XSigma’s DeFi ecosystem will begin with the launch of its decentralized stablecoin exchange, which offers fair farming conditions for liquidity providers and an intuitive user interface for users. On suppliers side who provide cryptocurrencies for exchanges, is the system that uses users’ cryptocurrencies and earns them a potential reward from the exchange’s trading fees.

The protocol under development should have an intuitive interface and an easy-to-use platform, which offers a decentralized exchange for stablecoins.
A milestone of DeFi
What is DeFi? DeFi is the hottest trend in the blockchain industry, with more than $ 9 billion stuck in the ecosystem since the end of September.[1] Decentralized financial systems allow users to participate in blockchain markets and other alternative markets that have been developed on blockchain-based networks. It also allows for cross-border payments, as blockchain markets have no borders. As with any blockchain technology, there is maximum transparency and privacy security when used correctly.
XSigma’s DeFi protocol is launched at an opportune time in the blockchain arena. In addition to $ 9 billion currently stuck in DeFi [1], the cryptocurrency market continues to grow and has added billions of dollars in market capitalization over the past 12 months, as noted in publications such as Forbes, Bloomberg and Asia Times, all of which have stated that we are in the early stages of the next bull market in cryptocurrencies.
Many believe that DeFi is the new paradigm of global finance, supported by fundamental open source networks, free from centralization and intermediaries. Despite its rapid growth, DeFi has generally been the domain of niche tech startups backed by unproven teams. On the other hand, XSigma, being a subsidiary of a NASDAQ listed corporation gives xSigma a reputation and best-in-class over many other companies in this industry.
XSigma’s DeFi protocol plans to serve as an independent financial tool that provides a new level of transparency and legitimacy to smart contracts based on decentralized financial blockchains. Until the main network launch, users who want to be the first to participate in the DeFi protocol have a limited time to register for the whitelist, where they will be the first to receive updates on project developments. The protocol and further details on the new project are expected to be published in the coming weeks on the official website of the protocol www.xsigma.fi
ZK International launched xSigma as a research and development laboratory in 2018 to solve real-world infrastructure challenges. Its mandate was to explore new opportunities in smart contracts, supply chain management and other blockchain-based solutions. Since then xSigma has focused on decentralized finance, focusing on decentralized exchanges, stablecoins and lending protocols. The research lab is now actively working on its product ecosystem starting with the DeFi protocol. The ultimate goal is to build a range of financial tools and products for the burgeoning decentralized finance industry.
