## Что такое Nexo (NEXO)?

Nexo — это платформа для кредитования на основе [блокчейна,](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain) которая предлагает пользователям мгновенные ссуды в залог [криптовалют.](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-are-cryptocurrencies) Пользователи вносят средства в одном из поддерживаемых токенов, например [Bitcoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/bitcoin/) (BTC), [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/ethereum/) (ETH), [Litecoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/litecoin/) (LTC) или [XRP](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/xrp/) (XRP) и получают кредит в фиате или [стейблкоинах](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-a-stablecoin).

У Nexo есть собственный токен NEXO, который при блокировке на платформе предоставляет пользователям такие преимущества, как скидки на проценты, накопленные по кредитам, и возможность получать процентные платежи по депонированным средствам. Держатели токенов также получают дивиденды от прибыли Nexo.

Впервые о проекте было [объявлено](https://medium.com/nexo/nexobank-get-instant-loans-secured-by-digital-assets-2d04c75d25ac) в декабре 2017 года, а [запуск](https://medium.com/nexo/nexo-launches-platform-and-worlds-first-instant-crypto-backed-loans-442b029cca8f) прошел в апреле 2018 года.

### Кто создал Nexo?

[Nexo](https://nexo.io/) основана командой профессиональных финансистов крипоэнтузиастов. Используя блокчейн, они создали сервис заимствований под стоимость криптоактивов при сохранении права собственности. Такие сервисы хорошо зарекомендовали себя в традиционных финансах, но до сих пор не существовали в цифровых финансах. В 2018 году команда запустила платформу Nexo, предложив первые в мире крипто-кредитные линии, которые позволили держателям цифровых активов получать ссуды в фиатной валюте и стейблкоинах в залог криптовалют, и тем самым заложили основы ниши криптовалютного кредитования.

У коллектива Nexo в совокупности более 30 лет опыта в финансовых услугах: это и традиционное кредитование, инвестиционный банкинг, слияния и поглощения, а также хедж-фонды. Соучредитель и управляющий партнер [Антони Тренчев (Antoni Trenchev)](https://twitter.com/antroninexo) обладает опытом в области финансового права и в KYC и AML решений.

Тренчев – лицо проекта Nexo. В его послужном списке годы агитации за распространение и легализацию блокчейн- и крипто-решений. С 2015 по 2017 год он был членом парламента в Национальном Собрании Болгарии, где он продвигал внедрение блокчейна для решений электронного правительства. Часто его можно увидеть в крупных СМИ уровня [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/ru/news/videos/2020-12-11/bitcoin-foundations-are-firm-says-nexo-s-antoni-trenchev-video), [The Independent](https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/bitcoin-price-all-time-high-record-b1761235.html) и [CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/video/2019/06/25/hard-for-cryptocurrency-doubters-to-continue-their-cause-expert.html) как эксперта в области с криптовалюта и цифровых финансов.

В настоящее время Nexo обслуживает более миллиона пользователей в более чем 200 юрисдикциях, управляя активами на сумму более 4 миллиардов долларов. В настоящее время в компании работает 150 сотрудников, а руководство находится в Лондоне.

### Что особенного в Nexo?

Согласно [официальному вайтпейперу](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/whitepaper), Nexo стал [первым в мире](https://nexo.io/assets/downloads/Nexo-Whitepaper.pdf) поставщиком мгновенных кредитов, обеспеченных криптовалютой, и намеревается решить проблему неэффективности на рынке кредитования. Сам процесс кредитования в нем автоматизирован благодаря [смарт-контрактам](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract) и [оракулу](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/oracles-in-defi-101-a-deep-dive-by-tellor) на блокчейне [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/ethereum/) для управления кредитами. После того, как пользователь переводит криптовалюту в кошелек, контролируемый Nexo, оракул устанавливает размер ссуды, и пользователю мгновенно выделяются средства. Когда пользователь вносит депозит для погашения ссуды, оракул возвращает криптовалюту и записывает транзакцию в блокчейн. Смарт-контракты используются для работы NEXO и записи балансов пользователей.

Nexo [полезен](https://nexo.io/assets/downloads/Business-Overview.pdf) индивидуальным и институциональным инвесторам, криптовалютным компаниям, биржам, майнерам и всем, кто хочет получить [ликвидность](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity) от своих активов. Компания получает прибыль от процентов, накопленных по кредитам, а также предлагает институциональные кредиты и консалтинговые услуги.

