Skins Protocol: The Trading Layer of Gaming

1. Type:

Company-dependent

2. Abstract:

This proposal is to incubate Skins Protocol, a GameFai infrastructure project enabling gamers and investors to trade, co-invest, borrow, and lend gaming assets through tokenization and AI tools. Backed by a €2.2M EU grant, it introduces an open financial layer for gaming, starting with CS2’s $8B skins market. Key features include an on-chain P2P marketplace, AI trading agents, fractional ownership, and a gaming-backed stablecoin. $XED will be the Governance token for the protocol, and $SKINS will be the utility token. The DAO will receive 10% of the new token allocation.

3. Rationale:

First DAO Proposal: Skins Protocol Incubation

SKins Protocol is the GameFai infrastructure that allows gamers and investors to trade, co-invest, borrow, and lend using a full suite of Agents who can speed up and improve their decisions. The project was in Research and Development for over 1.5 years, and its development was partially funded through a €2.2M EU grant. By leveraging its tokenization protocol and AI tooling, we're building the first DeFai ecosystem for gaming items, starting by tokenizing the LARGEST gaming secondary market: the CS2's $8B Skins market.

Key Features

• Onchain P2P Marketplace – A decentralized exchange powered by smart contracts for in-game skins.
• AI-Powered Trading Agents – Automated investment and market analytics for skins trading.
• Fractional Ownership & Investment Funds – Facilitating shared ownership of high-value gaming assets.
• SkinStable & Lending: – A stablecoin backed by gaming assets, enabling collateralized loans.
• DAO Governance – A decentralized decision-making system ensuring fair evolution of the protocol.

Token Roles

$XED (Governance Token)

• Purpose: Serves as the governance token of Skins Protocol.
• Utility: Allows Exeedme DAO members to propose and vote on strategic decisions regarding the Skins Protocol.
• Governance Role: Grants voting rights over platform upgrades, economic policies, treasury allocation, and incentive structures.

$SKINS (Utility Token)

• Purpose: works as the primary transactional token within the Skins Protocol.
• Utility:
  • Provides fee reductions for staking holders.
  • Incentivizes P2P trading, lending, and fractional investments.
  • Payment for using Trading Agents
  • It can serve as small collateral for lending mechanisms of the protocol.
• Exeedme DAO:
  • Token Allocation – 10% of $SKINS supply will be allocated to the DAO’s multi-signature treasury wallet.
  • Rewards and Incentives – Any rewards or incentives for Exeedme DAO participants and Stakers using these tokens must be proposed and approved separately via new governance proposals but the Company intends to create a proposal to convert $XED Staking Points into $SKINS.
  • Strategy Post-Incubation – The plan for using the 10% allocation (e.g., staking, staking rewards, liquidity, reserves) will be developed and voted on after the Skins Protocol incubation is approved.

5. Steps to Implement:

• Tokenomics – Define and lock in final distribution, tokenomics, and vesting terms through structured DAO discussions and private investor negotiations.
• Private Fundraise - Close discussions with private investors, we will define final distribution, tokenomics, and vesting terms.
• Obtain Legal Clearance – Secure legal framework approvals to ensure compliance with token issuance and regulatory requirements for launching $SKINS.
• Launch Awareness & Community Growth Campaigns – Execute a marketing and adoption strategy to drive early user participation and liquidity inflow.
• Deploy Onchain P2P Marketplace – Release the first functional version of the Skins trading platform for early adopters and testers.

6. Initial Timeline:

The timeline of the incubation will follow the project’s roadmap and is subject to its execution and also to operational and legal requirements of the company itself. Regardless, the Roadmap below should serve as a barometer of its evolution. In terms of the timeline for this proposal there will be 7 days for discussion and 7 days for voting.
