## Venus (XVS) کیا ہے؟

Venus (XVS) ایک ایسی الگورتھمک منی مارکیٹ ہے اور اسٹیبل کوائنکا مصنوعی پروٹوکول ہے جو صرف BNB چین پر شروع کیا گیا ہے۔

یہ پروٹوکول غیر مرکزی فنانس ([DeFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-decentralized-finance)) کے ایکو سسٹم میں کرپٹو اثاثے پر ادھار پر دینے یا ادھار پر لینے کا استعمال کے لحاظ سے آسان حل پیش کرتا ہے، جو صارفین کو ضمانت کے عوض براہ راست جلدی ادھار لینے کی اہلیت فراہم کرتا ہے، جبکہ اس معاملے میں ٹرانزیکشن کی کم فیس وصول کی جاتی ہیں۔ اس کے علاوہ، Venus صارفین کو Venus کے اسمارٹ معاہدے میں کم از کم 200% ضمانت پوسٹ کرتے ہوئے، ضرورت پڑںے پر سیکنڈز میں VAI [اسٹیبل کوائنز](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-a-stablecoin) منٹ کرنے کا موقع دیتا ہے۔

VAI ٹوکنز ایسے مصنوعی BEP-20 ٹوکن اثاثے ہیں جو ایک امریکی ڈالر (USD) کی قیمت کے ساتھ پیگ کردہ ہیں، جبکہ XVS ٹوکنز بھی BEP-20 پر مبنی ہیں، لیکن اس کے بجائے Venus پروٹوکول کی گورننس کے لیے استعمال کیے جاتے ہیں، اور نئی ضمانتی اقسام کو شامل کرنے، پیرامیٹرز کو تبدیل کرنے اور پراڈکٹ میں بہتریوں کا انتظام کرنے سمیت — دیگر تبدیلیوں پر ووٹ دینے کے لیے استعمال ہو سکتے ہیں۔

چونکہ Venus کے بانیوں، ٹیم ممبرز اور دیگر مشاورت کاروں کے پاس XVS ٹوکنز کی کوئی بھی مختصیاں نہیں ہیں، اس لیے اس پروٹوکول کی گورننس مکمل طور پر XVS کمیونٹی ممبرز کے زیرِ کنٹرول ہوتی ہے۔

### Venus (XVS) کے بانی کون ہیں؟

نومبر 2020 تک Venus کے پسِ منظر میں موجود ٹیم اسٹرکچر کی معلومات عوامی سطح پر دستیاب نہیں ہیں۔ جس کے نتیجے میں، اس کے بانی اور ایکزیکٹو عملے کے ممبرز تاحال نامعلوم ہیں۔

اس کے باوجود، Venus پراجیکٹ کی ڈویلپمنٹ کا اختیار Swipe پراجیکٹ ٹیم نے حاصل کر رکھا ہے۔ CEO Horia Cernusca نے Swipe کی بنیاد رکھی تھی — آپ ایک تجربہ کار ڈیزائنر اور لکھاری ہیں، جنہیں صارفی انٹرفیس کے ڈیزائن پر عبور حاصل ہے — اس کام میں Håkon Eide کا تعاون بھی شامل رہا — جو کمپیوٹر سائنس کے تعلیمی پسِ منظر کے ساتھ ایک تجربہ کار ڈویلپر اور سافٹ ویئر انجینیئر ہیں۔

Venus کا بنیادی ہدف کمیونٹی کی گورننس کے ذریعے غیر مرکزیت کا حصول ہے۔ ٹیم، ڈویلپرز یا بانی کے لیے کوئی پیشگی مائنز موجود نہیں ہیں، جو XVS ہولڈرز کو Venus پروٹوکول کے مستقبل پر مکمل کنٹرول فراہم کرتے ہیں۔

