## ما هي ألفا فاينانس (ALPHA)؟

ألفا فاينانس لاب (Alpha Finance Lab) عبارة عن منصة [تمويل لامركزي](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-decentralized-finance) متعددة السلاسل حيث تهدف إلى أن تكون متاحة للمستخدمين عبر مجموعة متنوعة من سلاسل الكتل المختلفة، بما في ذلك بينانس سمارت تشين (BSC)، و[إيثريوم](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/ethereum/).

تهدف المنصة إلى خلق نظام بيئي لمنتجات التمويل اللامركزي بما يغطي الفجوة في تلبية احتياجات الصناعة مع الحفاظ على سهولة الاستخدام والوصول. أول منتج تم بناؤه بواسطة (Alpha Finance Lab) هو (Alpha Lending)، وهو بروتوكول إقراض لامركزي مع أسعار فائدة يتم تعديلها خوارزمياً.

فيما كانت منصة (Alpha Homora) التي تعطي عوائد استثمار مرتفعة هي المنتج الثاني الذي أطلقته المنصة، وعند كتابة هذا من المقرر إطلاق (AlphaX) — وهو منتج مقايضة عقود آجلة دائمة بلا دفتر طلبات — في عام 2021.

ألفا (ALPHA) هو الرمز المشفّر الأصلي للاستخدام على المنصة. ويمكن لحامليه كسب حصة من رسوم الشبكة عن طريق وضع رموز (ALPHA) المشفّر في [التخزين المؤقت](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/staking) لتغطية أي قروض متخلفة. وتشمل حالات الاستخدام الأخرى للعملة المشفّرة تعدين [السيولة](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity) من خلال وضعها في مجمّعات السيولة، والتصويت على الحوكمة.

حيث تقوم "ألفا فايننس" بتنفيذ الحوكمة عبر منظمة مستقلة لامركزية ([DAO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-autonomous-organizations-dao)) فاسحة المجال أمام حاملي عملات (ALPHA) للتصويت على تفاصيل منتجات "ألفا" المستقبلية، وتحديد كيفية عملها. وينقسم إجراء الحوكمة هذا إلى مستويين: الحوكمة على مستوى المنتج والحوكمة على مستوى التمويل، وهو ما يمنح حاملي الرمز المشفّر قدراً كبيراً من التحكم في مستقبل "ألفا".

### من هم مؤسسو ألفا فايننس؟

تم إطلاق ألفا (ALPHA) في عام 2020، بعد عملية بيع عام للرمز المشفّرة على (Binance Launchpad).

تأسست المنصة من قبل تاشا بونيراميتدي، قائدة مشروع (Alpha Finance Labs) والرئيس السابق للاستراتيجية في (Band Protocol). وقبل توليها منصبها في "ألفا فاينناس"، اكتسبت بونيانيراميتدي خبرة واسعة في العمل مع شركات مالية عالمية — حيث شغلت وظيفة محللة مصرفية استثمارية في جيفريز من عام 2017 إلى عام 2018، ومديرة منتجات في شركة تينسنت العملاقة للتكنولوجيا من عام 2018 إلى عام 2020.

وإلى جانب بونيانيراميتدي، يضم الفريق الأساسي لـ "ألفا فاينناس" المهندس الرئيسي وباحث سلاسل الكتل نيبون بيتيماناري، وهو خريج في الرياضيات وعلوم الكمبيوتر من معهد ماساتشوستس للتكنولوجيا، وحاصل على الميدالية الذهبية في الأولمبياد الرياضي الدولي لأربع سنوات متتالية.

في المجموع، يتكون فريق "ألفا فاينناس" من سبعة أعضاء على الأقل، وفقاً [لصفحة لينكدان](https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/people/?facetCurrentCompany=%5B%2268012647%22%5D&origin=COMPANY_PAGE_CANNED_SEARCH) الرسمية الخاصة بالمشروع.

### ما الذي يميّز ألفا فاينانس؟

تتطلع "ألفا فاينانس" إلى تمييز نفسها عن أنظمة التمويل اللامركزي الأخرى من خلال البحث بنشاط عن الاحتياجات المغفلة في مجالات التمويل اللامركزي وتحديدها ومعالجتها من خلال دورة تطوير سريعة.

