LEVER

The Singapore-based RAMP DEFI project was founded in 2019 by Lawrence Lim and Loh Zheng Rong. Together, they re-branded the platform and launched LeverFi 3 years later. Lawrence Lim, the co-founder, began his career in 2012 in the traditional finance world. He worked in private banking and corporate mergers and acquisitions before transitioning into crypto with IOST, a blockchain network.

Loh Zheng Rong, the co-founder and marketing lead of the project, is a graduate of the Singapore Management University with a B.B.A in Finance Wealth Management. He co-founded NOX (a blockchain infrastructure company) in 2018 and previously served as the managing partner at Merkle Ventures.

The primary case for LeverFi is to establish a unique solution for traders by integrating trading and farming into a single platform.

Users can deposit collateral as single assets, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Curve liquidity provider tokens (LP) and Uniswap LP, and then unify their collateral in order to trade with larger positions.

The platform also supports users who partake in pair trading or hedging with leverage, while also allowing users to utilize the platform in conjunction with DEX/CEX derivatives.

LeverFi charges trade fees of 1% for every trade. Furthermore, LeverFi routes trade to pre-existing DeFi protocols and decentralized exchanges. For instance, when a user longs an asset on the platform, the asset is bought on a liquid secondary market via DEXs. LeverFi does not act as a counterparty to their users, and hence claims that it does not engage in “player versus player” or PvP behavior as it is a conflict of interest.
