Phase 3 — Coming Soon. The mechanisms described on this page (CommitmentVault, LendingVault) are under development and have not yet been deployed to Mainnet.
IFR Ecosystem
The Self-Reinforcing Loop
1. The Loop
Every action in the IFR protocol reinforces the loop. Contributors lock, Builders borrow, Users buy — and every step creates buy pressure on Uniswap.

2. The 3 Principles
Principle 1: Tokens Prove Commitment
- Locked tokens = on-chain truth, no trust required
- Smart contract enforces it, community can verify
Principle 2: Locked Tokens Work
- Tokens that are locked and forgotten = wasted
- CommitmentVault + LendingVault make them productive
Principle 3: Every Action Creates Buy Pressure
- Builder borrows → must repay → buys on Uniswap
- Builder cannot repay → liquidation → buys on Uniswap
- User wants discount → buys IFR to lock
- Interest → deeper LP → stable price
3. All Stakeholders
Contributor
- 100M IFR locked
- ETH interest via Lending
- Tranches unlock with growth
Builder
- Borrow IFR for discount programs
- PartnerVault Rewards
- Customer retention through Lock
User
- Buy once + lock = lifetime access
- No subscription, no churn
Team
- LP Reserve Safe (3-of-5)
- Governance (48h Timelock)
- Progressive decentralization
4. Pricing Model
Phase 1–2 (now): Lock Model
User buys IFR, locks permanently, lifetime access.
At P0 = $0.0000002: 5,000 IFR cost $0.001
Phase 3+ (when price is right): Payment Model
Threshold: P0 × 2,500 ($0.0005)
User pays X IFR per month directly to Builder.
X = Price_in_USD / IFR_TWAP_Price
USD-Equivalent Lock
Builder says: “Lock IFR worth $10.”
Smart Contract: current price × locked amount ≥ $10 → access granted.
