Strategic Shifts Ahead

In the dynamic landscape of DeFi and NFTs, evolution is not just a choice—it's a necessity. The $METH project, born out of a vision to revolutionize Ethereum's reward utility, is embracing this evolution with open arms and a clear focus. Today, we're excited to share some significant pivots in our strategy, aimed at simplifying our offerings and injecting more fun into the $METH ecosystem.

Refining Our Vault Strategy: Embracing the Short-Term Vault (STV)

In the spirit of innovation and in response to our vibrant community's voice, we are honing our focus exclusively on the Short-Term Vault (STV). Our journey with $METH began under the ambit of grand ambitions—pioneering both Short-Term and Long-Term Vaults (STV and LTV). However, guided by the wisdom of our community and the insights gleaned from recent polls and discussions, especially within The Meth Lab, we've chosen a path that harmonizes with our collective vision.

We've decided to align the STV cycle with the calendar year, culminating on December 31st, 2024. This decision reflects a commitment to transparency, predictability, and strategic planning, ensuring every holder can participate in and benefit from the vault's success with clarity and confidence. The cycle's conclusion and the specifics of the claim process will be detailed further as we approach the end date. Yet, the fundamental principle is crystal clear: the more $METH you hold, the greater your share of the VAULT.

In anticipation, we are also exploring innovative mechanisms like vault boosts and other dynamic incentives to reward our holders. While these details are being fine-tuned, the core philosophy remains unwavering—our commitment to maximizing value for $METH holders through strategic accumulation and rewarding participation in the STV.

Stay tuned for more detailed announcements regarding these mechanics. Our promise to you is a journey of value, transparency, and community-driven success.

Unveiling ETH Monsta Collectables: A New NFT Adventure on Polygon

As we pivot towards a more engaging and inclusive future for $METH, we're excited to introduce our latest venture: ETH Monsta Collectables. Born from a desire to simplify and enhance our NFT strategy, these Open Edition NFTs find their home on the Polygon Chain—a decision driven by the chain's low transaction costs, swift processing times, and unparalleled accessibility. These attributes make Polygon the ideal platform for our community to engage with ETH Monsta Collectables without the worry of prohibitive fees.

Available at an affordable mint price, with an exclusive discount for Whitelist holders, these collectables are designed to bring added excitement to the $METH ecosystem. Unlike traditional limited editions, there's no cap on the number of NFTs a user can mint during the minting period, opening the door to unlimited fun and engagement. 

Over the ensuing months, we will unveil a series of these collectables, each accompanied by its own set of prize draws, further enriching the minting experience. Beyond individual draws, we're also assembling a grand prize draw—with a prize pool exceeding $5k in $ETH, $METH, $NFTs, and more—for those dedicated collectors who secure at least one of each edition. This massive draw aims not just to reward engagement, but also to bind our community closer together.

Anticipate robust marketing and social engagement campaigns with each mint, designed to spotlight our vibrant community and the unique value of holding METH. Through these collectables, we aim to blend fun, value, and community engagement into a single, rewarding experience.

Stay tuned in the coming days as we roll out more details on each collectable and prepare for an adventure filled with rewards, engagement, and community spirit!

$MEPE LP Unlock: Strategic Allocation and Growth

As we approach the eagerly anticipated $MEPE LP unlock, our strategy for utilizing these funds is meticulously crafted to ensure sustainable growth, innovation, and rewarding community engagement. This strategic allocation not only delineates our roadmap but solidifies our commitment to the $METH ecosystem's prosperity.

The allocation is as follows:

• 20% for Vault Accumulation: Directing a significant portion towards the vault underscores our dedication to enhancing its robustness and attractiveness.
• 25% for Marketing: This substantial investment in marketing aims to magnify $METH's presence, particularly as we navigate the upcoming bullish market conditions. Our objective is to captivate new investors and enthusiasts, further expanding our vibrant community.
• 15% for Development: Continuous improvement and innovation are at the heart of $METH, and this allocation supports the development of new features and enhancements including a user dashboard, more detailed analytics, as well as cycle end claiming mechanisms. 
• 30% for Treasury: Ensuring financial health and operational resilience, this allocation provides a strategic reserve to support long-term success and stability, serving as a backbone for operational excellence and innovation, team incentives, and essential operational needs.
• 10% Reserved for LP Additions: Flexibility in liquidity provision is critical. This reserve allows us to enhance the $METH liquidity pool as needed, promoting stability and confidence among our holders.

This careful and considered allocation strategy reflects our commitment to the project's long-term success, prioritizing a balanced approach to fuel growth, ensure sustainability, and deliver value to our community.

Refined Token Tax Strategy

In alignment with our commitment to community-driven decisions and flexibility, we're excited to announce updates to our token tax structure, following extensive community discussions and a conclusive snapshot vote. Transitioning to a more balanced approach of 5% buy and 5% sell tax, we aim to foster a more dynamic and responsive ecosystem, enhancing the $METH project's stability and success in fluctuating market conditions. These changes are in progress and will be communicated once completed and live.

Currently, 5.9 ETH has been accumulated through sell taxes, and we plan to allocate these funds in the upcoming weeks as follows::

• ~33% to Buy Back and Burn METH
• ~33% for Vault Addition (Now to be $UNI as per passed proposal #004)
• ~22% for Development and Marketing
• ~11% to Buy Back and Burn $MONSTA on BSC

These allocations, crafted from our initial strategic vision, showcase our dedication to adaptability, transparency, and the collective journey towards a thriving $METH ecosystem. The exact distribution of taxes remains flexible and will be adapted periodically to suit the best needs of the project (IE: directing to LP addition, increasing/decreasing current categories, etc)

Navigating Ahead: The Future of $METH

With our strategic adjustments, we're setting $METH on a solid path forward. This new phase is built on clear, actionable strategies derived from community input, a focus on streamlined operations, and a commitment to delivering value and enjoyment to our holders. Our optimism for $METH's future is based on solid plans and a vibrant community ready to engage with our evolving ecosystem. We're confident in the direction we're heading and excited about the opportunities these changes will unlock for $METH and its community. Let's move forward together, poised for success and growth.
