1. DEX
DEX can be divided into two types: self-built flow pool (Uniswap) and aggregated third-party pool (Paraswap). The former requires users or market makers to provide tokens to build a liquidity pool, while the latter only needs to integrate a liquidity pool built by a third-party platform to provide services for users.
In contrast, the former is more important than the latter, because it provides a basic liquidity pool, and the handling fee is generally lower than the latter, because many aggregation exchanges such as Metamask swap and Zerion will charge additional fees to obtain income.
The advantage of the latter is that it aggregates the liquidity pools of multiple DEXs, quickly finds out the token pools that users need, and selects cheaper platforms to provide services for users.
As for the DEX interaction method, the most direct and basic way is to exchange tokens and add pools. During the interaction process, pay attention to handling fees, slippage losses and possible impermanent losses of token pools, especially the pools of new coins and new chains. In addition, there are generally not too many costs.
Generally, long-term interaction and tracking are required. Participate in official activities as much as possible. There may be POAP, NFT and Discord identity group rewards, which may become the certificates for future project party airdrops.
According to previous airdrops, the weight of each chain of the multi-chain is the same. Don't think that the main chain must interact, but when the GAS is low, it can be more insurance if you interact with it. Interact with other projects and try to make your own on-chain records reasonable.

In the recent A-round financing of US$15 million, the founder also launched the canto public chain not long ago and conducted an airdrop. It is also the best unissued currency aggregation exchange in Layer 2. It is recommended to use it in the interaction between Optimism and Arbitrum. The experience is good. If you are interested, you can collect a set of official NFT.
The founder is very resistant to the FTX exchange, it is best not to deposit and withdraw funds from FTX.
Clipper：https://clipper.exchange
Tens of millions of financing, but there is news that the parent company has equity financing. Focus on small transactions and build your own liquidity pool, but it seems unstable. Users who have deposited funds before have suffered impermanent losses. It is recommended to temporarily interact with the function of exchanging tokens.
Metamask swap：https://metamask.io/
Plug-in wallet leading application, almost everyone in the circle will use it. In the previous interview, it was officially confirmed that DAO will be established and Token will be issued, but the time has not been determined until now. However, the aggregated swap function built into the wallet is the only source of income for the entire team. The transaction volume has exceeded 20 billion US dollars, and the official fee is 1%.
There are currently 1.4 million users, but you can still use the swap function when there is a need to exchange tokens. Personally, I think that the exchange amount, times, time period, and POAP will be one of the weights, but it is very likely that users of phenomenal applications on the chain will be given weights, such as Uniswap, Safe, Opensea, etc.

2. Bridge
Bridge is an essential application for transferring tokens between different public chains. In the past, CEX such as Binance was used as a bridge to transfer tokens between different chains. It is very centralized but safe. With the continuous emergence of new public chains, the way of transferring tokens through CEX has been unable to keep up with the needs of users, so Bridges have begun to emerge, which are convenient, fast, decentralized but not very secure.
Due to the fact that it needs to be deployed on different types of public chains and complicated processes, it has led to frequent theft incidents, ranging from hundreds of millions of dollars to hundreds of millions of dollars. Many well-known teams have been hacked, so it is not recommended to use Too much funds are stored in the wallet of the cross-chain bridge, especially if it is developed by a small team, or the authorization is regularly cleaned up after using the bridge.
Almost all bridges that build their own token pools have already issued tokens, while most of the unissued tokens are aggregated cross-chain bridges. While there is no need to worry about funds being stolen due to interaction in the pool, the only functions that can be selected for interaction are cross-chain and participation in official activities.

Like DEX, Bridge needs to build its own token pool in different chains to provide services. There will also be aggregated cross-chain bridges. The former is more important and cheaper, while the latter provides more options but is more expensive.
Li.Fi：https://transferto.xyz
Millions of financing, there was news about the deployment of tokens before, but nothing happened later. The earliest aggregation cross-chain bridge, integrating third-party DEX and cross-chain bridge protocol to realize the conversion between different tokens and different chains, is a very novel idea.
At present, the experience after optimization is not bad, but it seems that the official approves of Hop's way of finding witches, and it is likely to follow suit.
Bungee：https://bungee.exchange
Socket, the parent company, has raised $5 million in seed round financing. Aggregated cross-chain bridges, like Li.Fi, can cross-chain multiple tokens. The more innovative point is the "Reful" function, which supports refueling (GAS) for other public chains.
Wormhole：https://www.portalbridge.com
The Block reported that it plans to raise $200 million in tokens, but there is no official confirmation. It was previously hacked and lost 300 million US dollars, but the compensation was finally completed. Keen on cross-chain transactions between EVM-based public chains and public chains such as Sol and Terra. The NFT cross-chain function has also been launched, but it has not yet been perfected.

3. Portfolio (Asset Kanban)
The original kanban may only provide statistical functions such as personal data and application data, but now more and more kanban integrate functions such as exchange, cross-chain and lending, and are becoming more and more comprehensive. However, there is currently no coin-issuing airdrop project on this track, so there is no reference rule. Simple interaction ideas, using integrated exchange, cross-chain, asset management and other functions.
DeFisaver：https://app.defisaver.com
No financing yet. Lending products such as COMP and AAVE are integrated, so that users can use these products in one stop instead of switching websites repeatedly, and can clearly see fund allocation and positions. In addition, it also integrates third-party DEX and Bridge to provide services for users.
It currently supports Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Optimism. It is recommended to use exchange, cross-chain, and loan functions on Layer 2, which may become one of the weights of future airdrops. The main network fee will be a little more expensive, so it is not recommended but you can interact with it.
Zapper：https://zapper.fi/
The seed round financing is 150w US dollars. In the V1 version, two seasons of NFT task activities were launched. The updated V2 version has cut off a lot of functions. In addition to the data boards about DeFi, DAO, and NFT, it plans to launch social functions and create new web3 applications.
The functions of DEX and Bridge are retained, and it is also the only function that can interact with the application besides purchasing a series of NFTs. It is also an aggregation protocol that supports quite a few public chains. At present, the mobile terminal is being tested, and anyone who holds an NFT can apply to participate.
Zerion：https://app.zerion.io/
tens of millions of financing. Recently, an additional handling fee has been charged for saving to the multi-signature treasury, but the handling fee can be waived for the purchase of Genesis series NFT. Treasury seems to be hinting at the imminent establishment of a DAO. Similarly, it has asset and investment dashboards and integrates DEX and Bridge functions. Not long ago, the mobile terminal and the NFT that can change with the accumulation of user transactions were launched.
In the investment function, you can buy encrypted funds created through Tokenset, and you can also use DEX and Bridge for daily interaction needs. Zerion is the first generation product of the asset management platform.
More and more asset management products are diversifying, from data viewing at the beginning, to one-stop applications integrating lending, funds, exchange and cross-chain, to NFT and web3, the functions are becoming more and more perfect. However, the status quo of multi-chain and multi-protocol has made users demand for asset management platforms in order to directly understand their own financial situation.
