Decentralized
Finance Service Protocol
The Force Protocol, a decentralized finance service protocol built on blockchain systems, is comprised of a set of DeFi technical components and tokenized protocols.
DeFi technical components
In response to the challenges in Ethereum DApp development like difficulty in contract upgrade, fixed data structure, slow on-chain interaction, poor user experience, lack of necessary infrastructure, and security issues, the Force Protocol proposes three DeFi technical components: fundamental components, extension components, and financial components, which collectively form “The Force”.
Fundamental components
APEC
As the core on-chain structure, APEC (Assets Protected Elastic Contracts) is based on Solidity smart contract and ensures decentralization and asset ownership while making adjustment and improvement in deficiencies of contract development. It has three characteristics: asset security,upgradable logic,scalable data.
Extension components
BEAMS
BEAMS (Blockchain Enquiring, Auditing & Messaging System) is an off-chain system that works closely with contracts. They constantly monitor the operation of the contract, audit the data and assets, and accelerate the response speed of a product, making the response speed more stable, and the inevitably asynchronous feedback smoother and more fluent.
Financial components
GEL&CALM&MAK
The financial component includes three parts: Global Emergency Lockdown(GEL), Cooperative Automatic Lockdown Mechanism(CALM), and Multisig Admin Keys(MAK).These three parts protect the platform from attack and invasion, protect the assets once the platform is invaded, and minimize the loss when the assets are no longer secure.
Tokenized protocols
On the basis of The Force DeFi technology components, the development community has developed bond financing protocol, tokens lending protocol, and decentralized stablecoin protocol based on The Force Protocol. Various ecological applications of The Force Protocol can provide individuals and enterprises with crypto assets investment, financing, and transaction services to meet the digital financial needs of different users.
ChainX is an inter-chain crypto-asset financial blockchain that will become a Polkadot parachain when the platform launches Q3 2019. ChainX is one of the first blockchains built on Substrate, a framework that makes it easy to build upgradable, efficient and innovative blockchains. Substrate chains can easily be integrated into the Polkadot network at genesis.
ChainX has completed the development of BTC bridge and DEX, and we can expect BCH, LTC, ZEC bridge will be done soon because they all use similar POW consensus and UTXO transaction format. ChainX will launch at Q4 2018 and will continue to relay Ethereum and other POS chains.
Trusted and Scalable BTCLayer2Network
Chain X is the community-run layer 2 network of bitcoin, and your portal into the world of Bitcoin ecosystem.
Custodial Mode -1
V1.0 Light node + multi-signature custody scheme
We assembled Bitcoin light nodes for the first time with Wasm technology, which supports transaction proof verification and POW verification of Bitcoin block headers, with detrusted relay chain as the bridge for notification.
The implementation of light nodes on ChainX adopts the same consensus verification algorithm as the Bitcoin chain in verifying all block headers of the original chain, and ensuring data security through transaction roots and transaction signatures.
Custodial Mode -2
V2.0 Threshold Signature Custody Scheme
What remains the same with version 1.0 is that BTC withdrawal requires multiple signatures of the custodians to complete the asset transfer. What differs is that in 2.0, the threshold multi-signature technology is deployed through Taproot to replace traditional multi-signature method.
The Schnorr signature algorithm can aggregate multiple signatures into one digital signature and store it on the blockchain network. The Mast contract can achieve N/M signatures while hiding complex conditions, which greatly improves privacy protection.
Non-custodial Mode
X- Lighting
The Lightning Network is a new protocol layer built on top of Bitcoin. It uses cutting-edge smart contracts to enable faster transaction speeds and greater throughput than Visa, while retaining the peer-to-peer nature of the Bitcoin protocol.
ChainX will implement its own version of the Lightning Network protocol(X- Lighting), by offering faster and cheaper bitcoin transactions, we will open the door to a new world of bitcoin transactions, many of which are not possible with traditional financial systems.

X-Margin enables data-driven and transparent lending across CeFi and DeFi using real-time privacy-preserving monitoring.
We are a team of trading professionals, cryptographers and financial engineers committed to removing the inefficiencies that constrain markets. We see the combination of privacy preserving technology and risk management as the solution to unlocking credit. This is the foundation for the X-Margin Credit system, an end-to-end provably private risk engine.

