Much like the Dao, Governance and NFT hubs, this section houses research and other important information related to decentralized finance (DeFi). It is also open to the public. The DeFi’ hub is primarily used for other departments to easily access and view any information relating to DeFi’.
Decentralized finance can be described as being a new financial technology. The system of DeFi aims to provide a financial space where banks and institutions do not have control.

Below is a list of all the research related to Decentralized Finance

| Research Name | Description | Discord Names | Research Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bean.Money | Beanstalk is a new and decentralized credit based stablecoin protocol that is built on Ethereum, it does not have any collateral requirements so this means that Beanstalk uses credit instead of collateral to create price stability relative to a non-blockchain-native asset, so in simpler terms it is a decentralized, uncollateralized stablecoin protocol, we will talk briefly about the critical point of this project, how to get involved and how does their ecosystem function in the appropriate sections | mayos#3529 | ‣ |
| Frax Analysis | Like Convex being an aggregator that boost yields on Curve, this report is to analyze the chance of Congruent being a similar role with the purpose to boost the yields on Frax so as to reinforce the utility of the governance token of Congruent. ($GAAS) | ||
| Also, this report will address Convex’s economic flywheel with Curve, the mechanism of Frax gauge system, Frax’s FPI system, Frax’s partnership and the opportunities on Frax’s ecosystem. | FF#0533 | ‣ | |
| Rari & Fei | Rari Capital merges with Fei Protocol. One, if not the biggest DAO-on-DAO merger so far in history of DeFi. | Chrom#0878 sanchez__#6994 | 🐂 **Rari & Fei merge report** 🦊 Fei Research |
| veBAL (balancer) | Essentially, Balancer is a AMM built on the Ethereum network (also has Poly and Arb network, but veBAL rewards are not offered on those networks, only on ETH network) that allows anyone to create or add liquidity to customizable pools and earn trading fees. Balancer is considering themselves a revolutionized Index Fund. Instead of paying fees to a broker to reallocate funds, pools are rewarded with fees and the pools are rebalanced by traders making swaps. | uhchxrlie#5065 | 💦 veBAL Research |
| Fraxswap + Fraxlend | FraxSwap is the first constant product automated market maker with an embedded time-weighted average market maker (TWAMM) for conducting large trades over long periods of time, trustless. FraxLend is a lending and borrowing platform which will be able to provide loans which will be established through smart contracts. | Mr. RkSnchz#4434 | ⛲ FraxSwap & FraxLend Research |
| TracerDao | Tracer is an open-source contract for derivatives that enables counterparties to gain long or short exposure to an underlying asset for any amount of time without the risk of getting liquidated and they do so by tokenizing the leveraged position. | kama#5009 | 💻 Tracer DAO Research |
| Gearbox Protocol | As its definition, Gearbox aids easy accessibility in transition, likewise the protocol enhances capital efficiency and generalizes leverage in a DeFi-native way allowed across DeFi protocols in a composable way. Users take leverage with Gearbox and then use it on other DeFi protocols. | sanchez__#6994 | ⚙️ GearBox Protocol Research |
