The platform is maintained by independent developers (notably Codecrafting of Interpop and Codecrafting Labs) and it is governed by the community of CrDAO holders. Crunchy calls its offering DeFi-as-a-Service (DaaS) because the platform enables a range of different and customizable financial activities for the Tezos ecosystem.
DeFi
DeFi is an umbrella term that refers to a vast range of Web3 applications that enable a variety of different financial services, transactions, and strategies in an open and permissionless way.
This could be anything from a simple trade between tokens, providing liquidity, or creating a token distribution farm for one’s own project, to creating leveraged positions on one’s capital, lending and borrowing, or utilizing a smart contract to vest finances over a determined period of time.
DeFi-as-a-Service
Making applications available that allow for these kinds of activities is where crunchy.network comes in. Some of the currently available tools offered by the platform include customizable token farms, a DEX aggregator, and deep freezers. Other notable tools either in development or on the horizon include a wallet tracker and NFT ‘Pie Slicer’.
Farms
Farms provide the ability for project owners and developers to offer yield farming to users. Yield farming, or liquidity mining, allows users providing liquidity on decentralized Automated Market Maker (AMM) exchanges the opportunity to lock their liquidity tokens and earn a reward token in exchange. Often, but not always, the reward token provides the user with some special benefit, such as voting rights.
DEX Aggregator
Our DEX Aggregate is the one-stop-shop for all of your Tezos DeFi trading needs. Our tool brings price and liquidity data from all major DEXs and liquidity pools across Tezos into one place, providing users a singular solution to getting the most optimized swaps on your favorite Tezos tokens!
Deep Freezers
Deep freezers, or liquidity lockers, allow project owners and developers to lock their liquidity pool (LP) tokens until a specified end date. While locked, the LP tokens cannot be transferred or removed from the liquidity pool. This should be done immediately following the creation of a liquidity pool, and provides users with trust and confidence in a project.
