🔥Horizon Whitepaper
Introduction
Horizon is a decentralized lending and yield platform. It is designed to combine sustainable incentives with deflationary tokenomics, aligning users with long term protocol growth.
$HORIZON is a revenue sharing, governance and reward token that is earned by lending, borrowing or farming on the platform. $HORIZON supply is consistently and permanently reduced through burns.
Key Features
Earn – Put your assets to work by lending them to borrowers to earn interest.
Borrow – Unlock liquidity using assets your bullish on as collateral while keeping market exposure.
Multiply – One-click leverage via recursive lending and borrowing.
Revenue Sharing – Protocol revenue funds the buy and burn, boosting staking payouts, reducing supply, and driving hyper-deflation.
Pay with Collateral – Repay loans automatically by selling a portion of your collateral.
Earn
Earn is where your assets generate yield. Deposit tokens into vaults and they’re distributed across isolated lending markets. These markets earn interest from borrowers while keeping risks separated.
How it works:
Deposit supported tokens.
Distribute automatically into lending markets.
Earn borrower interest + Horizon Rewards.
Key benefits:
Isolated risk for safer yields.
Real yield from borrowing activity.
Extra Horizon rewards to boost APY.
With Earn, your capital powers the ecosystem, supports TitanX projects and the hyper-deflationary economy.
Borrow
Borrow lets you unlock liquidity without selling your assets. Deposit collateral into an isolated lending market and borrow supported tokens instantly.
How it works:
Deposit collateral (e.g., ETH, TitanX, or other supported assets).
Borrow against your collateral at safe, overcollateralized ratios.
Repay at any time or even use your collateral to repay directly.
Key benefits:
Isolated markets for controlled risk.
Access liquidity without selling your holdings.
Keep market exposure to assets you’re bullish on.
Earn Horizon rewards based on your total borrow position value.
With Borrow, you can access capital, compound positions, and keep your core assets working.
Multiply
Multiply is for taking a bullish position to the next level. Using recursive borrowing, you can deposit collateral, borrow against it, re-buy the same asset, and repeat, compounding exposure without adding new capital.
How it works:
Deposit collateral into a lending market.
Set your desired multiplier using the slider.
Confirm the protocol handles the looping automatically.
Key benefits:
One-Click Leverage – No manual looping needed.
Stay Invested – Boost exposure without selling your holdings.
Protocol Rewards – Earn Horizon on your total leveraged position.
With Multiply, leverage becomes effortless, letting you act on conviction instantly.
Universal Buy & Burn
The Universal Buy & Burn is Horizon’s deflationary engine. It accepts any token, inside or outside the TitanX ecosystem and intelligently routes them through optimized swap paths to maximize impact.
How it works:
Inside Capital – Interest spreads from lending markets are routed to buy and burn Horizon without selling down collateral markets, preserving price stability.
Outside Capital – External inflows are used to buy up TitanX, strengthening vertically stacked liquidity across the ecosystem.
Intelligent Routing – Custom swap paths ensure minimal slippage and maximum burn efficiency.
Key benefits:
Ecosystem-Wide Liquidity Boost – Outside buys deepen TitanX liquidity, benefiting every connected protocol.
Sustainable Deflation – Continuous Horizon burns reduce supply while rewarding those who lock Horizon for protocol revenue.
Capital Preservation – Internal buy and burn flows avoid harming the underlying asset markets.
Revenue Flow:
50% → Permanently burned, removing $Horizon from circulation.
50% → Distributed to $Horizon stakers as $Horizon payouts.
Example – Ethereum Earn Vault
A user deposits ETH into the Ethereum Vault.
Borrowers pay interest in ETH, which flows back to depositors as native ETH yield.
At the same time, the Universal Buy & Burn uses the performance fee.
ETH inflows are split evenly: 50% is used to buy and permanently burn $HORIZON, while 50% is used to buy $HORIZON and distribute it to stakers.
Depositors also accumulate Horizon Rewards.
The Universal Buy & Burn turns every unit of protocol activity, whether from swaps, lending, borrowing, or multiplying, into upward pressure on TitanX and deflationary strength for Horizon, rewarding committed participants and reinforcing the TitanX ecosystem.
Token Architecture
HORIZON
Horizon’s revenue sharing, governance and reward token.
Earned by users via lending, borrowing or farming on the platform.
Protocol revenue (lending fees, LP farm fees) is routed into direct buy & burns of $HORIZON.
This design creates a constant deflationary effect, ensuring $HORIZON grows scarcer as Horizon usage scales.
Horizon Token Allocation
Horizon has a fixed supply of 100,000,000 $HORIZON tokens.
Core Allocations
Epoch Rewards: 60% → 60,000,000 Distributed over epochs. Main incentive engine.
Liquidity & Market Making: 10% → 10,000,000 For CEX/DEX liquidity, LP bootstrapping, and listing incentives.
Protocol Growth & Partnerships: 10% → 10,000,000 Funded initially, plus grows later via forfeited vests.
Treasury Reserve: 10% → 10,000,000 For unforeseen expenses, security audits, ecosystem support.
Team & Core Contributors: 10% → 10,000,000 Vested over 3–4 years, ensuring long-term alignment.