وعلى عكس المنصات الأخرى، تهدف "ألفا فاينانس" إلى جعل حلولها لا تقتصر على تقديم فائدة فحسب، بل أن تكون سهلة الاستخدام أيضاً، مما يساعد على جعل التمويل اللامركزي أكثر سهولة. حيث يعمل كل منتج تم تطويره بواسطة "ألفا فاينانس" على تعزيز نظام "ألفا" البيئي بأكمله، من خلال توفير فائدة إضافية لحاملي رموز (ALPHA) المشفّرة.

بالإضافة لذلك، تدعي كل منتجات "ألفا فاينانس" الأولى أنها تقدم حلاً جديداً تماماً للسوق. منها (Alpha Homora) وهي أول منصة لتقديم مفهوم زراعة العائد ذو الرافعة المالية، ومع إطلاق (Alpha Homora V2) في عام 2021، ستقدم أول عقد ذكي قادر على الاقتراض من عقد ذكي آخر ([Cream Finance](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/cream-finance/)) بطريقة لا تحتاج إلى إيداع ضمانات إضافية.

علاوة على ذلك، بمجرد إطلاقها، ستصبح (AlphaX) أول بورصة لامركزية على غرار "يونيسواب"/"سوشي سواب" بدون دفاتر أوامر. سيسمح ذلك لمزيد من الأفراد بالوصول إلى فوائد المقايضات الدائمة (مثل التداول بالرافعة المالية)، دون الحاجة إلى فهم كيفية عملهم في الخلفية.

* النظام البيئي: 36.67% من إجمالي إمدادات الرموز المشفّرة

على أن يتم قفل الرموز المشفّرة المخصصة للفريق حتى أغسطس 2021 ليتم منحها تدريجياً حتى مارس 2024.

### كيف يتم تأمين شبكة ألفا فاينانس؟

باعتباره رمز مشفّر قائم على معيار ([ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20))، يحصل (ALPHA) على دعم من قبل واحدة من شبكات سلاسل الكتل الأكثر قوة وأماناً في الاستخدام الشعبي — [إيثريوم](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/ethereum/). حيث يتم ضمان أمنها من خلال شبكة التعدين واسعة النطاق التي كانت تتبع نموذج توافق [إثبات العمل (POW)](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake)، قبل أن تنتقل إيثريوم إلى نموذج توافق إثبات الحصة.

وعلى الرغم من امتلاك "ألفا فاينانس" لمطورين وباحثين متخصصين، إلا أنها تعتمد أيضاً على عمليات تدقيق خارجية لضمان أمان [عقودها الذكية](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract). على سبيل المثال، قامت "الفا فاينانس" بالاستعانة بكل من (PeckShield)، و(Quantstamp) لتدقيق كود العقد الذكي لـ (Alpha Homora V2).

### أين يمكنك شراء ألفا فاينانس (ALPHA)؟

حسب بيانات يناير 2021، كان رمز (ALPHA) المشفّر مدرجاً في عدد قليل من منصات التبادل — بما في ذلك [Binance](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/exchanges/binance/)، و[Uniswap](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/exchanges/uniswap-v2/).

لا توجد حالياً عند كتابة هذا أزواج لتداول (ALPHA) مقابل عملات ورقية، ولكن يمكنك [شراء بيتكوين بواسطة عملة ورقية](https://coinmarketcap.com/how-to-buy-bitcoin/)، ثم تداوله مقابل (ALPHA) على "بينانس".

Badger DAO is an open-source, decentralized automated organization that is dedicated to building products and infrastructure of simplifying the use of Bitcoin (BTC) as collateral across many smart contract platforms.

The platform is a shared space where the developers, known as Badge Builders, have the ability to collaborate and implement Bitcoin as collateral to as many blockchains as possible. A developer can earn a percentage of the fees and BADGER tokens from the developer mining pool for every implementation. The mainnet was launched on December 3, 2020.

A builder can be a single developer, a group of developers, or even a company. There are no fixed obligations to participation requirements, and anyone can create. The pillars of Badger DAO include the Badger Builders, the community-created products, the Dedicated Badger Operations team, the fairly initial distribution of the BADGER tokens for governance and the fact that all of the code is open-sourced.

Linear is a decentralized delta-one asset protocol capable of instantly creating synthetic assets with unlimited liquidity. The project opens traditional assets like commodities, forex, market indices and other thematic sectors to cryptocurrency users by supporting the creation of “Liquids” — Linear’s synthetic asset tokens.

