As Tren Finance prepares for its mainnet launch, it’s important for us to clarify our mission in addition to the transformative impact we aim to have on the DeFi landscape. This article delves into the rationale behind our development focus, the significance of our services, and our strategic choice of Ethereum as our initial home. Central to our ethos is a community-first approach, underscoring the importance of user participation and alignment in our journey.
DeFi is only as strong as its weakest link. Long-tail assets in DeFi — assets that, despite their potential risk, embody the sector’s innovative spirit need a secure and flexible platform that users can interact with. No permission required.
Long-tail assets within Tren Finance refer to a wide variety of cryptos that are not typically in the mainstream focus of the high volume trading pairs. These can include niche LP (liquidity provision) tokens, meme coins, LRTs (liquid restaking tokens), LSTs (liquid staking tokens), RWA’s (real-world assets), vault tokens, and other less common tokens that, despite their potential for high returns, often lack sufficient liquidity on popular DeFi platforms. Tren Finance aims to address this gap by providing a secure and efficient platform where these long-tail assets can be used as collateral to take out a stablecoin loan, thereby unlocking their liquidity and making them more accessible. Tren Finance thus opens up new opportunities for yield generation in assets previously considered too risky or volatile due to their limited liquidity. Long-tail assets become accessible via isolated pools — a concept we’ve thoroughly examined in a recent article, which delves into the nuances of who, what, where, when, and why these pools are crucial for the ecosystem.
So in short, Tren Finance aspires to be the go-to platform for securely and efficiently unlocking liquidity for long-tail assets. Launching on Ethereum, despite expected high gas fees, aligns with our prioritization of security and stability, acknowledging the baselayer’s proven foundation amidst a crowded L2 and rollup space. Our seasoned team, deeply integrated into DeFi’s evolving narratives, is committed to outmaneuvering established platforms by leveraging our technological edge and cultivating a vibrant, liquidity-rich community. Said differently, we’re building a “safe space” for sophisticated degens. A community of cultured traders who see the value in capital efficiency as a net benefit to the market as a whole.
Nevertheless, Tren Finance is committed to broadening its horizons beyond Ethereum to include various Layer 2 solutions and rollups. This inevitable expansion is designed to cater to the platform’s growth and the increasing influx of users, ensuring scalability, reduced transaction costs, and enhanced performance. By integrating with these advanced technologies, Tren Finance aims to provide a seamless and efficient DeFi experience, making it accessible to a wider audience while maintaining the security and integrity of the platform. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements pertaining to the TrenDAO — governed by TREN, which will weigh in on future integrations.
At launch, the Tren Finance platform will offer services aimed at addressing gaps in the DeFi market. These include a unified platform where users can: Borrow trenUSD using a broad array of assets for leveraged staking and farming or for simply diversifying their holdings with increased exposure. Each isolated pool is tailored to meet the demands of the asset at hand with customizable interest rates, oracles, liquidation mechanisms and harvesting mechanisms. Our implementation of the TWAMM (Time Weighted Average Market Maker) allows for the first collateral based interest system in DeFi along with the benefit of efficient order execution. Note that not all aforementioned services will be available at launch.
A wide range of assets available to borrow trenUSD
Leveraged staking, restaking, and farming to increase yields
Isolated lending markets for secure implementation of diverse assets
Governance participation through the TREN token
Algorithmic stablecoin (trenUSD) pegged to the USD backed by overcollateralized loans
Liquidation opportunities for users to profit from bad debt
Integration with TWAMM for collateral based interest
Flexible oracle system for secure price data
These are many features which are designed to unlock liquidity in long-tail assets, enhance yield generation, and increase the capital efficiency of an underserved area of DeFi. While not every feature of Tren Finance may be utilized by each user, the platform ensures that all services work together securely, thanks to robust design principles refined through past protocol experiences. This knowledge informs our approach to setting protocol parameters that prevent adverse outcomes. However, it’s crucial for users to actively manage their risk and safeguard their private keys. The empowerment offered by Tren Finance comes with the responsibility to use it wisely, echoing the principle that with great power comes great responsibility. To learn more, we encourage users to familiarize themselves with our documentation, which we are continuing to update.
As more liquidity emerges from long-tail assets, such as meme coins, on a secure platform like Tren Finance, it can have a transformative effect on the DeFi ecosystem. Firstly, it democratizes finance by giving lesser-known assets a feature-rich platform, thus broadening participation and investment opportunities. This inclusivity can increase the total value locked (TVL) in DeFi, as more assets become available for lending, borrowing, and trading. Secondly, it enhances market efficiency and price discovery for these assets, as increased liquidity tends to reduce volatility. Ultimately, it fosters DeFi innovation by equipping developers and startups with the means to secure early liquidity through isolated pools, helping communities thrive during the early stages of price discovery.
trenUSD, an over-collateralized stablecoin, serves as the cornerstone for liquidity within the Tren Finance Ecosystem, enabling users to trust its value through transparent collateral backing visible on block explorers. Its stability is ensured through overcollateralized loans, and dependable game-theory maintaining a soft peg to ~$1. This approach establishes trenUSD as a dependable and resilient stablecoin, aptly named “Tren” in homage to its robust and bullish nature, mirroring the strength and growth potential it aims to bring to the DeFi space. We encourage everyone to familiarise themselves with our documentation on trenUSD. The section on differentiating between total supply versus circulating supply is vital to know, and makes for a great quiz question for upcoming campaigns!
Given that protocol design is dependent on assumptions about the future, TrenUSD acts as a soft peg and does not provide assurances for price stability.
Tren Finance will kick off with a community-first strategy, prioritizing user engagement and feedback in the development process. This approach ensures that our innovations are not only technologically advanced but also deeply aligned with the needs and aspirations of our community. By fostering an inclusive and responsive environment, we aim to cultivate a platform that resonates with users and empowers them to shape the future of DeFi. We strive to be memeing alongside all of our users in Discord in real-time as volatility enters the market on a day-to-day basis. We will soon announce our official discord server. We’re looking forward to meeting and incentivizing our most active participants.
It should go without saying, but it doesn’t. So; This is not financial advice. Navigating the volatile DeFi market requires a proactive approach to risk management. Tren Finance emphasizes the importance of understanding leverage, the volatility of crypto assets, and the secure management of private keys. We simply provide tools and front-end services to our users, encouraging them to make informed decisions that align with their risk tolerance and investment goals.
So, as we prepare to launch Tren Finance, we hope that our mission and the narrative behind what we’re building is more clear. We’re infused with a vision that extends far beyond today’s DeFi landscape. We acknowledge the audacity of our promises, understanding that trust and credibility are treasures earned over time. We invite the DeFi community to join us on a journey fueled by a belief in our experienced team’s ability to deliver a secure, user-centric product. Unlocking liquidity for long-tail assets is not just about strengthening the DeFi’s weakest links — it’s about paving the way for mass adoption. A secure and dependable DeFi platform that lives up to its promises has the power to bridge the gap between traditional finance and Web3, dismantling hesitations and igniting a global shift towards an inclusive financial ecosystem. With your memes and our dedication, there are no bounds to the heights we can achieve as a community.
Tren Finance is a CDP protocol designed to provide liquidity for various types of assets. Our team comprises of core contributors from various successful DeFi projects, boasting a combined TVL surpassing $1 billion. Drawing insights from our experiences at Venom, MakerDAO, Ajna, Parity Technologies, Parallel Finance, Casper Labs, and more, we bring a wealth of knowledge to the table.
We are excited to unveil numerous use cases for users interested in exploring leveraged staking, restaking and farming opportunities.