### وہ کیا چیز ہے جو Venus (XVS) کو منفرد بناتی ہے؟

Venus کی بنیادی طاقت اس کی تیز رفتاری اور ٹرانزیکشن کے انتہائی کم اخراجات ہیں، جس کی اصل وجہ یہ ہے کہ اسے BNB چین پر بنایا گیا ہے۔ یہ پہلا پروٹوکول ہے جو اپنی تقریباً فوری ٹرانزیکشنز کی بدولت، صارفین کو [Bitcoin (BTC)](https://coinmarketcap.com/ur/currencies/bitcoin/)، [XRP](https://coinmarketcap.com/ur/currencies/xrp/) Litecoin ([LTC](https://coinmarketcap.com/ur/currencies/litecoin/)) اور دیگر کرپٹو کرنسیز کا ادھار دینے والی مارکیٹس تک رسائی حاصل کرنے کا موقع فراہم کرتا ہے، تاکہ وہ حقیقی وقت میں لیکویڈیٹی حاصل کر سکیں۔

Venus Protocol کو استعمال کرتے ہوئے لیکویڈیٹی حاصل کرنے والے صارفین کو کریڈٹ چیک پاس کرنے کی ضرورت نہیں ہے اور وہ Venus کی غیر مرکزی ایپلی کیشن [DApp](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-applications-dapps)) کے ساتھ رابطہ کر کے فوری طور پر قرض لے سکتے ہیں۔ چونکہ یہاں کوئی مرکزی اتھارٹیز موجود نہیں ہیں، اس لیے صارفین پر ان کے جغرافیائی علاقے، کریڈٹ اسکور یا کسی اور چیز کے حوالے سے کوئی پابندی نہیں، اور وہ ہمیشہ خاطر خواہ ضمانت کے عوض لیکویڈیٹی حاصل کر سکتے ہیں۔

یہ قرضے Venus کے صارفین کے تعاون سے فراہم کیے گئے ہیں، جو اپنے تعاون کے عوض تغیر پذیر APY وصول کرتے ہیں۔ ادھار لینے والے افراد پلیٹ فارم پر زائد ضمانتی ڈپازٹس انجام دیتے ہوئے یہ قرضے حاصل کر سکتے ہیں۔

مارکیٹ میں ہیرا پھیری کے [حملوں](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/51-attack) سے بچنے کے لیے، Venus پروٹوکول [Chainlink](https://coinmarketcap.com/ur/currencies/chainlink/) سمیت دیگر جگہوں سے قیمتوں کے فیڈ [اوریکلز](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/oracles-in-defi-101-a-deep-dive-by-tellor) کو استعمال کرتا ہے، تاکہ قیمتوں کا ایسا درست ڈیٹا فراہم کیا جائے جس میں رد و بدل ممکن نہ ہو۔ BNB چین کی بدولت، یہ پروٹوکول کم لاگت اور موثر کارکردگی کے ساتھ قیمت کی فیڈز تک رسائی حاصل کر سکتا ہے، جس سے سسٹم کا مجموعی خرچ کم ہو جاتا ہے۔

### فی الوقت کُل کتنے Venus (XVS) کوائنز گردش میں ہیں؟

Venus کی زیادہ سے زیادہ کُل سپلائی 30 ملین XVS توکنز ہے، اور نومبر 2020 تک 4.2 ملین سے کچھ زیادہ XVS ٹوکنز زیرِ گردش تھے۔

Venus ان اولین پلیٹ فارمز میں سے ایک تھا جنہوں نے Binance پر Launchpool انجام دیا، جس نے صارفین کو Binance Coin (BNB)، Binance USD (BUSD) اور Swipe (SXP) ٹوکن جیسے مختلف اثاثوں کی اسٹیکنگ سے XVS فارم کرنے کی اجازت دی۔ کل سپلائی کا مجموعی طور پر 20% حصہ (6 ملین XVS) Binance Launchpool کے لیے مختص کیا گیا تھا، اور اس ٹوکن کو تھوڑے ہی عرصے بعد Binance اسپاٹ ایکسچینج پلیٹ فارم پر فہرست میں شامل کر دیا گیا تھا۔

