Li.Finance
Website
Li.Finance allows cross-chain any-to-any swaps by aggregating cross-chain liquidity protocols, DEXes and lending protocols.
Note from the Developers
Li.Finance is a mesh of aggregated cross-chain liquidity networks and protocols to power next-gen DeFi projects with superior UX by making liquidity available when needed.
For starters: “Think of LiFi as a 1inch for cross-chain liquidity networks: Connext, Harmony, Biconomy, UMA, Hop, Thorchain, Anyswap, Ren, RouterProtocol, etc.“
Our Thesis
- The Future is multi chain with Ethereum being the biggest player
- Cross-chain bridging solutions will play a major role in future DeFi-Enablement and Layer 2 adoption
- Aggregation will pave the way for mass adoption of layer 2 and the multi-chain environment we’ll live in, benefitting the whole ecosystem.
Problem
The major problem is that users need to be able to move funds from chain A to chain B. No matter if they are different layer 1s or one of ETH’s layer 2 scaling solutions. Turning to bridges, adding more friction to dapp adoption than necessary and overwhelmed community managers are the current status quo. We’ll change that.
Solution
A data mesh of cross-chain liquidity sources: criss-chain liquidity networks, bridges, DEXes, bridges and lending protocols.
We’ll aggregate cross-chain liquidity networks like Connext, Hop, RouterProtocol, Thorchain, Chainflip, Anyswap, etc. to find the best possible cross-chain swap. On top of that, connect to all DEXes and DEX aggregators like 1inch and Paraswap on all chains to be able to to facilitate any-to-any swaps.
All of that will be made available on an API/Contract level, as a dapp and as a dapp-widget for other developers to be plugged-in directly into their own products. No need for users to leave dapps anymore.
Event
The project was built at EthGlobal - HackMoney 2021
