Decentralized finance (DeFi) activity has slowed during the bear market. However, there is still a lot going on with the protocols of leading ecosystems like BNB Chain.
BNB Chain, formerly known as Binance Smart Chain, is the second largest DeFi ecosystem after Ethereum.
According to DeFiLlama, the BNB chain is worth a total of $7.7 billion. However, this is a 70% drop from the all-time high, consistent with the overall bear market.
BNB Chain has several popular DeFi projects, here are the top three.
PancakeSwap (DEX)
The largest decentralized exchange on the BNB chain network is PancakeSwap. The total value is $4.36 billion, accounting for a 56.6% market share. Furthermore, according to DeFiLlama, the 24-hour trading volume is $302,665.
PancakeSwap boasts 1.9 million users and 55 million trades in the last 30 days. The DEX offers instant token swaps and a range of liquidity farms. There is also a lottery and many giveaways.
The DEX is powered by the native CAKE token, which is farmed and staked. Additionally, CAKE is used in pottery, combining locked bets with lottery elements. This creates opportunities for higher income from CAKE deposits.
Venus Protocol (loan)
Venus is the second largest DeFi protocol on the BNB chain. It offers a decentralized money market for lending, borrowing and earning crypto assets.
Venus has a total value of $933 million, which is 12% of the BNB chain’s market share. The protocol is also a fork of the Ethereum lending platform Compound Finance.
It uses vTokens, tokenized versions of other assets that can be used as collateral. Different interest rates are offered for different tokens that can be lent or borrowed on the platform.
In addition, the protocol is based on the XVS token, which is also used for farming and additional yields.
Venus suffered a $11 million loss earlier this year due to a problem with LUNA price oracles.
Alpaca Finance (Return)
The third largest DeFi protocol on the BNB Chain is Alpaca Finance. The total value is around 367 million US dollars. Alpaca is a lending protocol that enables leveraged yield farming in the Binance ecosystem.
In addition, borrowers can obtain undercollateralized loans for leveraged yield farming positions. The protocol strengthens the liquidity layer of integrated exchanges and improves their capital efficiency by connecting liquidity providers.
Alpaca also has its own native token with the same name. It conducts regular buybacks and burns to keep supply deflationary.
After all, these are just three of the most popular DeFi protocols on the BNB Chain. Others are BiSwap, PinkSale, Wombat Exchange and Coinwind.
