DragonFly
DragonFly is a decentralized investment platform that enables retail users to participate in early-stage blockchain projects by pooling funds through smart contracts. It integrates DeFi, token incentives, and real-world asset exposure to lower investment barriers and increase accessibility. [1]
Overview
Dragonfly is a decentralized investment platform developed as a strategic extension of Dragonfly.xyz, a global blockchain investment firm. It aims to distribute early-stage project allocations, typically reserved for institutional investors, to retail users through DeFi mechanisms. Users can stake TRC-20 tokens like USDT or TRX and participate in financial activities—such as staking or lending—to earn DGFY, the platform's token. Based on their DGFY holdings, users receive shares of potential returns from Dragonfly's investment portfolio once projects launch on secondary markets. The platform addresses traditional barriers such as high capital requirements and limited access using smart contracts to ensure transparency in fund flows and profit distribution. [2]
Features
Dragonfly enables retail investors to access early-stage investments by distributing private equity allocations—traditionally reserved for large capital holders—through blockchain-based fund aggregation. Its platform token, DGFY, is earned by depositing funds and determines a user’s share of investment allocations, with potential returns realized once projects list on secondary markets. Smart contracts ensure transparent and automated processes for fund management and profit distribution, removing reliance on intermediaries. The model benefits all stakeholders: it lowers user entry barriers, provides platforms with broader funding access, and gives projects stronger community engagement and exposure. [3]
DGFY
DGFY is the native token of the DragonFly platform, functioning as both a utility and governance asset within the ecosystem. It allows users to access investment returns, participate in decision-making through voting on proposals, and unlock exclusive features and services, reinforcing its role in user engagement and platform development.

Tokenomics
DGFY has a total supply of 10B tokens and has the following allocation: [5]
- Liquidity mining: 54%
- Donation airdrops: 20%
- LP initial circulation pool: 15%
- Marketing: 6%
- Airdrops, marketing: 5%
