Synopsis:
This proposal outlines a strategic collaboration between K9 Finance and D-Cent, a Shibarium-native project, focused on integrating the $DND721 token into the K9 Bonecrusher staking platform. The core of the initiative is a “K9 Quest” campaign tied to D-Cent’s upcoming DND721 NFT series launch. Proceeds from NFT sales will fund a $4,000 buyback of $DND721 tokens, which will be supplied to Bonecrusher to create a new DND721/KNINE (or other, open to discussion) liquidity pool. This partnership aims to expand staking options for K9 holders, attract new users from the gaming community, other corners of defi, and increase activity on Shibarium while fostering mutual growth between the two ecosystems. The intent from D-Cent is NOT to request direct financial funding from K9 Finance DAO for this initiative, beyond potential matching liquidity for the pool.
(1) Introduction and Objective
This proposal outlines a mutually beneficial collaboration between K9 Finance and D-Cent, a 16-month-old Shibarium network project. We aim to explore opportunities to integrate the $DND721 token into the K9 Bonecrusher staking platform. Our shared goal is to strengthen the Shibarium ecosystem by increasing staking options, activity, and volume through strategic collaboration, not charity. K9 is the cornerstone of activity and value on the Shibarium chain, and we at D-Cent want to work together to try and do our part to provide the best opportunities to the community at large.
D-Cent and $DND721 Overview:
D-Cent is a passionate team of builders creating gamified crypto tools and experiences on the Shibarium network. Our flagship token, $DND721, is a multi-chain crypto currency, designed with actual utility, economic flow, and ecosystem integration. The focus of this proposal is purely the Shibarium Chain $DND721
CA: 0xdae302c20164cea21d2cfae0a5fac568ba33ef73
Token Utility Overview:
$DND721 is absolutely a microcap on Shibarium, but we have been building the last 16 months to create a dedicated community and ecosystem that can support long term gamification and revenue that directly benefits back into the token. It is a functioning part of an active gaming and content platform with an ongoing podcast attached to the project (where K9 ads are played at the beginning of episodes). The token serves three primary functions:
• $Bone Reflection Rewards: $DND721 holders automatically receive $Bone rewards through frictionless reflection mechanisms, this means no claiming or staking required when holding $DND721 to earn $Bone. These rewards are based on $DND721 trading volume.
• Exclusive Content Access: Through our Collabland Discord Integration, holders unlock bonus content that is otherwise only available to Patreon subscribers, including episodes from the DND721 Liveplay Podcast.
• In-Game Currency: $DND721 is used in our community-driven Dungeons & Dragons-inspired ecosystem to purchase in-game items, gear, and other perks. It is literally an “in-game currency”, think Robux or Vbucks from popular games like Roblox and Fortnite.
Tokenomics:
• 4% on any Swap:
• 1% To $DND721 Liquidity Pool (we are committed to strengthening this pool over time automatically)
• 1% to D-Cent team treasury for Marketing/Overhead (including initiatives exactly like this one)
• 2% $Bone sent automatically from the $DND721 smart contract to holders as frictionless rewards just for holding. (Based on Volume)
About the DND721 NFT Series:
It is first, and foremost, VERY important to me that the K9 community know that these are not “useless NFTs”, or just pieces of art.
Launching soon on Chewyswap, the DND721 NFT series is a carefully designed collectible and playable asset set, inspired by Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition. These are not vanity NFTs; they provide real function within our gaming platform for gaming community members to get involved in our community games. The NFTs are part of our gamification to blend theater of the mind entertainment and web3.
It is also worth noting that these community games are also recorded and provided as audio entertainment on multiple streaming sites.

(2) Benefits to K9 Finance Community
• Exposure: Continued K9 ad placement at the top of DND721 podcast episodes (with growing reach), expanding K9’s brand to a non-crypto native audience. Doing our part to bring audience and global liquidity into Defi, Shibarium, and K9, having a $DND721 staking pool on BoneCrusher just makes sense.
• New Audience: Cross-pollination with the tabletop gaming community, many of whom are new to crypto but highly engaged, potentially on-boarding them into Shibarium and K9 Finance.
• Increased Activity & TVL: Another active token and NFT project brought to Bonecrusher strengthens its position on Shibarium and drives transaction volume for LP staking.
• Community Growth: D-Cent is a hands-on, long-term team, bringing serious game content and a dedicated community, enhancing the vibrancy of the broader Shibarium ecosystem.
• Double Rewards for K9 Holders: K9 holders who accumulate $DND721 can “double dip” by earning $DND721 by staking, then earning $Bone reflections just by holding $DND721, and then able to further compound their rewards by staking more $Bone on Bonecrusher.
