INTRODUCING ROBUSTSWAP

So many lessons have been learned since the launch of the Robust Token (RBT), and as we navigate the ever-changing DeFi landscape, the Robust Protocol team is focused on creating and implementing more innovative products.

What is RobustSwap?
RobustSwap is a revolutionary decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM) on the Binance Smart Chain designed to optimize profitability through scarcity and liquidity.

What makes RobustSwap different?
RobustSwap is the first decentralized exchange on the Binance Smart Chain to integrate an anti-bot and anti-flash loan yield farming feature that equally protects users trading the native token from the menace of front-running and liquidity sniper bots.

DeFi yield farming is the emergent trend on the Binance Smart Chain, with new projects appearing every day. The vast majority of these farms are clones that add little to nothing to the project that they adapted.

RobustSwap breaks this pattern and introduces several new features that optimize safety and performance.

What can you do on RobustSwap?
Trade and Swap
RobustSwap allows users to exchange tokens on the Binance Smart Chain safely and quickly.

Earn RBS
RobustSwap Token (RBS) is the native token of RobustSwap DEX, with multiple features designed for price stability and growth which ensures maximum APR to investors in the RobustSwap farm and pools.

Users can earn RBS by:

By providing liquidity.
By staking in RobustSwap farms and pools.
By referring your friends.
By trading on the RobustSwap DEX after AMM launch.
ROBUSTSWAP TOKEN (RBS)
The RBS token is the native token of the Robustswap decentralized exchange
(DEX).

It will primarily be farmed, used to incentivize liquidity providers and staking
pools of the Robustswap DEX.

RBS has a hard cap maximum supply of 106 050. No more RBS can ever be
created once this limit has been reached.

Users will be able to earn RBS by providing liquidity, staking in RobustSwap
farms and pools, and referring friends.

RBS is highly customizable to allow for future development, integration, and
partnerships.

RBS FEATURES
RBS is highly customizable to allow for future development, integration, and partnerships. All available features can be customized as required, subject to timelock delays.

Anti-Bot
We have developed a revolutionary security protocol called the “BotGuard”
which protects users transactions from being front-run by bots.

When initialized, BotGuard forces a delay that prevents a user from making
multiple transactions within the same block. The number of blocks delay can
be adjusted as required.

This delay will not impact the experience of regular users, who normally do
not make multiple transactions in split seconds like all bots do.

BotGuard has equally been implemented in the RobustSwap MasterChef
contract to prevent flash-loan attacks.

Limited Supply and Emission
Only 105 120 RBS can be mined, with a minimum of 316 RBS mined per day.

90% of the daily emission (288 RBS) will be allotted to staking farm and pools
while the other 10% (28.8 RBS) will go to the team.

This puts the estimated length of the active period of RBS mining to 332 days.

Furthermore, if a user is referred to RBS by another user, the user’s referrer will receive an extra 1% of all claimed farming and staking rewards of the user.

Once the 105 120 RBS hard limit has been reached no more RBS can be mined or created.

Liquidity Generation
Liquidity generation is a core feature of the RobustSwap Token (RBS) and
additional RBS/BNB liquidity will be created depending on the RBS
transaction tax and burn rate settings.

A percentage of each transaction will be either taxed or burned accordingly
and the proceeds from this tax will be accumulated in the RBS contract.

Liquidity generation will be triggered whenever the BNB value of the accrued
RBS tax reaches a meaningful threshold.

Creating liquidity only in proportion to the price of BNB ensures that the
generated liquidity has value and promotes a steady price floor. It equally
prevents any sudden price movements due to liquidity generation.

Time-Locked Liquidity
At launch 576 RBS will be used to provide initial trading liquidity:

288 (RBS/BUSD)
288 (RBS/BNB)

This Initial trading liquidity and all generated liquidity from transaction tax
will be time-locked in the RBS contract.

RBS/BUSD

RBS/BNB

Anti-Dumping
RobustSwap Token (RBS) is whale friendly. However, there is a set limit for
transaction size to manage the price impact of any single transaction.

