Lunc Community – many of you are asking: “How much to build #ClassixDEX and what are ongoing costs?” The purpose of CLASSIC DEX is to make a revenue stream for the chain where 100% fees auto-buyback & burn $LUNC + $USTC. With a max budget of $50,000–$100,000 from the community pool + potential fundraising. This is tight for full perps + multi-chain dex, but doable as a true community project by smart prioritizing. How we stay under $100k: -Fork open-source protocols heavily (cheapest & fastest way): -Perps: Fork GMX (proven, audited, multi-chain on Arbitrum/Avalanche/Base/Solana). -Spot: Fork Uniswap V3/V4. This avoids building from scratch (which can hit $500k+ for custom perps like Hyperliquid-style). -Start as MVP: Launch on 2–3 chains first (e.g., Terra Classic + Arbitrum/Base via IBC/bridges). -Basic high-leverage perps + spot, meme-focused pairs. -Add more chains later as volume grows. -Community power to slash costs: Volunteer devs/validators from our strong community handle core work (audits paid from budget). -Use existing bridges/aggregators (no custom cross-chain from day 1). Breakdown (target $50k–$100k total): -Smart contracts fork/customization: $20k–$40k -Frontend/UI + wallet integration: $10k–$20k -Audits (2–3 firms): $20k–$40k -Deployment/oracles/nodes: $5k–$10k (community validators help!) -Buffer for testing/bug bounties: Rest Post-launch monthly costs: ~$1,000–$4,000 -RPC/oracles: $500–$1,500 (multi-chain, community nodes = near zero extra) -Hosting/frontend (IPFS/decentralized): ~$100–$500 -Maintenance/updates: Community volunteers (paid fairly from early fees if needed) -Monitoring/security: $500 -Marketing: $0 – YOU drive it! Once live, even modest volume (0.5–1% of top perps) covers costs + starts MASSIVE burns. Fees → instant burns → scarcity → more traders → flywheel! This is 100% community-owned. No team tokens/cuts. Governed on Agora. LUNC burns, USTC burns, Community WINS.