The protocol consists of various products like Linear.Buildr, a DApp used to manage Liquids using Linear (LINA) and other tokens as collateral. The exchange is specifically created to enable trading of a variety of Liquids with rapid confirmation times and robust security.

LINA is an ERC-20 token built on the Ethereum network whose main purpose is as collateral for Liquids (using Buildr) and for community governance of the protocol. All token holders have access to the Linear DAO, enabling them to vote on different initiatives and proposals, helping to shape the development of the Linear ecosystem.

The main goal of Linear is to provide a superior user experience with better scalability and greater speed thanks to the cross-chain capabilities of the protocol. Linear Finance intends to provide a simple solution for users that want exposure to traditional assets while still benefiting from the features enabled only by blockchain technology.

Linear Finance

Ren (REN) is an open protocol built to provide interoperability and liquidity between different blockchain platforms.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Ren.

Formerly known as Republic Protocol, Ren launched RenVM, its virtual machine mainnet, in May 2020, having completed a $34 million initial coin offering (ICO) in 2018.

The protocol’s native token, REN, functions as a bond for those running nodes which power RenVM, known as Darknodes.

Ren aims to expand the interoperability, and hence accessibility, of decentralized finance (DeFi) by removing hurdles involved in liquidity between blockchains.

Perpetual Protocol is a decentralized exchange (DEX) for futures on Ethereum and xDai. Traders can go long or short with up to 10X leverage on a growing number of assets like BTC, ETH, DOT, SNX, YFI and others. Trading is non-custodial, meaning traders always retain possession of their assets, and on-chain. Perpetual Protocol utilizes a virtual automated market maker (vAMM), which provides on-chain liquidity with predictable pricing set by constant product curves. Furthermore, Perpetual Protocol designed its vAMMs to be market-neutral and fully collateralized.

The declared vision of Perpetual Protocol is to create the world’s best, most accessible, and most secure decentralized derivatives trading platform. By building on our DeFi projects and allowing projects to build on Perpetual Protocol, the company embraces the “DeFi money lego” ethos. After hitting a number of milestones in its roadmap, such as launching staking pools and implementing limit and stop-orders, Perpetual Protocol plans to expand to other chains, introduce leveraged tokens, and launch dynamic liquidity in its pools.

Perpetual Protocol

Band Protocol is a cross-chain data oracle platform that is able to take real-world data and supply it to on-chain applications, while also connecting APIs to smart-contracts to facilitate the exchange of information between on-chain and off-chain data sources.

By supplying reputable, verifiable real-world data to blockchains, Band Protocol unlocks a range of new use cases for developers to explore — since they can now use any type of real-world data as part of their decentralized application (DApp) logic, including sports, weather, random numbers, price feed data and more.

Band Protocol initially launched as an ERC-20 project on the Ethereum blockchain in September 2019, but transitioned to the Cosmos network in June 2020 with the release of Band Protocol 2.0. The new protocol is built on BandChain using the Cosmos SDK. Oracle nodes on BandChain not only relay data but are also involved in block production/validation, giving them a dual role.

BAND is the native token of the Band Protocol ecosystem and is used as collateral by validators involved in fulfilling data requests, as well as the main medium of exchange on BandChain — being used to paying for private data.

Band Protocol

Venus is an algorithmic money market and synthetic stablecoin protocol launched exclusively on Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

The protocol introduces a simple-to-use crypto asset lending and borrowing solution to the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, enabling users to directly borrow against collateral at high speed while losing less to transaction fees. In addition, Venus allows users to mint VAI stablecoins on-demand within seconds by posting at least 200% collateral to the Venus smart contract.

VAI tokens are synthetic BEP-20 token assets that are pegged to the value of one U.S. dollar (USD), whereas XVS tokens are also BEP-20-based, but are instead used for governance of the Venus protocol, and can be used to vote on adjustments—including adding new collateral types, changing parameters and organizing product improvements.

The governance of the protocol is entirely controlled by XVS community members, since the Venus founders, team members and other advisors do have any XVS token allocations.

Venus

Origin Protocol is one of Ethereum’s longest-standing DeFi projects, featuring a multichain feature set that unlocks vast opportunities for yield generation across the space. Origin’s products are built to be permissionless and composable, allowing for deep integration with novel primitives. All of Origin’s products streamline rewards to OGN stakers, cultivating a sustainable, user-first offering.

