Asymmetry Finance
Asymmetry supercharges yield on staking tokens like CVX (34% APY) and ETH (10% APY). The project is moving into the synthetic dollar space with its high-yield synthetic dollar afUSD (21% APY). afUSD is a fully on-chain alternative to Ethena -- scalable and open source.
From its seed round, Asymmetry Finance has raised $4M from Avon Ventures (Fidelity-affiliated token fund), Republic Crypto, Side Door Ventures, the Founder of Frax, the Founders of Convex, and more.
On May 31, 2024, Asymmetry Finance announced its public sale on Paid Network, which will take place on June 12.
Asymmetry Finance - WAITLIST Overview
Asymmetry Finance - Review
Asymmetry is the Structured Products Hub for liquid staking and restaking tokens. Asymmetry pioneers LST solutions and products offering market-leading yield, hybrid-LSTs, yield optimization, and custom risk-adjusted positions.
Asymmetry Finance’s goals include:
- Market-leading Yield: It is no secret that the market flows to high yield. Asymmetry strives to push boundaries on what can be achieved for yield - building products that strike a healthy balance between achieving market-leading yield, and sustainability at scale. afETH and afCVX achieve market-leading real yield by harnessing the power of the Convex ecosystem.
- Composability: Liquid Staking was originally designed to be composable across the wide world of DeFi. afCVX and afETH were designed with that in mind: to be accessible, composable, and reliable. Users must be able to use their tokens across the DeFi ecosystem while still earning yield, and that is possible with afETH.
- Real Yield: Asymmetry has long studied market trends and practices, repeatedly witnessing a variety of failed yield structures. Asymmetry firmly believes in delivering real yield to users, as in, yield that can be relied upon and not subject to short-term or naive strategy. A prime example of this is the model of artificial yield propped up by an inflationary governance token - No matter the intricacies, the market has witnessed these structures ultimately fail to the detriment of users. Asymmetry builds products with Real Yield at the core, for users to transparently know where their yield comes from, why it’s sustainable, and why it can be trusted over time.
The project has several products:
- Convex: afCVX (Asymmetry Finance Convex).
- Ethereum LSTs: afETH (Asymmetry Finance Ethereum), safETH (Simple Asymmetry Finance Ethereum).
- Governance: $ASF, veASF.
🤑 The project has its native token $ASF, which is used within the Asymmetry ecosystem.
On May 31, 2024, Asymmetry Finance announced its public sale on Paid Network with a fundraising goal of $1.5M.
