PRESS RELEASE

The Lendefi Protocol introduces secured lending to give lenders much-needed confidence in a highly volatile crypto market. The project offers traditional and private lenders access to higher interest rates while shielding them from crypto market fluctuations. It also provides secure lending opportunities by eliminating any counterparty risk between the lender and borrower. Lendefi works by guaranteeing lenders a variable interest secured by the liquidity provided on the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem in top protocols such as Uniswap and PancakeSwap. On the other hand, borrowers benefit from a wide variety of supported digital assets to invest in by borrowing funds from the Protocol. The Alpha Version of the Lendefi Protocol is Complete! The Lendefi Protocol is proud to announce the integration of new developments and initiatives geared toward adding value to the project. For starters, the project has completed the Alpha version of its Protocol as per the timeline provided on the Lendefi roadmap (i.e., by the end of Q1, 2021). The Alpha, a fork of Compound that integrates a custom borrowing component to facilitate undercollateralized lending, is now available on GitHub . The project has engaged a new enterprise development team ( DeepDive.Tech ) to take the Lendefi Protocol from its current Alpha version to a much superior level. Deep-dive.Tech has a strong track record of building smart, intuitive, complex blockchain solutions. They tap the latest technologies and industrial-grade practices to rapidly incorporate new ideas into their solutions, aided by their vast private legacy repository of blockchain and API solutions. The Lendefi team will work closely with their new counterparts to deliver an Enterprise Grade solution built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). The decision not to deploy this Alpha version on the BSC blockchain stems from discussions between the dev teams, a ground-up build. This resolved to shift from ETH due to the high gas fees charged for transactions in the network. Mounting transaction fees on Ethereum undermine the ability of DeFi projects built on the blockchain to function efficiently/economically and provide an undercollateralized lending platform to various segments of the market. BSC offers the most developed and cost-effective DeFi infrastructure outside of the Ethereum network. The chain’s viable costs across varied transaction scales give it the edge over ETH and allow Lendefi to deliver a ‘financially democratic Protocol’ that benefits the community in the long run. Moving forward, the new enterprise development team will help Lendefi create a more interactive development model in the form of presentations and community voting. This approach will enable the project to tap into the diverse skill sets and industry knowledge within its communities. DeepDive.Tech and the Lendefi management team are also working on a whitepaper (to be released soon) that outlines how the Lendefi vision is transplanted and built into the BSC ecosystem. More On the BSC Migration & PancakeSwap Listing The Lendefi Protocol’s governance token (LDFI) is set to move over to BSC, allowing the community to take immediate advantage of the Binance Chain DEX ecosystem. The BEP-20 governance token will first be available on PancakeSwap , where an LP has already been launched. The BSC Bridge, which will allow the Tokenholders to convert their ERC-20 to BEP-20 (1 for 1), is almost complete and is scheduled for launch on April 5th, 2021. Lendefi token holders will then be able to use the web dApp to swap their ERC-20 for BEP-20, with only having to pay the transaction fee. They will also need to bridge, which entails locking the LDFI token on one chain (ETH) and then unlocking it on another (BSC). Migration Rewards For All Token Holders As an incentive for community members to swap their tokens, Lendefi will be running a two-tier Migration rewards program to reward both legacy and new Token Holders. The first tier will offer a prize pool of 20,000 LDFI BEP-20, randomly given to new BEP-20 holders that purchase from PancakeSwap . The second tier of the program seeks to thank existing token holders who migrate LDFI from ERC-20 to BEP-20. These users will receive 10% capped at 100,000 LDFI in total rewards for the program. It will release more details on the migration bonus program soon. Stay tuned! The Rebranding Effort The Lendefi management team has opted to take advantage of the imminent chain migration to rebrand Lendefi into something more aligned with the BSC ecosystem. The team has settled on the Lendefi Lion (LL) to represent the protocol, as it embodies self-sufficiency, pride, determination, leadership, grace, and power, attributes that best describe the project. The new Lendefi Lion telegram stickers are available here . Finally, the team has launched a new website ( Lendefi.Finance ) in line with the rebranding effort. The website design is minimalistic, easy to use, clean and organized. It also provides all the info stored with reputable 3rd parties and is primarily designed to host the Protocol application. Other Developments On The Protocol The team has chosen Gitbook , a 3rd party centralized storage repository for the decentralized protocol, as the Protocol's Wiki. The Gitbook will hold all relevant project info, links and How To's for the project; access will be managed by DAO, which will act as the gatekeeper to the storage in the future. Other developments include the development of a new Staking program that will be released in the coming weeks. This feature will allow BEP-20 Token Holders to Stake their governance tokens and enjoy a lucrative annual percentage yield (APY). Lendefi has revealed that it will also be migrating its existing liquidity rewards program on Uniswap to Pancakeswap. This will set the initial monthly rewards at 10,000$ worth of LDFI. Efforts are also underway to list Lendefi on CoinMarketCap and Coingecko. These listings will now be updated with new branding and circulating/total supply API feeds to ensure complete transparency about the token supply on a real-time basis. What's more, Lendefi has secured a listing at a reputable centralized global exchange and is in the listing process's final stages. Since the protocol now supports both ERC-20 and BEP-20 tokens, it will have more listing opportunities! Help Create and Share Lendefi Content Coming into April, the project will engage various promotional channels and begin to broadcast all that the Lendefi Protocol has to offer around a range of Telegram channels and other platforms. The crypto community can also expect more informative articles on project developments and announcements on Medium , Twitter , and Telegram . If you are interested in creating and sharing Lendefi content, please consider joining the Ambassador's program or contact the new marketing manager here

