## Τι Είναι το Celsius (CEL);

Το Celsius (CEL) είναι μια ενιαία πλατφόρμα τραπεζικών και χρηματοοικονομικών υπηρεσιών για χρήστες κρυπτονομισμάτων.

Κυκλοφόρησε τον Ιούνιο του 2018 και προσφέρει ανταμοιβές για την κατάθεση κρυπτονομισμάτων, μαζί με υπηρεσίες όπως δάνεια και πληρωμές τύπου πορτοφολιού.

Οι χρήστες της πλατφόρμας λαμβάνουν τακτικές πληρωμές και τόκους για τις καταθέσεις τους. Το εγγενές token του Celsius, το CEL, εκτελεί μια ποικιλία εσωτερικών λειτουργιών, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της ενίσχυσης πληρωμών των χρηστών εάν χρησιμοποιείται ως το νόμισμα πληρωμής.

### Ποιοι Είναι οι Ιδρυτές του Celsius;

Το Celsius δημιουργήθηκε αρχικά από τους Alex Mashinsky και Daniel Leon το 2017.

Ο Mashinsky έχει μακρόχρονη ιστορία στη σφαίρα ανάπτυξης του διαδικτύου, έχοντας εργαστεί στο VoIP τη δεκαετία του 1990 και άλλες τεχνολογίες έκτοτε. Το Celsius απέχει πολύ από το πρώτο εταιρικό εγχείρημα του Mashinsky, με επτά startups και 35 πατέντες στο όνομά του, όπως αναφέρει η επίσημη ιστοσελίδα του έργου.

Εντωμεταξύ, ο συνιδρυτής και γενικός διευθυντής Daniel Leon έχει εμπειρία στην ανάπτυξη νεοφυών επιχειρήσεων. Οι προηγούμενοι ρόλοι του περιλαμβάνουν τη θέση του Διευθύνοντος Συμβούλου της Atlis Labs, μιας εφαρμογής κοινωνικών συστάσεων και ανακάλυψης που χρησιμοποιούσε παραπομπές χρηστών σε πραγματικό χρόνο.

Το Celsius έχει τώρα μια μεγάλη ομάδα βασικών υπαλλήλων, τεχνικών προγραμματιστών και συμβούλων με εμπειρία σε διάφορους τομείς.

### Τι Κάνει το Celsius Μοναδικό;

Το Celsius στοχεύει να ξεπεράσει τις τράπεζες στο δικό τους παιχνίδι, προσφέροντας χρηματοοικονομικές υπηρεσίες με όρους που δεν προσφέρουν πλέον τα παραδοσιακά χρηματοπιστωτικά ιδρύματα.

Αυτά περιλαμβάνουν πολύ υψηλότερα ποσοστά απόδοσης αποταμιεύσεων και καταθέσεων, πολύ ευκολότερες και πιο δίκαιες απαιτήσεις δανειοληψίας και αυτοματοποιημένες ανταμοιβές που υπολογίζονται αλγοριθμικά για κάθε χρήστη. Αίρονται επίσης και οι κυρώσεις και οι τραπεζικές προμήθειες.

Η πλατφόρμα λειτουργεί επίσης ως πορτοφόλι μέσω της λειτουργίας CelPay και φιλοξενεί το δικό της token, το CEL, το οποίο οι χρήστες μπορούν να αξιοποιήσουν για να αυξήσουν την αξία πληρωμής μεταξύ άλλων.

Ως κερδοσκοπική εταιρεία, το Celsius λαμβάνει μερίδιο των περιθωρίων κέρδους στις πληρωμές τόκων, επιστρέφοντας το 80% στους ίδιους τους χρήστες. Η εταιρεία δανείζει επίσης σε θεσμικές οντότητες, όπως αμοιβαία κεφάλαια αντιστάθμισης κινδύνου.

Οι πληρωμές είναι διασφαλισμένες καθώς τα δάνεια καλύπτονται από περιουσιακά στοιχεία και οποιοσδήποτε δανειολήπτης πρέπει να παρέχει περισσότερο από το 100% αυτού που δανείζεται στο νόμισμα προορισμού.

