Introduction
As a decentralized exchange deployed on Ethereum and ZkSync Era, Maverick Protocol is designed to provide efficient market-making strategies for LPs through pooling liquidity. It is innovative because it introduces a directional liquidity pooling that allows LPs to choose a liquidity movement mode based on expected asset prices. The smart contract will make liquidity move in this way in each transaction. Thus, the liquidity provided by LPs is kept in the active price range, allowing them to gain fee income. This method can improve capital efficiency and offset impermanent losses to the greatest extent. Currently, four mobility liquidity modes are supported, including Mode Right, Mode Left, Mode Both, and Mode Static.
Velodrome is a native AMM-style DEX built on Optimism, launched by the team behind veDAO, adapted from Solidly by Andre Cronje. The project shows a certain degree of innovation in its economic model, integrating the veToken model from Curve and the (3,3) game theory of Olympus DAO to optimize liquidity incentives. Since its launch, it has accumulated over $5.8 billion in trading volume, surpassing top multi-chain DeFi projects on Optimism such as Aave and Curve.
DeFi Kingdoms was originally a Play-to-Earn (P2E) game developed on the Harmony Protocol blockchain. Compared to other products in the same field, the uniqueness of DeFi Kingdoms lies in the fact that the project team started from DeFi, rather than gaming when creating this product.
$JEWEL is the native token within its platform, a functional and valuable governance token. DeFi Kingdoms aims to package DeFi elements into a fully-fledged ecosystem. Throughout its long-term development, DeFi Kingdoms has become a typical project many users encounter when exploring the DeFi and GameFi sectors.
Combo is a blockchain network that utilizes blockchain technology to provide open-source and scalability solutions for the production and deployment of Web3 games.
Mass Vehicle Ledger enables seamless vehicle data management and secure transactions, empowering individuals and businesses while driving innovation and trust in the world of mobility.
DODO is a DEX (Decentralized Exchange) launched on the Ethereum mainnet in August 2020, utilizing the innovative PMM algorithm to aggregate liquidity near the reference price, thus reducing trading slippage and improving capital efficiency. One of the protocol's distinctive features is the introduction of crowdfunding pool token issuance. In the highly competitive on-chain DEX sector, DODO has deployed its products on multiple chains, and its platform mechanism is friendly to professional market makers and project teams. It has already secured a place in the sector, ranking third in terms of trading volume.
Ribbon Finance is a trailblazing protocol designed for creating structured products centered around options and is currently deployed across Ethereum, Avalanche, Solana, and BSC, with liquidity primarily concentrated on Ethereum. Its standout product is Theta Vault, which is established on the Opyn protocol and employs smart contracts to utilize users' funds for executing strategies involving covered call or put options. Theta Vault charges a 2% management fee and a 10% performance fee. In a nod to Curve's token economics, Ribbon Finance introduced veRBN. As of now, Ribbon Finance holds the distinction of being the structured product with the largest total value locked, conferring upon it a formidable first-mover advantage.
