Balancer is a decentralized automated market maker (AMM) protocol for programmable liquidity, supporting various swap curves and pool types. Governance begins with a Request for Comment on the Balancer forum, progresses to a formal proposal, and is voted on via Snapshot. Voting power comes from holding BAL tokens or delegated voting power, with a quorum of 2 million veBAL needed. BAL tokenomics include a 100 million token cap and the vote-escrowed BAL system, encouraging long-term holding. Balancer has raised $32.3 million across three funding rounds, with the latest on May 27, 2021.

Bitrue’s governance model empowers its community to influence the platform's development, enhancing user engagement within its ecosystem. The company does not have public funding records.

LogX is a perp dex offering deep liquidity and an efficient leveraged trading experience, moving away from traditional reliance on external liquidity providers. It allows trading against a pool of stable assets, with innovative features like a dark oracle for price aggregation and a risk management framework.

Governance is code-centric, reflecting its early stage without a token-based decision-making process. The project has secured $6.1 million in funding from notable investors such as Sequoia Capital and Coinbase Ventures, marking its potential within the DeFi ecosystem.
