# Benefits of FanzUp Tokens

### Brings Peace of Mind Back to DeFi

* Eliminates typical price volatility of crypto tokens
* Eliminates scam tokens and pump and dump schemes
* Stops price manipulation by team, whales or FUDders
* Can recommend FanzUp to family and friends without fear of price dumping       

### An Ethical Approach Governed by Smart Contracts

* Transparent risk - a 30% membership fee (buy tax) is paid upfront and then the token price will only increase
* No possibility of slow-rugging (no mint function – supply changes with buys and sells only)
* Purchase caps reduce impact of whales/speculators and ensure maximum price increase

### Alignment of Community and Team Incentives

* More transactions = more revenue for marketing and development (no team token allocations, so team is incentivized to increase transaction volume)
* No pump and dump or price chart worry for community and team
* No community outrage when team or anyone sells tokens (because price does not go down)
* Sells are good – they lower supply, making future buys increase the price more

### Increased Utility of Crypto Tokens

* Enables decentralized loans ([Loanz](/litepaper/loanz.md)) without worry of liquidation due to price dropping
* Provides a suitable token option for community / celebrity tokens
* Facilitates token integrations to retailer network
