Raydium
Raydium
Raydium is an automated market maker (AMM) built on the Solana blockchain which leverages the central order book of the Serum decentralized exchange (DEX) to enable lightning-fast trades, shared liquidity and new features for earning yield. Other AMM DEXs and DeFi protocols are only able to access liquidity within their own pools and have no access to a central order book. Additionally, with the majority of platforms running on Ethereum, transactions are slow and gas fees are high. We leverage the efficiency of the Solana blockchain to achieve transactions magnitudes faster than Ethereum and gas fees which are a fraction of the cost. Raydium provides on-chain liquidity to the central limit order book of the Serum DEX, meaning that Raydium allows access to the order flow and liquidity of the entire Serum ecosystem. For traders who want to be able to view TradingView charts, set limit orders and have more control over their trading. -

PancakeSwap
PancakeSwap
The #1 AMM and yield farm on Binance Smart Chain. PancakeSwap is a decentralized exchange running on Binance Smart Chain, with lots of other features that let you earn and win tokens. It's fast, cheap, and anyone can use it. The exchange is an automated market maker (“AMM”) that allows two tokens to be exchanged on the Binance Smart Chain. On top of that, you can earn CAKE with yield farms, earn CAKE with Staking, and earn even more tokens with Syrup pools. In very simple terms, why would we want to drive a slower car that costs more to run? We're all about gamification, so we want to maximize the feedback loop of earning, staking, and earning again: BSC's superior speed and much (much much) lower transaction fees let us do this. While BSC might not have the level of adoption Ethereum does at current, we believe in Binance’s ability and drive to get it mighty close in the foreseeable future. -

mStable
mStable
mStable is an open and decentralized protocol that unites stablecoins, lending and swapping into one standard. Autonomous and non-custodial stablecoin infrastructure. mStable combines lending income with trading fees to produce higher yielding assets. Smart contract security is mStable’s first priority. The mStable protocol was fully audited by Consensys Diligence and no critical bugs were found. mStable is governed by MTA holders who have staked their tokens to vote on proposals. mStable's governance goes through a process where consensus is reached in progressively concrete stages. Proposals and ideas are surfaced on the Discord or public forum, and are finalized by on-chain signalling by MTA holders. mStable is a collection of autonomous, descentralice, and non-custodial smart contracts. It is built on Ethereum. mStable assets (hereafter mAssets) represent some underlying value peg and are minted/redeemed on-chain via smart contracts. -

Ethereum
Ethereum Foundation
Ethereum is the community-run technology powering the cryptocurrency, ether (ETH) and thousands of decentralized applications. Ethereum is a technology that's home to digital money, global payments, and applications. The community has built a booming digital economy, bold new ways for creators to earn online, and so much more. It's open to everyone, wherever you are in the world – all you need is the internet. Today, billions of people can’t open bank accounts, others have their payments blocked. Ethereum's decentralized finance (DeFi) system never sleeps or discriminates. With just an internet connection, you can send, receive, borrow, earn interest, and even stream funds anywhere in the world. Today, we gain access to 'free' internet services by giving up control of our personal data. Ethereum services are open by default – you just need a wallet. Stake your ETH to become an Ethereum validator. -

Aave
Aave
Aave is an open source and non-custodial liquidity protocol for earning interest on deposits and borrowing assets. Aave is a decentralized non-custodial money market protocol where users can participate as depositors or borrowers. Depositors provide liquidity to the market to earn a passive income, while borrowers are able to borrow in an overcollateralized (perpetually) or undercollateralized (one-block liquidity) fashion. At Aave, security is our top priority and we are constantly auditing and improving our protocol. The funds are stored in a non-custodial smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain. You control your wallet. Regulated and auditable by code. To ensure top notch security, Aave Protocol has had audits by trail of bits, open zeppelin, consensys diligence, certik, peckshield and certora. All audits are publicly available. -

Synthetix
Synthetix
Synthetix is a decentralised synthetic asset issuance protocol built on Ethereum. These synthetic assets are collateralized by the Synthetix Network Token (SNX) which when locked in the contract enables the issuance of synthetic assets (Synths). This pooled collateral model enables users to perform conversions between Synths directly with the smart contract, avoiding the need for counterparties. This mechanism solves the liquidity and slippage issues experienced by DEX’s. Synthetix currently supports synthetic fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies (long and short) and commodities. SNX holders are incentivised to stake their tokens as they are paid a pro-rata portion of the fees generated through activity on Synthetix.Exchange, based on their contribution to the network. It is the right to participate in the network and capture fees generated from Synth exchanges, from which the value of the SNX token is derived. Trading on Synthetix.Exchange does not require the trader to hold SNX. -

Yearn
yearn.finance
Yearn Finance is a suite of products in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) that provides lending aggregation, yield generation, and insurance on the Ethereum blockchain. The protocol is maintained by various independent developers and is governed by YFI holders. The first Yearn product was a lending aggregator. Funds are shifted between dYdX, AAVE, and Compound automatically as interest rates change between these protocols. Users can deposit to these lending aggregator smart contracts via the Earn page. This product completely optimizes the interest accrual process for end-users to ensure they are obtaining the highest interest rates at all times among the platforms specified above. Capital pools that automatically generate yield based on opportunities present in the market. Vaults benefit users by socializing gas costs, automating the yield generation and rebalancing process, and automatically shifting capital as opportunities arise. -

TrueFi
TrustToken
Meet TrueFi, the DeFi protocol for uncollateralized lending. Earn high yields on stablecoin loans and borrow capital without collateral.

The goal of TrueFi is to bring uncollateralized lending to DeFi. This helps cryptocurrency lenders enjoy attractive, sustainable rates of return, while giving cryptocurrency borrowers predictable loan terms without requiring collateral. Importantly, all lending and borrowing activity on TrueFi is fully transparent, allowing lenders to fully understand participating borrowers and flows of funds engaging with TrueFi. Lenders (like you) add TrueUSD into a TrueFi pool to be used for lending, earning interest and farming TRU. Any unused capital is sent into the Curve protocol to maximize earnings. Borrowers (like OTC desks, exchanges, and other protocols) submit proposals to borrow capital from the pool. -

Harvest Finance
Harvest Finance
Harvest is an international cooperative of humble farmers pooling resources together in order to earn DeFi yields. When farmers deposit, Harvest automatically farms the highest yields with these deposits using the latest farming techniques. Farming was highly manual and inconvenient for people that had a normal job and didn’t want to keep up with DeFi 24/7. We automate farming by doing regular harvesting of crops on over 100 different farms. Farm is a cashflow token for Harvest. When Harvest generates yields, 70% of these yields are used to increase the value of the deposits. Farm rewards are economic incentives provided by Harvest Finance. Farm token reward doesn't auto compound and need to be claimed if you want to deposit in the profit sharing or sell it. -
