Ethereum enabled smart contracts and DeFi. However now, native innovation will not necessarily start on Eth first and branch outwards.
I expect @avalancheavax to be home to many new 0->1 innovations in DeFi + here are 10+ UPCOMING protocols I'm bullish on

🧵👇
1/ When @avalancheavax first launched, its early DeFi protocols were mainly forks of existing protocols like @traderjoe_xyz forking Uniswap.
These were early days. Crypto was just out of DeFi summer, and the first protocols on #AVAX built 1.0 level infra: DEXs, lend/borrow, etc.

2/ Today, @avalancheavax's DeFi ecosystem is mature.
Builders start on Avalanche, bc their innovation is partly enabled by the technical specs of Avalanche itself, from consensus performance to subnet architecture.

3/ Avalanche enables new tech for a few reasons:
1. Security
2. Fast chain (high TPS, low TTF)
3. No down time
4. Enterprise friendly (parameterizable subnets)
@avalancheavax is uniquely suited for both institutions and the most permissionless + decentralized aspects of DeFi

4/ Here are some of the projects I'm most excited about.
@intainft - Enabling structured finance on-chain. They've already processed $4B of deals on Hyperledger, and now moving to permissioned subnets...

5/ Structure finance has high costs, complexity, & inefficiency. IntainAdmin brings the administration process of a structured deal on-chain. IntainMarkets is a tokenized structured credit marketplace.
6/ Next, Defyca defyca.com
Defyca is creating a liquid tokenized private debt marketplace, allowing mass scale access to private debt and its derviatives on-chain. They built the first risk-priced stablecoin bond and showcased at Avalanche Summit last spring.

7/ @TheCavalRe
Built by giga-brain, polymath, entrepreneur chad @EricForgy , CavalRe is reimagining the AMM with a new, multi-asset self-financing AMM

8/ @AmFinance_ protocol will allow borrowers in LATAM to access DeFi liquidity. These lending pools will be backed by real-world assets, giving investors access to higher yields from LATAM markets.

9/ @acumenofficial moving from Solana to deploy on Avalanche. Offering DeFi liquidity to finance SMEs in LATAM and providing real world yield to DeFi investors.
Already deployed successful deals partnering with the El Salvadorian central bank

10/ @AboardExchange has joined Avalanche, and is a order-book-style decentralized derivatives exchange.
11/ @FinanceVolare offers a limit order book options trading protocol. It also aims to provide a wide suite of new derivs in DeFi including European options, option combos, and option strategy portfolios.
12/ @ArrowMarkets is an options trading platform w/ AMM functionality. Option prices are quoted by a contingent claims automatic market maker (CCAMM), allowing users to buy or sell options without the need to be matched with other market participants.
13/ @StructFinance offers a way for users to customize interest rate products and compose them with options available in the ecosystem to construct superior structured products.
Their first of 3 products is live, with the ultimate goal to enabled structured products in DeFi.

14/ @BondiWealthSec is building an ecosystem to democratize access to hedge fund option strategies. They will have one of the first native vault products on Avalanche and offer both a gamified and traditional front-end for all types of users.
15/ @steadefi offers institutional strategies for retail through a multi-strategy robo vault. These vaults give users access to hedge fund type strategies that offer high yield with incorporated risk management.
16/ @robo_vault a personal favorite that is already live but constantly innovating and worth a mention :)
Vault protocol that uses single asset delta-neutral strategies with an inbuilt IL protection mechanism

18/ Tbh there's many many more down the pipeline. This is just a taste of some of the upcoming projects, not to mention those already deployed or will be deployed in the longer time horizon. DeFi builders are choosing Avalanche to call home because of the tech, community, and BD.
19/ TLDR; DeFi innovation no longer belongs to one chain. The tech of @avalancheavax makes it a perfect home for protocols looking to bring in RWA & institutions, as well next generation DEXs and yield gen.
New teams will start on Avalanche and for its perfect synergies w/ DeFi

20/ Big shoutout to all the founders, builders, + giga-chads that are carving out the future of finance on @avalancheavax #AVAX #defi
Also shoutout the defi folks at @avalabsofficial: @luigidemeo @MattSchmenk @chamounnadim @phillipliujr @MorganKrupetsky @exk200 @encycloplydia 🚀