Nexo стремится построить сообщество клиентов, которые продолжают использовать платформу и продолжают инвестировать в NEXO. Для этого компания объявила о запуске программе лояльности, которая вознаграждает держателей NEXO на своих счетах, предоставляя им льготные процентные ставки по [кредитам](https://nexo.io/blog/the-loyalty-program-and-how-it-benefits-you-part-1-better-borrowing) и более высокую доходность по [сбережениям](https://nexo.io/blog/the-loyalty-program-and-how-it-benefits-you-part-2-dynamic-passive-income). Nexo также [выплачивает](https://medium.com/nexo/nexo-dividends-explained-6636804db3a) 30% своей прибыли держателям токенов NEXO в виде дивидендов.

### Сколько монет Nexo (NEXO) находится в обращении?

У Nexo есть фиксированный предел эмиссии в 1 миллиард токенов. Из этой суммы предложение было [распределено](https://nexo.io/assets/downloads/NEXO-Token-Terms.pdf) следующим образом:

* 250 миллионов NEXO (25%) для резервов овердрафта компании условием 12-месячного периода передачи прав с шестимесячным окном;
* 112,5 миллионов NEXO (11,25%) для основателей и команды проекта при условии 48-месячного ежеквартального периода перехода прав;
* 60 миллионов NEXO (6%) на создание сообщества и кампании по раздаче с учетом 18-месячного ежеквартального периода перехода прав;
* 52,5 миллиона NEXO (5,25%) на консультантов, юридические расходы и маркетинг с 12-месячным периодом перехода прав;
* 525 млн NEXO (52,5%) на продажу инвесторам.

Хотя изначально Nexo планировала провести публичную предпродажу и продажу основного токена, позже она [отменила](https://medium.com/nexo/update-on-the-nexo-token-sale-995e9c21e22b) публичные продажи из-за огромного интереса инвесторов к закрытой продаже.

В октябре 2020 года компания [объявила](https://medium.com/nexo/dispatch-8-nexo-invites-you-to-tokenup-with-nexonomics-bdcb9ef9e38d) о запуске инициативы «Nexonomics» для продвижения ее [токеномики](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-tokenomics) и повышения ценности NEXO. Впоследствии компания [сообщила](https://nexo.io/blog/nexo-launches-12-million-dollar-buyback-program), что выкупит назад NEXO на сумму 12 миллионов долларов.

### Как защищена сеть Nexo?

Nexo – это частная компания, которая несет ответственность за безопасность своих сетей и средств пользователей. Nexo [хранит](https://nexo.io/security) свои цифровые активы у BitGo, кастодиана криптоактивов, который хранит токены в холодных кошельках и застрахован на 100 миллионов долларов. В ноябре 2019 года Nexo [сообщила,](https://medium.com/nexo/nexo-is-now-iso-iec-27001-2013-certified-c85f04cadcb7) что она прошла сертификацию ISO / IEC 27001: 2013 после аудита RINA и Консорциума по качеству программного обеспечения ИТ.

Его собственный токен, NEXO, представляет собой [токен ERC-20,](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) в блокчейне Ethereum. Это значит, что все ончейн-транзакции NEXO проверяются и защищаются основной сетью Ethereum с использованием алгоритма Ethash, использующего принцип [proof-of-work](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake) для достижения [консенсуса](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus). Майнеры соревнуются друг с другом, чтобы добавить новые блоки в блокчейн, и большинство узлов сети должны подтвердить запись, чтобы она была опубликована.

После запуска Nexo [сообщили,](https://twitter.com/NexoFinance/status/990273324663029760) что токен прошел «полный аудит». В ноябре 2019 года смарт-контракты прошли независимый [аудит](https://github.com/EthereumCommonwealth/Auditing/issues/285#issuecomment-503660872) Castillo Network, который не обнаружил критических проблем с безопасностью.

### Где купить Nexo (NEXO)?

NEXO можно приобрести на многих биржах криптовалют, например [Huobi Global](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/exchanges/huobi-global/), [UPEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/exchanges/upex/), [Hoo](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/exchanges/hoo/) и [Bitrue](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/exchanges/bitrue/), среди прочих. Его можно купить на спотовых рынках за фиатные валюты, такие как южнокорейский вон и индийская рупия; криптовалюты, такие как [Bitcoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/bitcoin) (BTC) и [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/ethereum) (ETH), а также стейблкоин [Tether](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/tether/) (USDT).

