New Protocols
(note: this includes new protocols we find through combing Twitter each day, and we also include every (newly launched) protocol added by @defillama and @debank (excluding Tomb forks/reflection tokens/etc) - hence disclaimer: these are not pre-vetted by us so make sure to DYOR frens!)
-New protocol in middle of testnet launch (if understanding right) called @DeGateDex. Twitter bio states “DeGate is Limit Orders, Decentralized. An orderbook-centric Decentralized Exchange (DEX) protocol that is powered by zk-rollups.”
-Protocol on ETH-POW called @realprotocoleth. Twitter bio states “0% interest borrowing against $ETHW…” Believe it is a Liquity fork.
-Previously-mentioned @Zircon_Finance has been added to @defillama. Again, Twitter bio states “Zircon builds #DeFi Legos for decentralized exchanges: single-token liquidity provision, bonds, and options…”
-Previously-mentioned @SonneFinance has been added to @defillama. Again, Twitter bio states “Sonne Finance is a decentralized, non-custodial liquidity market protocol on Optimism Mainnet.”
-New BSC AMM/protocol called @SymphonyBSC. Twitter bio states “Symphony Finance is a Web3 open source decentralized ecosystem built on #BNBChain.” (h/t @ApeOClock)
-New AMM on Avalanche called @AvaDex_io. Twitter bio states “The First DEX on Avalanche with Mini-Games, Liquidity mining and Trading!” (h/t @ApeOClock)
-@reserveprotocol is launching on October 10th and has been dominating the timeline when we research new protocols every day. Here’s a good thread on it from @ModestusOkoye:
