showcase Showcase your Defi & Decentralized names & any news

[NickB]

Inspired by @capiche 's sale (congratz by the way!) and @DomainBarracksRob idea for a showcase thread, I thought I would set one up.

Courtesy of Github:

What is Decentralized Finance?
Decentralized finance (#defi) is the movement that leverages open source software and decentralized networks to transform traditional financial products into trustless and transparent protocols that operate without unnecessary intermediaries. One could envision decentralized finance impacting the financial world the same way that open source software has changed software products.

The below gives a nice breakdown on what it is all about

Late to see this, I hold quite a lot .finance

uni.finance 11,774 USD 2020-10-13 Sedo
not mine

I think there are many private sales .finance

as the Yield Farming trend is increasing, .finance will continue to soar

Nice! I have United.Finance. I wonder if that is what the "uni" is supposed to stand for?

I agree on .Finance. (I sold Rocket.Finance a few months back) I see new .finance names being used on an almost daily basis right now. Its also helping to create awareness of NGTLDs in general.

Uni means Unicorn, this is clear from the logo

No.

The "Uni" pertains to Uniswap - the oldest and most popular DeFi Trading company in the world.

Uniswap secured several rounds from Silicon Valley.

Another company using a .finance domain gets funding......

I have been testing the VIGOR and DEFIBOX protocols in recent weeks with small amounts using the WOMBAT wallet. I was checking the BLOKS.io block explorer for my wallet and noticed a very small deposit of 0.0001 EOS to my wallet - a fraction of a penny but I guess the website making the donation considers it a marketing cost. Given the keywords In the domain I do not intend to visit the site.

In my Trust wallet I once received an unfamiliar token. I researched it and from what I could gather it is an apparent scam where attempts to sell the token involve entering into a smart contract where the other party will remove other other tokens say ETH or DAI from your wallet as well. I decided to hide that token so I no longer have to see it.

It will assumably make gaming a trading platform for in-game NFTs. I guess NFTs is the aspect of DeFi that has real potential for getting mass adopted.

Had a $105 offer via dan from what appears to be an end user for the domain deficompany (.com)

After countering was told if I ever changed my mind in the future the offer still stands but they would not budge from the $105 offer.
