SnowSwap is a new decentralized exchange for swapping yield bearing stablecoins, built for yield bearing Yearn Finance assets. The aim is to eliminate steps from swapping stablecoins, when you want to swap to a different Yearn DeFi Vault. Instead of having to withdraw and deposit assets again, wasting Eth to high transaction fees. SnowSwap lets you trade between Yearn vaults directly, saving users a lot of trouble, cost, and time. SnowSwap uses Curve’s pooling algorithms but it goes well beyond just being a simple copy and paste fork. SnowSwap is an innovative use case for yield bearing stablecoin assets.

Risk Adjustment for Decentralized Finance: Saffron is a peer-to-peer risk adjustment protocol. Users customize their risk and return profiles by selecting their own degree of exposure to underlying platforms. In a decentralized way, liquidity providers (LPs), add capital to a system that requires liquidity for swaps. Yields can also be earned from lending, in which case the depositors are known as lenders. Saffron’s risk exchange allows any LP or lender to choose underlying yield and risk profiles to obtain a return based on their choice. This application provides insurance to the lower-risk tranche by offering a stablecoin as a backstop. LPs can sell insurance to lower-risk tranches and receive profit as additional yield for higher-risk tranches. This results in the transformation of yield from more risky assets into yield in a stablecoin or vice versa. DeFi-based risk adjustment platforms like Saffron have opened up new opportunities for alternative investing!