اس پراجیکٹ کی کوئی پیشگی فروخت یا نجی فروخت موجود نہیں اور ٹیم کے لیے بھی ٹوکن کی کوئی مختصی نہیں، لیکن کُل سپلائی کا 1% حصہ (300,000 XVS) BNB چین کے ایکو سسٹم کی گرانٹس کے لیے مخصوص ہے۔ باقی ماندہ 23.7 ملین XVS ٹوکن بتدریج چار سال کی مدت میں ان لاک ہو جائیں گے کیونکہ ان کی مائننگ ایسے لوگ کرتے ہیں جو Venus پروٹوکول کو استعمال کرتے ہیں۔

پراجیکٹ کے [وائٹ پیپر](https://venus.io/Whitepaper.pdf) کے مطابق، یومیہ XVS انعامات کا 35% حصہ ادھار لینے والے افراد کو، 35% سپلائرز کو، اور بقیہ 30% VAI اسٹیبل کوائن کے منٹرز میں تقسیم کیا جاتا ہے۔

### Venus (XVS) نیٹ ورک کو کس طرح محفوظ بنایا جاتا ہے؟

Venus کا نیٹ ورک BNB چین کے ذریعے محفوظ بنایا گیا ہے، یہ ایک ایسی بلاک چین جو Binance چین کے ساتھ متوازی انداز میں کام کرتی ہے۔ BSC [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/ur/currencies/ethereum/) Virtual Machine (EVM) کے ساتھ مطابقت پذیر ہے اور حتیٰ کہ اگر Binance چین آف لائن ہو جائے یا اس پر مسائل کا سامنا ہو، یہ تب بھی کام کرنے کی استعداد رکھتی ہے۔

BNB چین [بلاک چین](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain) کو محفوظ بنانے کے لیے ایک منفرد [مفاہمتی الگورتھم](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus) کو استعمال کرتی ہے، جسے پروف آف اسٹیکڈ اتھارٹی (POSA) کہا جاتا ہے۔ یہ بنیادی طور پر ایک ہائبرڈ مفاہمتی میکانزم ہے جو [پروف آف اسٹیک](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake) (POS) اور پروف آف اتھارٹی (POA) دونوں کی خصوصیات کو باہم یکجا کرتا ہے۔ یہ 21 توثیق کاران کے نیٹ ورک پر بنائی گئی ہے جو BNB چین پر کاموں کو انجام دینے اور حال ہی میں زیرِ عمل آنے والی ٹرانزیکشنز کے حوالے سے معاہدے پر پہنچنے کے ذمہ دار ہیں۔

اس کے علاوہ، Venus کے سپلائرز کو خودکار تصفیہ جاتی اقدامات کے ذریعے تحفظ حاصل ہے، یعنی اگر ادھار لینے والے افراد کی ضمانتی رقم ان کے ادھار کی رقم کے مقابلے میں 75% سے کم ہو جائے، تو یہ اس کا خودکار تصفیہ کر دے گا — اس طرح سپلائرز کو کم از کم ضمانتی تناسب کو جلد از جلد برقرار رکھنے کے عوض معاوضہ دیا جائے گا۔

### آپ Venus (XVS) کہاں سے خرید سکتے ہیں؟

نومبر 2020 تک، Venus ایک ہی ایکسچینج پلیٹ فارم پر ٹریڈنگ کے لیے دستیاب ہے: Binance۔ اسے Tether (USDT)، [Bitcoin (BTC)](https://coinmarketcap.com/ur/currencies/bitcoin/)، Binance Coin (BNB) اور Binance USD (BUSD) کے ساتھ شاملِ فہرست کیا گیا ہے۔ Venus کو خریدنے کے لیے فی الحال کوئی براہ راست آن ریمپس موجود نہیں ہیں۔

Band Protocol is a cross-chain data oracle platform that is able to take real-world data and supply it to on-chain applications, while also connecting APIs to smart-contracts to facilitate the exchange of information between on-chain and off-chain data sources.

By supplying reputable, verifiable real-world data to blockchains, Band Protocol unlocks a range of new use cases for developers to explore — since they can now use any type of real-world data as part of their decentralized application (DApp) logic, including sports, weather, random numbers, price feed data and more.

