Ethereum provides an open platform that can easily store financial transactions.  From a financial technology perspective, it provides the clearinghouse that all actors in the world agree is the “state of the world” — there is no need for a central intermediary (lawyers, bankers, accountants) to establish the mechanism for who owns what and how that asset is safely transferred.

A decentralized adaptive organization delivering Layer2 Ethereum Plasma scalability as global public utility.

We build a Plasma chain to give scalable dApps a home to live in. All members are here to grow as professionals and have fun at the same time. We reward contributions with bounties.

Ethereum, being the first world computer, has spurred a cambrian explosion of dApps. Yet its capacity is limited — when gas prices surge, high-transaction-volume use-cases and low-value transactions are pushed off the chain.

LeapDAO exist to create and maintain an execution environment to host these use-cases, by this increasing the capacity of Ethereum and widening the scope of possible Dapps in the Ethereum ecosystem.

As a Decentralized Adaptive Organization, we combine Holacracy and Decentralized Organizations to build a global, self-managing and purpose-driven community. We reward contribution using bounties.

Curve is an exchange liquidity pool on Ethereum (like Uniswap) designed for (1) extremely efficient stablecoin trading (2) low risk, supplemental fee income for liquidity providers, without an opportunity cost.

Curve allows users (and smart contracts like 1inch) to trade between DAI and USDC with a bespoke low slippage, low fee algorithm designed specifically for stablecoins. Behind the scenes, the liquidity pool is supplied to the Compound protocol, where it generates income for liquidity providers.

Curve is currently in alpha - the codebase will be published on Github in the next 48 hours, and an external audit will begin in the near future. Please don’t supply your life savings, or assets you can’t afford to lose, to Curve, especially as a liquidity provider.

Using Curve as an exchange user should be significantly less risky, but this is not advice.

Noah Zinsmeister is senior engineer at Uniswap Exchange; creator of Web3-react; co-author of ERC-1484.

I graduated from Columbia in 2016, where I studied economics and math. After a close call with an econ PhD I became fascinated with cryptocurrencies, and have since gone fully down the rabbit hole. Right now I'm a Senior Engineer at Uniswap, a decentralized exchange built on Ethereum.

I have a B.A. in Economics-Mathematics from Columbia University. After graduating I spent nearly two years at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York working as a Senior Research Analyst in the Money and Payments Studies division. My long-standing interest in cryptocurrencies eventually led me to an engineering role at Hydrogen, where I wrote security grade smart contracts, co-authored ERC-1484 (a digital identity protocol), and developed open-source blockchain tooling. I'm now a Senior Engineer at Uniswap, a decentralized exchange protocol for trading Ethereum-based assets.

Balancer is a non-custodial portfolio manager, liquidity provider, and price sensor.

It has risen to prominence since its launch as a AMM-based DEX and it currently is one of the top DEXes in the world by Total Value Locked (TVL).

Balancer is a generalization of the AMM idea that Uniswap pioneered, allowing end users more control over the pools that can be created. A key Balancer feature is the ability to create pools with multiple assets that can have different weights rather than the more traditional asset pair that is maintained in a 50/50 ratio. Balancer supports up to 8 assets that can be weighted in different ways to create asset portfolios to express different ideas and use cases. Trading activity on a given Balancer pool will maintain the asset allocations that have been setup. Other important features include the ability for users to set the trading fee for pools that are created, as well as specifying if the pools should be public or private.
