APR

Annual Percentage Rate, is the annualized interest rate without taking the effect of compounding into account.

APY

Annual Percentage Yield, is the normalized representation of an interest rate, based on a compounding period over one year. Note that APYs provided are rather ballpark level indicators and not so much precise future results.

BCV

Bond Control Variable, is the scaling factor at which bond prices change. A higher BCV means a lower discount for minters and higher inflation by the protocol. A lower BCV means a higher discount for minters and lower inflation by the protocol.

DAO

Decentralized Autonomous Organization, is a governance mechanism for making decisions in a more trustless and collaborative way. Voting rights are often bound to a governance token.

EVM

Ethereum Virtual Machine, is a state machine in which all Ethereum accounts and smart contracts live. At any given block in the chain, Ethereum has one and only one canonical state, and the EVM is what defines the rules for computing a new valid state from block to block.

LP

Liquidity Provider token, is the token received when providing liquidity on DEXs. To bond you have to create a KNOX-MIM LP

DCV

Deflation Control Variable, is the scaling factor at which protocol defined buy pressure changes. A higher DCV means more buy pressure from the protocol, resulting in a higher deflation. A lower DCV means less buy pressure from the protocol, resulting in a lower deflation.

Liquidity Bonds

Liquidity bonds are all the bonds that allows users to mint KNOX using LP token. An Example is KNOX-MIM LP bonds.

Backing per KNOX

Backing per KNOX, is the amount of funds the treasury guarantees to use for backing KNOX.

TVL

Total Value Locked, is the dollar amount of all KNOX staked in the protocol. This metric is often used as growth or health indicator in DeFi projects.