### Πόσα Νομίσματα Celsius (CEL) Υπάρχουν σε Κυκλοφορία;

Το εγγενές token του Celsius είναι το CEL. Εκτελεί μια σειρά από λειτουργίες που σχετίζονται με τον χρήστη και είναι ελεύθερα διαπραγματεύσιμο εκτός της πλατφόρμας.

Το CEL έχει μέγιστη προσφορά 695.658.161 token, εκ των οποίων το 76% είναι σε κυκλοφορία και το 24% είναι κλειδωμένο σύμφωνα με ένα χρονοδιάγραμμα που ορίζεται στο έντυπο υλικό του έργου.

Το CEL είχε αρχική προσφορά νομισμάτων ([ICO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/initial-coin-offering-ico)) τον Μάιο του 2018. Η προπώληση και η μαζική πώληση πήραν το 50% της προσφοράς token, με το 27% να πηγαίνει στο ταμείο, το 19% στην ομάδα και το 2% στους συνεργάτες και τους διαφημιστές αντίστοιχα.

Το CEL είναι ένα τυπικό token [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) στο Ethereum.

### Πώς Διασφαλίζεται το Δίκτυο Celsius;

Το Celsius χρησιμοποιεί έναν τροποποιημένο αλγόριθμο απόδειξης συμμετοχής για το token του, ενώ ευρύτερες διαδικασίες ασφαλείας περιγράφηκαν σε μια ειδική παρουσίαση τον Ιούνιο του 2020, η οποία εξακολουθεί να είναι διαθέσιμη στον ιστότοπο της εταιρείας.

Όπως συμβαίνει με κάθε πορτοφόλι προσανατολισμένο στον πελάτη, ο κίνδυνος κλοπής από επιθέσεις όπως η ανταλλαγή SIM υπάρχει εάν οι ίδιοι οι χρήστες δεν διαθέτουν επαρκή προστασία, όπως έλεγχο ταυτότητας δύο παραγόντων.

### Πού Μπορείς να Αγοράσεις Celsius (CEL);

Το CEL είναι ένα ελεύθερα διαπραγματεύσιμο token σε μεγάλα χρηματιστήρια, με διαθέσιμα ζεύγη με κρυπτονομίσματα και stablecoin.

Από τον Οκτώβριο του 2020, οι αυτοματοποιημένοι διαμορφωτές αγοράς ([AMM](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/automated-market-maker-amm)) κατείχαν τη μερίδα του λέοντος στον όγκο διαπραγματεύσεων, με δημοφιλή ζεύγη να είναι το [Bitcoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/currencies/bitcoin/) (BTC) και το [Wrapped Ether](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/currencies/weth/) (WETH).

FTT is the native cryptocurrency token of the crypto derivatives trading platform FTX that launched on May 8, 2019. On Nov. 11, 2022, FTX filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S., and is currently undergoing proceedings. Some of the information below may not reflect the current standings of the FTX exchange, please proceed with caution when interacting with the FTT token.

The team behind FTX comprises some of the largest crypto traders over the past few years who, having found issues with most mainstream crypto futures exchanges, decided to launch their own platform. FTX claims that it stands out due to such features as clawback prevention, a centralized collateral pool and universal stablecoin settlement. FTX is a centralized crypto exchange launched by Sam Bankman-Fried in 2019, backed by significant trading companies in the industry, including Almeda Research, OTPP, Temasek, BlackRock, Coinbase Ventures and Sequoia Capital. As of 2022, the platform has over a million registered members, and the daily trading volume has reached billions of dollars.

In regards to clawback prevention, a significant amount of customer funds on other derivative exchanges have been claimed by socialized losses. FTX reduces this by using a three-tiered liquidation model.

On existing crypto futures exchanges, the collateral is fragmented across separate token wallets; this can be difficult for traders as it prevents positions from getting liquidated. On the other hand, FTX derivatives are stablecoin-settled and only require one universal margin wallet.

Another feature of the FTT are leveraged tokens, which allow traders to put leveraged positions without the need to trade on margin. If a trader wants to short Bitcoin with 3x leverage, they can simply buy a 3x short Bitcoin leveraged token on FTX. These tokens are ERC20-compatible and can be listed on any spot exchange. FTX currently offers XRP, BNB, TRX, BTC, ETH, EOS, USDT and LEO leveraged tokens.

A year after its founding, FTX Exchange introduced the exchange token called FTX Token or FTT. The FTT coin is an ERC-20 standard token that is actively used by ecosystem participants.

