UNUS SED LEO (LEO) is a utility token of the iFinex ecosystem, developed and launched in 2019 to optimize trading processes on the renowned cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex. The asset's name translates from Latin as "One, but a lion," emphasizing its unique status. The token provides holders with substantial discounts on trading commissions, deposit and withdrawal fees, as well as privileges when using other company products.

The main technical feature of LEO is a strict monthly burn mechanism (buyback and burn). The parent company iFinex uses at least 27% of its consolidated revenue to repurchase tokens on the open market followed by their destruction, ensuring continuous reduction of the asset's market supply.

FAQ

  • UNUS SED LEO is an internal utility token of the iFinex ecosystem, created in May 2019. It was developed specifically for users and traders of the Bitfinex cryptocurrency exchange and other company platforms, providing them with various discounts, bonuses, and privileges for trading and financial operations.

  • LEO token owners receive discounts of up to 25% on trading commissions (for both makers and takers), as well as reduced fees for deposits and withdrawals. Additionally, holding LEO in your balance provides discounts on margin trading services, crypto lending, and derivative products within the iFinex ecosystem.

  • The token implements a transparent "Buyback & Burn" mechanism. Monthly, the parent company iFinex directs at least 27% of its consolidated gross revenue to repurchase LEO tokens on the open market at the current rate. All repurchased tokens are permanently destroyed (burned), which gradually reduces their total supply and maintains the deflationary model.

  • The LEO token does not have its own independent blockchain. It was originally issued in a multi-chain format: the majority of the emission operates on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 standard token, while the rest is deployed on the EOS network. This allows users to easily transfer and store the asset in familiar crypto wallets.

  • The token name is a Latin phrase "Unus sed leo," which translates to "One, but a lion." This expression is taken from Aesop's fable and symbolizes quality, strength, and uniqueness. The company chose this name to emphasize the platform's authority, business resilience, and community cohesion around the Bitfinex ecosystem.
