Arbitrum's optimistic rollup technology ensures a stable and secure savings and yield generation environment.\n\nPromoting Financial Inclusion: Bitsave's commitment to financial inclusion makes it an ideal gateway for Web2 users to explore Web3. By offering a user-friendly savings experience with stablecoins, Bitsave attracts users wary of volatile cryptocurrencies, driving the adoption of Arbitrum and DeFi applications within its network.\n\nSupporting Arbitrum Developers: As a growing protocol. An example of this is what happened when we were trying to deploy our contracts on Arbitrum, there were contract debugging issues we had that weren't addressed on the Arbitrum Docs, right now, our developers are teaching other Arbitrum Stylus devs how to get past this challenge, further enhancing the overall developer community within Arbitrum. \n\nStrengthening Arbitrum\u2019s Foundation: Bitsave provides a stable and secure savings solution, bolstering Arbitrum\u2019s foundational infrastructure. By focusing on user experience, security, and community engagement, Bitsave improves Arbitrum\u2019s reputation, attracting more developers and users to the network who would want to build similar SaveFi projects, knowing that almost everything is open source in web3, devs would definitely want to pursue the SaveFi trend, and Bitsave would be the standard for that.\n\nCreating New Use Cases for Stablecoins: Bitsave\u2019s savings model enables users to earn interest on their  stablecoin savings like DAI, USDT, and USDC. This creates new use cases for stablecoins within Arbitrum, potentially increasing their adoption and further stabilizing the network.\n\nIncentivizing Liquidity Providers: Bitsave enhances Arbitrum\u2019s foundational infrastructure by providing a reliable savings solution, drawing in new Web2 users, supporting developers, creating stablecoin use cases, incentivizing liquidity providers, and contributing to the overall growth and adoption of the Arbitrum ecosystem.", "hidden": true, "question": "Describe your previous work or plans related to the Arbitrum ecosystem.

Users typically save in a Stable coins, DAI, USDT or USDC\n\n[![AF7v-Gr-N-Imgur.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/KvGCG2Lx/AF7v-Gr-N-Imgur.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/V5hKg2DV)\n\n2. Users can create a savings plan and make unlimited deposits to their savings plan, e.g., \"Rent, School fees, Vacation\" etc, and they earn rewards in the protocol tokens $BTS, typically the native token of the Bitsave Protocol.\n\n[![fy-PBgl-B-Imgur.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/FszjGxtb/fy-PBgl-B-Imgur.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/mtxzgCgh)\n\n3. Users can create a savings plan in 3 simple steps, and set different parameters for their savings plan;\n\n- Name your savings plan\n- Set the duration for your savings, using the calendar\n- Set a penalty fee if you forfeit your savings\n\n[![image.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/zGnSRGZ4/image.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/3kxDs7wZ)\n\n[![n-ROUm-OO-Imgur.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/TP2GW0Hm/n-ROUm-OO-Imgur.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/VJh2xqwL)\n\n[![image-1.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/cCR5hyvJ/image-1.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/zHfjDQSm)\n\n[![4-J1l-BRY-Imgur.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/MHV88QN9/4-J1l-BRY-Imgur.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/4Hf06mJc)\n\n***A Side Note \ud83d\uddd2\ufe0f***\n\nBitsave isn't just another product, it's a new value chain. The web3 space is used to DeFi which are investment protocols, and now we're introducing them to SaveFi which are savings protocols that prioritize the stability of user savings over earning from crypto volatility.\n\nWHAT HAPPENS IN THE BITSAVE PROTOCOL\n\n1. Users Create a Savings plan and deposit in a Stable Coin.\n\n- Users aren't depositing into a pool like DeFi protocols that a hacker could access.\n\n- When a user is creating a savings plan, they're giving parameters for a child contract to be created under the Bitsave Protocol Parent contract which holds their funds and is only accessible by their wallet.\n\nThis makes it such that every user's savings deposit is tied to their wallet so that in case of an exploit, the hacker wouldn't have access to user funds, except they have access to user's private keys.\n\n1. Users' Interests\n- Interests are calculated using several variables and constants in the algorithm;\n-Simple interest formula\n-Bitsave Rate formula.\n-Bitsave has a buy-back mechanism that buys\n\n2. Users' Savings Plans and Fees\nUsers are charged a 1-time savings fee on savings plan creation (child contract), every fee is split in a 50:50 ratio, where 1 part goes to a buy-back wallet to buy back the protocol native tokens from any AMM or Dex in the native chain's ecosystem.\n\nCONCLUSION\nBitsave isn't just another product, it's a new value chain, The web 3 space is used to DeFi, and now we're introducing them to SaveFi.\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "CryptoSmartNow", "projectTwitter": "cryptosmartnow"}, "recipient": "0x72578e136E72A18A832be6762230a820f514d180"}}
