Unlocking Next DeFi Growth through Leverage - TOKEN2049 Dubai 2024
Explore the future of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) with Aur, CEO of Stella, as he unpacks the intricate evolution of leverage in the DeFi ecosystem at TOKEN2049 Dubai 2024. This presentation delves into the transformative journey from the pioneering leverage strategies of Alpha Homora, the first leveraged yield farming protocol on Ethereum, to the current innovations aimed at overcoming existing limitations in the sector.
In this insightful session, Aur walks through the conceptual shifts from traditional leverage techniques—primarily based on lending-borrowing protocols like Compound and Aave—to innovative models such as on-chain leverage and the introduction of Stella, which provides leverage at zero upfront cost, aligning incentives between borrowers and lenders. As he elucidates the persistent challenges, including liquidity scaling and borrower-lender dynamics, Aur unveils Stella's approach toward achieving sustainable and scalable leverage.
Key to future growth, according to Aur, is the transition towards synthetic leverage and liquidity solutions characterized by Peer-to-Peer (P2P) interactions and just-in-time asset availability. Highlighting the continued dominance of centralized exchanges in trading volume, Aur makes a case for harnessing both centralized and decentralized liquidity pools seamlessly, thus leveraging cross-chain capabilities.
Concluding with a glimpse into Stella’s future endeavors labeled "Leverage 3.0," Aur envisions a universally accessible liquidity infrastructure. This architecture would empower developers to create front-end trading applications with unparalleled leverage capabilities, positioning Stella as a Citadel-equivalent in the DeFi space.
