BBANK to FID Token Swap: A Strategic Leap for Fideum

Today, we at Fideum are excited to announce a significant development in our journey: the transition from BBANK to FI tokens. This token swap is a key part of our strategy to enhance our platform’s capabilities and align with our vision of serving a growing global user base.

Overview of the Token Swap

The primary aim of this swap is to transition from the circulating 400 million BBANK tokens to 4 billion FI tokens. This increase in the number of tokens is designed to cater to the expanding needs of Fideum Group, allowing us to accommodate millions of users. Importantly, we ensure that the total percentage ownership for existing token holders remains unchanged, offering a straightforward 10:1 swap without introducing new tokens or diluting current holdings.

Addressing Key Issues with the Swap With the BBANK to FI token swap, we’re not just changing names; we’re addressing several critical issues to improve our platform:

  • Enhanced Trading Transparency: Transitioning trading operations to decentralized exchanges addresses OTC trading concerns, fostering a more transparent and trustworthy environment.
  • Fresh Trading Chart: The reset of BBANK’s trading history, aligning with our new brand Fideum, brings a fresh start and renewed confidence among our investors.
  • Arbitrage Solution: By addressing withdrawal policy limitations on platforms like Gate.io, we’re enhancing the trading experience, making it more seamless and efficient for our users.
  • Unified Brand Identity: This swap is a part of our broader initiative to streamline our brand, eliminating the ‘Bank’ component to simplify our market presence under the single identity of Fideum.

Token Distribution and Listing Strategy

FI will launch as a multi-chain asset on both the Ethereum (ERC) and BNB (BEP) networks, emphasizing our dedication to accessibility and versatility. Initially, FI will be listed on decentralized exchanges at the same fully diluted market cap as BBANK. Our strategy includes plans for listing on Tier 1 exchanges after building sufficient operational capital.

Swap Mechanics for a Smooth Transition

Post-announcement, we’re providing users a 48-hour window to complete withdrawals. Following this, there will be a 48-hour pause to facilitate the swap. Users can choose to manage conversions within our app for convenience or use a smart contract provided by Fideum for swaps at the set ratios. This smart contract also functions as a bridge between BSC and ETH/ARB. For those with BBANK tokens staked in the app, these will automatically convert to FI tokens, with all staking terms remaining intact.

Swap Ratios and Timeline In the first month following the swap, each BBANK token can be exchanged for 10 FI tokens. From the second to the sixth month, the ratio changes to 1 BBANK token for 6 FI tokens. After six months, the swap functionality will be disabled.

This token swap is a crucial step in aligning Fideum’s infrastructure with our future goals and commitment to our community. It ensures that as we grow and evolve, the interests and trust of our users remain our top priority.

What’s Next for Fideum Following the Token Swap?

After the BBANK to FI token swap on December 18th, Fideum is gearing up for significant advancements in the fintech space. The completion of our rebranding process in the near future, marks the start of a new chapter for Fideum, uniting our services and community under one identity. We’re excited to deepen our relationships with clients and partners, growing not just in scale but also in the impact and depth of our collaborations.