At its core proposition, Origin features:

Capital efficiency: Origin’s liquid staking products, Origin Ether and Origin Dollar, empower users to earn yield while retaining full capital control. The protocol’s unique Automated Redemption Manager (ARM) serves as a key liquidity hub for LST redemptions.

Vast composability: OETH’s robust peg and interoperability makes it an ideal building block for innovative DeFi strategies.

Broad access: Origin’s diverse integrations with partners such as EigenLayer and Pendle Finance, cater to power users and new entrants alike. Origin is built on core principles of seamless usability, cultivating one of the smoothest user experiences in the space.

Some of Origin Protocol’s key elements include:

Origin Ether (OETH): OETH is a leading liquid staking token that harnesses battle-tested mechanics to maintain a strong peg and vast composability for users. Users can mint OETH by depositing reserves of ETH. This ETH is staked to the Beacon Chain, with staking rewards distributed to users. OETH boasts broad DeFi integrations on ETH and leading Layer-2 networks.

Origin Dollar (OUSD): OUSD is a yield bearing stablecoin fully collateralized by reserves of USDT, USDC, and DAI. Users can deposit these stablecoins to mint OUSD, which generates yield. OUSD’s rebasing model automatically distributes rewards to holders’ wallets, removing the need for lockups and claiming rewards.

Automated Redemption Manager (ARM): The ARM is a groundbreaking platform that bolsters liquidity for redeemable assets, such as LSTs and LRTs. Users can take advantage of rapid redemptions for seamless swaps between leading LSTs and ETH with zero slippage.

Some of its key highlights include:

Versatile Utility: Origin’s product suite is deeply integrated across DeFi, allowing users to harness innovative instruments and opportunities. Origin Ether, for instance, is deeply integrated with the likes of Pendle and EigenLayer. Users can also take advantage of wOETH on leading L2 networks to explore more platforms and yield generating positions.

Transparent, best-in-class security: Both OUSD and OETH boast battle-tested, open-source codebases. Origin’s products have been rigorously audited by leading firms, including OpenZeppelin. Origin’s yield-generating products deliver yields without compromising on security, and feature rich analytics dashboards for users to monitor treasury flows and allocations.

Protocol Governance: Users can stake OGN for up to a year in exchange for non-transferable xOGN. xOGN accrues yield from a share of protocol fees earned by Origin’s products. xOGN holders can submit proposals, vote on active submissions, and vote on treasury allocations. This symbiotic structure creates a sustainable, rewarding governance system that upholds the core principles of decentralization.

World class team and investors: The project is led by serial entrepreneurs Matthew Liu and Josh Fraser, and seasoned team members from leading tech firms including PayPal, YouTube, Google, DropBox, etc. Origin has received backing from top investors such as Pantera Capital and Foundation Capital, as well as from individuals like Steve Chen, the founder of YouTube, and Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit.

My Neighbor Alice is a farming-themed play-to-earn builder game built on Chromia. The game bills itself as a place where “players can buy and own virtual islands, collect and build exciting items while also making new friends.” Each player has their own avatar representing them in the game, which they can modify as they please. Players can buy virtual real estate from Alice, the game’s eponymous central figure, or the internal marketplace. All purchased land is represented as an NFT.

My Neighbor Alice aims to introduce blockchain to millions of players and targets a diverse gaming community within the traditional gaming market. Although the game is blockchain-based and integrates DeFi features, it does not require prior knowledge of cryptocurrency and blockchain. My Neighbor Alice takes inspiration from several popular sources. For instance, daily in-game tasks and social aspects are inspired by Animal Crossing, whereas Minecraft serves as a role model for building mechanics. The artwork was inspired by the Swedish children’s book Pettson and Findus.

MyNeighborAlice

Bancor is an ecosystem of decentralized, open-source protocols that promote on-chain trading and liquidity.

Its main protocol, Carbon, is a decentralized trading protocol allowing users to perform automated trading strategies using custom on-chain limit orders and range orders, with the option of combining orders together to create automated buy low, sell high strategies.

By design, Carbon orders are irreversible on execution, easily adjustable directly on-chain, and resistant to MEV sandwich attacks. These capabilities give users an unprecedented level of control and automation to perform novel trading strategies on-chain.

