## What Is Wing (WING)?

Wing is a credit-based, decentralized platform designed for crypto-asset lending and cross-chain communication between decentralized finance ([DeFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/defi/)) projects. The project aims to make crypto lending services more inclusive through a credit evaluation module that removes the need for large collaterals. Wing is a decentralized autonomous organization ([DAO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-a-dao)) that allows users to take part in decision-making, product design and operations.

Wing uses decentralized governance coupled with a risk control mechanism to improve the relationships between creditors, borrowers and guarantors. This has led to an improvement in the number of and accessibility to DeFi projects utilizing the platform. One of the goals of Wing DAO is to solve the issue of over-collateralization that plagues the DeFi industry.

The platform allows for the creation of new blockchain projects and focuses its efforts on a [decentralized](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-decentralized-finance) and autonomous governing community. In response to the issues faced by other DeFi projects, Wing DAO has built a credit-based DeFi protocol that runs on the Ontology ([ONT](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ontology/)) blockchain. The protocol is fully controlled by the users and requires no third parties to confirm transactions.


### Who Are the Founders of Wing?

Wing is the credit-based cross-chain DeFi platform developed and operated by the Ontology team.


#### What Makes Wing Unique?

One unique feature of Wing is that it allows users to set up a DAO proposal or become an investor on the platform even without prior knowledge or interaction with the blockchain. Wing offers project developers a chance to receive crowdfunding when they submit proposals. Investors have the opportunity to contribute to decision-making and in return earn a share of future profits through smart contracts. 

Wing is built on the Ontology blockchain due to its ability to create collateral pools across different blockchains. Ontology enables the digitization of new and existing assets. 

The blockchain also has a feature called OScore, which is a credit-scoring system. OScore evaluates the lending/borrowing history and digital asset information of the users. Users on the platform have full control over their accounts and can access their OScore securely to ensure data privacy. 

In addition, since borrowers have to rely on their OScore data for loans, the collateral required to make loans on the platform is reduced. In Wing’s inclusive pool, users are incentivized to keep a good credit score. Users who repay their loans on time may enjoy lowered interest rates on their loans. Some DeFi platforms similar to Wing include [Uniswap](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/how-to-use-uniswap) and [AAVE](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/aave/).

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.

BarnBridge, founded in 2019, is a protocol for tokenizing risks. It was launched in September 2020. BarnBridge is a sort of decentralized finance (DeFi) lego for creating tradeable tokens that expose a consumer to market volatility. As of March 2021, the platform is still in an early stage of launch.

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

BarnBridge is a project that expands the functionality of DeFi to make it more flexible and efficient. By tokenizing market fluctuations and exposure to risks, it can reduce volatility for conservative investors or increase it for daytraders. BarnBridge enables traditional risk management tools and fixed income instruments on the DeFi market. The main focus is dividing cryptocurrency risks into tranches so market participants, depending on their risk profile, can invest in different products or assets.

Keep3rV1 is a decentralized platform designed to facilitate the coordination between projects that need to source outside development operations and those who can provide those required services. Essentially, the project serves as a job board that facilitates the interaction between job posters, such as decentralized finance protocols, and job executors, known as Keepers. The tasks performed by Keepers range from submitting and calling transactions on-chain to completing complex operations off-chain. Keep3rV1 uses an ERC-20 token, KP3R, for governance and to provide rewards to Keepers.

The project was first announced on Oct. 22, 2020. It launched on the Ethereum mainnet in beta mode on Oct. 28, 2020.

Vite has built a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) based smart-contract platform, with a Snapshot Chain structure to facilitate zero-fee transactions and optimize transaction speed, reliability, and security. The Snapshot Chain of Vite utilizes Hierarchical Delegated Proof of Stake (“HDPoS”) to achieve network consensus, while supernodes take only staking rewards and no transaction fees. Vite virtual machine maintains compatibility with EVM, and utilizes asynchronous smart contract language, Solidity++.

The VITE token is the currency for simple token transactions and smart-contract executions on the Vite network, with users staking VITE for transaction quota instead of consuming gas. VITE can also be used to vote for Snapshot Block Producers (aka supernodes). In addition, a VITE staker with unused transaction quota can lease such quota to dApps in exchange for their tokens. For instance, users can stake VITE in exchange of ViteX’s native decentralized exchange token, VX.

Vite’s current products include a decentralized exchange (ViteX), a multi-purpose wallet application (Vite App), payments (VitePay), and government/enterprise blockchain applications (VitePlus):

ViteX is a decentralized exchange with on-chain orderbook and matching engine, and supports currently 20+ digital assets.

Vite App is a mobile application that allows trading (ViteX), asset management (wallet), dapps (e.g Vite-based games) in one place.

VitePay is a fast and feeless payment solution, currently available to use in Singapore’s Ce La Vi Sky Bar and taxi services under the Midwest Global network - Users can pay for merchants with Vite wallet, who in turn receive payment with zero fees with near-instant settlement. VitePay is also integrated with the e-commerce platform OpenCart, and one can utilize VitePay at the official Vite store.

VitePlus is a Vite-based enterprise blockchain solution for governments and enterprises. Vite has developed a pilot app, SyraCoin, for the Syracuse government, allowing city housing fund donors to receive blockchain-based coupons that are redeemable for goods and services within city bounds.

Beta Finance is a permissionless money market on Ethereum for borrowing, lending and shorting crypto assets. It allows users to access a scalable and accessible money market where tokens can be listed permissionlessly and automatically and where users can short these tokens. Beta Finance plans to launch on additional layer one and layer two solutions after its Ethereum Mainnet launch.

Users have three options: lending, borrowing and shorting. Lenders will be able to lend crypto assets for any market that exists on Beta Finance and earn interest on it. Borrowers can take the contrary position, while short-sellers are able to use collateral to initiate short positions. Unlike centralized exchanges, Beta Finance does not use an order book to execute shorts but routes the trade through decentralized exchanges that use automated market makers. As part of its Phase 2 launch, the platform plans to release permissionless money market creation.
