Token Activity

    $PSP is the governance token of Paraswap. There are total of 150M $PSP airdropped to around 20k early users; which is 7.5% out of 2B total token supply of $PSP. At present, there are two cases of $PSP token which are: 1. Governance: PSP holders have governance rights over the ParaSwap protocol through the ParaSwap DAO. 2. Staking: Users can stake their $PSP tokens and receive an auto-compounding annual percentage yield (APY).

    $PSP was first introduced as an airdrop to its most active users. Many users getting a very nice 5-figures USD worth of airdrop. Same as many other expensive airdrop, many of the receivers will immediately dump the free token for quick profit which is why we've seen a lot of $PSP sold/swapped for other tokens. In November of 2021 alone, over 100M $PSP was swapped. This exceeds the total $PSP claimed in that month, meaning many claimers or other users bought $PSP on the market for short-term price action appreciation.

    Other than for token trading, $PSP also can be staked to receive a yield percentage. Graph below shows the monthly amount of $PSP staked on Paraswap.

    There's also plenty of buying transactions for $PSP tokens especially in November with over 180M token bought. Most of the transaction occurs on Uniswap-V2.

    In conclusion, other that for short term token trading, users can also use $PSP to stake and also vote on proposal proposed on Paraswap DAO. And similar to other airdropped tokens, a large portion of $PSP was dumped immediately after claimed.
