Serum is the world's first completely decentralized derivatives exchange with trustless cross-chain trading brought to you by Project Serum, in collaboration with a consortium of crypto trading and DeFi experts. While we built the Serum protocol, it is permissionless – we do not hold special power anymore. It is up to you, the crypto community, to use it as you will.

Cross-Chain support: A solution to the onchain stablecoin dilemma: A stablecoin that is always worth a dollar but also doesn’t rely on a bank account not getting shut down.

Orderbooks: Supporting the best technology from centralized exchanges; no need to take a step back with automated market making.

Speed: Making trades that don't cost a dollar to place or take minutes to clear.

Ref Finance is a community-led, multi-purpose Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platform built on NEAR Protocol. Ref combines several core components: a decentralized exchange, lending, a synthetic asset issuer, and more -— into a single, synchronous DeFi stack.

Ref will take full advantage of NEAR’s low fees ($0.005 per swap), one-to-two second finality, and WebAssembly-based runtime (hello, Rust smart contracts!) to rival even CEX costs and speeds and become a powerful addition to the increasingly multi-chain DeFi ecosystem.

Using the recently launched Rainbow Bridge (NEAR <> ETH), traders can utilize the billions of dollars in ERC-20-compliant assets from Ethereum, and eventually, from any chain (BSC, Polygon/Matic, Cosmos/IBC, and others) on NEAR.

Ref Finance’s first product is an automated market maker (AMM). It is similar to Uniswap, with a few changes:

- Multiple pools in a single contract. Traders can trade across pools atomically in a single transaction.
- Customizable LP fees per pool. LPs can charge higher fees for illiquid or highly volatile tokens.
Referral fees for swaps, currently set at 1 bps. Developers can earn rewards for building UIs and other applications on top of Ref Finance.
- The Ref Finance community is planning to launch a DAO on NEAR (using Sputnik DAO) to facilitate future development, upgrades, and community building. The DAO’s treasury will receive 4 bps from each swap.

The DAO will be governed by the $REF token, which will be distributed to LPs, developers, and users of the platform. The distribution details and mechanisms will be described in subsequent posts.

DODO is a new generation of on-chain liquidity solutions, which uses the proactive market maker algorithm (PMM) to provide pure on-chain and contract-fillable liquidity.

DODO accepts liquidity providers (LP) assets. It gathers funds near the market price to provide sufficient liquidity. LP may face counterparty risk, so DODO will dynamically adjust the price to encourage arbitrageurs step in to limit the counterparty risk and keep the portfolio of the capital pool unchange.