Band Protocol initially launched as an ERC-20 project on the Ethereum blockchain in September 2019, but transitioned to the Cosmos network in June 2020 with the release of Band Protocol 2.0. The new protocol is built on BandChain using the Cosmos SDK. Oracle nodes on BandChain not only relay data but are also involved in block production/validation, giving them a dual role.

BAND is the native token of the Band Protocol ecosystem and is used as collateral by validators involved in fulfilling data requests, as well as the main medium of exchange on BandChain — being used to paying for private data.

Band Protocol

DODO is a DeFi protocoldecentralized finance (DeFi) protocol and on-chain liquidity provider whose unique proactive market maker (PMM) algorithm aims to offer better liquidity and price stability than automated market makers (AMM).

The PMM pricing mechanism, which mimics human trading, utilizes oracles to gather highly accurate market prices for assets. It then provides enough liquidity close to these prices in order to stabilize the portfolios of liquidity providers (LP), lower price slippage and negate impermanent loss by allowing arbitrage trading as reward.

DODO also caters for new crypto projects with a free ICO listing through its Initial DODO Offering (IDO) which requires issuers to only deposit their own tokens.

DODO’s smart contract operates as an ERC20 token on the Ethereum network.

DODO

Stella is the leveraged strategies protocol with 0% cost to borrow. Stella’s mission is to redefine how leveraged DeFi works. DeFi needs a good leverage system in order to drive more usages on DEXes and money markets, the fundamental building blocks of DeFi. With growing usages on these fundamentals, more protocols and new innovations can arise and tap into the deep liquidity and robust foundation.

Stella strives to become the go-to destination for DeFi users to access maximum yield potential. Whatever on-chain strategies that users want to use on leverage (and safe enough to be supported), then Stella will support at 0% cost to borrow.

The protocol is made up of two parts: Stella Strategy and Stella Lend.

Stella Strategy: Users can access multiple selections of leveraged strategies with 0% borrowing interest for the first time and get yields on leverage.

Stella Lend: Lenders can lend assets to the lending pools on Stella and get real yields. Yields generated from Stella Strategy are shared to lenders.

Stella

UMA was founded in 2018 by Allison Lu and Hart Lambur, two ex Goldman Sachs traders, with the goal of making global markets universally fair, accessible, secure and decentralized.

The team drew inspiration from traditional finance derivatives to define an open-source protocol to allow anyone, anywhere, to design and build trustless financial contracts.

Launched in September 2020, BakeryToken (BAKE) is a part of the BakerySwap ecosystem. Liquidity providers are rewarded with BAKE tokens which can be used to earn a share of BakerySwap’s trading fees and to participate in voting as part of BakerySwap’s governance process.

BakerySwap is a decentralized automated market-making (AMM) protocol that is based on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). The BAKE token is a native BEP-20 governance token on the platform.

Users have the ability to earn BAKE tokens by providing liquidity on BakerySwap, and BAKE holders can use their tokens for governance voting and to receive transaction fee dividends. The BAKE rewards are offered in several liquidity pools, initially including BTC, ETH, DOT, LINK, BUSD and BAKE versus BNB.

BakeryToken

SafePal is a cryptocurrency wallet launched in 2018 that helps users to protect and grow their digital assets. SafePal provides hardware and software wallets, all paired and managed through the SafePal App and was the first hardware wallet invested in and backed by Binance.

SafePal wallet supports numerous popular crypto-assets, in addition to popular tokens on the Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC)and TRON blockchains. Users can store, manage, swap, trade and grow their portfolio without compromising asset security, according to SafePal.

Since its launch in 2018, SafePal has grown exponentially and has over 3,000,000 users in 196 countries globally. More information can be found in the SafePal Official Website.

SafePal

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

Balancer is an automated market maker (AMM) that was developed on the Ethereum blockchain and launched in March 2020. It was able to raise a $3M seed round by Placeholder and Accomplice. Balancer protocol functions as a self-balancing weighted portfolio, price sensor and liquidity provider. It allows users to earn profits through its recently introduced token ($BAL) by contributing to customizable liquidity pools.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Balancer(https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-balancer.

