Applying for a Ledn loan is easy, does not affect your credit score and requires only Bitcoin as collateral.

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.

SALT lets you leverage your blockchain assets to secure cash loans. We make it easy to get money without having to sell your favorite investment. SALT streamlines every step of the loan. The application process has been simplified by focusing on the value of the borrower’s blockchain assets instead of their credit score. Borrowers are automatically matched with capital from SALT's extensive network of lenders. SALT keeps collateral assets safe in a fully-audited, ultra-secure architecture during the life of the loan so members can borrow with confidence.

Sommelier, Move your DeFi assets into higher yields faster and cheaper.

Sommelier is a bet that Ethereum will be a dominant player in the global economy. Sommelier consists of the Cosmos Stargate SDK, its Tendermint-based consensus layer and a decentralized, bi-directional Ethereum bridge, managed by a global network of validators.

Liquidity Providers (LPs) will be able to use the Sommelier to author and execute complex, and automated financial transactions, such as portfolio rebalancing, limit orders, batched orders, as well as a host of other features that traders have come to expect from CeFi, but that are not currently available in DeFi.

Yam is an experimental protocol building upon the most exciting innovations in programmable money and governance. Built by a team of DeFi natives, it seeks to create:

• an elastic supply to seek eventual price stability
• a governable treasury to further support stability
• fully on-chain governance to enable decentralized control and evolution from Day 1
• a fair distribution mechanism that incentivizes key community members to actively take the reins of governance

At its core, YAM is an elastic supply cryptocurrency, which expands and contracts its supply in response to market conditions, initially targeting 1 USD per YAM. This stability mechanism includes one key addition to existing elastic supply models such as Ampleforth: a portion of each supply expansion is used to buy yCurve (a high-yield USD-denominated stablecoin) and add it to the Yam treasury, which is controlled via Yam community governance.

We have built Yam to be a minimally viable monetary experiment, and at launch there will be zero value in the YAM token. After deployment, it is entirely dependent upon YAM holders to determine its value and future development. We have employed a fork of the Compound governance module, which will ensure all updates to the Yam protocol happen entirely on-chain through community voting.