• Strategic Partnership: Demonstrates K9 Finance’s role as a key DeFi infrastructure provider on Shibarium, fostering collaborations with innovative projects. This collaboration and uplifting can not be stressed enough as something we need to see more of in Defi and especially Shibarium.
• In addition to all of the above, anyone who does choose to purchase and hold a DND721 NFT also earns experience through this quest initiative, resulting in additional experience and $KNINE airdrop rewards.
(3) Proposal Details
(a) WHAT
This proposal details a strategic collaboration to establish a $DND721/KNINE Liquidity Pool (LP) on the K9 Bonecrusher staking platform. The primary mechanism for funding this pool is through D-Cent’s “K9 Quest” NFT sales campaign:
• K9 Quest Campaign:
• Goal: Mint and sell a minimum of 363 DND721 NFTs (at ~$25 each) to generate $4,000 USD from the dedicated $11/mint marketing allocation.
• Funding Mechanism: The $11 per NFT from each mint will be allocated to D-Cent’s marketing wallet and used to buy back $DND721 tokens on the open market.
• Transparency: These buybacks will be transparent (announced and tracked publicly by D-Cent), incremental (to reduce price shock ((big green spikes)) reduce price impact, and discourage sudden holder dumps), and strategic (maximizing momentum and visibility).
• Pool Contribution: Once $4,000 in $DND721 value is acquired through these buybacks, it will be supplied to the K9 Management Council for the purpose of creating the Bonecrusher staking pool.
• Proposed Bonecrusher Pool:
• Pairing: A $DND721 / KNINE Liquidity Pool (LP) will be established on Bonecrusher. (Open to discussion and brainstorming if there is a proposed better pool within KNINE)
• K9 Finance’s Contribution to LP: D-Cent is seeking a discussion on whether K9 Finance DAO would provide matching liquidity (e.g., $4,000 worth of KNINE) to pair with D-Cent’s $4,000 worth of $DND721, creating an $8,000 total initial liquidity pool.
• We will work with the KNINE team to determine popularity and pool drainage from stakers and determine how to best supplement the pool based on business needs and popularity.
• Staking Rewards: Users who stake their $DND721/KNINE LP tokens on Bonecrusher will earn additional $DND721 as rewards.
• Reward Sourcing: D-Cent commits to contributing ongoing $DND721 rewards for this staking pool. This will be achieved through future NFT sales and ongoing volume on $DND721 through other D-Cent revenue streams.
• Open to discussion regarding what amount and in what increments might be needed to sustain said pool.
• K9 Quest Promotion: The “K9 Quest” would be created as an activity on K9’s quest platform for users to earn experience. D-Cent will promote this quest, and it is requested that K9 Finance also promotes this quest through its official channels for broader reach.
(b) WHO
• D-Cent Core Team: Responsible for the DND721 NFT launch, $DND721 buybacks, contributing $DND721 liquidity, and providing ongoing $DND721 rewards. Also responsible for co-marketing and engagement with the gaming community.
• K9 Finance DAO Community (KNINE Holders): Primary beneficiaries through potential increased KNINE utility, new staking opportunities, and expanded ecosystem reach. They are encouraged to participate in the “K9 Quest” (purchasing DND721 NFTs). Though we will be VERY CLEAR that no one is ever required to purchase anything they do not want to. This is simply a gamified way of helping bring another staking pool to Bone Crusher and rewarding participants who have read this proposal, our D-Cent WhitePaper, have DYOR and wish to buy and hold any D-Cent assets as part of their own personal portfolio activity.
• K9 Finance Management Council: Oversees the collaboration, approves the terms, and facilitates technical integration and co-promotion.
• K9 Finance Development Team: Responsible for the technical implementation of the $DND721 / KNINE LP pool on Bonecrusher. D-Cent will provide graphics, images, and data support and anything within our power to make this an easy lift for Knine developers. I, Mudd, am personally a member of the Subdao and Round Table, and support everything Knine is building, and am dedicated to this joint venture success.
• Chewyswap: Developer Jim is creating the Dapp for minting and updates to his Platform for DND721 NFTs to be hosted on his marketplace.
(c) WHERE
• DND721 NFT Launch & Marketplace: Chewyswap (Shibarium Network).
• $DND721 Token Trading & Buybacks: Chewyswap (Shibarium Network).
• Proposed Staking Pool: Bonecrusher (K9 Finance dApp, Shibarium Network).
• “K9 Quest” Promotion: K9 Finance dApp, K9 Finance official social media channels (X, Telegram, Discord), D-Cent official channels.
