Please describe your proposed solution

A multi-asset liquidity pool is a crucial concept in decentralized finance (DeFi), similar to an ETF, as it allows the bundling of different asset classes into a single pool. This setup not only enables users to hedge their investments but also transforms the pooled assets into a new exchangeable asset that can serve as arbitrage pools, such as for standard DEXs.

In doing so, liquidity providers (LPs) can earn transaction fees. While the impact of implementing such a tool on Cardano's DeFi market is uncertain, we believe it is valuable to explore the potential of this DeFi structure on our blockchain.

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

This novel concept creates new financial opportunities for market participants in DeFi.

Success and Impact can be measured in terms of TVL, volume, earnings, and fees generated.

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

Our team has a proven track record over the past 2+ years delivering quality products on Cardano. Our mission has always been to improve Cardano’s DeFi and NFT ecosystems and to create value for the community.

Our NFT DEX, whose beta up to this point has simply been a proof of concept, has already done over 2.3 million ADA in volume to date. We are accountable to our community to keep creating valuable products for the Cardano ecosystem. We have just released a major overhaul of this platform, where anyone will be able to provide liquidity. This marks a huge step forward for the ecosystem.

Our team has decades of valuable experience in multi-billion dollar tech, retail, and aerospace companies, and we are highly-qualified to build performant and robust products on Cardano.

How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

The proposed budget conforms with industry standards for highly skilled software development. Our team has a proven track record of consistently delivering top-notch products on Cardano. We believe that multi-asset liquidity pools, as the first implementation of their kind in the cryptocurrency sector, will attract significant interest to Cardano. This technology will create novel ways for users to interact not only with Cardano Native Assets, but also for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).