The DYP platform also focuses on defying the notion that DeFi is a space where whales have the power to control the network. The protocol guards investors against whale attacks by automatically converting all pool rewards from DYP to ETH every day at 00:00 UTC. Smart contracts then distribute wrapped Ethereum (WETH) as rewards to liquidity providers.

The Defi yield protocol (DYP) allows all users to provide liquidity while earning returns in DYP, the native ERC-20 token underpinning the project. The DYP token has been available for purchase and trading on leading Defi platform Uniswap for some time, with liquidity locked for one year with UniCrypt.
This week, DeFi Yield Protocol (DYP) announced the official launch of its staking and governance protocols. DYP is a next-gen DeFi platform that seeks to level the playing field between regular investors and whales. To this extent, the platform introduces some new strategies to push ROIs to the max while reducing investor’s exposure to risks. As such, the launch of the platform’s staking and governance Dapp is a critical step on its path to success.

Bityard is one of the leading crypto exchanges that serve traders from around the world. With a license from United States Financial Supervisory Authority (MSB), Australian Transaction Reporting and Analysis Center (AUSTRAC), Business Administration of Singapore (ACRA), Estonian Financial Regulatory Authority (MTR), Bityard is one of the few crypto exchanges that offer a legally compliant and safe environment for traders.

Gen2 Blockstone will commercialize Gen2’s groundbreaking IP which will allow for the capture of video and still imagery directly into native blockchain enabled format. This technology will permit the creation of “tamper-proof” and immutable video and pictures which can service numerous applications and industry verticals.

There have been many attempts at upgrading blockchain infrastructure, with the very first one being Lightning Network, which is arguably as old as the very first Bitcoin software released by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. Looking into Bitcoin 0.1, there is a raw draft of code that would let users update a transaction before it was confirmed.

With Bityard you’re going to have a number of advanced features and you’re going to have a number of benefits, including the security features. You will have to consider the fact that the regulations mean there is less anonymity and the withdrawal method may not be ideal, but the copy features, as well as all of the other options you’re going to get, can counter most of that.

