Yearn Finance optimizes DeFi yield farming through products like Vaults and Earn, automating strategies to maximize user profits while minimizing complexity and gas costs. Governed by YFI token holders, proposals for protocol changes start on the Yearn Finance forum and require over 50% YFI holder approval to pass. The revamped tokenomics introduce a Vote Escrow mechanism for YFI stakers. Founded by Andre Cronje, Yearn Finance did not raise funds or reserve tokens, operating uniquely without private or public funding rounds.
Orange Finance is a leading liquidity management protocol, focusing on LPDfi strategies to improve capital efficiency for LPs. It introduces features such as single-asset deposits, auto-rebalancing, and delta hedging to manage impermanent loss and enhance profitability.
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.
Divvi enables protocols to define specific metrics they wish to incentivize, allowing builders to earn rewards based on the incremental value they generate on-chain. This system ensures that those who contribute to the ecosystem's growth are fairly compensated, fostering innovation and broader adoption of decentralized technologies.
