๐Ÿ›Unlike the earlier generation of DeFi apps, which were geared toward users, the newcomers have a specific business-to-business (B2B) focus. DeFi 2.0 protocols capitalize on the fact that the first generation of DeFi products successfully bootstrapped the industry by establishing an initial user base and developing the crucial DeFi primitives that future manufacturers can now employ to construct the next wave of DeFi apps.

๐ŸŒŠThe sector's reliance on third-party providers and token incentives to secure liquidity, as well as DeFi's essentially non-existent correlation with traditional finance and the global economy, are the fundamental problems now preventing the sector from becoming sustainable. The entire purpose of DeFi 2.0 and beyond is to address these issues.

๐Ÿ—Building protocol-controlled value mechanisms is another way DeFi 2.0 is expected to help decentralized automated organizations (DAOs). The new wave of DeFi products will produce valuable tools that will enable DAOs to compete with companies, reinforcing the movement's B2B focus.

๐Ÿš€AGV is one such DAO working towards the establishment of the Defi 2.0 NFT based play2earn games and revolutionize the traditional gaming system.

๐Ÿ›DeFi & Metaverse are the technologies to watch out for as more use cases are being developed, based on them.

๐Ÿ”‘One of the key elements of these technologies is the decentralisation of ownership i.e the creators would be in control of the content.

๐Ÿ•ธMetaverse is considered to be part of Internet 3.0, where-in it is a virtually interconnected space with collectibles, items, digital assets, utilities etc. Metaverse adds a new experience to any events beyond just viewing them online.

๐ŸŒŠNFTs are a new era of ownership. They form a key idea in the concept of metaverse. The assets and resources on the metaverse ecosystems, games etc can be traded as NFTs, and have their application beyond the ecosystem.

๐ŸŽฎMany of the gamification projects like AGV around the world have re-invented the wheel as far as NFT based play2earn gaming is concerned. NFTs would be the link between the metaverse and the real world with DeFi smart contracts being the technology for the transaction process to run smoothly.

โ›“DeFi 2.0 is a new phrase in the blockchain world that refers to a subset of DeFi protocols built on prior DeFi breakthroughs like yield farming, lending and other things. Many on-chain systems with native tokens experience liquidity constraints, which is a crucial focus of notable DeFi 2.0 implementations.

๐Ÿ‘‰The various limitations of DeFi 1.0 are:

โ€”The first stumbling block concerns the usability of DeFi platforms because of the UX and UI complexity that makes it difficult for newbies to use decentralized products.

โ€”DeFi solutions are built on the Ethereum blockchain and owing to the enormous number of users on the network, there are considerable delays and transaction costs are skyrocketing.

โ€”Yields are not as appealing as they once were,which has resulted in a recurrent farm and dump scenario, resulting in unhealthy cash flow for practices and many other issues that contribute to inefficient asset use.

๐Ÿ”ฅAGV has developed its own Blockchain network which will result in faster transactions for a fraction of a cost and protocols with more comprehensive user experience making DeFi interaction easier.

โ›“Roughly 5% of the world understands the benefits blockchain brings, among which are primarily those holding cryptocurrencies. By this count, this leaves 95% of the world in a position yet to recognize the value of the technology in their own lives.

๐Ÿ•ธWeb3 represents the future of the internet where users operate in a decentralized way rather than relying on large private businesses or centralized government bodies. As DeFi popularity grew in 2021, more projects and protocols made their way onto the market, all trying to bring the benefits of DeFi to as many people as possible.

๐Ÿ›While itโ€™s possible that government regulation and the dawn of Web3 could bring crypto into the mainstream, they both potentially have the power to shape the future of crypto and DeFi and decide where the movement goes next.

๐Ÿ”ฅAGV is playing its part in bringing the adoption of crypto to the world with its unique concept of lending out community owned NFTs to the players who canโ€™t afford it and begin their crypto journey.

๐Ÿ›DeFi has opened up favourable prospects for accessing financial services on a decentralized infrastructure. At the same time, it has also prepped many paths for earning passive income with DeFi.

๐Ÿ”ฅWith multiple investment options such as yield farming, staking, becoming a liquidity provider, and crypto lending, you can earn passive income easily. The common thing in all the answers for โ€œhow to invest in DeFiโ€ refers to locking your assets in a DeFi protocol.

๐Ÿ’ฐThe type of returns on your assets depends on the method you have selected. For example, if you are providing liquidity to a platform, you get the rewards in form of LP tokens which you can further invest and earn more known as yield farming.

๐Ÿ“ŠOn the other hand, staking also gives the additional rewards of governance privileges in the protocol.You can choose the one you want according to your flexibility and participation in DeFi.

๐ŸŽฏBefore the arrival of DeFi, crypto assets were a mysterious enigma for financial investors and traders. The AGV gaming guild is opening new doors for the users to start new streams of passive income with playtoearn gaming model.

๐ŸŒŠ What are liquidity pools?

โ€”In the early phases of DeFi, decentralised exchanges (DEXs) suffered from crypto market liquidity problems when attempting to model the traditional market makers. Liquidity pools helped address this problem by having users be incentivized to provide liquidity instead of having a seller and buyer match in an order book.

