Jumbo is an AMM DEX that offers a cheap, seamless, and unfettered way for anyone to trade on. By tradition, Jumbo also allows anyone to be a liquidity provider without convoluting or masquerading the mode by which any users are able to do so. Retrospectively considering some common in-design flaws of certain DEXes that by virtue of the intricacy of UX unnecessary complicate the methodology of asset-adding and/or liquidity providing, Jumbo takes under purview straightforward, automated modus operandi that preserves simple and straightforward nature. By design, Jumbo leverages Near’s architecture to fully realize the simplicity of developing, tuning, and processing that is inherently present on the Near Blockchain.

The Protocol for Decentralized Financial Derivatives. dYdX enables trustless peer-to-peer short sells and options on any ERC20 token. The protocol is open source and free to use.

dYdX is a protocol for short selling and derivatives built on the Ethereum blockchain. dYdX provides decentralized peer-to-peer shorting, lending, and options trading of any Ethereum based token. dYdX enables a wide array of financial strategies:

Short sells allow investors to profit on price decreases, and can be used for speculation or to hedge existing positions;
Fully-collateralized low risk loans for short sellers allow token holders to earn interest fees;
Options can be used to hedge positions, manage volatility, increase leverage, and more.

dYdX is fully trustless, so you’ll never need to trust your coins to an exchange or anyone else. dYdX utilizes the 0x Protocol for decentralized exchange functionality, as well as its own fully collateralized peer-to-peer lending protocol. dYdX uses off-chain order books with on-chain settlement to enable efficient markets. Using 0x orders for token exchange allows dYdX derivatives to use existing 0x buy/sell liquidity.

MultiSwap, Game Changing Multi Collateral AMM.

MultiSwap pools are multi collateral. Liquidity providers provide the collateral accepted by the pool. LP's are exposed to all the collateral in the pool, optimally. As the value of the collateral in the pool goes up or down, the LP value tracks it. Perfectly.

At the same time, MultiSwap pools are giant liquidity pools for trading. All of the collateral in the pools can be swapped just like in any AMM. Which means trading fees for liquidity providers.

LP's are the kings in MultiSwap. It is our opinion that current defi protocols don't reward LP's appropriately for their risk. Especially for farming apps. LP's are the ones funding the farms, and if the LP's aren't nimble enough, they can (and do) get burned.

MultiSwap pools, because they are multi collateral, greatly reduce the risks for LP's in all cases.

MultiSwap is easily the most LP friendly AMM in existence.

Timeswap is the first fully decentralized AMM based money market protocol which is self sufficient, non-custodial, gas efficient and works without oracles or liquidators. Timeswap’s proprietary 3 variable AMM is motivated by the constant product AMM used by Uniswap. It provides flexibility to the end user by allowing the user to decide their risk profile and accordingly set the interest rates & collateral ratio for each lending or borrowing transaction. It is minimalistic, gas-efficient and permission-less, allowing anybody to create a borrowing / lending market for any ERC-20 tokens.

Timeswap’s vision is to (i) build the most secure, self-sufficient, oracle-less money market protocol; (ii) be fully permissionless thereby unlocking liquidity for untapped long tail assets; (iii) build the most capital efficient money market using market-driven interest rates & collateral ratios.

Trader Joe is One-stop Trading Platform on Avalanche.

At Trader Joe, we’re all about trying new ideas and doing things differently. So we’re introducing a new way of farming with a twist, which we call the Farmer’s Market!

The concept is simple: every week, we choose one community farm to boost to 20x multiplier for 3 days. The goal of Farmer’s Market is to two-fold: To give a chance to smaller community farms to earn more JOE; To stimulate trading of Avalanche-native tokens.

We’ve always said one of our core values is putting the Avalanche community first. And we hope this little fun twist in yield farming will be both engaging and inclusive for the community!
