DeFi Ecosystem - Discussion

Atomic Loans https://atomic.loans/ is not in your DeFi Ecosystem overview.

Atomic Loans provides a mechanism for cross-chain collateralized loans. Specifically, the system allows people to borrow Ethereum-based USD stablecoins while locking Bitcoin as collateral. In case of default, the collateral is liquidated to make the lender whole. As a fallback for failed liquidations, the lender can eventually seize a portion of the collateral.

cream.finance is a cool protocol. I need to more research but they have caught my eye to say the least! Gotta love the style too.

Hi Amadeo, Thanks for the course so far! It has been enjoyable.

I was interested in learning about Melon Protocol. As far as I can tell (havent tried it out yet) its a good place for people to longterm hold and store their crypto assets in a single location. Recently its token has been growing in value. Looks interesting.

I just learned about Burst (BURST). It looks as if the Burst protocol will allow holders to act as their own exchange. Interesting

Yam Finance/ YAM is an elastic supply crypto asset, similar to Ampleforth (AMPL), where the supply expands and contracts in response to market conditions with the aim of targeting a 1 USD peg per YAM. One of the interesting differentiators about YAM’s approach is that 10% of each supply expansion (known as a rebase) is used to buy yCRV, a high-yielding basket of USD stablecoins, and is allocated to the Yam treasury which is controlled via community governance.

Hi

Many delegates but insufficient knowledge on this field … but getting closer with more and more time spend

This is so overwhelming but Synthetix maybe

I guess they have to run the same standard to communicate (ERC-20 or what ?)

One way to go directly into crypto is by trading your time/work for crypto directly. As more and more people own crypto, it will be possible for more and more people to find someone willing to pay them in a token of their choice.

Of course this is not widespread yet, but I am sure that, one day we will get there.

Nexo.io is pretty nice

CRV (curve) , Aave, Cream.Finance,
most definitely Balancer!! (https://balancer.finance/) along
with https://yfv.finance/stake - a step by step tutorial on https://yfv.finance/stake using balancer would be really nice…

I would say a DeFi project that needs to be in the system overview would be Uniswap. It’s the largest DEX by volume right now.

I wanted to mention https://trustswap.org/ and it looks like someone else has brought it up too; TrustSwap looks like a time controlled escrow platform with DeFi, which is trustless.

I will admit that lately I have actually spent a lot of time learning about Aave and Kyber, but since other people have already posted about those, I wanted to try and bring up something a little different. I find this prompt a little vague, is this what you were looking for?

Look at PowerPool Concentrated Voting Power (CVP)

It allows token holders to lend, pool, borrow governance tokens, earn income, and accumulate governance power in protocols based on the Ethereum network… PowerPool’s mission is to expand the utility of governance tokens to all end-users, and in doing so — provide a stronger and more robust decision-making system for the DeFi ecosystem.