At launch, any single transaction that exceeds 1% of the RBS total supply will
be rejected. As the total supply increases, this ratio will be reduced to reflect
the new supply.

Irrespective of this limit, it is still possible to break up a large transaction into
several smaller transactions.

Also, there is no artificial restriction as to what percentage of the circulating
supply that a single holder can represent. The free market will be allowed to
adjust itself accordingly.

Smart Burning
Burning tokens in crypto is a norm. However, what is not addressed is whether it is an effective way to accomplish a stable price growth, which is the main reason tokens are burned.

Furthermore, from extensive research and rigorous tests, it is clear that buying back and burning tokens is a complete waste of resources.

RBS is designed with liquidity generation at the core rather than unnecessary token burns.

Nevertheless, RBS token burns can occur in two ways:

RBS Transaction Tax Burn
If transaction tax is enabled, all, part or none of the transaction tax is burned depending on the tax burn rate setting.

RBS Contract Balance Burn
If transaction tax burn rate setting is below 100%, all generated transaction tax amount is sent to the RBS contract for automatic liquidity generation.

A feature to burn part or all generated tax stored in the RBS contract is available.

ROBUSTSWAP TIMELOCK
RobustSwap has implemented a 24-hour minimum delay contract for all
sensitive operations.

This time lock is necessary to protect users’ from arbitrary changes that
could impact the value of assets.

The operator of the RobustSwap Token (RBS) will be the RobustSwap
Timelock Contract.

The ownership of the RobustSwap MasterChef will transferred be the
RobustSwap Timelock Contract.

The ownership of the RobustSwap Referral Contract will be transferred to the
RobustSwap Timelock Contract.

ROBUSTSWAP ROADMAP
As part of our desire to continue to innovate, we will be implementing the following features in the RobustSwap decentralized exchange (DEX):

Automated Market Maker (AMM) — Q1 2022:
During launch, the RobustSwap DEX will utilize the PancakeSwap factory and router smart contracts for swap and liquidity provision. While this is ideal in the short-term to attract more investors to RobustSwap, we will be migrating to our own factory and router contracts.

This migration will allow us to gain control of the fees generated from transacting on the RobustSwap DEX. Generated fees can be used to incentivize users of the RobustSwap DEX and to further develop the Robust Protocol ecosystem.

RobustSwap UI Improvements — (Q1 2022)
We will be making several tweaks to the RobustSwap DEX user interface for a smoother and more user-friendly trading experience.

RobustSwap Vault — (Q1 2022)
Auto-compounding pools that generate yields from users’ assets.

RobustSwap Limit Order — (Q1 2022)
RobustSwap users will be able to setup future price targets to automatically trade assets.

Robust Protocol Bridge — (Q2 2022)
Seamlessly swap and transfer assets across multiple chains including BSC, Ethereum, and Polygon.

RobustSwap App — (Q3 2022)
Mobile app for the RobustSwap DEX for both Android and iOS devices.

Important
Please note that this roadmap is subject to change without any prior notice and estimated delivery dates are NOT guaranteed.

INTRODUCING ROBUST TOKEN

An experimental deflationary fixed-supply token on the Binance Smart Chain.

Let’s face it, there are way too many tokens out there and most of them do absolutely nothing but lose value with time.

Most tokens are by design inflationary and their supply will keep on growing even without any demand or use case.

With the current meme token season, where billions or even gazillions tokens are minted with no utility, this issue becomes even more dire.

Furthermore, many tokens with fixed supply rarely generate enough transaction volume to create value for holders. Resorting to a grand last-minute token burn event is also usually counterproductive and actively promotes the expected pump and dump fallout.

ROBUST TOKEN (RBT)

RBT is an experimental fixed-supply token designed with an aggressive deflationary mechanism.

At launch, a total supply of 100 000 RBT will be minted. After this initial minting process, no more RBT can ever be created again.

However, every RBT transaction will incur a 1% transaction fee. This fee will get deducted from each transaction, burned, and converted into Robust Reward (RBW).

Effectively, every transaction will contribute to the permanent reduction in the total supply of RBT.