We believe in the disintermediation of financial services and the importance of privacy. Through applications ofconfidential computing, cryptographyandzero knowledge proofs,we aim to facilitate this disintermediation. We believe our infrastructure is capable of powering the benefits of decentralized systems, absent the trade-offs required by consensus mechanisms.

Cere is a Decentralized Data Cloud (DDC) platform supported by Binance Labs. Its cross-chain compatibility with networks such as Binance Smart Chain, Polkadot, Cosmos, Ethereum and others gives Cere a unique opportunity to connect the largest corporate companies with the fastest growing decentralized ecosystems.
Cere Network Mission "not to kill these dragons, but to free you from their fangs.
Today's large technology companies maintain their dominant position as data intermediaries, collecting data on all their services from both consumers and businesses. Then they turn around and sell access to those consumers and data back to businesses.
What if two or more business partners could securely exchange data without the need for a centralized large technology platform?
They can suddenly improve the quality of customer service and expand the range of products, while maintaining user privacy. Companies are tired of expensive integration with oligopolies tied to vested interests. Cere is exactly the solution that relieves businesses of this growth pain of managing customer data.
Cere DDN (Decentralized Data Transmission Network)
We have created a decentralized Data Transmission Network (DDN) to which anyone can access or contribute with guarantees of data security and integrity. DDN is combined with Open Data Registry, a secure, anonymous and regulatory-compliant data collaboration framework that allows you to fine-tune peer-to-peer data exchange, freeing application owners and developers from the jaws of large technology data brokers.
Cere lifts the veil over the black box of customer data management and makes them transparent to the end user.
Cere will help enterprises deploy various customized compliance tools that will allow their customers to have different levels of visibility and control over the data stored in Cere DDN. This solves the urgent need of modern enterprises that pay a lot of money to maintain the compliance of their data.
On top of this infrastructure, we have created a service layer with a high degree of compatibility, which in the near future will be open to all vendors and developers who will be able to use this open framework to provide plug-in solutions for enterprises that use Cere DDN and who are striving to create a better user experience and add value to their customers.
Cere is the missing link needed by enterprises providing fully integrated solutions packaged similarly to the SaaS platforms already in use and deployed to immediately increase efficiency and reduce costs for core business units.
Marginfi, a decentralized margin protocol for trading across Solana. In a world where DeFi markets are exploding in numbers, marginfi makes it easy for traders to access margin, manage risk, and improve capital efficiency across the entire Solana ecosystem from one unified place.
Markets, markets, markets
Trading on Solana is growing at a breakneck pace. Finding a market to optimize your financial exposure has never been easier — over 100 DeFi projects are building on Solana. There are DeFi protocols to trade a multitude of tokens across spot, futures, and options markets. New primitives are enabling critical solutions to risk management — take note of anything Paradigm’s Dave White has published in the last three months (and protocols implementing these primitives like Bridgesplit and 01). Projects like cypher’s pre-public derivatives are making the un-tradable tradable and democratizing important access to exposure. The volume is staggering: Serum alone pushed nearly $2B in volume in September.
New financial products give traders more flexibility than they’ve had in the history of all of finance, and it’s incredible to see a growing ecosystem of projects powering this revolution. Protocols are finding new niches in which to specialize and adding complementary solutions in one major decentralized effort.
However, the increasing number of markets presents a critical problem: the fragmentation of the trader experience. As protocols specialize in their own product niches, traders must operate across protocols to optimize their financial exposure and access complementary products.
You can access a better financial system than ever before, but you have no way of thinking about all of your exposure in terms of one unified trading portfolio.
We believe in decentralization and the power of the new financial products DeFi is empowering. We want traders to trade the markets they need without being constrained by the operational complexity of managing their portfolio. The road to the ultimate solution will be long with many steps, but we think it’s important to start with a financial primitive that sits at the core of trading: margin.
Introducing marginfi
marginfi gives traders a global margin account for trading across all protocols on Solana. It is one place for traders to take on margin when they need it, manage margin requirements across the protocols they trade, and maximize the capital they put to work.
marginfi will empower traders to do things like:
Access the benefits of cross-margin by using profits in one protocol to offset losses in another
Borrow & lend margin under one global context
Structure complex exposure and participate in more markets
