Layer 2

Layer 2 refers to blockchain protocols built on top of Layer 1 networks to enhance scalability, reduce transaction costs, and improve efficiency while leveraging the security of the underlying Layer 1 blockchain. Layer 2 solutions process transactions off-chain or in parallel and submit proofs or summaries back to the Layer

LayerZero

LayerZero is an omnichain interoperability protocol designed to enable seamless communication and interaction between multiple blockchains. By providing a decentralized messaging layer, LayerZero allows blockchains to exchange data, assets, and messages securely and efficiently, fostering interoperability across otherwise isolated ecosystems. LayerZero’s unique architecture is built to ensure security, scalability,

Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRT)

Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRT) are tokenized representations of staked assets that enable users to extend the utility of their staked cryptocurrency across multiple protocols or blockchain networks. Built on the concept of restaking, LRTs allow staked assets to serve additional purposes, such as securing other protocols, participating in decentralized finance

Liquid Staking Token (LST)

Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) are tokenized representations of staked assets in blockchain networks, enabling users to earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity. Traditionally, staked assets are locked and inaccessible for a specified period. LSTs solve this limitation by allowing staked tokens to remain usable in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications such

Liquidity Pool

A liquidity pool is a collection of cryptocurrency tokens locked in a smart contract to facilitate decentralized finance (DeFi) activities such as trading, lending, and yield farming. These pools replace traditional order books or intermediaries by using automated market makers (AMMs) to enable transactions. Liquidity pools are fundamental to decentralized

Ecosystem Owned Liquidity (EOL)

Ecosystem-Owned Liquidity (EOL) is a decentralized liquidity model pioneered by protocols like Mitosis, where liquidity is collectively managed and owned by the protocol’s ecosystem rather than individual liquidity providers or centralized entities. This approach aligns incentives between protocols and their participants, creating a sustainable, transparent, and market-driven framework for

Liquidity Provision

Liquidity provision is the process of supplying cryptocurrency or other digital assets to liquidity pools or protocols in decentralized finance (DeFi) to enable seamless trading, lending, or other financial activities. This mechanism is fundamental to the functionality of decentralized exchanges (DEXs), automated market makers (AMMs), and lending platforms, ensuring that
