Archimedes is a borrowing and lending protocol that offers high APYs by leveraging yield-bearing stablecoins up to 10x. Lenders provide liquidity to a Curve pool and earn interest through ARCH token emissions (the governance token), stablecoins, or other tokens. Borrowers pay interest upfront with no ongoing interest payments, and earn up to 10x leverage on yield-bearing stablecoins.
Everscale is a proof of stake blockchain that achieves high transaction per second rates due to a scaling technique called sharding. Sharding distributes data across multiple machines, requiring each node of the network to process only a fraction of the transactions and allowing for parallel processing of transactions. EVER is the native token that is used for both fees and governance.
Fungify is a non-custodial NFT index and algorithmic lending protocol. Users have access to NFT sales, NFT-backed loans, and a yield-bearing index token, NFT. NFTs that the protocol bought or holds as collateral are held in the MarketVault primitive. The index token, NFT, is backed by redeemable tokens in the MarketVault, with pricing based on floor values of the collections as determined by Chainlink NFT floor price feeds. FUNG is the governance token for the protocol. Sales to the MarketVault incur a 2% spread from the appraised value, which is paid to FUNG and NFT holders.
VitaDAO is a decentralized science (DeSci) company and DAO for community-governed drug development in the longevity space. The DAO funds and digitizes research in the form of IP-NFTs, and spins out new biotech companies. VITA is the governance token which is used to vote on R&D funding proposals.
YGG Japan runs a blockchain game platform for Japanese players called GabeeTown. One of the co-founders is YGG (Yield Guild Games), a DAO and play-to-earn gaming guild. The YGG token represents partial ownership in tokenized assets of the guild.
