1. Unlockd
Unlockd is a permissionless RWA liquidity protocol powered by advanced AI, offering a secure and cost-effective solution for borrowing against tokenized Real-World Assets and financial assets. Users can participate as depositors or borrowers, with depositors earning risk-free, auto-compounding yield directly in USDC through a Peer-To-Pool model. This model, deployed on the Ethereum Mainnet and soon on multiple L2s, is more efficient and fair than traditional Peer-To-Peer models. Borrowers can access instant loans with no fixed expiration date and fair interest rates, backed by their supported tokenized assets. Unlockd’s advanced AI optimizes loan conditions, ensuring accurate asset valuation and smart Loan-To-Value (LTV) ratios, all without the complexity typically associated with such processes.
2. WingRiders
WingRiders is a fast and innovative Automated Market Maker (AMM) decentralised exchange (DEX) built on the Cardano blockchain, offering over 400 listed Cardano native token pairs and comprehensive DeFi services on a single platform. As one of the top DEXs on Cardano by Total Value Locked (TVL), WingRiders enables seamless token-to-token swaps, not only via ADA but also across various Cardano DeFi project tokens. Built using the eUTxO model on Cardano’s main chain, WingRiders is designed to serve as a crucial infrastructure element for the entire Cardano ecosystem, allowing for easy integration with wallets, dApps, and supporting hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor. The platform is fully decentralised and trustless, with plans to expand beyond AMM and L1, potentially even surpassing Cardano itself.
3. Silk
Silk is an innovative solution that allows users to create and use personal human keys for web3 wallets on EVM chains, secured by zero trust protocols and recoverable with private identity proofs. Silk streamlines the onboarding process with a trust-minimized protocol that generates cryptographic keys from a user’s email address and password, fortified by multi-factor identity proofs. Users can interact with any cryptographic protocol or blockchain application through a simple and intuitive interface. The platform employs threshold cryptography to create key shards upon login, ensuring O(1) lightning-fast performance while eliminating single points of failure. Additionally, Silk incorporates backup security mechanisms to protect against potential 51%-like attacks. No downloads, installations, or extensions are required—users can simply sign in via a web browser and seamlessly continue their experience on mobile.