RBT RESERVE

During the initial minting of 100 000 RBT, 50% or 50 000 RBT transferred to the 15-day time-locked RBT Reserve.

This reserve is the only source from which more RBT can be injected into circulation. In the event of a drastic reduction in the total supply due to extreme price movements and rapid burning, community members can vote to inject more RBT into circulation from the RBT Reserve. RBW holders will proportionally receive any distribution from the RBT Reserve.

ROBUST REWARD (RBW)

RBW can only be created by the RBT smart contract. Every time a RBT transaction occurs, 1% of the total amount of the transaction will deducted, burned, and converted into RBW.

Example:
Transaction value: 1 000 RBT
Total burn: 10 RBT
Transaction Reward: 10 RBW
The recipient will receive 990 RBT and 10 RBW.
The total supply of RBT will permanently reduce by 10 RBT.

RBW Recipient

Please note that only the recipient of a RBT traction will receive the created RBW. When buying RBT from Pancakeswap, you are the de facto recipient of the transaction. As such, you will receive the appropriate amount of RBW after the 1% transaction fee is deducted and burned.

However, when selling your RBT on Pancakeswap, the RBT liquidity pool smart contract is the recipient of the transaction. Consequently, you will not receive any RBW after the 1% transaction fee is deducted and burned.

RBW Utility

RBW will represent the holder’s share in the Robust Protocol ecosystem. It will be used for the governance of the ecosystem and confer voting rights to the holder. RBW will also be the primary token for bootstrapping all future projects under the Robust Protocol ecosystem.

If or when the total supply of RBT goes below a threshold determined by the community, RBW holders can vote to unlock all or a portion of the 15-day time-locked 50 000 RBT from the Robust Token Reserve. Any amount of RBT that is unlocked, will be distributed to all RBW holders proportionally. The more RBW you have, the more RBT you stand to receive from such a distribution.

TOKEN DISTRIBUTION

Total Supply
100 000 RBT

Ecosystem Fund
5 000 RBT (Burned)

Ecosystem and Liquidity will be burned.

Marketing funds will be utilized for all marketing and project related expenses by the Robust Protocol team.

AUDIT

While a lot of work has been done by the Robust Protocol team to ensure the safety of the project, there has been no independent or formal audit of the smart contracts. Please do your own research and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

An independent and formal audit will be done as soon as funds become available for such an endeavor.

TIMELOCK

There is a 15-day time-lock delay on both the RBT and RBT Reserve smart contracts. RBW holders will be able to vote to implement the following changes:

  1. RBT Transaction Fee: Currently 1% of the total RBT transaction value.
  2. RBW Mint Rate: Currently 1% of the total RBT transaction value.
  3. Reserve Withdrawal: After launch, 50 000 RBT will be locked in the Robust Token (RBT) Reserve. RBW holders can vote to decide whether more RBT should be released into circulation from the RBT Reserve.

MARKETING

This is always a major challenge to every new project. The Robust Protocol team will actively seek partnerships with other projects as the ecosystem matures. Rather than going for the pump and dump marketing approach, the Robust Protocol team will work towards a more sustainable system that derives value based on creating utility for projects in the Robust Protocol ecosystem.

5 000 RBT will be allocated to marketing and project related expenses. We encourage the community to reach out to us with effective marketing ideas and suggestions.

ROADMAP

The Robust Protocol team will be launching various project on the Binance Smart Chain before the end of Q4 2021. The following projects are in various stages of development and more announcements will be made as they become available:

Algorithmic Stablecoin with Lending
A hybrid part-collateralized algorithmic stablecoin based on various models currently in operation. This will have an inbuilt lending platform. This will be launched on the Binance Smart Chain.

Decentralized Exchange
A decentralized exchange and aggregator on the Binance Smart Chain.

Analytics and Tools
A platform that will include charts, price alerts, limit orders, transaction analysis and other trading tools for the Binance Smart Chain.

GOVERNANCE

Robust Protocol is a community governed project. Please feel free to engage with the team on all available social platforms. A snapshot page will be setup shortly after launch.