Initially, FTT was established as a reward for exchange transactions; however, over the years the list of functions has grown:

FTT is applicable in the creation of leveraged tokens on the FTX Exchange; users can receive VIP discounts in the form of FTT depending on the number of coins they own, and it’s possible to earn rewards for providing liquidity through futures positions.

In order to maintain its value, the exchange regularly buys back and burns its tokens, spending on the purchase of FTX: 33% of trading fees, 10% of the reserve fund, and 5% of other commissions.

FTT Token use cases:

1/3 of the commissions received from transactions on FTX are utilized to buy back FTT. Tokens redeemed in this way are burned;

FTT tokens are used to reduce trading fees and to secure futures positions;

Profits from massive market movements are distributed among the holders;

By purchasing a white label version of FTX’s OTC portal and futures market, institutions and investors pay expenses in FTT tokens;

By creating leveraged tokens, projects can pay listing fees with FTT;

Users can stake FTT to benefit from discounts, bonus votes, and blockchain fee waivers.

One benefit of FTX Token (FTT) is commission discounts. Members pay a low fee and obtain tighter spreads. Traders use FTT as collateral, and those who are active on FTX Exchange see percentage differences of up to 60%. Traders get insurance protection, which ensures a net profit in moments of market volatility, then makes it possible to continue trading even without a margin call.

In addition to the fact that FTT is useful for opening positions with leverage, FTT staking also offers perks: discounts, the opportunity to win NFTs, participation in airdrops, bonus votes and IEO tickets.

Enjin Coin is a project of Enjin, a company that provides an ecosystem of interconnected, blockchain-based gaming products. Enjin's flagship offering is the Enjin Network, a social gaming platform through which users can create websites and clans, chat, and host virtual item stores.

Enjin allows game developers to tokenize in-game items on the Ethereum blockchain. It uses Enjin Coin, an ERC-20 token, to back the digital assets issued using its platform, meaning that items can be bought, sold and traded with real-world value.

Enjin Coin was first announced in July 2017, and it launched on the Ethereum mainnet in June 2018.

Enjin Coin (ENJ) is a digital store of value used to back the value of blockchain assets like non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Every asset minted with the Enjin Platform contains ENJ, a minting resource which is locked inside NFTs and removed from circulation. Minting blockchain assets with ENJ provides a variety of benefits to creators and users:

Infuses them with a reserve value

Ensures their transparency and scarcity

Gives them instant liquidity

Provides utility in games and apps

Anti-inflationary

Enjin's "melting" functionality allows users to destroy their blockchain assets at any time to retrieve the ENJ value from within.

The Enjin blockchain ecosystem aims to offer software products that make it easy for everyone to develop, trade, monetize, and market with blockchain.

Founded in 2009, Enjin has roots in the gaming industry, with the company’s first product, a gaming community platform called the Enjin Network, growing to 20 million users over the course of a decade.

In 2017 following an ICO, Enjin established itself as a leading blockchain ecosystem developer, building a suite of software products that enable anyone to easily mint, manage, trade, distribute, and integrate blockchain assets.

Enjin’s co-founder Witek Radomski wrote the code for one of the first ever non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and is also the co-author of the ERC-1155 Ethereum token standard.

Built on top of an on-chain infrastructure, the Enjin ecosystem enables game developers and businesses of all sizes to use tokenized digital assets as part of their acquisition, retention, engagement, and monetization strategies. The Enjin ecosystem is fueled by Enjin Coin (ENJ), a cryptocurrency used to back the value of blockchain assets.

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.

Self-described as "Polkadot's wild cousin," Kusama is an experimental blockchain platform that is designed to provide a massively interoperable and scalable framework for developers.

Kusama is built on Substrate — a blockchain building kit developed by Parity Technologies. Kusama has almost the same codebase as Polkadot — one of the most successful interoperable blockchains.

By deploying on Kusama, fast-paced projects gain access to a highly scalable, interoperable sharded network, with features that are not yet available on Polkadot. To that end, Kusama describes itself as a “canary network.”

The platform is designed to provide a testbed for developers looking to innovate and deploy their own blockchain and can be used as a preparatory network before launching on Polkadot — though many projects opt to stick with Kusama for their final product.

