😀About Ago
What is Ago?
Ago is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that aims to modernize traditional finance by bringing together institutional and cryptocurrency services within a single application.
About the team
With more than 15 years of combined experience at financial institutions across the banking, investment funds, and wealth management sectors, we're passionate about the future of finance. That's why we've created one of the first crypto-banks and real estate tokenization platforms.
Our objectives
To create a DeFi platform that belongs to its users.
Utilize blockchain technology to develop solutions that eliminate intermediaries.
Obtain total transparency of financial transactions with maximum security.
Leverage DeFi to create an ecosystem that places users at the center of everything we do.
Redistribute revenues between Ago and our users fairly and equitably.
The Ago ecosystem
1. The team
The Ago team draws on the strengths and experience of passionate individuals who've worked for leading financial institutions. Our expertise spans various sectors including blockchain, banking, finance, insurance, programming, tax, and asset management, to name a few.
Over the past few years, we've developed several trading platforms in real estate and DeFi, which are successfully operational today.
Ago’s strength and competitive advantage lie in our ability to independently develop and manage various blockchain projects. This rare collective set of skills sets us apart from the competition in the growing DeFi space.
2. Security
Security is a top priority at Ago. All our smart contracts have undergone rigorous audits by blockchain security experts (Safetin), ensuring the protection of users' assets.
3. Services
Ago offers a range of diversified services, including a 3.0 trading platform, a social trading system, and a decentralized exchange (DEX). Additionally, our on-ramp/off-ramp system allows easy conversion between cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies, offering users maximum flexibility when transacting.
4. Community: Governance and rewards
The Ago community is at the heart of our ecosystem. Users are considered partners. Through the AGO governance token, users have a direct say in development decisions. 80% of the profits generated by the platform are distributed to AGO token holders, reinforcing our commitment to mutually beneficial growth.
5. Affiliate system
Users can grow their Ago network by inviting new users through their unique affiliate link. Whenever an affiliated user performs a transaction on the Ago platform that generates a profit, the user will receive a commission equivalent to 51% of those profits.
6. Non-custodial platform
Ago offers a 3.0 ecosystem, which combines traditional financial solutions and the functionalities of blockchain technology within a single application.
Users further have the freedom to utilize the crypto wallet of their choice.
The platform was created to simplify users’ lives by bringing together the best crypto and DeFi products and services in a single decentralized platform. The platform was developed according to the needs of the Ago community. (Learn more about our Decentralized Autonomous Organization later).
As a non-custodial platform, Ago does not hold users' funds but simply opens the door to a range of services, ensuring the security of their assets. By keeping funds in their crypto wallet, users avoid complications associated with third-party custody. The platform is built using blockchain technology, which offers transparency, security, immutability, traceability, and decentralization.
Users have access to the main products and protocols related to DeFi, as well as the competitive returns they offer (e.g. staking and liquidity pools).
7. Roadmap
Ago's future is outlined in an ambitious roadmap that focuses on accessibility and innovation. While DeFi is highly beneficial, a lack of knowledge of DeFi is a major obstacle when it comes to mass adoption. That's why each new feature we develop aims to make DeFi more accessible to beginners while meeting the needs of experienced users. To this end, Ago plans to launch an Ago VISA card, a dedicated crypto wallet, iOS and Android apps, a gamified rewards program, and a launchpad for new DeFi projects. These initiatives demonstrate our commitment to a more inclusive and innovative financial future.
