# Liquidity Pools & PAXG

### FATExFi is only a liquidity provider for FATE, which technically, should not be assigned a value until it is converted into a dividend-paying security where members receive a share of the profit from the products/services owned by the DAO.

## Initial Liquidity Pools and Reward Allocations:

**As soon as there is sufficient capital to launch PAXG pools we will likely provide sufficient liquidity and incentives for members to bridge PAXG.**<br>

## Minimize LPs & Offer PAXG

Beyond the below LPs additional ones can be added by DAO vote.  BTC, ETH, MATIC paired with PAXG are archived. &#x20;

PAXG is one of the only regulated tokens that can literally be exchanged for the real asset it is backed by: gold.  Although there is PR/marketing appeal for being the only DEX to offer PAXG there is more to it (besides aligning conceptually with FxD, PAXG is not a component of FxD)\
\
PAXG is arguably a better pairing for liquidity pooling with FATE (or BTC/ETH) than a stable coin - it doesn't entirely negate the potential hazards of impertinent loss (IL), but it works better:

* Gold has a relatively stable, on average, increasing price and is used to hedge against volatile assets or downtrends. &#x20;
* If the token it's paired with rises in value you have a more valuable asset, but less of it. However, you have more PAXG, if the value of gold remains the same. &#x20;
* The tokenomics and fee structures of LP contributions/withdrawals of FATE/FATExFi are designed to have less supply available than demand for FATE.  Rewards of FATE increase gradually. &#x20;

FATE will not be paired with another token that wildly fluctuates in value.  <br>
