As a liquid restaking token, it is crafted by the Swell Network DAO and operates on the EigenLayer platform. This innovative token allows holders to earn both Ethereum staking rewards and additional restaking rewards from EigenLayer.Web3Series A
Rifts FinanceRifts Finance is a decentralized protocol on the Solana network designed to generate yield from market volatility, arbitrage mechanisms, and synthetic wrapped assets. The protocol focuses on building non-inflationary yield streams by capturing value created during price movements between assets, instead of depending on external token emissions or liquidity incentives. Rifts introduces programmable liquidity vaults, called “Pools,” which allow users to wrap SPL-based tokens into collateralized synthetic representations known as rTokens.Web3Pre-seed

sBTCsBTC allows users to peg-in BTC from Bitcoin L1 to Stacks L2, where it can be used in DeFi protocols, lending platforms, or AMMs (Automated Market Makers). Stacks is a Bitcoin Layer 2 (L2) that brings smart contracts, DeFi, and scalable applications to Bitcoin while inheriting its security. It uses Proof of Transfer (PoX) to settle transactions on Bitcoin without modifying its base layer.Web3Series C+About this sector
Finance brings together several application categories, from staking, stablecoins and tokenization to banking, card networks and investment groups. Not every project in this collection is a blockchain protocol. The category assigned in Orbitrum provides a starting point; the individual profile explains the project itself.
How to compare projects
Compare projects with similar functions before comparing their available scores. An exchange, a payment network and a lending application should not be treated as interchangeable. Read what each evaluation covers and follow the author to understand their other published work.
