Yearn Finance

Yearn Finance optimizes DeFi yield farming through products like Vaults and Earn, automating strategies to maximize user profits while minimizing complexity and gas costs. Governed by YFI token holders, proposals for protocol changes start on the Yearn Finance forum and require over 50% YFI holder approval to pass. The revamped tokenomics introduce a Vote Escrow mechanism for YFI stakers. Founded by Andre Cronje, Yearn Finance did not raise funds or reserve tokens, operating uniquely without private or public funding rounds.

Onchain Tooling

Euler

Euler revolutionizes DeFi by letting any asset become collateral for a lending market. Lenders and borrowers get market leading risk-adjusted rates. Builders can create and manage markets exactly how they want them, with institutional-grade security.

Lending

Tenderly

Tenderly is a Web3 development platform that offers a suite of tools designed to streamline the creation and management of decentralized applications (dApps) on multiple blockchain networks. Its services include real-time monitoring, alerting, debugging, and transaction simulations, all aimed at enhancing the efficiency and reliability of smart contract development.

Onchain Tooling

Ironclad Finance

Ironclad Finance sets itself apart as a decentralized, non-custodial liquidity market protocol, allowing users to engage as either depositors, who earn passive income by providing liquidity, or borrowers, who can borrow in either an overcollateralized or undercollateralized manner. While Ironclad has not yet issued its own token, it has introduced a points system, named Embers, to reward users for borrowing and lending, hinting at a future token introduction.

Lending

Jumper

Jumper, developed by LI.FI, provides a seamless platform for moving assets across more than 30 chains, 18 bridges, and 32 decentralized exchanges making it ideal for expanding your onchain DeFi presence. Jumper operates without tokenomics, as it has no native token. Backed by a $17.5 million Series A funding round in 2023, Jumper brings LI.FI’s innovative approach to cross-chain asset transfers.

Bridge

X Protocol

X Protocol is a Web3 gaming blockchain on Base Layer 2, offering players more control and investment opportunities. It uses $KICK as its native gas token, providing stakers with benefits like airdrops and yields. Game volume supports $KICK's value through buybacks. X-Protocol raised $5 million from Dragonfly, Cogitent Ventures, and Coinfund.
