Non-inflationary Farming
Deployed tokens on Opals are able to set a swap fee that is built into marketplace. If set, once everyone swaps tokens, fees from the swaps will go to the projects rewards distributor. This token distributor is responsible for accumulating all of the reward fees and then everyone with the Patron Cards are able to claim those rewards. Because they are NFTs we don't have to do snapshots, and anyone who has the card can claim at their own discression, while anyone who doesn't want to claim can accumulate and claim when they need to. For non Patron Card holders, there is still an opportunity to claim, by converting ETH into LP tokens and crystalizing them as veLP NFTs called Opal Cards. Our Liquidity Zap contracts do this automatically, locking for as little as 1 day, with longer lock periods earning more rewards. Opal Cards can be sold on the secondary market without needing to be unlocked. This is a novel way to do reward Patron and Opal Card holders for the lifetime of the project and it doesn't involve diluting the token supply by inflation.
