  • 🌟 means this idea is highly encouraged to be explored

DeFi

Leverages the power of high-performance capabilities of Avalanche to build financial products that are open mobile and real.

  • DeFi Middleware: Lending platforms, Automated Market Makers on Avalanche.
  • 🌟 Liquidity/Treasury management. Tools that help automate different strategies to manage liquidity for digital assets.
  • DeFi aggregators: One of the hurdles to DeFi adoption is accessibility and understanding from users. DeFi aggregators can simplify the user experience around interacting with DeFi protocols.
  • 🌟 Tokenization of different asset classes: We’re starting to see how NFTs are being used to enable new asset classes on blockchains—and we’re just beginning to explore what’s possible. We would like to see more research around how to create and deploy new types of asset classes on Avalanche with an addressable market.
  • DeFi Dashboard: Tracking a portfolio position overtime on any of the major AMM models currently requires a separate spreadsheet. Building a tool which tracks on chain transactions plus a LP token balance would make yield farming more approachable to newcomers.
  • Undercollateralized Credit
  • Hedging for Stable PairsDerivatives Exchange
  • B2B Lending
  • Credit Scoring
  • Insurance
  • Auto-compounding for LPs - Liquidity pooling rewards often require multiple steps: claim, swap, pool, stake to farm. Can this process be automated? Consider designing in such a way that hardware wallets can easily and securely interact.

NFTs, Metaverse, Creator Economy & Games

Break the boundaries of what's possible in the world of Non Fungible Tokens and Gaming.

Examples

  • Marketplace: Platforms for creators to launch their work directly to their communities using Avalanche blockchain
  • Social media platforms: Platforms that leverage social relationships to enable collaboration between artists, creators, and their audience and also to drive co-creation, showcase and exchange NFTs.
  • Social Game
  • Incentivized and gamified-learning programs: Learning something new and technically complex can be challenging—that’s why we would like to see programs that incentivise learning and/or leverage gameplay dynamics.
  • 🌟 DAOs: Mechanisms that enable collective ownership between creators, publishers, and their audiences.
  • DAO Tooling: How do DAOs manage its members, treasury, and projects? how do DAOs and its members govern themselves to reward those who contribute? How do DAOs implement an incentive structure for its members?
  • Community-based solution: In addition, the Avalanche Foundation is interested in supporting teams that are working on any of the given requests through inclusive community-based solutions.
