The ultimate vision of Increment is to become a fundamental DeFi infrastructure in the Flow ecosystem, one that serves as a liquidity engine for fungible tokens, to efficiently release and leverage more capital, paving the way for further decentralized financial applications and innovations on the Flow blockchain.

Flow blockchain has been well-known for NFTs and the team behind it, i.e. Dapper Labs, creator of CryptoKitties and ERC721 standard, with a bunch of successful projects like NBA TopShot, Blocto, Rarible, ChainMonsters, Mynft, etc. launched on Flow mainnet in 2021.

Many people now bear the opinion that Flow is a blockchain built specifically for NFTs. This is only 50% true — the account system and resource-oriented model is very suitable to describe true ownership — instead of relying on a central smart contract storing ownership mappings, Flow allows storing the NFTs and digital assets directly into user accounts. It represents real ownership by granting users full control of their assets — this is a new paradigm that’s very suitable for building NFTs and scarce digital assets.

However, as a generalized public chain with the vision to power next generation apps and games, Flow has far more potential to be unleashed beyond NFTs. We do hear the voices from users and see the growing demand for decentralized financial products, but still the infrastructure is missing. Taking a retrospect of every boomed public chain, DeFi is one of the most important indispensable catalysts, specifically in areas like stablecoins, lending platforms, DEXes, yield strategies, etc. Increment Labs is building several DeFi protocols on Flow to solve the above mentioned problems, with Decentralized Money Market being the first product going public testnet launch on 02/10/2022, and a lot more to come

NEARStarter is a next generation launchpad and tokenized incubator with full capabilities and resources to support the world’s best DeFi and Web3 entrepreneurs to hyperscale and launch their projects on the NEAR blockchain. With built-in DAO mechanisms, NEARStarter functions not just as an accelerator, but also as a DEX empowered by FMFW.io’s billion-dollar liquidity.

Your DAO and its members will be primary participants, and loud voices in our community, every member doing their best to amplify the NEARStarter brand using any and all means available to them.

Please note, that only 10 spots will be initially available for DAOs through this program — anyone who does not quite fit the criteria for a DAO Ambassadorship, may well find our individual Ambassador program appealing; with many of the benefits interchangeable with DAO Ambassadors.

As a DAO Ambassador Group leader, you will receive a DAO NFT, representing the status and eligibility for Ambassador rewards for your DAO — your NFT, and therefore your DAO Ambassadorship will become active after participation in the NEARStarter private funding round. You and your DAO members will have many opportunities within the governance structure of NEARStarter, as well as involvement with new projects as we onboard them.

Ambassadors also have the opportunity to earn further rewards within the system for helping us engage and raise awareness of NEARStarter, through KPI-based token airdrops, and more targeted rewards. There are a plethora of benefits available to Ambassadors who hit, and maintain their KPIs — including, but not limited to:

• Token airdrops by completing tasks for each new project on NEARStarter;
• Numbered NFTs for members of the DAO (after one month);
• Eligibility for a token allocation for all projects incubated on NEARStarter;
• A NEARStarter contact to help direct and assist you in hitting your KPIs;
• Admission to exclusive DAO Ambassador Group communication channels;
• After three months of successfully hitting your KPI targets; you will have the chance to gain a spot in NEARStarter’s ‘Sector Synth’, allowing your DAO access to incubator governance, and private round allocations for all incubated projects.

NEARStarter DAO Ambassador Groups will be required to maintain a strong level of participation in our community, amplify NEARStarter’s own social presence, and meet certain minimum KPIs in order to maintain their Ambassadorship.

For example — each DAO Ambassador Group might receive tasks before every IDO held on the NEARStarter platform, If the tasks are completed to a satisfactory standard, the DAO will receive an airdrop of tokens to the address that holds the DAO’s NFT.

The tasks provided will evolve based on the needs of each individual project, and how they see themselves being involved with their own communities. The broad goal of a DAO Ambassador Group is to raise the NEAR community’s awareness of NEARStarter, and support the projects coming through NEARStarter’s incubation pipeline — using your own platform/s and community to amplify NEARStarter and our IDO partners to the best of your ability.

Lots of Lands received an initial development grant from Human Guild, a DAO on the Near Protocol network that helps GameFi projects on Near. As a result, Lots of Lands will be built on NEAR, a blockchain with the scalability and functionality necessary to capably handle a game of this scope.