Kusama benefits from a low barrier to entry for deploying parachains, low bond requirements for validators, and is most commonly used by early-stage startups and for experimentation.

Kusama

Yearn.finance is an aggregator service for decentralized finance (DeFi) investors, using automation to allow them to maximize profits from yield farming.

Its goal is to simplify the ever-expanding DeFi space for investors who are not technically minded or who wish to interact in a less committal manner than serious traders.

Launched in February 2020, the service, formerly known as iEarn, has seen huge growth in recent months as new products debuted and developers released in-house token YFI.

Nexo is the world’s leading digital assets institution. The company’s mission is to maximize the value and utility of digital assets by offering a comprehensive suite of products that include advanced trading solutions for retail and institutional clients, aggregation of liquidity from leading venues, and tax-efficient asset-backed credit lines. In early 2022, the enterprise launched its investment arm Nexo Ventures, which now boasts over 60 portfolio companies. Nexo has processed $130+ billion for 6,000,000+ satisfied users across more than 200 jurisdictions.

The NEXO Token is the platform’s native currency, an ERC-20, Ethereum-based token, that grants holders access to tiers in Nexo’s Loyalty Program. The token, which is traded on the open market, brings a number of advantages, including preferential borrowing rates, cash-back, free withdrawals and better yield rates.

Nexo

Tezos is a high-performing blockchain and open-source platform for assets and applications, with a strong focus on code security, on-chain governance, and decentralization. Tezos 2.0, the upcoming step in the evolution of Tezos, aims to improve scalability (via layer 2s), composability, and to implement support to mainstream programming languages (like Javascript, Typescript, Python, and many others).

Initially built with formal verification in mind, the Tezos protocol enables builders to avoid bugs when developing smart contracts, making it particularly suited to applications that require a high degree of security and certainty.

Tezos’ LPoS (Liquid Proof-of-Stake) consensus mechanism enables any stakeholder to take part, directly or by delegation, in the consensus process, and to be rewarded for securing the network. Rather uniquely, Tezos’ on-chain governance system also enables stakeholders to create and vote on protocol upgrade proposals. This pioneering system allows the protocol to self-amend and upgrade itself without leading to a split (or fork) in the blockchain, empowering the community without slowing down innovation.

First proposed in 2014 and launched in 2018, the Tezos Mainnet has a proven track record of running uninterrupted ever since, having earned a strong reputation for technical excellence and a supportive community.

Basic Attention Token, or BAT, is the token that powers a new blockchain-based digital advertising platform designed to fairly reward users for their attention, while providing advertisers with a better return on their ad spend.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Basic Attention Token.

This experience is delivered through the Brave Browser, where users can watch privacy-preserving adverts and receive BAT rewards for doing so. On the other hand, advertisers can deliver targeted ads to maximize engagement and cut down losses due to ad fraud and abuse.

The Basic Attention Token itself is the unit of reward in this advertising ecosystem, and is exchanged between advertisers, publishers and users. Advertisers pay for their advertising campaigns in BAT tokens. Out of this budget, a small portion is distributed to advertisers, while 70% is distributed to users — whereas the intermediaries that typically drive up advertising costs are cut out of the equation to improve cost-efficiency.

Basic Attention Token launched in 2017 following one of the fastest sell-out initial coin offerings (ICOs) of all time, with the platform raising a total of $35 million in under a minute. Since then, it has rolled out its attention-based advertising experience to users in most countries through its Brave Rewards program.

As of November 2020, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada had the most active advertising campaigns.

Basic Attention Token

Audius is a decentralized music streaming protocol initially built on POA network, but now living on Solana. Audius was launched to remedy the inefficiencies of the music industry, which is plagued by intransparent music rights ownership and intermediaries standing between artists and their audience.

Audius aims to align the interests of artists, fans, and node operators through its platform powered by its native AUDIO token. Artists can upload music, stored and distributed by content and discovery nodes, that fans can listen to for free. Currently, Audius rewards content creators through rewards like featuring in the weekly trending lists. In the future, it plans to integrate stablecoins for artists to offer paid content, as well as artist tokens that give fans the ability to access exclusive content, potentially cooperating with platforms like Rally.

