Our Technology

With decades of experience in finance and technology, our team of engineers and academic advisors are focused on Decentralized Finance (DeFi) solutions.

These solutions are designed to not only disrupt a broader system, but to enable consumers to adopt and use the new internet of money in their everyday lives.

Our blockchain protocols enable financial services solutions that are truly decentralized and run on public blockchains.

Our protocols cover the following:

LiquiFi – an ecosystem of protocols that leverage yield and capital from AMMs to create decentralized fixed income, lending, and derivatives products.

XBC-DEX – a trustless decentralized exchange that supports different blockchains to facilitate a cross-chain swap of digital assets that are issued on different blockchains without any intermediate centralized entity.

sBTC – a fully decentralized, backed by Bitcoin ERC20 token that provides both a supply peg and price peg to Bitcoin as well as option to guarantee redemption.
