Fractional-algorithmic stablecoin protocol solution for crypto holders
About Frax
Frax is open-source, permissionless, and entirely on-chain – currently implemented on Ethereum and other chains. The end goal of the Frax protocol is to provide a highly scalable, decentralized, algorithmic money in place of fixed-supply digital assets like BTC. Frax is a new paradigm in stablecoin design. Many stablecoin protocols have entirely embraced one spectrum of design (entirely collateralized) or the other extreme (entirely algorithmic with no backing). Collateralized stablecoins either have custodial risk or require on-chain overcollateralization. Frax is the first and only stablecoin with parts of its supply backed by collateral and parts of the supply algorithmic. This means FRAX is the first stablecoin to have part of its supply floating/unbacked.

TrueFi
Meet TrueFi, the DeFi protocol for uncollateralized lending. Earn high yields on stablecoin loans and borrow capital without collateral. We’re proud to introduce TrueFi, a protocol for uncollateralized lending, and TRU, the native token used for staking and voting on loan requests. The goal of TrueFi is to bring uncollateralized lending to DeFi. This helps cryptocurrency lenders enjoy attractive, sustainable rates of return, while giving cryptocurrency borrowers predictable loan terms without requiring collateral. Importantly, all lending and borrowing activity on TrueFi is fully transparent, allowing lenders to fully understand participating borrowers and flows of funds engaging with TrueFi. Lenders (like you) add TrueUSD into a TrueFi pool to be used for lending, earning interest and farming TRU. Any unused capital is sent into the Curve protocol to maximize earnings. Borrowers (like OTC desks, exchanges, and other protocols) submit proposals to borrow capital from the pool.

Apricot
Apricot Lend provides standard lending and borrowing services: users deposit assets to earn interests, and use their deposited assets as collateral to borrow other assets. Apricot X-Farm provides cross-margin leveraged yield farming service for users to maximize yield from their existing holdings. Let's take USDT-USDC LP farming for example. In other leveraged yield farming protocols, users would need to own some amount of USDT and USDC before they can start farming the stablecoin pair. If they do not have USDT and USDC sitting in their wallet, they would have to swap other tokens into these stablecoins first. On Apricot X-Farm, users do not need to own any amount of USDT or USDC to start farming. Instead, they can collateralize their non-stablecoin assets to borrow the stablecoins with up to 3x leverage, and start farming USDT-USDC LP right away. These stablecoins will then be auto-pooled and staked for LP tokens, resulting in 3x farming yield.

mStable
mStable is an open and decentralized protocol that unites stablecoins, lending and swapping into one standard. Autonomous and non-custodial stablecoin infrastructure. mStable combines lending income with trading fees to produce higher yielding assets. Smart contract security is mStable’s first priority. The mStable protocol was fully audited by Consensys Diligence and no critical bugs were found. mStable is governed by MTA holders who have staked their tokens to vote on proposals. mStable's governance goes through a process where consensus is reached in progressively concrete stages. Proposals and ideas are surfaced on the Discord or public forum, and are finalized by on-chain signalling by MTA holders. mStable is a collection of autonomous, descentralice, and non-custodial smart contracts. It is built on Ethereum. mStable assets (hereafter mAssets) represent some underlying value peg and are minted/redeemed on-chain via smart contracts.

Venus
Venus enables the world's first decentralized stablecoin, VAI, built on Binance Smart Chain that is backed by a basket of stablecoins and crypto assets without centralized control. Funds held within the protocol can earn APY's based on the market demand for that asset. Interest is earned by the block and can be used as collateral to borrow assets or to mint stablecoins. You can now tokenize your assets utilizing the Binance Smart Chain and receive portable vTokens that you can freely move around to cold storage, transfer to other users, and more. Use your vToken collateral to borrow from the Venus Protocol instantly with no trading fees, no slippage and directly on-chain. With Venus, you have on-demand liquidity available globally.
