DeFi Ecosystem Landscape

Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs): The lifeblood of DeFi liquidity, facilitating direct peer-to-peer transactions. → DeFi Portals: Aggregators that offer a suite of services from lending to staking and trading. → Launchpads & Communities: Platforms providing insights and access to emerging DeFi projects. → Token Analytics: Websites like CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, offer essential token data. → Ecosystem Aggregators: Platforms such as DeFiLama, providing deep dives into protocol metrics.

The DeFi Knowledge Gap

👉
The current DeFi ecosystem, while offering a range of tools and services, fails to address a critical gap in the market. Existing platforms focus on individual components, such as protocols, tokens, or metrics, but none provide insights on effectively combining the products of these protocols to optimize Web3 strategies.
Users are left searching for guidance on leveraging various DeFi products and creating synergies across protocols to maximize returns and minimize risks. In the absence of a trusted, unified platform, users often resort to dubious telegram groups, social media accounts, and paid services that may not have their best interests in mind.

👉
MC² Finance leverages years of crypto space experience to onboard the next 100 million users, providing essential services for ecosystem participants:

Experts (crypto-natives traders, KOLs, hedge funds)

DeFi experts (crypto-natives traders): ✕ Complex to earn from strategies, high fund set up costs. ✓ Connect your wallet, earn from positive strategies, no set up costs. ✓ Manage one wallet on a single chain - grow a community cross chain.

Partners (DEXs, wallets, DAOs, launchpads, custodians, banks)

DEXs:  ✕ Decentralised = no opinions on tokens = complex for newcomers. ✓ Offer users decentralised marketplace of opinions. ✓ Attract best traders, higher TVL, more assets and visibility. Institutional partners (custodians, banks): Barriers to DeFi, often limited to Bitcoin and Ethereum. ✓ Pre-trade compliance and look-through strategies. ✓ Offer users access to DeFi while increasing AUM. Crypto-natives communities (DAOs and launchpads) ✕ Low stickiness of users and limited product scope. ✓ Revenue share products and real-time market insights, creating better stickiness.

Users (Anyone who visits our partners' websites)

The Future of Asset Management

The opportunity of immutable, trustless, interoperable smart contracts creates faster and economically beneficial methods to access and manage investments.
→ Peer-to-peer transactions, → Digital identity & token gating, → Secure data sharing, → Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), community-based decision-making and governance, and → Asset-backed tokenization
Example use-cases for the advanced capital market products :
→ Farmers can tokenize their yield outputs on futures markets, selling their crops or livestock before they are ready for harvest. → Sports fans can develop sports team investment strategies for global events such as the World Cup, selling and investing in these spots strategies. → Investors, with one click can move assets from DeFi to traditional markets depending on inflation and growth. → Homeowners can liquify their home on-chain - ie 20% of your home you could lock into a smart contract to access and further leverage some of its value.
