Synthetix

Synthetix operates as a decentralized liquidity layer on Ethereum and Optimism, revolutionizing the trading of synthetic assets and perpetual futures without traditional order books. Its native token, SNX, is crucial for staking, governance, and earning a share of trading fees. The governance structure of Synthetix involves a collaborative model with community members, core contributors, and elected councils and committees, ensuring a fair and transparent decision-making process. Funding milestones include raising $250,000 in a Seed Round, $610,000 in a Pre-Sale, $23.42 million in a Private Sale, $5.3 million in a Public Sale, and $3.8 million in Partnership Incentives, along with $12 million in later funding rounds. Additionally, Synthetix's strategic collaboration with Optimism brought in an allocation of 9 million tokens, earmarked for distribution to its user base.

Derivatives

Gamma

Gamma is a decentralized protocol that simplifies access to advanced derivatives trading and risk management in crypto. It leverages automated strategies and robust risk controls to offer efficient, transparent, and secure options trading and hedging.

Onchain Tooling

Bit2Me

Bit2Me is a centralized exchange offering secure and user-friendly solutions for managing digital assets, supported by customer service and financial education. Its native token, $B2M, powers the platform, providing benefits like discounts, early access, and governance participation. Bit2Me is developing a governance page to enhance community involvement and transition toward a DAO. In June 2023, Bit2Me raised €14 million in a funding round led by Investcorp, with support from Telefónica Ventures and others. The $B2M token supply, initially 5 billion, has been reduced to 4.95 billion through a token burn, reflecting its evolving utility.

CEX

The Open X Project

The Open X Project distinguishes itself by developing intelligent contracts to facilitate the free exchange of ideas on permissionless blockchains. It integrates OpenXSwap as a comprehensive platform that combines an aggregator, NFT Market, and project management tools, encouraging knowledge exchange and collaboration. The project's native token, OpenX, incentivizes liquidity providers in Active Yield Generating Pools, with emissions decided by the core team until governance is fully implemented.

DEX

Elevate

Elevate is a decentralized cross-chain bridge that facilitates rapid, secure, and cost-effective transfers of Ethereum-native assets across various Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks, as well as Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chains.
