Where can RNC be bought and sold? Currently, only at raydium.io, swapping USDC and RNC.

Currently, the liquidity reserve mechanism (selling RNC if the RNC price is “too much” above target, and buying RNC if the RNC price is “too much” below target) is applied manually. We will be exploring algorithmic approaches.

The 4 payout phases are currently not yet automated, but the corresponding RNC are locked using the Bonfida token vesting program.

The price target until 2028 is given by

which is supposed to be mainly driven by new app users over time given by

The long-term target trajectories are given by

Obviously, it is not clear at all whether these targets will be achieved. Timing adjustments might become necessary, we will closely monitor the progress. Furthermore, note that there are several investment risks involved:

  • Depegging of USDC, as already observed during the collapse of the trading platform FTX, when USDC was traded below 0.9 USD.
  • Collapse of Solana, Raydium (as long as this remains the only way to buy and sell RNC), or the collapse of all ways to exchange USDC 1:1 into USD and then into your preferred local currency.
  • The app does not spread as expected, the RNC price does not appreciate as expected, investors start selling, the RNC price drops back to the initial 0.05 USD – or even below in case the members of the Core Advisory Board sell as well.
  • Last but not least, and most relevant: you lose your private key to your Solana wallet.

Buying RNC

In order to buy RNC you will need a Solana wallet, we recommend using the Phantom app on your mobile device. Also, you need to use some platform to exchange your fiat currency, e.g., USD into crypto currencies, e.g., SOL and USDC. We will not give any recommendations, but we advise in general to remove any currencies from any platform as quickly as possible. Only use the platforms to exchange, and then move to (cold) wallets where you possess the private key yourself.

  1. Download Phantom and create a new wallet, see “Download Phantom for Mobile” here.
  2. Note that Phantom also offers ways to buy crypto currencies, see here, but you might want to use your favorite platform to buy SOL and USDC.
  3. Send/deposit SOL (due to low transaction fees, 0.01 SOL will be fully sufficient for many, many transactions) and USDC to your Phantom wallet using the Solana network, see here.
  4. Note that you can also swap SOL into USDC, in case you only have SOL but no USDC, see here.
  5. Finally, tap on the “globe” tab on the Phantom app to access Raydium. Copy-paste this URL into the URL text field at the top, connect your wallet, and enter the amount of USDC you would like to swap into RNC and confirm the transaction.
