Infinex launches IPO on the Sonar platform

Project Overview

Infinex is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform launched in April 2024 by Synthetix founder Kain Warwick. The project aims to break down the boundaries between CeFi and DeFi, providing a seamless user experience similar to centralized exchanges while maintaining the non-custodial nature and security of decentralized services.

Participation Guidelines and Details

On November 27, Infinex, a new project created by Synthetix founder Kain Warwick, officially announced that it will soon conduct a TGE and plans to conduct a public offering on Sonar with a FDV of $300 million. It plans to sell 5% of the INX token supply, aiming to raise $15 million, and has chosen Sonar as the platform for the initial offering.

According to Infinex's official introduction, this public offering will have two participation paths: guaranteed allocation and lottery allocation. The guaranteed allocation is for users holding Patron NFTs in liquid (unlocked) status, and the specific guarantee strategy is as follows:

• 1 Patron NFT: $2,000 quota;
• 5 Patron NFTs: $15,000 quota;
• 25 Patron NFTs: $100,000 quota;
• 100 Patron NFTs: $500,000 quota;
• The allocation follows an additive mechanism. For example, if you hold 32 Patron NFTs in liquid state, your quota will be: 100,000 + 15,000 + 2,000 + 2,000 = $119,000.

The lottery allocation is open to all users, and anyone can apply to participate. The specific rules are as follows:

• The minimum subscription amount is US$200, and the maximum subscription amount is US$5,000.
• If the subscription quantity exceeds the subscription limit, the orders will be allocated by lottery;
• Each order has an equal probability of being selected, and if selected, the subscription amount will be fully allocated.
• Unfulfilled orders will be automatically refunded.

It's worth noting that this public offering will have a one-year lock-up period , but it includes an early unlocking clause. The specific design for early unlocking is as follows:

• At the time of TGE, if one chooses to unlock early, it will become a subscription at a price of $1 billion FDV;
• During the one-year lock-up period, the price will linearly fall back to the initially set $300 million;
• If the trading price of INX after listing is higher than the real-time early unlock price, some public offering participants may choose to unlock early, thus making the unlock curve smoother.