The protocol operates a few types of pools:

Private pools give the owner governance over the pool, and make the person the sole contributor of liquidity to the pool. Also, all the parameters are mutable by the owner.

Shared pools are for those who want to become liquidity providers (LPs). The LPs are rewarded with the Balancer Pool Tokens (BPTs).

Smart pools are similar to private pools but are controlled by a smart contract. They also reward using BPTs and allow anyone to contribute liquidity to the pool.

Balancer

Ontology is a project designed to bring trust, privacy, and security to Web3 through decentralized identity and data solutions. It is building the infrastructure to provide trusted access to Web3, allowing individuals and enterprises to rest assured that through regulatory compliant digital identity solutions, users and their privacy come first.

The Ontology blockchain is a high speed, low cost public blockchain. It is designed to bring decentralized identity and data solutions to Web3, with the goal of increasing privacy, transparency, and trust. To achieve this, users and enterprises are provided with the flexibility to build blockchain-based solutions that suit their needs, while also ensuring regulatory compliance. Through Ontology’s Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Ontology ensures frictionless compatibility with Ethereum, the first step in the creation of the Ontology Multi-Virtual Machine and further interoperability for the chain.

At its launch, Ontology chose to forego the popular initial coin offering (ICO) model in favor of a series of community distributions and airdrops of its ONT cryptocurrency.

This helped to quickly establish both organic price discovery and a passionate community and helped the project to avoid subsequent regulatory scrutiny.

For example, for a brief period any person who signed up for the Ontology newsletter received an airdrop of free 1,000 ONT, which reached a value of $10 per token soon after the token became listed on major exchanges like Binance.

Ontology launched its own MainNet on June 30, 2018 and has been up and running smoothly since.

Ontology

SXP is the native utility token of the Solar blockchain. Users can stake it to secure the network and earn rewards, and pay transaction fees on the Solar blockchain. They can also help govern the Solar blockchain by proposing and voting on changes to the protocol, and earn rewards for providing liquidity. Additionally, Solar DApps use SXP as their primary currency.

Solar

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

SushiSwap (SUSHI) is an example of an automated market maker (AMM). An increasingly popular tool among cryptocurrency users, AMMs are decentralized exchanges which use smart contracts to create markets for any given pair of tokens.

SushiSwap launched in September 2020 as a fork of Uniswap, the AMM which has become synonymous with the decentralized finance (DeFi) movement and associated trading boom in DeFi tokens.

SushiSwap aims to diversify the AMM market and also add additional features not previously present on Uniswap, such as increased rewards for network participants via its in-house token, SUSHI.

SushiSwap

Shentu Chain, a security-first, delegated proof-of-stake blockchain, for trustworthy execution of mission-critical applications, including DeFi, NFTs, and autonomous vehicles. Shentu Chain prioritizes cross-chain compatibility, built as a Cosmos Hub with full EVM and Hyperledger Burrow compatibility, as well as compatibility with eWASM and Ant Financial’s AntChain. Across protocols, blockchain projects can receive security insights with the Security Oracle, which provides real-time guards of on-chain transactions, identifying and flagging a wide range of malicious vulnerabilities before they occur. Depending on the level of the security score, audited blockchain projects of any protocol may be eligible for a ShentuShield membership, which is a flexible, decentralized reimbursement system for any crypto asset that is irretrievably lost or stolen due to security issues. ShentuShield memberships are open to all community members of these eligible blockchain projects, providing a safety net to holders of crypto assets in case anything unexpected happens.

Natively, projects can code in DeepSEA, a hyper-secure programming language supported by the Ethereum Foundation, Qtum Foundation, and IBM. DeepSEA works directly with the Shentu Virtual Machine (SVM), which is fully compatible with EVM. SVM innovatively exposes smart contract and blockchain security information, enabling unprecedented ways to access, check, and incorporate risk into the decisions of smart contracts.
CTK is the native digital utility fuel of Shentu Chain, serving as the core utility for on-chain functionalities such as operating the Security Oracle and ShentuShield systems, paying gas consumption of Shentu Chain, and voting for governance decisions within the network.

