Self Protocol is an identity verification system that leverages zero-knowledge proofs to enable Sybil-resistant token distributions and user authentication without compromising personal data. By validating user attributes such as age or location through passport verification, Self Protocol ensures that decentralized applications can authenticate real users while maintaining privacy.
Seamless Protocol distinguishes itself as the first decentralized, non-custodial lending and borrowing platform on the Base network, with its novel Integrated Liquidity Markets (ILMs) for undercollateralized, permissionless loans. Governed by the community via the SEAM token, it fosters a democratic, decentralized approach to DeFi, emphasizing user engagement in governance without the need for external fundraising. Governance combines offchain and onchain processes, with delegation enabling voting and proposal creation.
DeFiLlama provides transparent, real-time data on over 3,000 DeFi projects across 240+ blockchains, helping users make informed decisions. Its open-source approach encourages community collaboration to ensure accurate and comprehensive analytics. DeFiLlama operates without a formal governance structure, does not have a native token, and is self-funded through various grant initiatives.
