Aave offers a decentralized, non-custodial liquidity protocol for lending, borrowing, and earning interest on crypto assets. Its community-driven governance process involves AAVE, stkAAVE, and aAAVE token holders in decision-making. Ideas are discussed in the Aave Governance Forum, polled on Snapshot, and, if supported, become Aave Improvement Proposals (AIPs). AAVE tokens, capped at 16 million, are used for governance and protocol security.
MintSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) and NFT marketplace on the Mint blockchain, offering token trading, NFT transactions, and NFTFi services. As the first native DeFi protocol on Mint, it supports the development of Mint-native teams and tokens. Governance is community-driven, with MS404 token holders participating in decision-making. The platform's tokenomics feature MS404, an ERC-404 standard token combining ERC-20 and ERC-721 characteristics. The MS404 collection includes 10,000 unique NFTs, each convertible into 10,000 MST tokens, MintSwap's native currency. The total supply is fixed, with 60% allocated to mining rewards, 30% to pre-sale, and 10% to initial liquidity. MintSwap is self-bootstrapped.
Sturdy Finance introduces a new approach to creating liquid money markets for any token through a unique two-tier architecture. This design isolates risk between assets while preventing liquidity fragmentation, featuring risk-isolated pools at its base and an aggregation layer that enables lenders to choose suitable collateral assets for their deposits. The governance token of the platform, $STRDY plays a pivotal role in overseeing the Sturdy protocol's operations. Governance is primarily driven by $STRDY holders.
