Asymmetry Finance is a protocol designed to address concentration of the Ethereum market in Lido by driving TVL to a diverse set of liquid staked tokens (LST), while generating yield for users. Simple Asymmetry Finance Ethereum (safETH) is an LST that stakes your ETH across multiple liquid staking derivates, and has rewards built into the exchange rate. Users can mint safETH by depositing ETH into the Asymmetry dApp’s safETH vault.
AiONE facilitates the integration of artificial intelligence into user’s business workflows, allowing for customization of AI models to enable personalized recommendations. The platform’s token, AiONE, serves multiple purposes, including payment for infrastructure usage, making purchases, earning rewards through staking, participating in decision-making processes, and investing in AI projects.
Jia is a decentralized lending protocol that enables users to lend to, sponsor, and partner with micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises in emerging markets. Lenders deposit capital into and earn interest from lending pools. Sponsors put up collateral on the behalf of borrowers who would otherwise be considered too risky for a loan. Partners refer prospective borrowers to Jia. Jia’s token, JIA, is distributed to users for participating in all areas of the protocol (on-time loan repayments, providing capital or collateral, etc.). JIA can be staked to earn rewards, and once the protocol achieves a full launch and stabilization, governance of the platform will be transitioned to the token holders.
