Filling the Gaps of DeFi

deFIRE is leveraging Cardano’s Blockchain Blockchain Blockchain comprises a digital network of blocks with a comprehensive ledger of transactions made in a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or other altcoins.One of the signature features of blockchain is that it is maintained across more than one computer. The ledger can be public or private (permissioned.) In this sense, blockchain is immune to the manipulation of data making it not only open but verifiable.

It focuses on bridging the gap between transacting parties and ensures optimal execution of its services across DEXs.

The project is using the cross-chain liquidity of Changelly and will offer several services like order routing, token swapping and acting as the intermediary between transactions.

Commenting on the latest funding, Changelly’s CEO, Eric Benz said: “We are thrilled to announce the successful conclusion of the private round led by some of the largest and most active investors in the rapidly expanding DeFi space.”

“deFire leverages DLT and a contemporary market architecture to revolutionize the high-performance trading landscape by significantly and transparently enhancing order execution quality for institutions and individuals alike. Working alongside I am sure we will bring a lot of value and liquidity to the Cardano ecosystem.”

Furthermore, the project was incubated by Occam.Fi and is preparing to make a debut of its tokens as an IDO on OccamRazer, the fundraising launchpad of Occam.Fi.

“DeFi is growing at an accelerated pace. Cardano will be the go-to destination for massive flows of on-chain liquidity once smart contracts are released,” said Mark Berger, President of the Occam Association.
