Flowdesk acts as a reference party that helps with engineering liquidity provision and listing of CNTs, assisting in:

1- Exchange Listing Fee Pool: Up to 1,500,000 USD (3m ADA at a reference price of 0.5 USD / ADA).

Notes:

• Top-tier exchanges might ask a listing fee > 500,000 USD. An indicative quote from one top-tier exchange would be around 1m USD of token allocation.
• Not more than 500k USD (1m ADA) will be allocated for 1 CNT / Exchange.
• Flowdesk acts as an actor of good faith to validate the budget allocated to a Cardano project for a listing.
• Flowdesk does NOT receive any funds from the Intersect budget during this process (including no transaction fee, commission fee, etc.).
• Flow for a Cardano project to request funds to get listed on an exchange:

=> 1 Cardano project with a CNT

=> Project agrees with the exchange on a listing offer

=> Flowdesk Exchange Listing Criteria Assessment

=> Decision

=> If successful, exchange directly receives funding from Intersect for listing the CNT

=> CNT is listed on the exchange.

2- Market Making Fee Pool: 63,000 USD (126,000 ADA at a reference price of 0.5 USD / ADA).

Notes:

• Intersect > Cardano Project > pays Flowdesk monthly retainer for MMAAS business.

• Flowdesk does NOT receive any funds from the Intersect budget during this process (including no transaction fee, commission, etc.).

• Flow for a Cardano project to request funds for MMAAS with Flowdesk:

=> Cardano projects => Project agrees with Flowdesk on a MMAAS offering

=> Cardano project receives funding from Intersect

=> Flowdesk launches the MMAAS service.

Proposal Overview

This proposal aims to address two core issues within the Cardano ecosystem:

• Problem 1: No Cardano project currently has a top-tier market maker, with the exception of Snek and Iagon.
• Problem 2: No Cardano Native Token (CNT) is listed on top-tier exchanges such as Binance, Bybit, Okex, and Coinbase.

Objective

We, at Flowdesk, are committed to solving these problems. Our goal is to act as a trustworthy partner in assisting Cardano Web 3.0 projects by providing essential services such as Market Making as-a-Service (MMAAS) and helping with exchange listings. Through these efforts, we aim to enhance the overall liquidity and market presence of Cardano projects.

Beneficiaries would be the:

• Issuer of CNTs, Cardano Web 3.0 projects helping with the growth of their token (from TGE to DEX liquidity seeding to CEX listings)
• Retail Cardano traders and investors benefiting from institution-grade liquidity when transacting on DEX and CEX

Example of success:

• Snek market making started on November 10th with SNEK/USDT price at 0.0017. Flowdesk managed to successfully provide liquidity in ultra-volatile conditions with the token surging by more than 5x and ensuring that CEX liquidity is at minimum $20k within +/- 2% and ensuring that DeFi protocols pools are arbitrage-free.

MMAAS:

• 3 CNT’s experiencing deeper liquidity on CEX (minimum 5k$ +/- 2%) and arbitrage free swaps on DEX
• Sign 3 Cardano projects with a template of 7k$/month retainer for MM service

Listing:

• Extra CNT listing on top tier exchanges (see in section below how this cost can be broken down)

MMAAS costs:

• 7,000 USD per month for a project (14kADA)
• 3 months / 3 projects = 7k$ * 3 * 3 = 63k$ (126kADA)

3 Exchange Listings:

• Example of how this is broken down:

  • First example:

    A. 2 project on a tier 1 exchange - 500,000 USD * 2 = 1m USD (2m ADA)

    B. 2 projects on a tier 2 exchange - 250,000USD * 2 = 500,000 USD (1m ADA)

  • Second example:

    Listing on Bybit of 1 CNT = 500k$ (1mADA)

    Listing on Okex of 1 CNT = 500k$ (1mADA)

    Listing on Binance of 1 CNT = 500k$ (1mADA)

Flowdesk:

• 1 BD / 1 Director / 1 Trader
• Duration: until Dec 31st 2025

Partnerships already signed with major partners in the Cardano ecosystem:

No technical maintenance.

It supports the product roadmap:

• The aim is to add incoming liquidity to the Cardano ecosystem.
• The product roadmap focuses on: BoS and Babel fees.
• A third, more pressing item is how to interact with centralized exchanges (both current ones listing CNTs and top-tier exchanges) and Cardano projects to assist with:

1. Listing.
2. Market making for liquidity provision.
3. Increasing the organic volume of CNT tokens.
