We recently released a demo video highlighting Fringe Lending’s new features. A major glimpse into what's brewing for borrowing capital in v2! This innovation brings more asset support, more security, and flexibility to Fringe. The new mechanics introduced in v2 include: * LP tokens for lending and borrowing attack-resistant decentralized back-end * Dynamic interest rates for optimal returns * Atomic loan repayments to streamline the repayment process into one action * Partial liquidations to protect borrowers from volatility Ultimately, Fringe v2's lending facility unlocks optimized returns, shielding you from market turbulence while offering a more robust DeFi lending suite.

Bridging users over from Web2 requires a user-friendly experience. We discuss user experience at a product and smart contract level with @taho_xyz 's Nico ( @Pitunia11 ). From our Ape into zkSync panel with @AcrossProtocol :

Due to oracle feed availability changes, Fringe v1 de-listed the following collateral tokens: $OCEAN $FOX $IOTX $OMG $DODO One reason we're extremely excited about our upcoming oracle model implementation is that we will reduce our reliance on third-party solutions.

WHY'S FRINGE FINANCE'S NEW PRICE ORACLE MODEL REVOLUTIONARY? With a cutting-edge price oracle model, meticulously designed to enhance security while maximizing flexibility in price source selection, we're changing the game. The core of this innovation lies in two pivotal components: price processing & price procurement. They both work synergistically to ensure robust and secure asset pricing on the platform. PRICE PROCESSING Price processing weaves different price sources and performs a series of operations on reported prices. This meticulous approach bolsters the system's protection against potential market manipulation. PRICE PROCUREMENT Price procurement governs how prices are acquired, considering aspects like user interactions and the utilization of price-updating bots. One pivotal feature? Prices can be sourced from Chainlink, Uniswap V3 and Pyth (zkSync). Post-acquisition, these prices undergo intricate processes—like applying a volatility cap—to determine the final price used for collateral assets. DIFFERENT PATHS Depending on factors such as the time since the last TWAP accumulator update, three distinct price processing paths are taken: full, partial, or non-TWAP. Each has its unique set of steps and purposes. Why all this complexity? To yield massive benefits. These steps curtail risks of price manipulation, lengthen the time-frame for attacks, and ultimately, make attacks less lucrative, deterring potential attackers. Further, Fringe's adaptability now permits the listing of fractionalized NFTs as collateral assets and broadens the spectrum of smaller-cap assets—even those without Chainlink feeds. An added boon? This model allows Fringe to extend its operations to EVM chains without Chainlink, offering a unique competitive edge. But what about liquidations? Our new model streamlines the curve, ensuring borrowers secure optimal prices for their liquidated collateral. A win-win that boosts platform adoption. Ok but isn't gas more expensive like this? While the model is revolutionary, it consumes more gas. To balance, Fringe strategically rolls out the model for specific assets based on demand, ensuring users get value without exorbitant fees. TLDR: Fringe Finance’s avant-garde price oracle model embodies a colossal leap in DeFi asset pricing. By fortifying against market manipulations, supporting diverse price oracles, and introducing myriad assets, it's genuinely a game-changer. Fringe Finance isn’t just about innovation—it’s about providing unparalleled security, utility, and value in the DeFi domain. Dive deeper into our mission and watch as we redefine DeFi for everyone!

DEMO: Fringe's AMPLIFY Leveraged Trading Platform Fringe CTO, Brian Pasfield walks you through how to use Amplify in Fringe's upcoming v2.2! Amplify empowers traders to gain leveraged long exposure to assets in a decentralized platform. Our latest video demos how the Amplify Platform lets users magnify asset exposure through leveraged long positions, multiplying potential gains from the market moving in their favor. See how to choose an asset, set a margin and multiplier, and have Fringe Amplify create a trading position proportional to the margin multiplied by the selected value. Check it out:

The Fringe Finance platform is back in full service. An issue related to an external price feed supplier retiring their $DODO price feed was solved. As such, if you still hold any DODO tokens on the platform, please get in touch with our team for us to help you withdraw them. DODO is now de-listed.

Attention community! If you have deposited $DODO as collateral to our platform, please reach out to @CarlosCanoCaballero or @EricFrin as soon as possible. We are attempting to restore our platform back to health and need you to take a quick action.

The DeFi ecosystem is ever-evolving –and our new price oracle model is one part of Fringe moving ahead of the pack. Let's explore the benefits of Fringe's innovative model for maintaining secure and accurate pricing.👇

Today, we are diving deep into the mechanics and benefits of Fringe v2's partial liquidation model. Read on, and get ready as we gear up for release!

With v2 on the horizon, we’re laying some groundwork for the next release. Fringe v3 with feature all new improvements, including: 🔮New oracle model 🌊Pooled collateral 🧑‍💻Revamped UI ⚖️Stablecoin minting (v1) ✒️Multisig DAO wallet support Are you ready?

As we prepare to launch Fringe's v2 and v3, we're also considering the future of the Fringe DAO. Brian Pasfield, CTO, expands on how delegated DAO models can enhance decentralized decision-making without sacrificing efficiency. What's your take on this strategy?

I prefer a private life but the seal is broken and that last video highlighted weaknesses to improve on. I spoke about retail facing drivers, so here’s a video discussing the more prevalent undercurrent I think will drive demand and a 10yr bull cycle for #DeFi 1/2 videos below.

Don’t forget: we’ve published a video showing v2's multisig wallets in action! Watch our CTO, Brian Pasfield, demo Fringe’s multisig wallets, powered by @WalletConnect , for DAOs as we gear up for the official release.

Fringe fam, We have received a special video message for you, directly from founder and CEO @Unbankt . Paul walks us through his journey from traditional finance to becoming an cypherpunk, learning about #Bitcoin, crypto, extrapolating basic economics concepts to DeFi, creating Fringe... and walking around with one unresolved incognita: How does DeFi achieve real product-market fit? The answer, as so happens, presented itself in a serendipitous way. Short answer: "by bringing in a whole new generation of users." Long answer: you'll have to watch the video below 😉. Don't worry, it's well worth your while! But, just in case you don't have time... TL;DR: Mak Group is releasing a new project focused on Web3 gaming, @bigaarcade , with the goal of onboarding a million users to crypto. The mechanics are simple: incentives are aligned so that gamers are rewarded for their skill, at multiple levels. The ultimate goal is to distribute earnings to as many gamers as possible, creating a seamless path from gaming to DeFi. But, what does this have to do with Fringe? Both projects' development teams are independent and will continue to be. However, BIGA will allow gamers to either offboard their earnings to a bank account, or earn yields. This is where Fringe comes along. Yield-seekers will be given a seamless way to move their earnings directly into our platform to earn yield, completing the GameFi-DeFi transition. We're certainly looking forward to it! If you're interested in being one of the first BIGA users, you can join the waitlist at
