🔵Partnerships and Collaboration

Obscurium is not just a standalone product – it’s an evolving ecosystem that can benefit from integration and collaboration with other projects. This section outlines our partner listing strategy and the benefits for projects and platforms that work with Obscurium.

Supporting Partner Tokens in Obscurium: One form of partnership is to list or support other projects’ tokens within the Obscurium platform. For example, enabling Obscurium Trade or Transfer for a partner’s token means that users of that token can privately swap or move it across chains. Our strategy for adding new tokens is selective and security-focused:

• We prioritize tokens that have sufficient liquidity and community interest. A partner project with an active user base can greatly benefit from privacy features, and in turn, bring volume to Obscurium.

• Before listing, the team ensures that any technical hurdles are addressed (e.g., if a token has special transfer rules or fees, the contracts are adapted accordingly).

• Partners may go through a vetting process to ensure they align with Obscurium’s values (no scam or malicious tokens, etc.). The goal is to maintain user trust – we don’t want to support a token that could compromise user funds.

Benefits for Partner Projects:

• Privacy Utility for Users: By having their token supported on Obscurium, a project can immediately offer privacy features to its community. This is a differentiator – holders of that token can move and trade it without surveillance, which may attract new users who value privacy.

• Increased Volume and Liquidity: Privacy can unlock additional trading volume. Some large holders avoid making moves with their tokens because they fear market front-running or revealing their positions. With Obscurium, they can act more freely, which can translate to more on-chain activity for that token.

• Co-Marketing Opportunities: Obscurium is happy to spotlight partners. When a new token is added, we’ll announce it across our channels, effectively promoting the partner project to privacy-conscious users. Likewise, the partner can tout that they’ve integrated cutting-edge privacy for their community. This cross-pollination helps both communities grow.

• Technical Collaboration: In some cases, a partner project might have its own chain or platform. We can collaborate to integrate Obscurium’s privacy tech at a deeper level. For instance, if a project runs a DeFi protocol, Obscurium could work with them to enable a “privacy mode” in their app powered by Obscurium under the hood. This kind of integration can be a strong partnership selling point.

Exchange and Platform Listings for OBSC: Another aspect is listing the OBSC token itself on exchanges and platforms:

• Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs): OBSC is already tradable on Uniswap (Ethereum) from day one. We will encourage adding liquidity on other popular DEXs across chains as bridges open (for example, if OBSC is bridged to BSC or Polygon, a PancakeSwap or QuickSwap listing would follow).

• Centralized Exchanges (CEXs): To reach a broader audience, the team will pursue listings on reputable centralized exchanges. This typically requires meeting certain criteria (volume, security audits, compliance). While we cannot promise specific exchange listings here, it is part of the roadmap to get OBSC listed on at least one or two major exchanges when the time is right. Each listing exposes OBSC to new investors and lends credibility.

• Portfolio Trackers and Data Aggregators: We actively work to get OBSC integrated into services like CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, DeFi Llama, and wallet portfolio trackers. These are not “partnerships” per se, but they are important listings so that users can easily find information about OBSC and see their holdings.

Institutional Partnerships: Obscurium’s vision includes serving institutional players. That means we explore partnerships with:

• Custodians and Funds: A crypto fund or OTC desk could use Obscurium to move assets without revealing their strategies. We might offer bespoke support or interfaces for such partners (for example, higher limits or custom integration into their systems). In return, their usage adds significant volume and real-world validation of Obscurium’s utility.

• Blockchain Networks: We aim to partner with emerging L1 or L2 chains that want privacy solutions. By integrating Obscurium as a service on their chain (akin to how some chains have built-in mixers or use third-party ones), we help that chain’s ecosystem and expand our reach. This might involve grants or technical collaboration from those foundations.

• Compliance-Friendly Privacy: For institutional adoption, there may be concerns around compliance. We are open to partnerships that explore opt-in compliance features – for example, a scenario where an institution using Obscurium can obtain a proof of innocence or compliance report without violating privacy for others. This could be achieved via zero-knowledge proofs that prove funds aren’t from blacklisted sources without revealing any more detail. Partnering with compliance tech firms on this could broaden Obscurium’s appeal in regulated contexts.

Listing Strategy Philosophy: Overall, our approach is collaborative and cautious:

• We don’t indiscriminately list every token; quality over quantity maintains trust.

• We listen to our community – if many OBSC holders request support for a particular token or chain, that guides our priorities.

• We ensure any partnership is a two-way street. It should bring value to Obscurium users and OBSC holders, not just be a paid integration or vanity listing.

By steadily expanding through partnerships, Obscurium can become a widely plugged-in privacy layer across the crypto world.
