Jet is a decentralized borrowing and lending protocol built for speed, power, and scalability on Solana. We’re here to add jet fuel to the fire of the DeFi revolution. The protocol’s native token will innovate on battle tested governance models from existing protocols, skewing towards community ownership and engagement. The most important aspect of this governance-first approach is to build an inclusive community to research, design, and implement useful lending products. A Jet user can borrow against over-collateralized debt positions, and may incur debt up to governance mandated debt ratios. If the value of a user’s deposited collateral falls under the specified ratio, their position is able to be liquidated by external actors, such as traders or any users who can call the smart contract. In addition to lending, Jet will introduce interest rate product secondary markets on Serum and facilitate ongoing community-driven lending product research & development.

Decentralized lending protocol on EOS where users act as depositors or/and lenders at the same time. Depositors provide liquidity to the market to earn passive interest income; borrowers can utilize excessive and keep their loans without a specific time limit. Interest rate curve parameter: when the utilization rate rises, the larger the interest rate curve parameters, the faster the interest rate accelerates. When a user deposits, the system acquires the price of pztoken, then calculate the amount of pztoken required. Pztoken is an interest bearing token, it grows value as interest accumulate. Pztokens could be transferred, traded, or collateralized. One who owns pztokens have the right to claim the deposited tokens. The value of pztokens will compound every 15mins. The health factor corresponds to the degree of safety of debt. When the health factor breaches 1, the debt position will face liquidation.

Fortress enables investors to lend and/or borrow cryptocurrencies by pledging the platform an overcollateralized amount of cryptocurrency. This provides investors with the ability to lend assets and earn a compounded annual percentage yield (“APY”) that is paid for by the borrowers. Fortress does this by utilizing money markets, which are pools of assets with algorithmically derived interest rates based on the supply and demand of each asset. Investors can lend or borrow assets on Fortress and earn or pay interest without ever needing to negotiate anything such as the maturity date, interest rate, or collateral with a peer or a third party. Fortress takes this one step further by introducing a synthetic stablecoin, FAI.

The Parrot Protocol is a DeFi network built on Solana that will include the stablecoin PAI, a non-custodial lending market, and a margin trading vAMM. These are all use cases designed to solve one single problem: making value locked in DeFi systems accessible. Today billions of dollars of value are locked in hundreds of DeFi systems and converted into different yield generating tokens, such as the Uniswap LP tokens, or the AAVE interest-bearing tokens. There aren’t many use cases available for these LP tokens. The value locked in DeFi as LP tokens are inaccessible because their risks are opaque, and their units of account unsuitable for human consumption. The Parrot Protocol is setting out to make value locked in LP tokens accessible, by creating a liquidity & lending network collateralized by these LP tokens. Create a margin trading product (virtual AMM) using PAI as the common unit of account.

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.

Ondo Finance makes decentralized finance available to anyone, providing users with a choice between downside protection and higher returns. Ondo splits pooled LP assets into multiple investment classes. Ondo Finance allows crypto-asset investors to trade the risk and reward balance of pooled assets. Existing yield in crypto-asset markets is in the form of volatile rates derived from a complex source of inputs. Ondo significantly broadens the investor base that can capitalize on these yields by establishing fixed yield positions with reduced risk and comprehensible exposure, while simultaneously providing new forms of leveraged exposure to experienced crypto-asset investors. In this implementation we restrict investors into two groups: fixed and variable yield positions. The fixed yield position will receive a fixed percentage over its initial investment. The variable tranche will receive all excess returns after the fixed yield receives its payout.
