We smooth the way through current technical and psychological barriers by providing user-friendly, streamlined architecture so that everyone in the world can feel good investing and surfing the crypto wave.

1. Abstract

Glitter Finance proposes a platform that allows the redeployment of a portion of

locked tokens (collateral) on one chain into yield-generating vaults on another chain

through an

integration with the Glitter Bridge. Glitter Finance creates synthetic

versions of the

collateralized tokens on the new chain, boosting capital efficiency

and liquidity across the platform.

The initial release focuses on leveraging Algorand to Solana, Algorand to Terra,

Algorand to Polygon cross-chain bridges for the platform. All bridges will be

bidirectional. Additional bridges and chains will be added and layered on top of first

layer ones used.

4. Introduction

Decentralized Finance or DeFi represents a

revolution in the traditional notion of value creation.

Instead of centralised authorities, governments, and

financial institutions defining the terms of value

creation, DeFi populates the idea of community-led

financial ecosystems under which, the participants

define the rules, partake in the maintenance and

security of the system, and the entire ecosystem

functions in a decentralised manner.

The past twelve months (August 2020 - August

2021) have been pivotal in the development and

adoption of DeFi. Between August 2020 and August

2021, the total value locked across DeFi protocols

has surged from $4.0 billion to over $85 billion,

with decentralised lending protocols and

decentralised exchanges leading the growth during

this period.

As a community-led financial landscape, DeFi

adoption has been dominated by retail users, but

that doesn’t negate the potential of institutional

adoption as more companies are adding

cryptocurrencies to the balance sheets. Some of the

major players in fintech have shown strong

inclination towards the broader crypto industry and

DeFi, with platforms, such as PayPal, Visa,

facilitating crypto purchases settlement.

At the same time, it is essential to indicate that the

DeFi industry is still in its nascent stage, with

technological and infrastructural challenges.

> High network fees, speed limitations

The current DeFi industry is massively concentrated across the Ethereum network,

with a TVL of over $85.0 billion. While using a single platform does provide

seamless connections with different protocols, Ethereum in its present state is

posing challenges to DeFi adoption.

The first and foremost concern is the high network fee or gas fee on Ethereum, which

limits the use of any DeFi platform for microtransactions. Additionally, the current

transaction throughput of the Ethereum network stands at 30, which could lead to

network congestion, as witnessed in the past. Ethereum 2.0 will address most of

these challenges, but the transition from the current mainnet to 2.0 will require more

time and resources from the foundation as well as the DeFi protocolsM

> Fragmented User Base and Liquidity Inefficiency

Currently, there are over fifteen separate Blockchain technology networks offering

DeFi products. The proliferation of DeFi solutions across multiple blockchains has

created a fragmented user base, with liquidity dispersed across these chains.

Liquidity inefficiency is another prominent challenge within the DeFi industry. There

are several reasons for this inefficiency, including the rapid launch of new protocols,

manipulation strategies to attract liquidity providers (LPs), the ripple effect of CeFi,

especially centralised exchanges, and disproportionate information distribution

channels. Another major concern over the past couple of months is security threats

and cyberattacks draining liquidity by exploiting loopholes within various protocols.

Introducing a cross-chain bridge provides an opportunity to leverage multiple

Blockchain technologies. Glitter Finance plans to create a cross-chain bridge that

integrates yield and, effectively, creates an active trading ecosystem within the

bridge itselfM

> Managing multiple farms is more costly and time consuming

Experienced yield farmers find it difficult to keep up with the continuously exploding

market opportunities in the DeFi space. This makes it more confusing for novices to

get started. Users get lots of opportunities and find it hard to manage their yield

farming across multiple platforms available.

With the use of deep neural algorithms (coming from AI and machine learning),

Glitter provides the best yield return to users, optimizing across various chains and

re-deploying lock assets making it unmatched for existing applications and help

users to get the best return on the investment8

Limited use of collateralised assets

Decentralised lending leads other segments in terms of the net total value locked

(TVL) across different DeFi products, with current market domination of nearly

50% ($41 billion out of $85 billion net TVL). Decentralised loans require the

borrower to lock collateral in a protocol and borrow a loan against these locked

funds. However, these locked funds are no longer under circulation, thereby

blocking not just liquidity but also limiting yield generation capabilities for traders.

There are some solutions leveraging this locked liquidity across various

blockchains, including Solana, however, they have received limited exposure and

constrained utility because of their current complicated UI and poor user

experience.

