  • Smart contract risks pose a challenge for DeFi investors, with potential loss of funds if exploited or hacked.
  • Limited diversification options, which can lead to concentration risk and potential loss of funds if a particular DeFi project fails.

Scope of the Project

In DeFi the community plays an integral role in building brand recognition, but since we were just getting started, we were facing a chicken and egg problem.

Even though we wanted to build a community first product, at this stage we decided to bring in our own research analysts to  research on promising DeFi projects. The goal was to spotlight these projects and publish comprehensive reports for anyone to read and invest in that project. So along with the customer facing Spotlighted product we also additionally created an internal tool to manage all Spotlighted Projects and publish the research used in that product through that internal tool. This tool was also to be used for managing Platter Finance’s “Knowledge Hub”.

The plan was, as we gradually meet our community milestones, we planned to transition the platform into a fully community-driven ecosystem. This would have enabled users to participate in the decision-making process by voting on which projects should be highlighted on the platform. Additionally, we intended to create a publishing platform, similar to Wikipedia, where users could publish their research on various DeFi projects.To incentivise our research analysts to consistently produce high-quality reports, we had planned to introduce a governance mechanism that enabled tokenisation through incentivisation. This would have ensured that our users had access to the most accurate and up-to-date research on the DeFi projects we spotlighted.

Projects: 1 Inch,
