Curators

Curators play a crucial role by vetting and showcasing token launches on Origin. While the value-add per curator can vary significantly, whether an auction is curated is an important consideration for token launch participants.

How to Become a Curator

Curation is permissionless at the contract level but is currently gated for the dApp alpha release. Founders, developers, DAO contributors, security experts, influencers, or individuals with other relevant expertise are all welcome to be apart of Axis. If you fit in one of these categories, apply here.

Curators set their fee percentage on-chain anywhere up to 10%, which is visible to auction owners prior to applying. Responsibilities are not set in stone and can be negotiated among curators and sellers. Competition on fees should help foster an environment where curators need to add value to receive value — a core principle of Axis.

Auction owners apply to be curated by a specific address, which then must be approved on-chain. In exchange, curators are paid a fee denominated in the token being auctioned (payout token). This fee structure aligns interests for all participants, and incentivizes both the auction owner and curator to review the auction’s configuration and terms.
