GOLDx, a digital gold token featured by zero on-chain transaction fee and denominated in gram, is currently traded on dForce Trade, Uniswap, SENBit and DigiFinex. The soon-to-be-launched dForce Lending will support GOLDx with yield.

dForce is one of very few DeFi projects that offer incentivize plan over an extended time horizon, serving as a strategic compensation vehicle to promote long-term retention and community engagement. Among all yield-farming DeFi projects (Uniswap, Curve, Yearn, etc), dForce Liquidity Mining ranks #8 globally in terms of total value locked, according to CoinMarketCap, with Champagne Tower Pool accounting for the biggest slice of the pie.

Product Development

dForce Lending

dForce Lending is a fully open and permission-less lending protocol with more built-in risk parameters and diversified sources of capital supply (dToken pool and other sources). Positive synergies will be the holy grail and enhance integrations on liquidity and TVL levels across the networked matrix.

  • Completed architecture review and assessment
  • Coding and verification in process
  • Enter into discussions with security companies for smart contract audit.
  • Expected launch in 2021 Q1 (subject to audit process)
    Integrations with dForce

dForce announced a strategic partnership with Unisave to jointly solidify protocol integration and community engagement. Our collaboration will start from optimizing TVL and liquidity for both platforms, with Unisave vault pool supporting dToken (dUSDT, dUSDC, dDAI) as a stepping stone, and will soon extend to dForce Trade and the to-be-launched dForce Lending in terms of TVL and liquidity integrations.

YUAN is a community-driven project and an elastic token tracking Chinese Yuan/USD rate. It was built with USDx as reserve asset on rebase (same as yUSD to YAM). By supplying liquidity to YUAN/USDx on Uniswap and staking LP token through YUAN, users can earn 9.0% APY at the time of writing.
