06:45inflation rate of 2.1 per cent per year token allocation is varied and designed for long-term ecosystem
06:53health and as you can see here the token is trading very very low but i feel like this has potential
07:00to probably appreciate over time as a lot more forex traders start to use decentralized exchanges
07:07you heard the volumes that i touched on earlier the trillions of dollars in volume that run through fx
07:13markets ultimately a lot of people are going to try to cut out these brokers and actually trade directly
07:20with the non-custodial platforms such as handle fi or other platforms like gains trade for example
07:27so you can also participate in governance strict uh staking of the ve forex uh tokens users are able to
07:35lock up their forex uh or fx usd uh pay for that liquidity pool and the 80 20 ratio for balancer pool tokens
07:46into the governance pool to actually receive for esc escrow the forex or ve for uh forex okay so this
07:53allows you to then participate in governance receive those enhanced rewards and uh also receive a share
07:58of the protocol fees the longer you actually lock up your tokens the more ve forex you're able to receive
08:04pay by increasing your influence and rewards within that ecosystem so the minimum
08:09locking period is also one week the maximum extends to up to a year the weight offer uses ve forex's um tokens
08:19does diminish uh linearly as they are locked tokens near uh the uh expiration as well so let's talk about
08:26the fees on handle fi initiation uh or initiating a vault to actually obtain credit does come with both
08:34upfront and ongoing fees additionally it's crucial to also mention and you need to be aware that there
08:41is a minimal collateral to debt uh ratio uh minimum c ratio um uh to stay clear pretty much of any
08:50potential liquidation so you need to know that the lowest debt uh you can incur at any given time is a
08:56hundred uh this is uh particularly relevant if you're planning to pay down some of your outstanding
09:01debt and the remaining balance falls below that hundred uh threshold so you can also see the
09:08actual uh fees uh for uh minting uh and burning depositing withdrawing liquidation fees redemption
09:17initiation fees and a lot of that so there are also some collateral parameters that you need to
09:24uh take into consideration you can see more information on their website or just check out the
09:29link to the actual full review on our main site on decentralized using you'll be able to see those
09:35and uh we can also talk about these fee structures and uh for pretty much when it comes to trading and
09:41liquidations right when it comes to uh leverage trading itself it's a typical in the sector to
09:46calculate fees based on the entire value of your position which is uh effectively determined by
09:52uh multiplying uh your leverage with your collateral so there are uh those fees that are applicable so
10:00you can see uh for uh cryptocurrency markets uh 1.1 x uh maximum leverage 50 x minimum collateral as
10:08five dollars minimum position in usd five dollars 50 forex 1.1 x 100 x maximum leverage minimum being that
10:18one uh 1.1 in a minimum collateral usd five dollars also minimum position size five dollars 50 the
10:27trading fees are pretty simple as well if btc 0.10 fx no fees at all the spreads are quite clear uh you
10:37can check out like i said the link in the description to see those you can also see the funding fees
10:42etc but uh you also need to understand the liquidation charges okay so on handle five
10:49any trading position is pretty much subject to a liquidation if specific uh criteria
10:55uh known as liquidation triggers um it so your position will cross the liquidation threshold
11:01if it uh if it's a leverage exceeds the maximum that's allowed or if it falls below the minimum
11:08collateral that is required it's also important to note that the value of your collateral is not
11:13static it's uh computed in real time so your ongoing collateral value is essentially your initial
11:19collateral adjusted for any losses in fees that you've incurred and uh like i said on cryptocurrencies
11:27uh your maximum leverage is 100x minimum collateral five dollars forex is 110x minimum collateral
11:33five dollars uh you can also check out some of the conversion fees if you want to make conversions
11:38using the platform at the end of the day at the outset handle five does have this dial governance
11:44that's responsible for determining all fees and system parameters the protocol does have future
11:49plans so actually transition toward algorithmically sort of driven mechanisms for fee and parameter
11:56adjustments in their subsequent upgrades so this is a very um impressive platform like i said i've used
12:04other uh platforms like g trade which you can also check out the link is in the description that allow you
12:11to access foreign markets forex markets uh using uh decentralized uh marketplaces and uh handle five does
12:21seem to be one of those impressive platforms i think it's going to do very well over time so keep
12:27an eye on it check it out and also let me know what you think about the product itself i think is pretty
12:32impressive if you're interested in learning more about centralized finance etc check out the link in
