Backend and Frontend Development for Astaria

Astaria allows users to use their NFTs as collateral to access instant liquidity, and the recent decline in NFT sales has made the platform appealing to those seeking passive income. Co-founder and CEO Justin Bram believes that the platform will expand beyond art-based and profile picture NFTs in the next three to five years. Users can take out loans in ether using their NFTs as collateral, and the platform plans to integrate other cryptocurrencies in the future. Unlike its competitors, Astaria does not require two-way approvals to make transactions more efficient.

The funding will be used to expand the current team of eight, and the platform is expected to launch publicly in September.

The infrastructure was built using AWS - load balancer, Elastic Container Service, Simple Queue Service, S3, Lambda, Database Migration Service, EC2, API Gatway, Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK). Also worked with Subgraph and c Streaming fast Substreams. Some tasks required usage of Nestjs Rest/Graphql API.

Backend and Frontend Development for Motherboard (DAO)

New Order is a venture DAO that prioritizes incubation and acceleration of DeFi startups with a community-driven approach. Unlike traditional venture platforms that provide funding, we offer essential resources, expertise, and act as a Co-Founder to our partners. Our goal is to facilitate the cutting-edge of DeFi by embracing collaboration, non-segregation, and multi-chain technologies. We believe that the potential of decentralized finance can only be fully realized through communal contribution and joint effort, as opposed to the current oligopolistic structure of the legacy internet. Unfortunately, this vision has yet to be fully developed in the blockchain space due to the lack of interoperability. This is why New Order was created: to address the bottleneck and bring our vision to life.

The recent decentralization movement and desire for self-custody has caused a surge in individuals, capital, and operations joining DAOs. In just one year, the number of DAOs has grown from 700 to 6,000 and is expected to continue increasing due to the unreliability of custodial solutions. However, this growth has revealed a significant challenge: scaling. As the contributor base expands, operational efficiency becomes more strained due to a lack of cohesive and composable tools. Although various tools are available for DAO operations, they are not effectively linked or composed, leading to minimal benefits for DAO operators. In turn, they must use multiple supplementary software programs to compensate for the lack of features.

Without a comprehensive system, DAO operators struggle with multiple elements, leading to a focus on operationalization rather than protocol innovation and stunting growth. Motherboard aims to solve this problem by providing an all-in-one platform for DAOs. This approach allows DAO operators to free up time and build, leading to unprecedented growth for the ecosystem. In essence, Motherboard is everything needed to run a DAO in one place.

Frontend Development for HiddenHand

The Redacted platform known as Hidden Hand serves as a marketplace for governance incentives, commonly known as “bribes,” which can help protocols streamline their governance processes and engage their voters more effectively. Hidden Hand offers users the opportunity to earn additional yield on their preferred governance tokens through these incentives.

The marketplace provided by Hidden Hand is versatile and can be utilized by almost all DeFi protocols to generate more value for their token holders and accelerate the process of increasing demand for their tokens. This creates a diversified revenue stream for Redacted’s rlBTRFLY.

Furthermore, Hidden Hand is the decentralized application (dApp) that revolves around BTRFLY. Users can stake their tokens, earn incentives, and participate in governance proposals through this platform.

Built on nextjs, web3, ethers, mantine.

Backend and Frontend Development for Pirex

Pirex, a platform that offers liquid staking wrappers, auto-compounders, and yield futures for users across different projects and chains, has introduced Pirex GMX to expand its offerings. Pirex GMX aims to make it easier for GMX and GLP token holders to tap into the explosive growth of GMX, the most popular decentralized perpetual exchange on Arbitrum and Avalanche with over $500 million total value locked and facilitating over $60 billion in trading volume across 90,000 users since its inception.

Pirex GMX provides liquid wrappers for staked GMX and staked GLP, making staking these assets more accessible and providing more opportunities for users to reap rewards while maintaining liquidity access. There are two modes available for Pirex GMX: Easy Mode and Standard Mode. In Easy Mode, the yield earned by staked tokens will be automatically compounded into more pxGMX or pxGLP. In Standard Mode, the yield earned by staked GMX and GLP is converted to pxGMX and pxGLP, respectively, which can be claimed by the user.

The first Pirex liquid wrapper, pxCVX (Pirex vlCVX), has already been launched, and more are expected to follow. By the end of 2022, the Pirex team plans to release several applications that utilize the Pirex protocol, highlighting its broad utility and flexibility, and demonstrating the diverse range of applications that can be built on top of it.
