Emeris, Experience the Power of Cross-Chain DeFi. Created by Tendermint Inc.

Emeris is a one-stop portal for all crypto apps, no matter what blockchain they run on. Let users experience cross-chain DeFi like never before.

Emeris has a simple goal: providing access to a wide range of decentralized applications scattered around various blockchain ecosystems in a single, easy-to-use interface. Starting as a non-custodial, cross-chain DeFi dashboard, Emeris will soon extend its line of products with other entries like a mobile app and a browser extension wallet.

As for the long term vision of Emeris, it revolves around one main concept: blockchain agnosticism. Emeris seeks to integrate the best decentralized applications no matter what sector they belong to or what blockchain they run on. It will provide access to various types of protocols, from lending and yield farming to NFT marketplaces, payment applications, data storage, and many other use cases.

Interoperability is at the core of Emeris’ vision. We will prioritize integrating blockchains that have an interoperability gateway (a bridge, an IBC connection, or another type of connection) with the rest of the ecosystem. This way, users can enjoy the entirety of what the internet of blockchains has to offer, no matter which ecosystem they originally come from.

Li.Finance is a mesh of aggregated cross-chain liquidity networks and protocols to power next-gen DeFi projects with superior UX by making liquidity available when needed.

For starters: Think of LiFi as a 1inch for cross-chain liquidity networks (Connext, Hop, Thorchain, Anyswap, Ren, RouterProtocol, etc..).

The Future is multi chain with Ethereum being the biggest player. Cross-chain bridging solutions will play a major role in future DeFi-Enablement and Layer 2 adoption. Aggregation will pave the way for mass adoption of layer 2 and the multi-chain environment we'll live in, benefitting the whole ecosystem.

Protocols like Connext and Hop are focusing on bridging liquidity between EVM based chains and layer 2 scaling solutions, while Thorchain, Anyswap and others are focusing on bridging to different layer 1s. They all need to fill large liquidity pools and come at different levels of speed, security and trust. It will also take a lot of time for them to get up to speed supporting true any-to-any swaps across chains.

Users always need to find a way to get their funds from A to B and have almost no clarity about which solution or bridge to take. Dapp developers are suffering from a lot of communication overhead, trying to teach their users how to use their products and which bridges to take. A lot of friction and reduced conversion rates.

A data mesh of cross-chain liquidity sources: networks, DEXes and liquidity providers: Aggregate cross-chain liquidity pools like Connext, Hop, RouterProtocol, Thorchain, Chainflip, Anyswap, etc. and make sure to always know their liquidity pools.

On top of that, connect to all DEXes and DEX aggregators like 1inch on all chains to be able to to facilitate any-to-any swaps. For arbitrageurs and the impatient user, allow to connect to lending protocols on spot.

StableCredit is an upcoming product in research & development that combines three pillars of existing DeFi infrastructure: Minting synthetic debt (DAI, Synthetix); Decentralized lending platform (Compound, AAVE); Automated Market Maker (AMM) functionality (Uniswap, Sushiswap).

StableCredit will enable users to deposit assets as collateral and obtain a line of credit (denominated in StableCredit USD) based on the dollar value of the assets at deposit. For example, a user can deposit 100 LINK and will obtain $1,100 worth of StableCredit USD (at the time of writing LINK is ~$11). StableCredit USD can then be traded for other assets available in the protocol.

Exchange rates between StableCredit USD and assets in the protocol are determined by price feeds from oracles (Chainlink), and current utilization ratios of assets within the platform. For example, if liquidity providers have lent 100 DAI to the pool and 90 DAI is borrowed, the utilization ratio is 90%. Similar to how bonding curves work, there will then be a significant premium for any additional DAI borrowing (the cost to borrow DAI will be > $1). Users will be able to borrow up to 75% of the value of their collateral (i.e., utilization ratio of 75%).

The AMM will also support single-sided liquidity exposure for liquidity providers (LPs). Current popular AMM models, such as Uniswap and Sushiswap, require LPs to deposit both assets in a liquidity pool. For example, in a ETH-USDC liquidity pool, the liquidity provider would be required to deposit ETH and USDC in a 50/50 ratio. This increases the barrier to entry for liquidity providers and also the capital requirements. Single-sided liquidity provisioning will enable LPs to deposit only one of the assets in the liquidity pool (i.e., either ETH or USDC). As a result, the barriers of entry to be a LP will be greatly reduced, and should contribute to an overall increase in capital efficiency.