Echo , a groundbreaking centralized cryptocurrency exchange, has announced that it will officially launch globally on May 15, 2025. The much-expected event is set to be a pivotal occasion for digital asset trading as Echo aims to establish a new industry standard. The community-centric platform promises a seamless user experience, institutional-grade security, and an ecosystem-driven approach. On the same date of the launch, Echo will conduct a public sale of its native ECHO token, with 2% of the total token supply available exclusively through the platform. The proceeds should boost the project’s development following successful early funding rounds that already secured $2.5 million in support from strategic investors. Echo stands out from other centralized crypto exchanges through its ecosystem-focused model. More precisely, it is designed to thrive on users' participation, who, in turn, benefit directly from the platform's growth and activity. The exchange proposes a transparent and intuitive environment for retail and professional traders to navigate safely and efficiently. Sam Dorrer, Chief Executive Officer at Echo, commented on Echo’s community-driven approach: "Our mission is to create a cryptocurrency exchange that truly prioritizes its users. Echo is designed to be more than just a trading platform—it’s a dynamic ecosystem that fosters long-term engagement and participation." Built for Traders by Traders The rapidly evolving digital asset landscape may seem daunting to newcomers. That’s why Echo provides easy navigation features, deep liquidity, and high-speed trade execution to simplify crypto trading for its growing community. Echo does not set entry barriers and accommodates traders of all skills and experience. Beginners can start on EchoX, the platform’s user-friendly centralized exchange. Thanks to the platform's intuitive interface, they can enjoy a smooth initiation to crypto trading. Meanwhile, institutional and seasoned investors can access Echo Pro and its advanced trading tools. The platform's modular design provides real-time analytics, market insights, and strategies to help traders make better-informed decisions. Lastly, Echo charges minimal fees of only 0.1% per transaction, ensuring all casual or high-frequency traders benefit from a competitive fee structure. The ECHO Token The ECHO token is a foundational element of Echo's unique ecosystem. It is designed as a real-yield token on Ethereum and features robust tokenomics, including a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens. The platform employs a deflationary mechanism for the ECHO token, allocating 10% of the daily revenue from both EchoX and Echo Pro to repurchasing tokens on the open market. It then “burns” the repurchased tokens from circulation to enhance scarcity and potentially ECHO’s value in the long term. ECHO token holders enjoy fee discounts, premium trading tools, and early access to new services. Moreover, they get governance rights. Therefore, they can participate in platform decision-making, such as fund allocation for the Echo Foundation. The latter will be a pool dedicated to funding growth, strategic partnerships, and other governance initiatives. Echo has allocated 2% of the total ECHO token supply for the public sale taking place on May 15, 2025. This controlled release should create scarcity and support upward price momentum while meeting public demand without diluting the token’s overall value. Revenue and Yield Generation Echo Exchange stays true to its community-focused mission by returning some trading fees to ECHO token holders. The platform distributes 50% of the fees generated from EchoX and Echo Pro as stablecoin (USDC) yields. This feature is a fundamental part of the Echo ecosystem, aligning fee generation with user rewards and ensuring the Echo community grows and thrives together with the platform. Security and Compliance Echo employs the industry’s highest security standards, including multi-layered encryption, biometric authentication, robust KYC/AML checks, and institutional-grade wallet infrastructure. These features guarantee maximum protection for Echo users and their assets. Echo operates as a designated business for convertible virtual currency under the Regulatory Framework of the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority. This status enables the platform to provide tax advantages to its EchoElite Traders under the Isle of Man PCC Structure, which means 0% capital gains tax and 0% corporate tax for crypto investments. EchoElite Traders get to keep more of their gains, accelerating the ability to compound their portfolio. The Echo Roadmap The Echo Exchange is set to follow a 3-phase development path plus a series of future integrations: Phase 1 The Launch of EchoX for basic trading and Echo Elite, with the latter providing asset custody under The Isle of Man’s PCC (Protected Cell Companies) structure. The ECHO token public sale takes place on May 15, 2025, simultaneously with the Echo exchange launch. Echo will also launch the Echo Journal to start building helpful content for its community. Phase 2 The introduction of Echo Pro for advanced trading with cutting-edge tools, such as enhanced liquidity and professional-grade functionalities. This phase will also see the expansion of yield generation models, the integration of trading bots, and additional digital asset services. Phase 3 Echo will expand into Real World Assets (RWAs) trading, leveraging tokenization to unlock traditional asset classes. At this stage, the platform will reach full integration of advanced protocols (e.g., peer-to-contract) to enhance collateralized borrowing and lending capabilities. Other planned features and integrations include: Neobank Rails will enable seamless fiat-to-token conversions with integrated banking services. Fractionalized Assets & Multi-Class Asset Choices, such as tokenizing commodities, stocks, and real estate. Collateralized and decentralized lending and borrowing capabilities through the platform’s peer-to-contract protocol. Offshore & Digitized Trust Structures will expand custody solutions via the Echo Elite framework. An Integrated Launchpad supports onboarding promising new projects to further diversify and strengthen the Echo ecosystem. About Echo Echo operates as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) for custody and exchange under the Regulatory Framework of the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority. The platform aims to reshape the crypto trading landscape through a user-driven digital asset ecosystem. Echo’s long-term goal is to establish itself as a leader in digital asset management at the intersection of traditional finance and the emerging blockchain-based economy. Echo aims to deliver a community-first trading experience that includes traders of all levels. The platform seeks to empower its members through a robust fee-sharing model, advanced financial tools, daily rewards for token holders, and maximum security for their assets. The ECHO token public sale will occur on May 15, 2025, exclusively on Echo's official platform. The organizers urge interested participants to register in advance via the Echo’s website . Since the sale follows the “first-come, first-served” rule, early registration allows investors to purchase ECHO tokens before they sell out. Those who miss out may have to resort to secondary markets, where prices will vary. For ongoing updates and community engagement, follow Echo on X (formerly Twitter) , Discord , and Telegram .
