What makes platypus unique

Platypus has been noticed by some of the top investors in the crypto space, companies that have a tradition of investing in breakthrough platforms that bring much-needed liquidity into the DeFi space.

The groundbreaking design of Platypus sets the precedent for unilateral liquidity provision and defines the concept of liquidity balance through a novel approach that puts liability at the heart of its technology as opposed to older AMMs that rely on liquidity. This shift enables the integration of new assets, more use cases for the unilateral LP token, and organic growth of assets based on supply and demand. All of these innovations are neatly packaged in a sleek user interface to provide a comfortable experience for users.

For this reason, one can conclude that Platypus brings a value proposition to the DeFi area, meets the criteria of the perfect product-market-fit and represents a valuable investment.

“DeFiance is excited to support Platypus Finance in their mission to create a sleek DeFi primitive from the ground up. It is one of the most innovative DeFi protocols in Avalanche and their stableswap protocol allows for less slippage along with unilateral LP capability and provides a powerful feature for DeFi users. “
