Perpetual Protocol

Perpetual Protocol distinguishes itself in the DeFi space by offering unique perpetual futures contracts. The platform's governance, driven by PERP token holders, combines community input with team oversight, encompassing a detailed process from proposal to vote, ensuring democratic decision-making. Financially, Perpetual Protocol has shown strength, raising $1.8 million in August 2020 from notable investors, including Multicoin Capital and Three Arrows Capital, showcasing its market credibility and potential for growth in the DeFi space.

Derivatives

DexToro Protocol

DexToro is a decentralized blockchain protocol offering permissionless, non-custodial on-chain derivatives trading through its flagship product, DexToro Exchange. It combines the transparency of decentralized exchanges with the speed of centralized platforms, enabling secure trading on Ethereum using audited smart contracts. The DTORO utility token drives DexToro's ecosystem, supporting staking, trading rewards, and governance. Token holders earn protocol revenue, boosted rewards, and can vote on upgrades and listings. Backed by angel investors and venture capital, DexToro has raised $500,000 across a pre-seed round, ICO, and token sales, with plans to expand further through its ongoing Seed Round OTC Token Sale.

DEX

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

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.

Aura

Aura Finance distinguishes itself in the DeFi space by enhancing the Balancer ecosystem, offering a streamlined experience for BAL stakers and liquidity providers. It simplifies staking with tokenized veBAL (auraBAL) and boosts rewards through protocol-owned veBAL and AURA tokens, while easing participation in Balancer's gauge system. The AURA token is central to Aura's governance and incentivization, allowing users to lock tokens for governance rights and influence both Aura's and Balancer's decisions. Governance involves managing the Aura treasury, voting on Balancer proposals, and planning a transition to full on-chain voting