Shentu

My Neighbor Alice is a farming-themed play-to-earn builder game built on Chromia. The game bills itself as a place where “players can buy and own virtual islands, collect and build exciting items while also making new friends.” Each player has their own avatar representing them in the game, which they can modify as they please. Players can buy virtual real estate from Alice, the game’s eponymous central figure, or the internal marketplace. All purchased land is represented as an NFT.

My Neighbor Alice aims to introduce blockchain to millions of players and targets a diverse gaming community within the traditional gaming market. Although the game is blockchain-based and integrates DeFi features, it does not require prior knowledge of cryptocurrency and blockchain. My Neighbor Alice takes inspiration from several popular sources. For instance, daily in-game tasks and social aspects are inspired by Animal Crossing, whereas Minecraft serves as a role model for building mechanics. The artwork was inspired by the Swedish children’s book Pettson and Findus.

MyNeighborAlice

Launched in 2020, Dego Finance is a decentralized ecosystem that offers a diverse combination of non-fungible token (NFT) and decentralized finance (DeFi) tools. It is an independent, open NFT ecosystem.

The 1inch Network unites decentralized protocols whose synergy enables the most lucrative, fastest, and protected operations in the DeFi space.

The 1inch Network's first protocol is a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator solution that searches deals across multiple liquidity sources, offering users better rates than any individual exchange. The 1inch Aggregation Protocol incorporates the Pathfinder algorithm for finding the best paths across over 400+ liquidity sources on 12 chains: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Optimism, Arbitrum, Fantom, Gnosis Chain, Klaytn, Aurora, zkSync and Base.

In just over two years the 1inch DEX aggregator has reached 1M users and surpassed $150B in overall volume on the Ethereum network alone.

The 1inch Limit Order Protocol facilitates the most innovative and flexible limit order swap opportunities in DeFi. The protocol’s features, such as dynamic pricing, conditional orders, and extra RFQ support, power various implementations, including stop-loss and trailing stop orders, as well as auctions.

The 1inch Wallet is a multichain mobile platform that provides an easy-to-navigate interface with secure storing, transaction, and staking capabilities. This versatile wallet was built from the ground up to streamline interacting with 1inch’s features.

The 1INCH token is the governance and utility token of the 1inch Network. 1INCH holders can stake their tokens to participate in the 1inch Network's DAO governance, including the 1inch DAO Treasury management. Also, holders can choose resolvers and earn a part of their fees.

With the 1inch Fusion, users can stake 1INCH tokens to receive Unicorn Power (UP), then subsequently delegate their UP to any 1inch Fusion Resolver to start receiving rewards from them. When staking, there is the option to set a custom or preset lock period. User’s st1INCH tokens cannot be unstaked/withdrawn without penalty until the designated lock period expires.

In December 2020, 1inch raised $12 million in Series A funding, led by Pantera Capital, with others including ParaFi Capital, Blockchain Capital, Nima Capital, and Spartan Group. The funding round was conducted through a SAFT (simple agreement for future tokens) sale.

In December 2021, 1inch has closed a $175 million Series B round, led by Amber Group. Among about 50 investors that participated in the funding event are Jane Street, VanEck, Fenbushi Capital, Alameda Research, Celsius, Nexo, Tribe Capital and Gemini Frontier Fund.

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:

PancakeSwap

Qtum (pronounced ‘“quantum”)  is a proof-of-stake (PoS) smart contract open-source blockchain platform and value transfer protocol. It aims to bring together the strengths of Bitcoinand Ethereumin one chain. Qtum is built on Bitcoin's UTXO transaction model, with the added functionality of smart contract execution and DApps. Recently, the platform added support for DeFi applications. As of March 2021, there are more than 20 tokens created on the Qtum blockchain.

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

The project was announced in March 2016 and held an ICO a year after, in March 2017, which brought its founders $15 million USD. The Qtum main chain was released on Sept.13, 2017. Initially, the Qtum coin was issued as a ETH-20 token, but with the launch of the mainnet, it was converted to native blockchain.
