This collection covers everything from high-level vision to technical implementation details. Start with the whitepaper for context, then dive into specific areas based on your interests.
Overview
Dwarves+ Protocol implements a sophisticated dual-token system with Bitcoin-backed value layer designed to incentivize research, development, and community participation while maintaining sustainable economics and decentralized governance.
Core tokens
- ICY token (Utility): Powers daily operations, contributor rewards, and protocol services - backed by Bitcoin treasury
- DFG token (Governance): Enables protocol governance, dividend collection, and long-term value accrual
Bitcoin treasury layer
The protocol maintains a Bitcoin treasury that backs ICY token value through:
- Regular Bitcoin purchases: 10-15% of consulting profits converted to BTC monthly
- Value floor: ICY tokens have a dynamic value floor based on Bitcoin backing ratio
- Transparent management: Public dashboard showing real-time treasury metrics
- Automatic buyback: ICY buyback and burn triggered by Bitcoin treasury growth