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

Celsius (CEL) is an all-in-one banking and financial services platform for cryptocurrency users.

Launched in June 2018, it offers rewards for depositing cryptocurrency, along with services such as loans and wallet-style payments.

Users of the platform receive regular payouts and interest on their holdings. Celsius’ native token, CEL, performs a variety of internal functions, including boosting user payouts if used as the payment currency.

Celsius

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.

Tezos

Cronos (CRO) is the native cryptocurrency token of Cronos Chain — a decentralized, open-source blockchain developed by the Crypto.com payment, trading and financial services company.

Cronos Chain is one of the products in Crypto.com’s lineup of solutions designed to accelerate the global adoption of cryptocurrencies as a means of increasing personal control over money, safeguarding user data and protecting users’ identities. The CRO blockchain serves primarily as a vehicle that powers the Crypto.com Pay mobile payments app.

In the future, Crypto.com plans to expand the reach of the CRO platform to power its other products as well.

CRO went live in November-December 2018.

Cronos

KCS is the native token of KuCoin, which was launched back in 2017 as a profit-sharing token that allows traders to draw value from the exchange. It was issued as an ERC-20 token running on the Ethereum network and was supported by most Ethereum wallets. The total supply of KCS was set at 200 million, and there is a planned buyback and burn until just 100 million KCS remain. Sooner or later, as the KuCoin decentralized trading solution goes live, KCS will be the native asset of KuCoin's decentralized financial services as well as the governance token of the KuCoin community in the future.

KuCoin has also announced that “Empowering KCS'' will be a key priority of KuCoin and will build KCS as a killer product rather than a simple token, which is bound to further diversify the benefits that KCS holders can access. In the long run, KCS performs as the key to the entire KuCoin ecosystem. With the development of DEX and KuChain, KCS will also be the underlying fuel and general token for future KuCoin decentralized products. More details will likely be released in the near future.

KuCoin Token

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.

Enjin Coin

THORChain is a decentralized liquidity protocol that allows users to easily exchange cryptocurrency assets across a range of networks including Bitcoin and Ethereum without losing full custody of their assets in the process.

With THORChain, users can simply swap one asset for another in a permissionless setting, without needing to rely on order books to source liquidity. Instead, market prices are maintained through the ratio of assets in a pool (see automated market maker.

The native utility token of the THORChain platform is RUNE. This is used as the base currency in the THORChain ecosystem and is also used for platform governance and security as part of THORChain's Sybil resistance mechanisms — since THORChain nodes must commit a minimum of 300k RUNE to participate in its rotating consensus process.

THORChain was funded through an initial DEX offering (IDO) which launched through the Binance DEX in July 2019. Its single-chain chaosnet launched in April 2021, the multi-chain upgrade was launched in April 2021 and Mainnet is now live as of Jun 2022..

THORChain

Curve is a decentralized exchange for stablecoins that uses an automated market maker (AMM) to manage liquidity.

Launched in January 2020, Curve is now synonymous with the decentralized finance (DeFi) phenomenon, and has seen significant growth in the second half of 2020.

In August, Curve launched a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), with CRV as its in-house token. The DAO uses Ethereum-based creation tool Aragon to connect multiple smart contracts used for users’ deposited liquidity. Issues such as governance, however, differ from Aragon in their weighting and other respects.

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

Zilliqa is a public, permissionless blockchain that is designed to offer high throughput with the ability to complete thousands of transactions per second. It seeks to solve the issue of blockchain scalability and speed by employing sharding as a second-layer scaling solution. The platform is home to many decentralized applications, and as of October 2020, it also allows for staking and yield farming.

Development work officially started on Zilliqa in June 2017, and its testnet went live in March 2018. A little over a year later, in June 2019, the platform launched its mainnet.

The native utility token of Zilliqa, ZIL, is used to process transactions on the network and execute smart contracts.

Zilliqa

Pancakeswap was originally built on the BNB Chain and allows users to trade tokens without using a centralized exchange. It provides an array of products, such as:

An exchange to swap tokens

A yield farm to earn rewards

Syrup pools to stake CAKE tokens

Ethereum liquid staking (wBETH) and simple staking

Pancake Protectors game

v3 position manager (new feature)

A prediction market

Initial Farm Offering (IFO) token launches

A bridge to bridge CAKE to Ethereum and Aptos

A lottery

An NFT marketplace

Pancakeswap innovates quickly and ships new products regularly. In April 2023, PancakeSwap voted to transition to a deflationary token model called "Ultrasound CAKE." The protocol passed a proposal called CAKE Tokenomics v2.5 to create a structure combining real yield (no supply impact) and reduced token emissions. Over 102% of minted CAKE is burned weekly. This is intended to provide a multi-year runway for emissions and incentivize locking up CAKE, making the token more valuable long-term.

