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!

Parallel's mission is to innovate and bring DeFi to the next level. We are creating the most secure and easy-to-use decentralized platform to empower everyone access to financial services. Simply supply the assets, we optimize the best yield for you and you don't have to do all the complicated DeFi stuff, in a secure and decentralized way. Our platform introduces a new financial primitive for staked DOT, which allows users to accrue interest from staking while still having a liquid asset not subject to lockups or lengthy unlock periods. This staked DOT financial primitive will be referred to as xDOT. Lenders will be able to earn interest income on their xDOT, and borrowers will be able to get loans against their DOT denominated in stable coins without selling their DOT. The Parallel lending protocol uses a pool-based strategy that aggregates each user's supplied assets. This lending protocol will have a DOT, sDOT, and USDT pool where users can deposit their assets and earn interest.
