## What Is LeverFI? 

LeverFi, formerly known as RAMP DEFI, is a [decentralized](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized) [leverage](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/leverage) trading platform. In March of 2022, the team behind RAMP DEFI rebranded their company to adjust to the increasingly uncertain [DeFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/defi) market. The rebrand aims to tackle issues within the current DeFi market such as a lack of sustainable TVL and utility. 

The team behind LeverFi hopes to create a product that provides value by allowing users to trade and [yield farm](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/yield-farming) at the same time . Lenders deposit funds into lending pools and earn an interest from traders who borrow to leverage trade up to 10X. Any liquidity from lenders that are not used would be deposited into other DeFi protocols to generate more yield.

LeverFi aims to serve as a bridge for [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) and EVM-compatible chains like [BNB Chain](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bnb/), [Avalanche](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/avalanche/), [Polygon](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/polygon/), [Arbitrum](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/sushiswap-arbitrum/), [Optimism](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/optimism-ethereum/) and more.


## Who Are the Founders of LeverFi?

The Singapore-based RAMP DEFI project was founded in 2019 by Lawrence Lim and Loh Zheng Rong. Together, they re-branded the platform and launched LeverFi 3 years later. Lawrence Lim, the co-founder, began his career in 2012 in the traditional finance world. He worked in private banking and corporate mergers and acquisitions before transitioning into crypto with IOST, a blockchain network. 

Loh Zheng Rong, the co-founder and marketing lead of the project, is a graduate of the Singapore Management University with a B.B.A in Finance Wealth Management. He co-founded NOX (a blockchain infrastructure company) in 2018 and previously served as the managing partner at Merkle Ventures.


## What Makes LeverFi Unique?

The primary case for LeverFi is to establish a unique solution for traders by integrating trading and farming into a single platform. 

Users can deposit [collateral](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/collateral) as single assets, such as [Bitcoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/), [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/), [Curve](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/curve-dao-token/) [liquidity provider tokens](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-provider-tokens-lp-tokens) (LP) and [Uniswap](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/uniswap/) LP, and then unify their collateral in order to trade with larger positions.

The platform also supports users who partake in pair trading or hedging with leverage, while also allowing users to utilize the platform in conjunction with [DEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex)/[CEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/centralized-exchange-cex) derivatives.

LeverFi charges trade fees of 1% for every trade. Furthermore, LeverFi routes trade to pre-existing DeFi protocols and decentralized exchanges. For instance, when a user longs an asset on the platform, the asset is bought on a liquid secondary market via DEXs. LeverFi does not act as a counterparty to their users, and hence claims that it does not engage in “player versus player” or PvP behavior as it is a conflict of interest.

## How Many LEVER Coins Are There in Circulation?

The LEVER token is a [governance token](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/governance-token). LeverFi has a maximum supply of 35 billion tokens. Users can participate in governance of the protocol if they lock up LEVER for a period of 6 months to 48 months. Each token represents one vote and allows users to oversee issues regarding the addition or removal of collateral, lending pools, tradable assets and so forth. 


## How Is the LEVER Network Secured?

LeverFi is an Ethereum-based platform. Ethereum is secured by the Ethash [proof-of-work](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-work-pow) (PoW) [consensus mechanism](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus-mechanism). However, it has been announced that the [Ethereum Merge](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/the-eth-merge-trade) is likely to occur on Sept. 19, 2022. This would see Ethereum transition to a more energy efficient [proof-of-stake](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-stake-pos) (PoS) consensus mechanism.


## When Will LEVER Trading Begin?

The tokenswap between LeverFI and RAMP was projected to begin in June 2022 which means that at the time of writing in early August 2022, trading has already started. 


## Can LEVER Hit $1?

Four days after the Lever token was launched, the token traded at an [all-time-high](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/all-time-high) (ATH) of $0.0053. However, since then, the token has experienced a decline in value, despite witnessing a 15% spike in price following a Binance AMA promotion at the end of July 2022. If LeverFi delivers on its roadmap and continues to attract users to its platform, the protocol rewards would accrue to the LEVER token, likely making it an attractive holding. On the other hand, due to the large circulating supply, one could make the case that LeverFi will not likely hit $1.


