What is Dfyn Network (DFYN)? Everything about DFYN Token

Liquidity is of paramount importance in DeFi to facilitate any financial activities (Trading, Lending, Farming,...). While Ethereum is still the blockchain with the highest TVL, it faces growing congestion and extremely high gas fees. The current solution is to build another layer on top of Ethereum or form entirely new blockchains. This way, issues with speed and cost have been settled, but another challenge arises: fragmented liquidity. 

It happens when assets are stored in multiple pools from isolated blockchains. In the meantime, when no blockchain is dominant enough to gather most liquidity, a cross-chain infrastructure allowing seamless flow of assets across chains will be needed. Realizing this opportunity, Dfyn Network has partnered with Router Protocol to provide the exact solution for the fragmented liquidity issue in DeFi.

What is Dfyn?

Dfyn is a multi-chain AMM DEX currently launched on Polygon Network. Its networks contain Dfyn nodes spreading across multiple Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains. This will enable Dfyn to plug into liquidity pools of any chains so that users can trade their assets seamlessly on several blockchains from a single interface.

Dfyn DEX works quite similarly to Uniswap on Ethereum. However, Dfyn offers the following advantages over Uniswap:

• Ultra-fast speed: Being built on Layer 2 blockchain (Polygon), Dfyn ensures that transactions will be at least 10 times faster than Ethereum Network.
• Negligible cost: Dfyn themselves offer zero gas transactions and the best trading price by smart order routing (explained later).
• Cross-chain transactions: Users can exchange assets on multiple blockchains, not just Ethereum-based assets.

How does Dfyn work?

How does Dfyn enable cross-chain liquidity flow?

The broader architecture of Dfyn has 4 main components:

• Dfyn nodes: Nodes are available on multiple Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains, acting as AMMs.
• A network of bridges: Router protocol functions as a bridge between isolated nodes on each blockchain. You can imagine Dfyn nodes as far-flung cities and Router as the highway to enable vehicles (in this case, assets) to move freely and effortlessly from one city to another.
• ParaRouter: This is the bridge contract deployed on each chain having a Dfyn node. When assets need to be transferred across chains, the ParaRouter can lock a stable coin and send a signal to nodes associated with Central Route to take action.
• Router nodes: These nodes receive the signal from ParaRouters, validate them, and forward them for further processing to the destination chain.

How can Dfyn enable the best trading prices?

Users can benefit from the best prices with the lowest slippage transactions on Dfyn by the following mechanism:

1. A user wants to trade ETH for USDT on the Polygon Network.
2. Dfyn AMM nodes request Router transverse not only through Polygon but many other blockchains as well, searching for optimal price to meet the order.
3. In case Router finds the best ETH/USDT price on the Huobi Eco Chain, it will fulfill the trader’s order from Houbi Eco Chain.

DFYN Roadmap

September 2021

• Establish Dfyn nodes on other chains – Arbitrum, Conflux (Currently, Dfyn nodes are launched on Polygon and OKExChain).
• vDfyn vaults: These vaults allow users to stake DFYN tokens in exchange for vDfyn tokens, which claim their share in the protocol revenue. 0.04% of the transaction fee on Dfyn Exchange will be used to buy back DFYN tokens. These tokens are then paid as dividends to the vDfyn vaults.

October 2021

• Launch of a new UI with a dedicated dashboard for managing yield mining activities (The team is currently improving the UI  of some specific features on the website).
• Prediction Markets for $DFYN and $LUNA tokens.

December 2021

• Cross-chain credit markets infra/tools to enable seamless cross-collateralization and borrowing across chains.
• Integration with Router Aggregator to facilitate smart-order routing (Currently available in the testnet version).

Is Dfyn Network (DFYN) a good investment?

I hope that from all the mentioned information, you can get a basic understanding of Dfyn Network to start researching more about this project. It is hard to tell firmly whether any project/ token is a good investment or not. However, I will provide you with some key highlights of Dfyn Network so that you can do your own research and make your own investment decisions:

The solution that Dfyn Network provides is of high demand to solve DeFi’s head-aching problems related to fragmented liquidity. So if Dfyn Network can facilitate the free flow of assets among chains as it promises, then the opportunity for the project to skyrocket is tremendous.

Router Protocol - the bridge between Dfyn nodes on different blockchains has a competitive advantage over other competitors providing the same cross-chain solution such as ThorChain, PolyNetwork,...

However, the scenario of easy flow of capital among chains is still a long way to go for Dfyn. Right now, Dfyn has only launched on Polygon, most recently on OKExchain. Establishments on any other chains are still under progression while the Router supporting cross-chain flow is still the testnet version.

Users are reporting some problems on Dfyn: low speed, transactions can not be validated, hard to swap,.... Trading volume on Dfyn has dropped sharply, making the trading volume of Dfyn significantly low compared to other top DEXs on Polygon (QuickSwap, Sushi).

Conclusion

Cross-chain bridge is a promising aspect to pay attention to as it offers the right solution for the fragmented liquidity faced by DeFi. Many projects have realized this problem and worked on building bridges. 

However, up to now, cross-chain liquidity protocols are still under development, and security, the ease of trade,... are among many issues that need to be solved with a cross-chain solution. If Dfyn Network can successfully pursue its mission, stick with the roadmap: expand the nodes to many chains and facilitate a fast and cheap fun flow, then it still has a lot of space to grow in the future.
