{"id":"ado-protocol","title":"Ado Protocol","content":"**Ado Protocol** is a [decentralized exchange](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-exchange) platform that integrates [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi), [RWA (Real World Assets)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/real-world-assets-rwas), [CeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cefi-centralized-finance), and infrastructure solutions. It offers a comprehensive ecosystem of financial services including trading, lending, and [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) infrastructure with its native ADO token. [[3]](#cite-id-otFoA6tFw0) [[16]](#cite-id-MUMZBerlbt)\n\n## Overview\n\nAdo Protocol operates as a multi-faceted decentralized finance platform that combines various financial services under one ecosystem. Originally known as Ado.Network, the project rebranded to Ado Protocol as part of its strategic evolution. By supporting self-executing [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract), ADO enables automated, rule-based processes that minimize reliance on intermediaries and allow integration with external [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) networks. The protocol operates using a [Proof-of-Stake (PoS)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) consensus mechanism, which is recognized for its lower energy consumption compared to [Proof-of-Work](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-work-pow) systems. ADO’s [PoS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) framework supports network security while allowing token holders to participate in governance, contributing to decentralized decision-making. The protocol aims to bridge traditional financial services with decentralized technologies, offering users access to trading, lending, travel services, and [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) infrastructure.  [[1]](#cite-id-YrolHkEaex) [[13]](#cite-id-itPss1heno) [[16]](#cite-id-MUMZBerlbt)\n\n## Key Products and Features\n- **Ado DEX**: A [decentralized exchange](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-exchange) that claims to offer the lowest trading fees in the [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) space [[3]](#cite-id-otFoA6tFw0)\n- **Ado Invest**: A borrowing and lending platform that allows users to earn passive income on their digital assets\n- **Ado Wallet**: A multi-chain [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) wallet supporting various [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) networks [[3]](#cite-id-otFoA6tFw0)\n- **NFT Upgrade System**: Users can upgrade their travel [NFTs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) to receive enhanced benefits and discounts  [[11]](#cite-id-8pOGvXaAki)\n- **Volume Services**: The protocol offers specialized services for high-volume traders and institutional clients\n- **TestNet Program**: Ado Protocol maintains a testnet for its [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), allowing developers to test applications before mainnet deployment  [[8]](#cite-id-ZBvP5c0nMf)\n\n### **ADO Swap**\n\nADO Swap is the transaction interface for the ADO Protocol, operating through liquidity pairs with [BNB](https://iq.wiki/wiki/binance-coin) and [BUSD](https://iq.wiki/wiki/binance-peg-busd) on [PancakeSwap](https://iq.wiki/wiki/pancakeswap). It was developed to support a custom affiliate system designed to incentivize user-driven promotion and increase accessibility.\n\nTo facilitate affiliate payments directly on-chain, ADO introduced a \"Swap Mode\" that integrates with [PancakeSwap](https://iq.wiki/wiki/pancakeswap). This setup enables real-time distribution of affiliate commissions using smart contracts, removing the delays typically seen in traditional payout systems.\n\nThe affiliate program does not require users to hold ADO tokens. Participants can connect their wallets (such as Trust Wallet or MetaMask), generate a referral link from their profile page, and share it. Commissions are triggered when referred users make purchases of $100 or more, with referral attribution lasting up to 365 days via a smart contract-enabled tracking mechanism.  [[4]](#cite-id-rFQollJAi9) [[14]](#cite-id-0LCEYzK09A)\n\n### **ADO Travel**\n\nADO Travel is a booking platform offering services such as hotels, flights, vacation packages, city breaks, and event tickets. Initially sourcing inventory from third-party suppliers, it currently includes access to over 250,000 hotel listings worldwide. Users can make payments via credit or debit cards, with any available discounts or cashback amounts displayed at the time of booking.\n\nThe platform plans to expand its service offerings, introduce iOS and Android applications, and develop a system that allows service providers to list properties directly, bypassing intermediaries. [[5]](#cite-id-Mz0Im8ZWqH) [[15]](#cite-id-W9YQwoqPjA)\n\n### **ADO Earn**\n\nADO Earn is a platform within the ADO Protocol that allows NFT holders to earn passive income by staking their Travel NFTs. These staked NFTs can be temporarily used by others to generate discount codes for bookings on ADO Travel. Only NFTs with the maximum discount level are eligible for staking.  [[7]](#cite-id-qYZTg998KS)\n\n### **ADO NFTs**\n\nADO [NFTs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) are digital assets linked to travel-related discounts and cashback benefits within the ADO Protocol ecosystem. Each [NFT](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) is [minted](https://iq.wiki/wiki/minting) with a designated country and a discount rate based on its tier, with the ability to upgrade over time. A total of 10,000 [NFTs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) are issued on [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), divided across four tiers:\n- **Tier 1 (4,000 NFTs)**: Estimated at $800 each, starts with a 30% discount applicable to one room per booking. New country additions also begin at 30%.\n- **Tier 2 (2,000 NFTs)**: Estimated at $2,000 each, starts with a 40% discount for up to two rooms. New countries also start at 40%.\n- **Tier 3 (2,000 NFTs)**: Estimated at $4,000 each, begins with a 50% discount, applicable to up to three rooms. New countries start at 50%.\n- **Tier 4 – VIP (2,000 NFTs)**: Estimated at $10,000 each, issued with a 100% discount for unlimited rooms. Ready for staking on ADO Earn and new countries start at 60%.
