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 the same destination, that of a decentralized blockchain future. How are xDai and Ethereum similar? Remember that without Ethereum, there is no xDai and the latter is an EVM sidechain. It operates independently of Ether but relies on it for the creation of its native token, the XDAI, as well as its multi-use governance token, the STAKE. The network follows the same protocol updates, block size limits, and EVM settings as Ethereum's mainnet. BENEFIT: Посмотреть отзыв полностью

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 role. When the RSV price is below the target value, the protocol encourages users to buy tokens to increase the price; conversely, if the price is higher than this value, they are encouraged to create new RSVs to lower the price. The Reserve project is quite simply a challenge. If the project wins its bet, it would prove that stablecoins can exist without having to rely on fiat or any asset.

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 a while. With the arrival of new, more interesting platforms for users like Uniswap, etc ... IDEX has lost ground. Despite the continued growth of decentralized exchanges, the large centralized players such as BINANCE, KRAKEN, HUOBI continue to appropriate large volumes.Посмотреть отзыв полностью

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, it allows extremely low slippage during trades. This is made possible by the function used by the protocol's automated market maker -AMM-.Посмотреть отзыв полностью

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 developed an entire ecosystem including a Jobgate freelance platform, marketgate, a marketplace and Gatecasino. Ultragate is a really interesting project: With such a total supply, a fairly concrete roadmap which provides for the reinforcement of the team, the development of a DeFi platform, a marketcap greater than 1000M by the end of 2021. Personally I will not invest in this project because for me it is not revolutionary, and such a blockchainПосмотреть отзыв полностью

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, traders can benefit from increased liquidity and participation by allowing Bitcoin enthusiasts to be integrated into the ecosystem as well. Remember that WBTC transfers between users have no direct cost, with the exception of network costs which vary according to the solutions used. Thanks to WBTC partners, 1 Bitcoin can be exchanged for 1 Wrapped Bitcoin, and vice versa. Finally, using Wrapped Bitcoin allows BTC holders to continue to hold them as assets, while using thПосмотреть отзыв полностью

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 loan is made by depositing a guarantee. The collateral funds must be greater than the borrowed funds, with a factor that differs depending on each token. The use of DeFi protocol as a compound entails risks, in particular that of liquidation, if the borrowed funds exceed the borrowing capacity on the protocol. But other risks may exist such as flaws in the smart-contracts that make up the protocol as well as the oracles that providПосмотреть отзыв полностью

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 without a trusted third party. Uniswap is very transparent due to its simplicity. Exchange pairs can be set up easily using smart-contracts available to everyone. Uniswap is a nonprofit protocol and the fees only go to users providing liquidity to the system. This allows users to pay very low fees, and therefore to carry out transactions at low cost compared to other decentralized exchanges.Посмотреть отзыв полностью

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 have interests in CEL, these are slightly more important. There is an advantage to claiming your interest in CEL: the ratio of CEL held in your portfolio can allow you to access loyalty programs that allow you to increase the amount of your interest rates. My opinion about Celsius Network Celsius Network is a good solution if you want passive crypto income, you can earn weekly interest up to 15% per year on your deposits and you can withdraw itПосмотреть отзыв полностью

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 Uniswap, where the pools always contain two tokens in the same proportions. Balancer supports pools containing up to 8 tokens and whose distribution can be customized. Balancer has its BAL governance token, the only way to receive BAL tokens is to use Balancer protocol services. It is the honeypot used to attract liquidity into its universe by rewarding their owners.Посмотреть отзыв полностью

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 blockchains. HOW REN WORKS? Ren hides quite technology sophisticated and difficult to understand. Among other things, Ren enables decentralized and trustless exchange of cryptocurrencies across blockchains using its central platform, the Ren virtual machine called RenVM. The RenVM uses a network of nodes which exploits the computing power necessary to identify and process the orders between different chains. Orders placed througПосмотреть отзыв полностью

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 governance issues and capable of lasting generations. Each person who owns a metronome chooses which blockchain they want to store it on. This is what makes the beauty of the project!Посмотреть отзыв полностью

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 data requests from this Oracle. HOW IS TELLOR DIFFERENT FROM CHAINLINK? ChainLink is a faster than decentralized project unlike Tellor which has placed more emphasis on decentralization. The ChainLink project has only a few nodes identified and authorized to publish data to the Oracle but remember that nodes are very expensive. To be a minor on the Tellor project, all you have to do is have 1000TRB to proПосмотреть отзыв полностью

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 to solve a major problem facing blockchains today. I have seen COTI develop for a while and have seen a great community forming around this project. Looking at the road traveled by COTI so far, I remain convinced that the horizon will be even more beautiful. Посмотреть отзыв полностью

AirSwap is a decentralized exchange that allows users to buy and sell ERC-20 tokens simply by setting an amount, getting a price, and making a trade, after connecting their wallet. AirSwap is compatible with various wallets including MetaMask or Ledger or trezor. The DEX does not list any tokens, but allows users to find a counterparty for trading various assets. AirSwap has its own AST token which serves as a token for market makers on the DEX. Manufacturers, who are liquidity providers, offer the bid price or the amount for which they wish to trade their asset. Anyone can be a cash provider on AirSwap DEX, just by signaling that they want to. The reporting amount is 100 AST and locking this amount allows you to report 10 transactions. Unlike decentralized exchanges, DEX eliminates the constant risk of hacking and allows individuals to exchange tokens with each other. 2020 is the year of the explosion of DeFi protocПосмотреть отзыв полностью

Ampleforth is a project that is reinventing money with its native AMPL token. Used as collateral for decentralized banking systems, ampleforth is an optimal system that establishes a stable medium of price exchange over long periods of time. WHAT MAKES AMPLEFORTH UNIQUE AND USEFUL FOR THE ECOSYSTEM? The Ampleforth project is unique compared to other crypto projects because of its distinction from other DeFi protocols, by its economic policy i.e. if the demand for AMPL increases, the supply of tokens also increases to compensate for price changes. . Like the BTC, which represents a base for an ether-resistant censorship-resistant payment rail that has taken that base even further by enabling smart contracts. Thus the primary utility of AMPL is to serve as a medium of exchange. Unlike other projects, AMPL is an ideal asset for building a digital economy. It has tПосмотреть отзыв полностью

The most important aspect of Aave is the Aave protocol which was launched in January 2020 marked by a significant change in strategy. Shifting from decentralized P2P lending to a pool-based strategy, the Aave protocol is a non-proprietary open source protocol that allows users to create their own decentralized money markets on the Ethereum blockchain. Depositors provide liquidity by depositing cryptos into loan pools which will then allow them to earn interest. Meanwhile, borrowers can get loans by tapping into these loan pools. Thanks to the explosion of DeFi, several protocols have emerged but each Protocol has its particularity. The Compound project for example has USDT as a usable asset, but Aave offers a wider range of tokens. For new users, Aave offers some very interesting incentives. Aave has proven to be a good addition to the DeFi community and should prove popular.Посмотреть отзыв полностью

Matic Network is a strong blockchain project that offers sidechain and offchain scaling solutions on the Ethereum blockchain in order to solve the problem of blockchain scalability while offering almost instant transactions. Its native MATIC token is used for staking and payment of transaction fees on its Matic Chain sidechain. Matic Network aims to tackle the other big concern of blockchain - a very poor user experience, the main obstacle to mass adoption. The project thus took up the challenges of current blockchains and tried to provide a solution to all by offering MATIC Network. In my opinion, projects like MATIC will play a very important role in decentralized finance by supporting mass adoption through the Matic chain. Посмотреть отзыв полностью