Glitter Finance will integrate the normally dormant and stagnant synthetic token

(wrapped token) liquidity, created by the bridge, into a yield platform integrated

with the Glitter Finance bridge.

In doing so, this will increase the collateralized assets available across various

blockchains8

Banking the Unbanked and Removing Barriers to Investment

Even in the DeFi sector, in many platforms the threshold to invest remains too high

for many of the world’s population. At Glitter Finance, we feel the DeFi represents a

fundamental democratization of money, and in fact, is the first, major development

of the monetary system in decades. The major innovation of the sector is that

anyone, in any place, and at any time can create money for themselves. All one

needs is an internet connection and some basic knowledge of how a DeFi platform

works, and a person, regardless of their socio-economic background, can

potentially achieve solid economic lifestyle sustainability.

To champion this aspect of the DeFi innovation, we are introducing a low

investment threshold which will open the door to smaller investors around the

world. Moreover, we are innovating our technology to create the Glitter Finance

Vault Pool, which will leverage pooled funds to allow for smaller investors to enter

the fray.

5. Glitter Finance: Solving

Capital Inefficiency in

DeFi

Why Solana?

As stated previously Ethereum gas prices have surged over the last year. Further,

the immense amount of dApps built on the network has congested the Ethereum

network. These limitations have opened an opportunity for newer blockchain

technological providers to enter the fray. One of the most promising blockchain

networks to date has been Solana.

Solana features unique advantages over its competitors. These advantages include:

M

( The Solana blockchain can handle 65,000 transactions per second (compared to

30 by Ethereum). This shows an immense scalability potential compared to its

competitors.M

( The current gas fees on Solana cost between $0.00025 and 0.0001 per

transaction (compare this to $10-65 on Ethereum, depending on network

congestion).M

( The Solana ecosystem has experienced rapid growth since August of

2021.The

current TVL amount for the ecosystem is $3.5 billion.M

( Solana has proven it’s interoperable with the successful launch of the Wormhole

cross-chain bridge. The bridge has successfully connected the ecosystem to the

Ethereum ecosystem.

The overall rapid growth of the Solana ecosystem, along with the highly-scalable

technology and inexpensive gas fees, makes Solana an ideal ecosystem to base an

interoperable, DeFi platform from. Glitter Finance will combine these advantages

with EVM-compatible chains, creating a streamlined, well integrated, and seamless

DeFi ecosystem. Glitter Finance will thus become an ideal meeting place for the

traders of multiple blockchain ecosystems.

D Algorand

Algorand is a blockchain and cryptocurrency platform

whose aim is to be highly scalable, carbon neutral, and

with enterprise-level security. Algorand features low gas

fees as well as 1,000 transactions per second. These

qualities allow Algorand to be a preferred choice for

enterprise-level, blockchain-based solutions. Working

with Algorand will allow Glitter Finance to incorporate

enterprise-level, blockchain technology (including

security) into our platform. We will also be able to utilize

Algorand’s technology to be carbon neutral, and to have

very low gas fees for our traders./

D Terra

Terra is a trustless and permissionless layer 1, which was

developed off of the Cosmos blockchain technology. It is

also a payments-based financial ecosystem. The Terra

ecosystem is known for offering multiple, fiat-based

stablecoins. It is also known for having one of the most

sophisticated ecosystems for trading synthetic

(derivative) versions of stocks, through its Mirror Protocol.

Incorporating Terra into the Glitter Finance ecosystem will

allow the Glitter team to incorporate and meld together the

assets available in the crypto world with the synthetic

products available via the Terra ecosystem

D Polygon

Polygon is an EVM-supported blockchain provider with

advanced sidechain technology. This means it will give the

Glitter Finance Platform an efficient way to communicate

and work with the Ethereum infrastructure and network.

Building with Polygon has several advantages:/

Lower gas fees than the Ethereum network./

Less network congestion and therefore higher speeds./

High interoperability and scalability capacity due to

advanced sidechain technology.

Glitter Finance Platform Vision

Glitter Finance proposes a platform that eradicates the current capital inefficiency

in DeFi. The operating principle of Glitter Finance involves leveraging the current

cross-chain bridges and their locked TVL to synthesise tokens on a new chain and

use a portion of the locked TVL on these cross-chain bridges across yield-

generating vaults. Glitter Finance plans to implement its own, cross-chain bridge

solution as the underlying platform for the yield integration