โ€”Liquidity pools are a mechanism by which users can pool their assets in a DEXโ€™s smart contracts to provide asset liquidity for traders to swap between currencies. Liquidity pools provide much-needed liquidity, speed, and convenience to the DeFi ecosystem.

๐Ÿค”How Do Crypto Liquidity Pools Work?

โ€”Usually, a crypto liquidity provider receives LP tokens in proportion to the amount of liquidity they have supplied to the pool. When a pool facilitates a trade, a fractional fee is proportionally distributed amongst the LP token holders. For the liquidity provider to get back the liquidity they contributed , their LP tokens must be destroyed.

โ€”They may have been born from necessity, but their innovation brings a fresh new way to provide decentralized liquidity algorithmically through incentivized, user funded pools of asset pairs.

๐Ÿš€Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are cryptocurrency exchanges that operate without a central authority, allowing users to transact peer-to-peer and maintain control of their funds.

โ€”Difference between a centralised exchange and a DEX
As suggested by the name, centralized cryptocurrency exchanges act as a third-party between a buyer and a seller. Approximately all of the crypto transactions go through centralized exchanges since they offer more reliability.

๐ŸŽฏIf you understood what a centralised exchange is, you can probably guess what a DEX is now. The primary difference is in the fact that you have access to the private key for your own crypto wallet. Youโ€™re not dependent on a central entity to hold your cryptocurrency.

๐Ÿ“ŠDEXs donโ€™t charge any listing fees which rivals the centralized exchanges. Just a few years ago, projects would pay millions of dollars to get a token listed on a centralized exchange.

โ›“On many DEXs, transactions are executed on-chain.This means transactions occur on a single blockchain, like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon etc. Popular DEXs in the DeFi space currently include AirSwap, Liquality, Mesa, Oasis, and Uniswap.

๐Ÿ“ˆThe various fields where smart contracts finds its applications in DeFi:

โ€”Digital Identity
With DeFi, smart contracts can help counterparties learn about the individual without knowing their true identity or verify transactions. This frictionless KYC can help improve interoperability, resilience, and compliance โ€” all with the use of smart contracts.

โ€”Loans and Mortgages
Smart contracts can help improve the financial services, including mortgages and loans and ensure that the whole process can be completed in a friction-less way.

For instance, to handle a mortgage a smart contract can be created to manage it by tracking the payments and releasing the property when the whole loan is paid off.

โ€”Supply Chain Management
Smart contracts can be used to track items within the supply chain with full visibility and transparency. A business can use smart-contract-powered supply chains and improve its inventory tracking to a granular level and enhanced tracing results in fewer frauds and thefts.

โ€”Trading Activities
In this case, the middleman or broker is removed, and his work is automated with the smart contract. This removes the additional cost related to them. There are many companies using smart contracts for this purpose.

๐Ÿ“‘โ€œSmart contracts are essential for our economy as they can provide the necessary automation for decentralized platforms. Smart contracts provide a unique way of solving problems, including trading activities, clinical trials, insurance, loans and mortgages, and so on!โ€

๐Ÿ•นVideo games are played by nearly 3 billion people across the world. This forms the base for a whole ecosystem built around gaming. Few of the best players also have earning streams solely dependent on gaming.

๐Ÿค‘The video game industry is worth around $336 billion. One of the key aspects of the industry which has grown into one of the largest media categories, is centralization. This gives the developers, publishers etc. the rights to all the transactions that happen with the games.

๐ŸงฉThere are many players who invest time, effort and money as well for the games. However, what they earn within the game does not translate into real money. Hence it is a non-return investment.

๐Ÿ“ˆThis historical model has been in existence since starting and continues to exist as the industry grows. However, things seem to change with the arrival of โ€œPlay2earnโ€ games. These games allow the players to truly earn and own digital assets, which they can sell in the marketplace and make profit.

๐Ÿš€The advent of DeFi and NFTs that are based on blockchain technology has enabled to decentralize the gaming industry which once was heavily centralized. And AGV DAO further makes it simpler for players to make a transit to the play2earn model.

๐Ÿ“ˆThe top DeFi Protocols in Crypto Space:

Aave
Aave is one of the most popular and leading lending protocols in the DeFi landscape. It utilizes the native token AAVE for the security of the protocol alongside enabling users to participate in the governance of the protocol.

Compound
The protocol features a native token, known as COMP, which users can earn by lending or borrowing assets. COMP is also helpful for the governance of important protocol decisions with the flexibility of voting and delegation through the Compound Governance Dashboard.

Uniswap
Uniswap is presently the topmost decentralized exchange in the DeFi space. Users can earn the native token, UNI, by offering liquidity to particular pools. In September 2020, Uniswap offered 15% of its supply to previous users by introducing a program, โ€œUniversal Basic Income.โ€

Balancer
The Balancer DeFi protocol focuses on automated asset management and liquidity with the facility of governance through the native token. The native token, BAL, helps in the governance of crucial protocol aspects such as support assets and protocol fees.

๐Ÿค‘These protocols offer much stable returns on your investments and the APYโ€™s offered are variable depending on the demand and supply of the assets you've invested in.
