What Is the 8LNDS Token

Not a security, not a stablecoin, no guaranteed yield — 8LNDS rewards real on-platform activity. See exactly what it does and doesn't promise.

8LNDS is the native token of the 8lends platform, issued on the Base blockchain (ERC-20 standard). It is a bonus and gamification token that investors receive for activity on the platform — primarily through Proof of Loan +4% on each investment and the referral program. 8LNDS is not a security and does not grant a share in the company or guaranteed income. Total supply: 100M tokens. The price is determined by market demand on Uniswap (Base). Contract: 0x55f9c8992fc4abce5aca585bf8f18284a2379d4c.

What 8LNDS Is

What 8LNDS Is NOT

It is important to outline the legal boundaries right away — what 8LNDS does not promise:

• Not a security — does not grant a share in Alpha Systems LLC or Maclear AG
• Not an interest-bearing financial instrument — no fixed "APR from lock" is promised
• Not a stablecoin — the price is not pegged to USD, it is market-driven and volatile
• Does not grant voting rights in platform governance, as a security does
• Does not guarantee an increase in value — it is a market token, the price may fall
• Does not insure against the risks of investing in 8lends projects
• Does not exempt from taxes — receiving 8LNDS may be taxable at the moment of receipt

8LNDS is a bonus token with tokenomics designed to reward active users. The token's utility develops in parallel with the 8lends ecosystem.

Why 8LNDS Is Needed

Distribution of rewards for real activity

Through Proof of Loan +4%, the platform distributes 8LNDS only to those who actually invest in projects. Not to crypto speculators, not to airdrop hunters. This creates a community of holders connected to the platform's real activity.

Link between platform growth and token value

The greater the revenue of 8lends, the more funds go toward the buyback and burn of 8LNDS from the market. This creates a link between the platform's growth and the maintenance of the token's price — but does not guarantee a price increase.

Long-term retention through vesting

A 39-week vesting period (40 unlocks of 2.5% each) prevents rapid selling on the market and incentivizes long-term participation by holders.

Gamification of investing

Receiving tokens as a bonus for investments makes using the platform more engaging without turning it into gambling — the main yield remains USDC interest, and 8LNDS is a second layer.

How 8LNDS Differs From Other Crypto Tokens

8LNDS is closest to the "reward token with growing utility" category — a token with a boost mechanic for active users and a connection to the platform's economy.

How to Obtain 8LNDS

There are three main ways:

Through Proof of Loan (recommended)

• +4% of the amount of each investment in 8LNDS
• Available to all investors automatically

Through the referral program

• +6% of invited friends' investments in 8LNDS (45 days)

Purchase on Uniswap

• Direct purchase via DEX on Base for USDC or ETH
• Does not require investing in projects

Most holders obtain 8LNDS through PoL — this is the most advantageous way, since it is added on top of the USDC yield from their investments.

What You Can Do With 8LNDS

• Hold — a bet on the long-term growth of the 8lends ecosystem
• Sell — exchange for USDC via Uniswap (Base)
• Use in lock mechanisms — for additional rewards
• Transfer — it is a regular ERC-20 token, can be sent to any wallet

All operations are on-chain on the Base blockchain, transparent and verifiable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a safe investment? 8LNDS is a crypto token with market volatility. Safety depends on: (1) smart contract audits (CertiK, Cyberscope, → How Smart Contracts Work on 8lends), (2) the volume of liquidity in the Uniswap pool, (3) market demand. It is not an insurance product and not an analog of a bank deposit. The price may rise or fall.

Is this an ICO or token sale? No, 8LNDS is not sold through an ICO/IDO/token sale in the traditional sense. The main distribution is through Proof of Loan for real investments and through Uniswap for free trading. This is a significantly more transparent and regulatorily safe model than classic ICOs.

Can 8LNDS fall to zero? Technically yes — like any crypto token. This is a basic risk of cryptocurrencies. The platform applies buy→burn→mint mechanics to support the price, but there are no guarantees. It is not recommended to allocate more to 8LNDS than you are prepared to lose.

What is the advantage of 8LNDS over simply receiving USDC interest? If you have a thesis that 8lends as a platform will grow — 8LNDS gives exposure to the ecosystem's growth. This is similar to how a company's stock may grow faster than dividends. If you have no growth thesis — you can simply sell 8LNDS for USDC right after claiming.

How does 8LNDS differ from LINK, AAVE or CAKE? LINK — Chainlink utility token (payment for oracles). AAVE — Aave governance token (voting). CAKE — PancakeSwap governance + reward token. 8LNDS is currently closest to a reward token with the beginnings of utility (locking, potential governance functions).

Is 8LNDS a security under US Securities Law? 8lends operates through Alpha Systems LLC in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, not in the US. The 8LNDS design is aimed at a utility function (bonuses, gamification), not at the expectation of income from the efforts of third parties. The specific qualification in each jurisdiction is the task of the regulator. For residents of certain jurisdictions, local regulation may apply.

Can 8LNDS be staked like ETH or ATOM? In the classic sense of Proof-of-Stake — no, 8LNDS is not used for block validation. There is a lock mechanism (internal retention of tokens for additional rewards — more details in How the 8LNDS Reward System Works), but this is not Proof-of-Stake.

Can 8LNDS be lost due to a platform hack? 8LNDS sits in your wallet under your control, following a non-custodial model. The platform does not have access to them. The protection of 8LNDS depends on the safekeeping of your seed phrase.See Article Data Security and KYC on 8lends: How Data Is Protected to learn more.

How much 8LNDS will a Maclear AG investor receive when transitioning to 8lends? Transferring KYC through a special form gives a quick start, but 8LNDS by itself is not issued for the transfer. Receiving 8LNDS occurs only through Proof of Loan, the referral program, or purchase.

Is a lower price of $0.001 at the start better or worse? The price is the result of dividing the capitalization by the supply. A low starting price and 100M total supply mean that the capitalization at the start is small. Further dynamics depend on the growth of demand and the operation of the buy→burn→mint mechanic, not on the starting price itself.