(d) WHEN
• DND721 NFT Launch: Dependent on Chewyswap development completion. D-Cent will notify K9 Finance DAO once a firm launch date is set. Jim has announced he is hard at work on a large upgrade to the Marketplace and we are hoping to time the completion of our minting page dapp and official launch along with his grand update.
• $4,000 DND721 Buyback: This will be an ongoing process, commencing upon the DND721 NFT launch, and continuing until the target is met. D-Cent does not have a fixed timeline but is committed to active promotion until said goals are met.
• Proposed Pool Launch: Once the $4,000 $DND721 (and potentially matching KNINE) is secured, the pool launch timeline is flexible and dependent on the K9 Finance Development Team’s bandwidth and schedule. D-Cent aims for the earliest possible launch and to support in every way, but does not have any hard set deadlines or expectations that may interfere with Knine’s existing business needs.
(e) HOW
• D-Cent’s Commitment:
1. Execute the DND721 NFT launch on Chewyswap.
2. Allocate $11/NFT mint to a marketing wallet for $DND721 buybacks.
3. Conduct transparent, incremental $DND721 buybacks on the open market (Chewyswap) until $4,000 value is accumulated.
4. Supply the $4,000 worth of $DND721 to the K9 Management Council for pool creation.
5. If K9 provides matching KNINE, D-Cent will confirm this is sufficient. If D-Cent needs to also accumulate the $4,000 in matching KNINE pairing, we will do so through these similar revenue strategies.
6. Commit to ongoing DND721 rewards for the staking pool (as clarified above).
7. Co-promote the “K9 Quest” and the new staking pool through D-Cent’s channels.
8. Provide necessary graphics, images, and data to the K9 team for technical and marketing integration.
9. Share $DND721 token smart contract details and collaborate on technical integration.
• K9 Finance DAO’s Requested Action:
1. Assess and approve the collaboration and the proposed $DND721 / KNINE LP.
2. Discuss the allocation of the $4,000 worth of KNINE from the DAO treasury for matching liquidity, if requested, or discuss further how D-Cent will also accumulate this $4,000 of $KNINE as well.
3. Utilize its development resources to create and deploy the $DND721 / KNINE LP staking pool on Bonecrusher. D-Cent does not currently have a development team capable of this action.
4. Promote the “K9 Quest” and the new staking pool through its official social media channels and potentially on the K9 dApp.
(4) Impact Assessment
Short-Term Impacts:
• Increased exposure for K9 Finance within the gaming and D&D communities that D-Cent continues to try and breach into.
• New activity on Bonecrusher, additional reward options, compounded rewards, increased network activity as users participate in the “K9 Quest” (buying NFTs) and anticipate the new staking pool.
• Potential short-term volatility for $DND721 during buybacks due to its microcap nature.
• Allocation of K9 Finance development resources for pool creation.
Long-Term Impacts:
• Diversification of staking options on Bonecrusher, attracting a new segment of users.
• Enhanced utility for KNINE by pairing it with an active utility token.
• Increased overall TVL and transaction volume on Shibarium as D-Cent’s ecosystem grows.
• Strengthened reputation for K9 Finance as a collaborative and innovative DeFi hub on Shibarium.
• Potential for sustainable rewards for K9 holders through $DND721 staking, complemented by $Bone reflections.
Metrics for Success:
• “K9 Quest” Engagement: Number of K9 community members participating in the NFT purchase quest.
• DND721 Buyback Completion: Successful accumulation and delivery of $4,000 worth of $DND721 to the K9 Management Council.
• Staking Pool Launch: Successful deployment of the $DND721 / KNINE LP pool on Bonecrusher.
• TVL in New Pool: Total Value Locked in the DND721 / KNINE pool established and supplemented over time.
• Staking Participation: Number of unique stakers in the DND721 / KNINE pool.
• DND721 Volume: Increase in $DND721 trading volume on Shibarium and Chewyswap post-pool launch.
• Mutual Marketing Reach: Quantifiable growth in social media impressions/engagement for co-promotional efforts from both K9 and D-Cent.
Conclusion
We are not asking K9 for funding in terms of a grant, but we are offering an opportunity to grow together. By helping to bring a utility-driven, community-based, gamified token and NFT project to Bonecrusher, K9 strengthens its own ecosystem and expands its reach into the gaming world. We believe that despite being a microcap, and bootstrap/grassroot based project $DND721 has long-term value, commitment and utility and is only held back by it’s own humble funding. These values become stronger when backed by partnerships like this one and provides more created value to the entire Shibarium community.
Thank you for reading this (very long) proposal, we hope you enjoy the art as well.