Audius

Synthetix is building a decentralized liquidity provisioning protocol that any protocol can tap into for various purposes. Its deep liquidity and low fees serve as a backend for many exciting protocols on both Optimism and Ethereum. Many user-facing protocols in the Synthetix ecosystem, such as Kwenta (Spot and Futures), Lyra (Options), Polynomial (Automated Options), and 1inch & Curve (Atomic Swaps), tap into Synthetix liquidity to power their protocols. Synthetix is built on Optimism and Ethereum mainnet. The Synthetix Network is collateralized by SNX, ETH, and LUSD, enabling the issuance of synthetic assets (Synths). Synths track and provide returns on the underlying asset without requiring one to directly hold the asset. This pooled collateral enables an array of on-chain, composable financial instruments backed by liquidity from Synthetix. Some of the most exciting upcoming releases from SNX are Perps V2, which hopes to enable low-fee on-chain futures trading through the usage of off-chain oracles, and Synthetix V3, which aims to rebuild the protocol to achieve its earliest goal, being a fully permissionless derivatives protocol. Learn more about Synthetix on their blog or by joining the SNX Discord.

The platform aims to broaden the cryptocurrency space by introducing non-blockchain assets, providing access to a more robust financial market.

Synthetix

Serum is a decentralized exchange (DEX) and ecosystem that brings unprecedented speed and low transaction costs to decentralized finance (DeFi). (DeFi).

Serum is the only high-performant DEX designed around a fully on-chain central limit order book and matching engine. Ecosystem partners can compose with Serum’s on-chain orderbook to share liquidity and power their trading features for institutional and retail users.

In light of the popularity of DeFi and the growth of DEXes on Ethereum, users and developers are limited by high gas costs and slow transactions. Serum aims to resolve these traditional problems of DeFi, as well as issues of centralization, low capital efficiency, and liquidity segmentation.

The SRM utility and governance token enables users to receive discounts on protocol fees and voting rights; 100% of exchange fees flow back to SRM via buy-and-burn, staking rewards, and ecosystem grants.

Serum

Compound is a DeFi lending protocol that allows users to earn interest on their cryptocurrencies by depositing them into one of several pools supported by the platform.

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

When a user deposits tokens to a Compound pool, they receive cTokens in return. These cTokens represent the individual’s stake in the pool and can be used to redeem the underlying cryptocurrency initially deposited into the pool at any time. For example, by depositing ETH into a pool, you will receive cETH in return. Over time, the exchange rate of these cTokens to the underlying asset increases, which means you can redeem them for more of the underlying asset than you initially put in — this is how the interest is distributed.

On the flip side, borrowers can take a secured loan from any Compound pool by depositing collateral. The maximum loan-to-value (LTV) ratio varies based on the collateral asset, but currently ranges from 50 to 75%. The interest rate paid varies by borrowed asset and borrowers can face automatic liquidation if their collateral falls below a specific maintenance threshold.

Since the launch of the Compound mainnet in September 2018, the platform has skyrocketed in popularity, and recently passed more than $800 million in total locked value.

Compound

Celo is a carbon-negative, permissionless, blockchain with a rich ecosystem of global partners building innovative Web3 dapps to support a more inclusive financial system. Accessible to anyone with a mobile phone, the Celo ecosystem consists of a decentralized, proof-of-stake blockchain technology stack (the Celo platform), CELO governance asset, and several Mento stable assets (cUSD, cEUR, cREAL) that allow for real-world users to use digital assets. The open source Celo mainnet launched on Earth Day 2020.  The Celo community passed an indicative on-chain governance proposal (temperature check) to have Celo migrate to an Ethereum layer-2.  Google Cloud, Deutsche Telekom, Telefonica, and many others run validators on the Celo Platform.  Today, the Platform supports 1,000+ projects in over 150 countries are building on Celo to, helping to create the conditions of prosperity for all.  For more information, please visit Celo.org.

Helium (HNT) is a decentralized blockchain-powered network for Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

Launched in July 2019, the Helium mainnet allows low-powered wireless devices to communicate with each other and send data across its network of nodes.

Nodes come in the form of so-called Hotspots, which are a combination of a wireless gateway and a blockchain mining device. Users who operate nodes thus mine and earn rewards in Helium’s native cryptocurrency token, HNT.

Helium’s goal is to prepare IoT communication for the future, identifying inadequacies in current infrastructure from its birth in 2013.
