DeFi applications need scalability in terms of transactions. So we have xDAI, Ethereum's less decentralized little sister. And xDAI does a good job picking up where Ethereum left off. Anything on Ethereum can be ported to xDAI, so financial apps, DAOs, and non-fungible tokens - anything that needs less security - fits perfectly. xDAI admires and depends on Eth a lot, but feels that Eth can be a little tight at times. Despite their superficial differences, they have the same long-term vision and See full review

Reserve is one of the most low-key projects in the cryptosphere. it is a stablecoin, well like no other. To begin with, RSV differentiates itself from the rest in that it is backed by heavyweights in the cryptosphere. This new stablecoin is developed according to a model with 2 tokens: the RSR and the RSV. The RSR is a utility token which guarantees colletarization of the RSV; it allows its holder to participate in the governance of the project and gives him the right to play an arbitration roleSee full review

IDEX, a leading decentralized exchange DEX, combines the technical capabilities and characteristics of a centralized exchange CEX with the security of a DEX to create an uncompromising trading experience. IDEX users benefit from low latency trade execution, standardized APIs, advanced order types and a matching engine capable of processing hundreds of thousands of orders per second. Note that within the decentralized exchanges themselves, IDEX has not been the undisputed leader for more than See full review

The Curve protocol allows exchanges between stablecoins, at the best possible rate and by limiting fees. It is therefore a decentralized exchange based on Ethereum, specializing in stablecoins. The principle of operation is based on liquidity pools, so instead of directly exchanging tokens between them, users will trade directly against a smart contract. This will recover the asset to be exchanged and return the one desired by the buyer at the current exchange rate. Curve has a particularity,See full review

Ultragate describes itself as a blockchain 3.0 solution. She develops interesting solutions, focuses on the creation of blockchain services in order to leverage her ULG token. Its mission is to make ULG a secure and fast means of payment. The token uses the PoS as a consensus mechanism, it suffices to accumulate an amount of 50,000 ULG to participate in the validation of transactions on the network against rather interesting interests. With a total supply of 32,000,000, ultragrate has developedSee full review

Loopring itself is not an exchange, but it is a platform that can help decentralized exchanges use their code. With the Loopring protocol, you don't need to depend on centralized exchanges to safeguard your assets. Loopring prevents you from sending your cryptocurrencies from your wallets to centralized exchanges. Centralized exchanges are susceptible to hackers. The Loopring protocol helps you save cryptocurrencies in your wallet and trade them without sending them anywhere. Smart contracts See full review

Wrapped Bitcoin refers to the compatible version of Bitcoin with the ERC-20 standard. Thus, the WBTC is an ERC-20 token that will always follow the price of Bitcoin. Bitcoin as we know it is not compatible with the ERC-20 standard and cannot be exchanged directly for other ERC-20 tokens in a decentralized manner without a trusted third party or through complex technical devices. WBTC's mission is to provide great liquidity, and to improve all decentralized applications. With Wrapped BTC, tradersSee full review

Compound is a major player in decentralized finance and is present in the Ethereum ecosystem with a fairly simple principle: allow users to lend their ether for interest. Note that Compound is not a peer-to-peer loan protocol, rather it works like a liquidity pool. These pools have different parameters depending on the type of token that is made available on them. These parameters are in particular the different interests of the loans of these funds, which are determined algorithmically. The loaSee full review

Uniswap is simple, it is a protocol as well as a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange platform open to all Ethereum users and which allows token swaps. The main objective of Uniswap is to guarantee maximum liquidity for these users. The protocol works thanks to liquidity pools, kinds of token reserves stored on a smart contract, which will be used to carry out trades. The exchange rate between the assets is then fixed thanks to the Automated Market Maker Using Uniswap allows for exchanges wiSee full review

Celsius Network is a platform that uses blockchain technology to enable its users to gain financial freedom by turning away from traditional banking institutions. In other words, it allows its members to borrow, pay and lend through said technology. When you deposit your coins on the platform, you get interest every Monday calculated on the annual rate and weighted. You can choose to earn interest in the loaned currency or with the platform's token: Celsius CEL. Obviously, when you opt to havSee full review

It also allows access to streaming platforms, tournaments, contests, as well as an interface for interaction between player communities and their favorite development studios. ULTRA AND ITS TOKEN UOS The UOS is the native token of the project. As of this writing, UOS is an ERC-20 token, until the Ultra blSee full review

The Balancer protocol is an actor in Decentralized Finance. It is a decentralized, non-custodial exchange that operates through community-fed liquidity pools. Balancer works like Uniswap, but with a few notable differences that make it a more flexible tool. Balancer makes it possible to use inactive capital even if it is not distributed uniformly over the different tokens, thanks to a principle of pool balancing. Which amounts to canceling outright the 50/50 ratio present on Uniswap. Unlike USee full review

Blockchains suffer a lack of interoperability, several projects like Polkadot, Ark are trying to solve the problem. To ensure interoperability, Ren opted for tokenization. Indeed, the protocol ensures the custody of the assets of the users, then creates tokenized versions of these assets, in ERC-20 tokens. Ren, in addition to seeking to resolve interoperability issues, she seeks to make decentralized finance much more accessible to the masses by removing liquidity barriers between differents bloSee full review

Metronome wants to restore confidence and guard against governance issues, this is what motivated the creation of a next-generation cryptocurrency. Metronome is the first currency to be used on various blockchains. The Metronome blockchain will therefore allow portability to token holders who will be able to switch from one currency to another. Developed by Jeff Garzik, one of the first developers to work on bitcoin. Metronome was designed to be a standalone cryptocurrency, highly resistant to gSee full review

I recently discovered the Tellor project which is an oracle for decentralized finance through Cryptopolitain and I quickly saw the potential of porojet. WHAT IS THE TELLOR PROJECT? DeFi protocols to work need outside data, for example an update of the prices of cryptos against the USD. Like ChainLink, Tellor is an oracle that is going to be applied to decentralized finance to avoid problems in protocols. Tellor provides DeFi protocols and dApps an infrastructure enabling them to make real See full review

To make it clear, COTI is the new decentralized Paypal which takes over the merchant system, etc. They use Dag technology and have created the trustChain technology which allows disputes to be settled and tokens in exchange (system mediation), suddenly, trust scoring comes into play and allows transactions to be faster depending on the number of disputes settled in its favor, and other factors. In addition Coti plans 10,000 transactions per second and plans to release a credit card, which comes See full review
