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.
