What Is Unbound Finance (UNB)?
Unbound Finance is a decentralized liquidity protocol that seeks to focus on mobilizing funds locked in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. The blockchain-based protocol seeks to add an additional treasury layer on top of automated market makers (AMM) protocol on decentralized crypto exchanges (DEX) that issues a decentralized receipt for user funds in the liquidity pool. An AMM is a protocol that automates the pricing of digital assets on DEXs using mathematical formulas. Likewise, Unbound Finance aims to create compatible products for the DeFi ecosystem.
According to the whitepaper, Unbound Finance aims to create synthetic assets, oracle price feeds, and financial instruments for compounding margin trades and yield farming. A yield or liquidity farm is a pool where crypto holders can stake their tokens in return for rewards. Unbound Finance seeks to allow users to stake liquidity pool tokens to create synthetic assets that enhance the network's liquidity. Likewise, the platform aims to build a debt-free ecosystem, where users may have a lower risk in providing liquidity.
UNB is the native cryptocurrency and the governance token of Unbound Finance. Users need UNB tokens to partake in the decisions regarding issues of the network. Likewise, the UNB token seeks to enable proportional voting on essential policies and proposals. UNB tokens are built on two architectures – ERC-20 for the Ethereum network and BEP-20 for the BSC network. Unbound Finance also issues UND for the staked liquidity pool tokens, a stablecoin pegged to the US Dollar that users can redeem once the platform unlocks the staked digital assets.