From the whitepaper, you will get a sense of what we are working on. Players will be able to leave an indelible impact on the game, both as content creators and participants in the Lots of Lands governance DAO.Lots of Lands is an immersive NFT-based game set in the meta-earth, a world map modeled on the earth. In the game, players will be able to accumulate resources, engage in defense and expansion campaigns, form businesses with each other, trade and much more.

Development on the project started earlier this year. When picking games in the GameFi space, players generally have to choose between a true gaming experience and a DeFi protocol in the form of an unplayable game. The Lots of Lands team set out to fix that.

Soon, gamers looking to earn while they play won’t have to choose between a great gaming experience and a glorified DeFi protocol. Lots of Lands will be offering a comprehensive gaming experience backed by a completely decentralized economy.

The first step for the project was sharing the Lots of Lands vision at the ETH.Denver conference, hiring the necessary specialists — two designers, a project manager, narrative writer, full stack developer and PR and communications specialists — to see the project to fruition, putting together our whitepaper, crafting the first screenshots from meta-earth, meeting with initial investors, and securing funding for the next development steps.

Spin is a multichain DEX that makes decentralized crypto futures and options

Ratio. The ability to leverage one’s assets to their maximum potential without the interference of middlemen or custodians is one of the core principles of decentralized finance. Users are able to enjoy unrivaled customization and freedom in deciding how to best make their money work for them, without the red tape or restrictions that are found in traditional finance. We have seen an advent in development and growth over the last few years on Ethereum, allowing DeFi to see an explosion of liquidity, use cases, and volume. As this has occurred, scaling has become an issue on Ethereum as network fees and gas costs have skyrocketed as demand meets supply. Fortunately, new ecosystems are emerging on more efficient, faster, and less cost-intensive blockchains such as Solana. However, given that these ecosystems are young, we see massive growth opportunities for the development of DeFi protocols to meet user demand. This is where Ratio Finance comes in.

The Exotic platform will offer its users the opportunity to engage with these products as both buyers and sellers. For instance, users will have the opportunity to pay to receive yield or pay yield to receive market exposure. Exotic was built from the start with the goal of maximizing flexibility, meaning that users can benefit from nearly any exposure to any underlying asset, as long as the payoff is capped and that the asset in question has a reliable pricing oracle. And thanks to integration with Serum DEX, users will have the opportunity to recycle positions on the secondary market.

Zircon is a decentralized exchange on Moonbeam with an integrated Risk Separation system. Users can supply liquidity to any pair and with just one asset, without being exposed to two tokens at once. This reduces capital inefficiency and lets risk-off LPs earn fees from volatile asset pools. All while traders get cheaper fees and more liquidity.

Button Swap - a DEX aggregator built for privacy-preserving DeFi.

Button Swap combines liquidity from decentralised protocols SecretSwap and Sienna Network to get you the most lucrative swaps. It’s like 1inch and Auto Swap but with the added protection from front-running attacks by utilising Secret Network’s smart contract technology.

Button Swap analyses and simulates hundreds of thousands of possible swap paths. Once the user enters their swap details, it gathers the best possible swap paths, and then double checks them live via the liquidity pool smart contracts involved.

If the user proceeds with the swap, unless the swap returns the minimum acceptable amount, it cancels the entire swap and the funds are returned.

Fees are charged only if Button Swap returns the best aggregated swap amount. So if another protocol offers the best swap path, there are no fees.

In this example, Sienna offers the best swap path, so the Sienna path is taken and no fees are applied.

If Button Swap offers the best swap path, a fee is applied to the difference between Button. One of the swap offerings and one of the other protocol offerings. If the other protocols do not offer a swap path, a smaller percentage is applied to the entire return amount.

In this example, Button Swap offers the best swap path, so a fee is applied on the difference between Button Swap’s best return amount, versus the other protocols’ best return amount: (2,231.09229 - 1,950.920494 ) * commission.

In this example, Button Swap is the only protocol to offer a swap path, so a trading fee is applied to the entire return amount: 19,455.668039 * trading fee. These fees are based on the user’s VIP level, which is based on their balance of btn.group’s native token $BUTT.
