 Built on the Algorand ecosystem, Algofi is a decentralized exchange (<a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/global-crypto-market-contracts-top-altcoins-grab-investor-attention-amid-turbulence/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DEX</a>) and lending protocol that allows users to lend various assets on Algorand to earn deposit interest. 
 The Algofi platform stood out with a unique feature it offered called Zap. With this feature, a user could convert any asset into liquidity pool tokens in a single transaction. Thus, swap and withdrawal transactions could be carried out smoothly and at once. 
 Algofi, with the second version it launched in August 2022, expanded and improved the Zap feature, enabling users to smoothly carry out their borrowing and staking transactions. In addition, support was provided for the hardware wallet Ledger.
