Our Mission

The concept of "Liquidity is bandwidth" is a fascinating analogy that draws a parallel between the flow of data in the internet age and the flow of value in the emerging decentralized economy. Just as the internet required a significant increase in data bandwidth to enable the development of transformative applications like Netflix, YouTube, and cloud-based services, the decentralized economy requires a significant increase in liquidity to enable the free flow of value. Healthy liquidity is crucial for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) and other institutions operating in the decentralized economy. It allows for seamless transactions, reduces the risk of price slippage, and ensures that value can be exchanged efficiently and effectively. However, the current state of liquidity in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space is fragmented and inefficient, much like the dial-up phase of the internet.

In order to address this dire problem, we are trying to build the Decentralized Investment Bank. People often conflate investment banking with related services like commercial banking and prime brokerage. After all, TradFi behemoths like JPMorgan provide all these services under one roof. In its purest sense, investment banking connects capital suppliers with capital utilizers through bespoke offerings.

We at InfluxDAO are building liquidity infrastructure so that need of both demand side of liquidity (DAOs that are in need of sustainable liquidity), and the supply side of liquidity (Liquidity Providers looking for real yield) are met. Just like Radix DLTs philosophy of building full stack solution for the Decentralized Finance infrastructure, InfluxDAO is orchestrating a full stack approach to tackle the Liquidity Bandwidth challenge.

We are starting our journey by building from the very bottom of the Liquidity Stack, which is a reliable store of value, our stablecoin iUSD. Where you can mint iUSD by providing XRD as collateral. Followed by building Influx Bonds, where the goal is to deepen the liquidity of iUSD within the liquidity pools of InfluxDAO and to capture Protocol Owned Liquidity. Then we will be building Dual Pools, which when combined with the Influx Bonds could provide the best Liquidity-as-a-Service solution for DAOs looking for sustainable liquidity and Liquidity Providers looking for real yield.

Just as MakerDAO ignited the DeFi movement in Ethereum with the introduction of DAI, InfluxDAO is poised to spark a similar revolution on Radix. We're introducing iUSD, a highly capital efficient stablecoin. And we're not stopping there. We're rolling out a suite of Structured and Market Making Products that will create a flywheel effect for iUSD, propelling it, and InfluxDAO, to new heights in the DeFi space.

At InfluxDAO, we're not just building a future; we're shaping the future of decentralized finance. Join us on this journey, and let's redefine liquidity together.
