About SOS Foundation

SOS Foundation is an upcoming community-driven platform that is devoted to using the unique properties of blockchain technology to drive social change.

SOS partners with a range of celebrity-backed philanthropic efforts to help impact a wide variety of causes — potentially including humanitarian relief efforts, sustainability and green energy initiatives, or tackling human trafficking and modern slavery.

To accomplish this, SOS will be forging partnerships with a wide variety of charities and do-good foundations to help make a positive impact while simultaneously promoting the power and capabilities of decentralized technologies.

What problems does it solve?

The SOS Foundation makes it easy to do good, by providing an incentivized platform for funding efforts that benefit mankind.

It uses blockchain to help organize efforts and quickly and efficiently distribute donations to partnered charities while providing a wide range of perks to SOS token holders — who essentially contribute to various social good efforts by simply holding the token.

One of the ways it accomplishes this is with a value redistribution feature, which sees SOS holders earn a share of 4% of all the sell orders of the token. This provides a passive income stream to anybody that opts to support the network long term. Beyond this, 2–2.5% of all SOS trades go into a jackpot fund that is shared periodically with three random SOS holders — providing a further incentive to hold.

The platform has already established a partnership with Miley Cyrus’ Happy Hippie Foundation — which works to rally young people up against homelessness. SOS also has two as-yet unnamed partnerships secured — one with an iconic singer, the other with a world-renowned athlete. These are set to be announced shortly.

Who knew it paid to go good!?

To help accomplish its goals, the SOS Foundation have incorporated a number of distinguishing features, some of which include:

Deflationary Tokenomics

The platform features aggressive deflationary tokenomics to help drive the stable long-term growth of the platform and give back to its supporters. SOS Foundation employs two different types of tax to help with this:

Buy tax: 5% of all buy orders will be deducted — 2.5% goes to the community & charity wallet and the other 2.5% goes to the jackpot fund
Sell tax: 10% of all sell orders will be deducted — 1% is burned, 2.5% goes to the community & charity wallet, 2% goes to the jackpot fund, 4% is reallocated to other holders, and 0.5% is distributed to the liquidity pool.

Jackpot System

SOS is built to better our society and uses a number of incentive mechanisms to help grow its user base and hence the amount of good it can do. One of these incentives is the SOS jackpot — which sees three random SOS holders win a share of the jackspot (1st place 50%; 2nd place 35%; 3rd place 15%).

The lottery is taken periodically based on whether the SOS token market cap hits specific milestones, providing an incentive to hold SOS long term.

Variable Perks

Through its partnership with a range of celebrities and charities, the SOS Foundation will unlock a variety of additional perks for supporters. This might include exclusive access to events, free sustainably minted NFTs, early access to content, merch discounts, meet and greets with celebrities, and much more.

The goal of SOS is to make it as easy as possible to do good, by forging a close-knit community and incentivizing the sustainable growth of the platform.
