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.
Layer Bank is a noncustodial on-chain lending protocol aiming to be a liquidity hub for EVM-based Layer 2 networks, offering users control over their funds with attractive decentralized market interest rates. Its tokenomics, centered around the $LAB stake, include yield boosting, revenue sharing, and a buyback and burn mechanism to support long-term growth. While governance is currently centralized with decisions made by the LayerBank team, the project has received funding from Manta Network to enhance security and expand its ecosystem.
