Current liquidity is segmented. You get to choose one of: Swaps (Uniswap, Sushiswap, Bancor, …); Options (Deribit, Hegic, Opyn, Primitive, …); Loans (Aave, Compound, DyDx, …)

Deriswap (currently under audit), combines Swaps, Options, and Loans into a capital efficient single contract, allowing interaction between the two assets that make up the pair.

Deriswap allows for a consolidated, capital efficient market for trading, Options, Futures, and Loans, allowing LPs to keep their exposure and enjoy additional fees and rewards.

MakerDAO is “Decentralized Autonomous Organization” (“DAO”) operating on the Ethereum blockchain. At its core, MakerDAO permits the creation of a decentralized ‘stablecoin’ on Ethereum called Dai. A stablecoin is a token that seeks to eliminate price volatility, effectively tracking the price of a fiat currency like the US dollar. 1 Dai = 1 USD. In contrast to Dai which is a stablecoin that is suitable for payments and savings, MKR is a token that has a volatile price because of its unique supply mechanics and role on the Maker platform. MKR is a utility token, governance token and recapitalization resource of the Maker system.

CompliFi is a derivatives issuance protocol on Ethereum with minimal governance, no counterparty risk, no margin calls or liquidations, and limited sensitivity to blockchain congestion. Holding a derivative carries two major risks – loss of value if the market moves against you, and inability to collect your full payoff if the market moves in your favour. CompliFi takes away the latter risk.

CompliFi creates a derivative by taking a fixed pool of collateral and issuing equal quantities of two derivative assets that together always have a claim on the entire pool. The first (“primary”) asset is the chosen derivative and second (“complement”) asset represents the opposite side of the trade. In other words, if you combine one unit of the primary asset with one unit of its complement, their respective risks cancel each other out - they can be exchanged back for a predetermined amount of collateral at any time.

The desired payoff profile is induced by redistributing the fixed amount of collateral between the two asset classes, depending on the change in value(s) of the instrument’s underlying variable(s). Payoff function of the primary asset is defined directly by the behaviour we want to achieve, while that of the complement asset is defined by its claim on the residual collateral after the primary asset has been paid off. 

For instance, if the primary asset is defined as synthetic BTC, a rise in price of BTC on external markets would result in the same percentage increase in the primary asset's share of collateral. The complement asset would, correspondingly, decline in value, since its share of collateral always equal 100% minus the share of the primary asset.

In other words, CompliFi redefines derivative payoff functions to fit within the confines of a fixed collateral pool - default is not possible by definition. This results in all instruments having an upper bound on their potential returns, reached when 100% of collateral has been redistributed in their favour. In practice, this does not result in significant limitations - the protocol can be used to create almost any desired risk exposure.

All ComliFi assets have a finite maturity - users are able to swap back into collateral at a pre-determined point in time. The assets are minted in the form of ERC20 tokens and are tradable on most limit order book protocols and automatic market makers.

Decentralized Finance Made Interoperable. Use any asset on any DeFi platform. Fast. Secure. Trustless.

At Interlay, we envision a future where permissioned and permissionless blockchains, regardless of design and purpose, can seamlessly connect and interact. Specifically, the open-source XCLAIM framework allows users to move assets across public/permissionless blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum in a trustless manner. Enterprises, on the other hand, can utilize XCLAIM to execute settlements across different permissioned ledgers, choosing from a palette of possible trust models based on use case and required security.

We are a team of PhD candidates from Imperial College London, who have been working and publishing on blockchain security, interoperability and game theoretic principles for the past 4-5 years. As such, at Interlay we take a research-driven approach: our product designs are bleeding-edge tech but are also backed by peer-reviewed, top-tier scientific publications.
