There is much more to the LeoFinance ecosystem than just the blogging side. Those who have been here for quite sometime know about this but some are still unaware. This post then aims to share some basic information to introduce the products or applications that makes up this ecosystem that is often referred to as the "LeoVerse."
The LeoFinance Front-end
This is what I consider the entrance or the gate to the LeoVerse. It takes care of the social side of things. A long-form content platform that focuses on cryptocurrency, finance, and other related stuff.
Using this front-end will enable one to earn LEO (the community's native token) on top of HIVE and HBD for their contents.
Much have changed since I first came here and the UI had undergone improvements and additional features which improved user experience. Still, the team behind this buzzing ecosystem is gearing towards rebuilding the entire interface, hence the challenge was put out for all who want to contribute and have their say on how they would like the front-end to be.
Threads
URL: https://leofinance.io/threads
The microblogging feature which was released a little over 2 months ago (4th August) and is keeping the community busy day in, day out.
The good thing about Threads is that any subject is welcomed and not limited to finance and cryptocurrency. Photos, videos and anything one could think of are allowed.
Check out the updates and expected roadmap of Threads here.
LeoDex
URL: https://leodex.io
The Decentralized Exchange built by LeoFinance which is tied to Hive-Engine. This DEX allows trading or swapping of Layer 2 tokens. The exchange has more features that are not found in other DEXes.
The features of LeoDEX have been discussed in broader details here.
HiveStats
URL: https://hivestats.io
This is where Hive users can check the overview and almost every data related to their accounts or that of others, re:
- Voting Power
- Account Reputation
- Received rewards in terms of content creation and curation
- Account operation and activities
- Wallet and Layer 2 Tokens
Multi-Token Bridge
URL: https://wleo.io)
This allows moving of onchain assets like HIVE, HBD, LEO and SPS to and from other blockchains like Polygon or BSC networks.
To put it simply, the bridges are so useful to the Hive ecosystem because they enable additional markets, arbitraging, other opportunities and even withdrawal (and deposit) routes for these Hive assets.
CubFinance
URL: https://cubdefi.com
The first yield farming platform that LeoFinance built on Binance Smart Chain with CUB as its native token.
Assets like LEO, HIVE, HBD can be wrapped through the Multi-Token Bridge, paired with another assets for an LP position and staked into the liquidity pools in the CubFinance farms to earn CUB.
This platform has created a channel for more liquidity and exposure of these Hive assets off chain.
Polycub
URL: https://polycub.com
Second DeFi platform built by LeoFinance on the Polygon network. The native token is POLYCUB which can be staked singly or paired with other assets, including that of Hive (ie. HIVE, HBD, LEO and SPS) to earn yield in the farming pools or in the Kingdoms.
LeoPedia
URL: https://leopedia.io
This is an application that aims to provide valuable information on cryptocurrency to the community or guests even.
No new information have been added for a while but hopefully more tutorials and informational articles will be put up in the sooniverse.
LeoGlossary
URL: @leoglossary/leoglossary-main-menu
The resource and reference or educational center for cryptocurrency, finance, and investing created by TM, one of the most active and influential figures in the Hive blockchain.
Its aim is to create a full database of terms and keywords that will help people in learning more about the above-mentioned subjects.
Additional information about LeoGlossary here.
LeoFi
URL: https://leofi.io
A decentralized application created by LeoFinance that allows users to Lease their Leo Power to other users and earn and earn passive APY.
The application is still in beta phase but some users are already using the lease functions.
Personal Thoughts
It is to say that LeoVerse is a growing economy in all directions, from tokenized blogging (both long-form and short-form), to educational or informational center to DeFi.
With the team behind this ecosystem being known as builders and a strong community with diamond paws backing it, we might be seeing more developments in the coming months and years.