PancakeSwap has an anonymous team of “Chefs,” working in the PancakeSwap “Kitchen.” The platform is open-source and has been audited by multiple reputable blockchain security firms like Peckshield and Slowmist.

Although the bear market has impacted TVL and trading volume for the protocol, PancakeSwap still boasts an annualized revenue of $27 million, with 42% of CAKE is staked:

Axie Infinity is a blockchain-based trading and battling game that is partially owned and operated by its players.

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

Inspired by popular games like Pokémon and Tamagotchi, Axie Infinity allows players to collect, breed, raise, battle and trade token-based creatures known as Axies.

These Axies can take various forms, and there are more than 500 different body parts available, including aquatic, beast, bird, bug, plant and reptile parts. Parts from each type class come in four different rarity scales: common, rare, ultra rare and legendary — and Axies can have any combination of body parts, making them highly variable and often rare and unique.

Each Axie is a non-fungible token (NFT) with different attributes and strengths and can be entered into 3v3 battles, with the winning team earning more experience (exp) points that are used to level up an Axie's stats or evolve their body parts. These Axies can be bred together to produce new and unique offspring, which can be used or sold on the Axie marketplace.

The Axie Infinity ecosystem also has its own unique governance token, known as Axie Infinity Shards (AXS). These are used to participate in key governance votes and will give holders a say in how funds in the Axie Community Treasury are spent.

Axie Infinity

Chiliz is the leading digital currency for sports and entertainment by the eponymous Malta-based FinTech provider. It operates the blockchain-based sports entertainment platform Socios, which enables users to participate in the governance of their favorite sports brands. Multiple fan tokens by Socios.com are an example of that. For sports clubs and associations, fan tokens offer a way of connecting with their fans and unlocking new revenue streams.

For instance, fans can participate and influence club-related decisions through surveys and polls, such as messages the captain should wear on his armband. The company aims to bridge the gap between being an active and a passive fan. Chiliz has developed partnerships with some of the biggest sporting institutions in the world: FC Barcelona, Manchester City, Juventus Turin, and Paris Saint-Germain. It also boasts partnerships with the UFC and gaming organizations. By purchasing CHZ, fans get access to various fan tokens and literally have a stake in their club.

Chiliz

Huobi Token (HT) is the native token of the cryptocurrency exchange Huobi Global. It is a decentralized digital asset based on the Ethereum blockchain and is ERC-20 compliant. HT’s value is in part reliant upon the reputation of the Huobi crypto exchange, yet other factors also have an impact.

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

Huobi Token is a relatively young project. It first launched in January 2018, hot on the heels of the release of a native token on rival crypto exchange Binance. Having its own token allows Huobi to build a flexible marketing strategy in order to attract new users and further grow its platform.

One key function of the token is to reduce commissions for trading operations on the exchange, which are usually paid from users' wallets. Yet the token has much more to offer. Using HT, users can purchase monthly VIP-status plans to receive discounts on transaction fees. Token holders have the right to vote on exchange decisions, can receive crypto rewards for seasonal buybacks, and also get early access to special events. HT holders can, at any point, trade the token for other cryptocurrencies.

Huobi Token

NEM is a blockchain platform that was launched in March of 2015. It was one of the pioneers of the cryptocurrency industry, and sought to improve on the imperfections found on other chains at the time. It was one of the first non-turing complete chains to feature user-defined tokens (called mosaics), namespaces, multisignature accounts, and a P2P reputation system based on EigenTrust++. Its most notable contribution to the space is the proof-of-importance consensus mechanism, which sought to reward on-chain activity and deter the concentration of wealth commonly associated with proof-of-stake. Its client, NIS, is written in Java.

NEM has a global community. It sees the most utility as an alternative form of payment for businesses and vendors, and has a variety of social media apps built on top of it in Japan, such as nemgraph, a community-driven owned and operated alternative to Instagram.

In December 2021, NEM was hard forked by a pseudonymous team of cryptocurrency experts and enthusiasts alike. Titled Harlock, this hard fork signaled the community’s intent to take NEM from a shadow of its former self into the world’s leading payments platform for on-chain and off-chain media content.
