DeFi

The OSMO Token is the core utility token in the Osmosis ecosystem. It is mainly used for protocol governance, network staking, liquidity incentives, and the Superfluid Staking mechanism.

As the Cosmos ecosystem continues to expand, cross-chain liquidity and interchain asset trading have become important directions in DeFi. Compared with traditional DEXs that mainly operate on a single blockchain, Osmosis places greater emphasis on cross-chain asset swaps and customizable liquidity mechanisms.

Infinex and MetaMask are both widely used to access DeFi and onchain assets, but they differ clearly in their underlying account structure and user interaction logic. MetaMask is a traditional EOA, Externally Owned Account, wallet that mainly relies on private keys and seed phrases, while Infinex uses Account Abstraction and Passkey login, with a stronger focus on a unified account experience and multichain interaction.

Infinex’s account system is a non-custodial account structure based on Passkey and Account Abstraction. It is designed to reduce the complexity of traditional Web3 wallets. Users do not need to store seed phrases. Instead, they can log in and sign transactions through Face ID, Touch ID, or device verification, creating an onchain interaction experience closer to that of a standard internet application.

Infinex (INX) is a non-custodial DeFi superapp built around Account Abstraction and Passkey login. It aims to simplify how users access onchain assets, cross-chain trading, perpetual contracts, and yield protocols. As the multichain ecosystem becomes increasingly complex, Infinex lowers the barrier for ordinary users to enter DeFi through a unified account system, gas abstraction, and an aggregated trading experience.

Ripple USD (RLUSD) is a dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Ripple. It is pegged to the U.S. dollar at a 1:1 ratio and deployed on both XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum. RLUSD is mainly used for cross-border payments, on-chain settlement, institutional fund transfers, and decentralized finance (DeFi) scenarios. Its goal is to provide a more stable digital settlement asset within Ripple’s payments ecosystem.

KAIA is the native token of the Kaia network, created through the gradual integration of Klaytn’s KLAY and Finschia’s FNSA after the network merger. This conversion involves more than a change in token name. It also includes the integration of governance systems, validator structures, and ecosystem resources. KLAY and FNSA holders can complete the asset conversion through the official migration mechanism, while Kaia uses a unified network and token system to further support stablecoin payments, Mini DApps, and the growth of Asia’s Web3 ecosystem.

Kaia Mini DApps are lightweight Web3 applications that run on the Kaia blockchain and can be embedded directly into super app ecosystems such as LINE. Compared with traditional DApps, Mini DApps lower the operational barrier for ordinary users entering Web3 through Gas Fee Delegation, simplified wallet interactions, and in-app access. Their workflow usually includes user entry, account connection, on-chain transaction execution, and application result feedback. They are used in payments, blockchain games, digital assets, and social Web3 scenarios.

Kaia (KAIA) is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain formed through the merger of Klaytn, which was supported by South Korea’s internet ecosystem, and Finschia, LINE’s Web3 network. It focuses on stablecoin payments, on-chain finance, and Web3 application infrastructure. Through a high-performance network, low transaction costs, and integration with super app ecosystems such as LINE, Kaia aims to support large-scale Web3 user onboarding in Asia and enable use cases such as DeFi, payments, RWA, and Mini DApps.

A CFD, or Contract for Difference, is a financial derivative settled based on the price difference of an underlying asset. Users do not need to actually hold the underlying asset itself. Instead, they can participate in the market by judging whether the price will rise or fall. For this reason, the core logic of CFDs is not the transfer of asset ownership, but trading price movements.

Gate TradFi is a comprehensive trading section built by Gate. It brings together three core trading models: CFD contracts, perpetual contracts, and spot tokens. Through a unified entry point and a multi asset framework, users can allocate capital and switch strategies more flexibly across different markets.

Convex Finance (CVX) is a yield optimization protocol built around Curve Finance. It mainly helps users improve liquidity mining returns and capital efficiency by aggregating veCRV, managing Curve Boost rights in a unified way, and automating reward distribution.

CVX is the native governance token of Convex Finance and the core incentive asset within the entire Convex yield aggregation system. As a yield optimization protocol built around Curve Finance, Convex not only helps users improve Curve LP yields, but also redistributes governance power and liquidity incentives within the Curve ecosystem through its veCRV aggregation mechanism.

Convex Finance (CVX) is a DeFi yield optimization protocol built around Curve Finance. It mainly helps users improve liquidity mining returns and capital efficiency by aggregating veCRV, managing Curve Boost rights in a unified way, and automating reward distribution.

Sei and Solana are both Layer 1 public blockchains designed for high throughput and low latency, but they differ clearly in their technical architecture and ecosystem strategy. Solana uses an independent runtime environment and a parallel execution structure, while Sei focuses on Parallelized EVM and Ethereum compatibility. Solana places greater emphasis on a native high-performance architecture, improving network throughput through the Sealevel parallel execution model and Proof of History. Sei, meanwhile, aims to improve on-chain execution efficiency through Parallelized EVM, Twin-Turbo Consensus, and optimized state management, while maintaining compatibility with Solidity and the EVM toolchain.