## Where Can You Buy LEVER?

You can buy LEVER on any of the leading centralized exchanges such as [Binance](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/binance/), [Gate.io](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/gate-io/), [MEXC](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/mxc/), [Tokocrypto](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/tokocrypto/), [Bitrue](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bitrue/), [Pionex](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/pionex/), [BKEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bkex/), [Mandala Exchange](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/mandala/), [Hotcoin Global](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/hotcoin-global/), [BingX](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bingx/) and [CoinEx](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/coinex/).

Linear is a decentralized delta-one asset protocol capable of instantly creating synthetic assets with unlimited liquidity. The project opens traditional assets like commodities, forex, market indices and other thematic sectors to cryptocurrency users by supporting the creation of “Liquids” — Linear’s synthetic asset tokens.

The protocol consists of various products like Linear.Buildr, a DApp used to manage Liquids using Linear (LINA) and other tokens as collateral. The exchange is specifically created to enable trading of a variety of Liquids with rapid confirmation times and robust security.

LINA is an ERC-20 token built on the Ethereum network whose main purpose is as collateral for Liquids (using Buildr) and for community governance of the protocol. All token holders have access to the Linear DAO, enabling them to vote on different initiatives and proposals, helping to shape the development of the Linear ecosystem.

The main goal of Linear is to provide a superior user experience with better scalability and greater speed thanks to the cross-chain capabilities of the protocol. Linear Finance intends to provide a simple solution for users that want exposure to traditional assets while still benefiting from the features enabled only by blockchain technology.

Hifi is a decentralized finance protocol that allows people to lend and borrow crypto at a fixed interest rate.

Hifi is made up of decentralized interest rate markets that mature on specific dates. Hifi markets use an Automated Market Maker model, in which users supply tokens to “liquidity pools” and an algorithm sets the interest rate based on supply and demand.

Users supply liquidity, borrow, or lend into any of the active markets. Borrower’s pay a fixed interest rate to lenders without needing to negotiate terms like maturity, interest rate, or collateral. By supplying tokens to liquidity pools users can earn rewards while enabling peer-to-peer lending and borrowing.

Hifi Governance is the community organized process for managing the Lending Protocol. HIFI is an ERC-20 token that gives its owner the ability to delegate voting rights to any address, including their own. The delegate's voting rights are automatically adjusted when the owner's token balance changes. Hifi Governance enables the community to propose, vote on, and implement changes via the administrative functions of the Hifi Protocol. Proposals can change system parameters, support new markets, add entirely new collateral types, or deploy resources towards specific causes.

Hifi was originally known as Mainframe when it launched in Nov. 2017. Mainframe began as a decentralized communications layer for Web3 but pivoted to Decentralized Finance and rebranded to Hifi in early 2020.

Spell Token (SPELL) is a reward token associated with abracadabra.money, a lending platform that uses interest-bearing tokens (ibTKNs) as collateral to borrow a USD-pegged stablecoin called Magic Internet Money (MIM). Abracadabra uses the Kashi Lending Technology pioneered by SushiSwap (SUSHI) to provide isolated lending markets that allow users to adjust their risk tolerance according to the collateral they decide to use. Users can deposit collateral and borrow MIM against it. Abracadabra also offers yield farming opportunities, where users can stake their liquidity provider (LP) tokens to farm SPELL. This facilitates better liquidity for certain cryptocurrency pairs, currently Ether (ETH)-Spell Token (SPELL) and Magic Internet Money (MIM)-LP 3pool Curve (3CRV). Furthermore, users can also open leveraged farming positions using borrowed MIM from their interest-bearing collateral.

Constitution DAO was an experiment that has now been dissolved. In November 2021, a group web3-enthusiasts gathered as a decentralized autonomous organization with the shared objective of buying a copy of the U.S. Constitution at a Sotheby’s Auction. There are only 13 original physical copies of the U.S Constitution in existence, which meant that this auction sparked a competitive bidding battle. Even though the group managed to raise well over $40 million in ETH, it ultimately fell short and was outbid by Ken Griffin, a billionaire hedge fund manager and CEO of Citadel.

Constitution DAO announced that it would disband after its unsuccessful grassroots attempt to buy one of the most valuable and iconic documents in U.S. history. All donations are being refunded.

HIGH Token (Highstreet) is a native token of a decentralized commerce-centric play-to-earn metaverse built with virtual reality (VR) support. Apart from realizing a two-way currency flow within physical and virtual worlds, Highstreet (HIGH) introduces a market where in-game items can be redeemed for real-life products.
