DeFi Tokens
DeFi is a term used to describe a variety of onchain applications that are geared toward disrupting traditional financial services.
Contract Libraries
Ecosystem
Components and concepts of the DeFi ecosystem:
- Assets: The item/thing which is being traded, usually represented in the form of a token.
- Primitives: The building blocks of the DeFi ecosystem whereby each protocol offers a specific financial function.
- Wallets: User owned wallets stores and manage the private keys of the user. These self-custodial wallets enable signing of transactions as well as user interaction with the DeFi protocols.
- Optimisers: are a set of applications which build on top of DeFi primitives in order to maximise returns through implementing specific strategies.
- Oracles: Data providers that enable DeFi protocols to ingest external data for logic processing within their smart contracts.
- Cross-Chain Bridges: Protocols that enable assets to be securely moved across various chains.
- Transaction Settlement: The base layer for DeFi where all transactions are finalised and secured.

Optimisers
Optimisers maximise returns on other DeFi protocols by exploiting opportunities to profit through implementing specific strategies. These apps function by aggregating data across the entire ecosystem to form an executable strategy that maximises returns for the user.
Strategies
- Maximal Extractable Value (MEV)
- Governance Boost
- Yield Vaults
- DEX Aggregators