Fast Lane, a separate open-source arbitrage protocol, allows any user to perform arbitrage between Bancor ecosystem protocols and external on-chain exchanges and redirect arbitrage profits back to the Bancor ecosystem.

All Bancor ecosystem protocols are governed by the BancorDAO via staked BNT.

Bancor

DODO is a DeFi protocoldecentralized finance (DeFi) protocol and on-chain liquidity provider whose unique proactive market maker (PMM) algorithm aims to offer better liquidity and price stability than automated market makers (AMM).

The PMM pricing mechanism, which mimics human trading, utilizes oracles to gather highly accurate market prices for assets. It then provides enough liquidity close to these prices in order to stabilize the portfolios of liquidity providers (LP), lower price slippage and negate impermanent loss by allowing arbitrage trading as reward.

DODO also caters for new crypto projects with a free ICO listing through its Initial DODO Offering (IDO) which requires issuers to only deposit their own tokens.

DODO’s smart contract operates as an ERC20 token on the Ethereum network.

DODO

Bella Protocol is a platform that provides a suite of DeFi products designed to make crypto banking simpler and more accessible. The protocol aims to create a better user experience by eliminating the high fee and slow transaction issues that can affect some blockchain platforms — while simultaneously improving the user experience through its simplified DeFi smart portal.

Bella's smart pool feature allows users to access the best yields available in the DeFi market, while benefiting from nearly zero gas fees — since these are directly subsidized by the platform.

The project launched in September 2020 as the first project distributed via Binance’s Launchpool platform, and has secured investments from several prominent firms, including Arrington XRP Capital and Ledger Capital.

The protocol was built by the ARPA team, a blockchain-based layer 2 solution for privacy-preserving computation. The BEL token is an essential component of the Bella Protocol ecosystem and serves as both a reward token that allows holders to participate in the governance of the platform.

BEL can be used to farm fee rewards from the network, get exclusive discounts on Bella protocol products (such as its robo-advisor tool), and for earning staking rewards.

Bella Protocol

Balancer is an automated market maker (AMM) that was developed on the Ethereum blockchain and launched in March 2020. It was able to raise a $3M seed round by Placeholder and Accomplice. Balancer protocol functions as a self-balancing weighted portfolio, price sensor and liquidity provider. It allows users to earn profits through its recently introduced token ($BAL) by contributing to customizable liquidity pools.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Balancer(https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-balancer.

The protocol operates a few types of pools:

Private pools give the owner governance over the pool, and make the person the sole contributor of liquidity to the pool. Also, all the parameters are mutable by the owner.

Shared pools are for those who want to become liquidity providers (LPs). The LPs are rewarded with the Balancer Pool Tokens (BPTs).

Smart pools are similar to private pools but are controlled by a smart contract. They also reward using BPTs and allow anyone to contribute liquidity to the pool.

Balancer

NKN (NKN), or New Kind of Network, is a network that focuses on creating a decentralized and open-source network protocol for public blockchain-based peer-to-peer (P2P) networks to share network bandwidth and internet connectivity. Its main objective is to address the challenges faced by today's internet, such as centralization, scalability issues and security concerns.

Ontology is a project designed to bring trust, privacy, and security to Web3 through decentralized identity and data solutions. It is building the infrastructure to provide trusted access to Web3, allowing individuals and enterprises to rest assured that through regulatory compliant digital identity solutions, users and their privacy come first.

The Ontology blockchain is a high speed, low cost public blockchain. It is designed to bring decentralized identity and data solutions to Web3, with the goal of increasing privacy, transparency, and trust. To achieve this, users and enterprises are provided with the flexibility to build blockchain-based solutions that suit their needs, while also ensuring regulatory compliance. Through Ontology’s Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Ontology ensures frictionless compatibility with Ethereum, the first step in the creation of the Ontology Multi-Virtual Machine and further interoperability for the chain.

At its launch, Ontology chose to forego the popular initial coin offering (ICO) model in favor of a series of community distributions and airdrops of its ONT cryptocurrency.

This helped to quickly establish both organic price discovery and a passionate community and helped the project to avoid subsequent regulatory scrutiny.

For example, for a brief period any person who signed up for the Ontology newsletter received an airdrop of free 1,000 ONT, which reached a value of $10 per token soon after the token became listed on major exchanges like Binance.

Ontology launched its own MainNet on June 30, 2018 and has been up and running smoothly since.
