Attempt #2

Initially this proposal was positively welcomed by the Bancor community and the voting ended with 100% votes in favour to whitelist $OPIUM.

Unfortunately the quorum was not reached with as little as 1.97% missing for proposal to be accepted.

Also Opium.Team created a proposal 1 to incentivise vBNT holders for voting on this proposal with new serial NFT from Opium NFT Collection. Every voter is to be rewarded regardless of their vote.

Token Security

The Opium team is public and it is presented on the Opium Protocol website. OPIUM does not have an elastic supply, or rebase mechanism. The OPIUM contracts do not have permissions that grant administrators unrestricted mint/burn capabilities. Fully based on OpenZeppelin implementation of ERC20. The OPIUM token supply is fixed at 100,000,000, of which 6,546,977 are in current circulation. The contracts and addresses with the highest concentration of OPIUM tokens are predominantly the Opium Active Users fund, Investors, advisors and Opium Team token vesting contract and Governance Reserve Fund.

Project

Opium is a universal and robust protocol that allows for creating, settling, and trading decentralized derivatives on Ethereum. Opium allows combining an oracle with a financial instrument. Every position is represented by a token that can be traded, sent or stored in cold wallets. Opium Exchange, built on Opium Protocol, is an open trading platform for virtually all synthetic derivatives. Swap Rate is a platform built on Opium Protocol where you can hedge against or speculate on the interest rate fluctuations in DeFi lending and borrowing. Anyone can create synthetic derivatives on Opium Exchange via the listing form or build on Opium Protocol - it's open-source! The latest product built on opium Protocol is Opium Insurance---a user-friendly solution for buying and selling risk protection (such as smart contract exploits, credit default events, stablecoin custodian insolvency, impermanent loss, price volatility, SAFT risk and, off-chain risks).

Tokenomics

The Opium Protocol requires active and decentralized governance of certain parameters to evolve the protocol for the benefit of the community. This, in turn, results in the creation of relevant decentralized derivative contracts with sufficient liquidity --- which attracts more users to the Opium ecosystem. The governance model is based on a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). $OPIUM token holders interact with the DAO by proposing and casting votes on governance proposals, which influence the Opium Protocol and the behavior of its stakeholders. More on tokenomics here.

Community and Communication

Opium is active on Telegram, Discord and WeChat. The Opium Team also operates official Twitter and YouTube accounts. Activity on GitHub is frequent. The team and advisors are presented on the Opium Protocol website. Andrey Belyakov, the founder and CEO of Opium is the project's main spokesperson.
