Hourglass is a protocol that offers liquidity solutions for time-bound and semi-fungible tokens. It consists of two main components: Hourglass Boost and Hourglass RFQ. In Hourglass Boost, users time-boost their assets and receive time-bound tokens (TBTs) as receipts for assets locked in a vault earning boosted yield. Hourglass RFQ is a marketplace that connects market makers with protocols to trade these tokens, making it easier to unlock liquidity.


LayerZero is an omnichain interoperability protocol that facilitates seamless communication and data transfer across multiple blockchain networks. By enabling decentralized applications (dApps) to operate across various chains, LayerZero enhances blockchain interoperability and scalability.






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.


Sparkfi is a DeFi platform in the Sky (ex-MakerDAO) ecosystem that focuses on moving large amounts of stablecoin liquidity where it earns the best risk-adjusted return. Its three live products are SparkLend (a DAI/USDS-centric money market), Spark Savings (a non-custodial savings vault that pays the Sky Savings Rate) and the Spark Liquidity Layer, which allocates stablecoins directly into other protocols and networks.
