Astroport, a next-gen AMM that will power the most valuable DeFi ecosystem on the planet. A team of world-class builders incubated by Delphi Digital and IDEO CoLab Ventures has worked in close collaboration with Terraform Labs to completely reimagine Terra’s leading automated market maker (AMM).

The team has been working to create a product that will add significant utility to Terra users and protocols, including:

Support for new curves which will improve capital efficiency for liquidity providers (LPs) and reduce trading slippage (e.g. a Curve-inspired stableswap invariant).

A user interface and user experience that serves the needs of traders, LPs, and the community (including historical pool statistics).

Terra’s first liquidity bootstrapping pool (LBP), which will allow projects to create liquidity for their tokens with very little seed capital and provide a fair launch where bots don’t have an edge.

Backward compatibility with Terraswap message formats to enable simple integration with existing projects.

Perhaps most importantly, a governance token (ASTRO) that will provide governable LP incentives and facilitate decentralization and community governance.

ASTRO is critical to Astroport’s long-term survival. We liken Astroport to a thriving space station or port city among the stars of DeFi. Our marketplace isn’t a centralized, top-down, sterile, corporate product. It’s a public good. It’s a marketplace that’s open to all. ASTRO will coordinate the efforts of everyone in the ecosystem. Stay tuned as we’re currently developing plans for the token’s distribution with the goals of getting it into the hands of Terra’s current users, attracting new users and laying the foundation for a strong community.

Orca, The DEX for people, not programs. At Orca, we pride ourselves on designing for people, not programs. Since Orca was little more than sketches on printer paper, we’ve had an ongoing feedback loop with real DeFi users. From this, we’d like to highlight three ways that Orca seeks to provide a simpler, more human-centered experience for traders on Solana.

An open protocol to bind and scale Bitcoin and Ethereum to build fast trust-minimized trade networks.

Hashflow provides the speed, convenience, and liquidity features of traditional financial exchanges and OTC desks along with the non-custody, transparency, and solvency features associated with DEXs. Hashflow allows anyone to perform automated issuance, execution, custody, credit, clearance, and settlement functions as well as provides collateral management, transparency, audited market data, and cross-chain trading at nearly null cost using SPV Proofs and Proof of Solvency.

Zenlink is committed to building a new generation of cross-chain DEX network. By integrating the Zenlink DEX Module, Zenlink can enable parachains to quickly possess DEX capabilities and share liquidity with other parachains; Zenlink DEX aggregator can link all DEX DApps on Polkadot. Users can not only complete the exchange easily and quickly, but also enjoy a low slippage transaction experience; Zenlink native token ZLK provides a fair and transparent governance mechanism and reasonable value capture methods to incentivize ecosystem users to participate in long-term network development.

Platypus is a whole new kind of AMM for stableswap. Lower Slippage. Simpler UX. Exclusively on Avalanche.

Platypus invents a whole new AMM on Avalanche - Open liquidity single-sided AMM managing risk autonomously based on the coverage ratio, allowing maximal capital efficiency.

The key concept underpinning Platypus’ design is asset liability management (ALM). Platypus is the first of its kind to use a single-variant slippage function instead of invariant curves.

Surge is the most scalable and capital efficient decentralized exchange (DEX) on NEAR. Inspired by the design of Curve and Solidly, we’ll be introducing the vote-escrow and liquidity-directing veSurge tokens from day 1. To summarize the architecture:

- Surge holders can vote-lock their tokens for veSurge to direct pool emissions
- 100% of trading fees will be distributed to veSurge voters who vote to incentivize that pool
- veSurge holders always own the same % of supply and can never be diluted

We believe this model aligns incentives across the multiple user segments. Instead of incentivizing TVL growth, the free-market determines the most valuable pools. This means liquidity providers consistently generate attractive rewards, traders operate in a low price impact environment on the most frequently traded pairs, and protocols can vote-lock Surge to sustainably direct liquidity (forever).

This incentive model is significantly more capital efficient than existing DEX designs because the market self-regulates. Deep pools with limited trading volume will attract less veSurge votes, whereas shallow pools with high trading volume will attract more veSurge votes. Over time, the market will converge towards the optimal volume traded / TVL equilibrium.

Saddle is an automated market maker (AMM) designed to enable efficient trading between pegged value crypto assets. Saddle is launching with a tokenized bitcoin pool, allowing users to trade between and provide liquidity for tBTC, WBTC, sBTC, and renBTC.

We are launching Saddle to accelerate the DeFi ecosystem by unlocking deep on-chain liquidity between pegged value crypto assets. Saddle recently spun out of Thesis, the crypto venture studio behind projects like tBTC, Keep, and Fold.
