Tranche is a decentralized protocol for managing risk. The protocol integrates with any interest accrual token, such as Compound's cTokens and AAVE's aTokens, to create two new interest bearing instruments, one with a fixed-rate, Tranche A, and one with a variable rate, Tranche B.
## What makes Tranche unique?
Tranche re-invents debt seniority for decentralized networks. Unlike other risk management protocols, Tranche provides epochless and completely perpetual de-risked assets.
## What is SLICE?
Tranche Token or SLICE is the governance token of the protocol. SLICE holders can vote on protocol parameters and other governance issues, as well as stake their SLICE or SLICE-LP tokens for rewards.
SLICE also accrues value with platform usage. The protocol charges fees in USDT, Dai and ETH, accrued fees are then exchanged for SLICE tokens through UniSwap pools.
## What can I do with SLICE?
* Stake SLICE directly for rewards
* Provide liquidity on UniSwap and stake SLICE-LP tokens for rewards
* Earn SLICE rewards by depositing into Tranches
* Vote on Tranche Improvement Proposals (TRIPs)
* HODL and benefit from platform usage
## How many SLICE tokens are there?
20,000,000 SLICE tokens were minted with 3,000,000 SLICE allocated to the Tranche Treasury and 3,000,000 SLICE locked in vesting contracts for project development. SLICE has a disabled inflation mechanism of 2% that can be activated through community vote.
## Where can I buy SLICE?
