 | Sometimes I feel that this subreddit is still stuck in 2017 talking about dead coins, whereas there’s this whole wonderful world of defi and web3 filled with life changing gains that I never see talked about here. But I want that to change so I’m putting together this huge list of all the cool things you can do in defi and web3. Trustless LoansDefi is revolutionary for this. With Maker (or many other protocols), you can deposit collateral & take a loan on your assets to use in the real world wherever. This process involves no bank, no intermediary fees and offers much higher yield than trad finance. In fact, Tesla just did a real estate backed loan with maker dao. Anchor protocol on Terra also allows you to take a 75% LTV loan on LUNA and staked ETH. Anchor protocol : Guaranteed 20% interest savings account Speaking of Anchor protocol, you can get a safe 20% yield on the UST stablecoin. I’ve been doing it for over a year. There are rumors that the yield will deplete because of low reserves and not enough loans but it has been replenished and been going strong for years so until the yield is not worth it anymore, all my stable cash is parked in Anchor. LotteryWant to join the lottery? Well, PoolTogether isn't just any lottery. It's a DeFi protocol allowing for "no loss lotteries." How? Users are able to deposit funds, & yield is given to a verifiably random address in the pool. Losers can then still withdraw their assets. Aave Flash loansIf I told you that you could get millions of dollars in assets in seconds, with no bank, with no collateral, and at no risk to the lender... I'd probably sound crazy, right? Well, flash loans on Aave are built to be repaid in the same tx, otherwise it'll revert and fail. You can do this to perform arbitrage trades and other cool things. GamblingWant to place a bet? There are many options to choose from on Ethereum, the most popular being augur. This is a global, no-limit betting platform where you can bet on sports events, economics, world events, and a whole lot more on a decentralized marketplace. Yield farmsNot interested? Do you prefer to just hodl your coins and not think about them? Why not earn some passive interest in the process! Head over to YFI & join the yield farms, with many different options to choose from. The YFI community works hard at developing strategies for their vaults, acting like a high interest savings account. Users can deposit & immediately start earning yield! DEX liquidity providingSpeaking of liquidity mining... Do you have assets that you’re bullish on and that you want to put to work? Many DeFi protocols such as Uniswap, Sushiswap, & Curve are in need of liquidity. Deposit tokens of your choice to start earning yield in different tokens, & earn trade fees on swaps! Careful though as this exposes you to impermanent loss. Lido (staked eth)Do you hate having to worry about opportunity cost of locking up your eth? Of course, that's not a problem for DeFi. Simply access liquid staking derivatives in order to unlock liquidity and put it to use. sETH represents staked ETH on Lido. After depositing, these sETH can be used in DeFi. CurveThis protocol is an absolute behemoth with about $20 billion in TVL making it the largest protocol by total value locked. Visit Curve to start earning complex, double digit yields on your holdings. Curve has incentivized stablecoin pools, which people use to trade high volumes with minimal slippage, and even conduct arbitrage for yield. You can stake your CRV tokens on convex finance to earn yields from curve trading volume and bribes from protocols trying to incentivize liquidity. This is a whole rabbit hole that I will make another post about. AbracadabraHave some more appetite for risk? Go beyond just yield farming and take on leveraged yield farming! Some protocols allow users to deposit interest-bearing assets, and borrow stablecoins Tokens earning yield on CRV can be used as collateral for Abracadabra, for maximized composability. BalancerWant to balance pools?Balancer is a liquidity provision dapp allowing users trade on various tokens. Rather than swapping tokens in several pools, Balancer only ever transfers the net amount of tokens out of a single pool, resulting in significantly cheaper trades. Synthetic stocks/forexWant to trade other real world assets on the blockchain? Synthetix offers a platform for users to swap various synthetic tokens like stocks, forex, or even precious metals! They use oracles which take data off-chain and bring them on-chain to offer tokens which are pegged to real life assets... Defi pulse indexDon’t want to think about it all too much and just wanna passively invest in an index? Of course it's possible. There are a handful of DeFi native indexes that offer exposure to a basket of assets in a single, convenient token. This can be an index of the top tokens in DeFi, a basket of NFTs, or anything else you could imagine. DYDXWant to trade with leverage? DYDX offers the perfect interface for this! On it, you can trade perpetuals at any time on a variety of different contracts that are supported. It uses StarkWare's layer 2 solution for increased security, fast withdrawals, and cheap trades. AirswapWant to swap tokens p2p? AirSwap offers a unique P2P DEX: entirely open-source, supporting gas-less swaps. You can set up a trust-less trade with any counter-party, to conduct swaps that will only occur once specified conditions are met. This is perfect for OTC. Fixed forexWant to trade various forex currencies? Fixed Forex provides an alternative to USD denominated stable coins. It allows liquidity providers exposure to currencies such as EUR, KRW, GBP, CHF, AUD, and JPY. On the DEX, you can make trades with no slippage & minimal fees. BarnbridgeWant to tokenize your risk? Barnbridge is a fluctuations derivatives protocol for hedging yield sensitivity and market price for assets. Using tranched volatility derivatives, Barnbridge lets you clarify the exposure to risk you want to take on a specific token. GnosisWant a multi sig? Gnosis provides a dApp for easily making multi-signature wallets that require multiple addresses to approve a transaction. This is especially useful for project treasuries, daos, and anything else you could imagine. These are customizable in many unique ways. [link] [comments] |
