Battle of the DeFi Tokens: RenQ Finance, HedgeUp, and Uniswap. Who Will Be the Biggest Platform?

The post Battle of the DeFi Tokens: RenQ Finance, HedgeUp, and Uniswap. Who Will Be the Biggest Platform? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Decentralized finance (DeFi) has been a hotbed of innovation. In 2018, the space gave us the revolutionary decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap. And now, we are seeing the rise of novel platforms, like HedgeUp’s (HDUP) Web3 investment marketplace, and innovative solutions like RenQ Finance’s all-in-one DeFi platform. 

The next ten years are expected to be the decade when the space matures. When that happens, which of these platforms will be the biggest? 

RenQ Finance: a unified DeFi ecosystem

RenQ (RENQ) Finance aims to bring the user experience that’s currently only available in centralized finance (CeFi) to the DeFi space. To do this, the project is creating a platform that connects isolated blockchains. This enables cross-chain asset transfer, which will provide the underlying support for their ecosystem. 

This DeFi ecosystem is vast. According to RenQ (RENQ) Finance, their ecosystem will consist of a multi-chain wallet to serve all the trading requirements of users. They will be able to use this wallet on RenQ’s multi-chain DEX to trade assets from different chains. 

There will also be an aggregator, a vault where investors can earn compound interest on their holdings, a DeFi & NFT launchpad,  and a lending protocol. All these will be managed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) whose members are RENQ holders. 

RenQ (RENQ) Finance’s presale has just concluded after investors bought all available RENQ tokens. 

Uniswap: decentralized exchange

Uniswap is the most popular decentralized exchange (DEX). The platform was launched in November 2018 on the Ethereum blockchain. It introduced an innovative automated market maker (AMM) model. This model replaced the traditional order book model which proved ineffective for decentralized trading. 

AMMs allow users to trade directly from their non-custodial wallet, and Uniswap is the biggest of them all. It originally started on the Ethereum blockchain. Now, it has gone on to support Binance Chain (BSC), Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, and Celo. 

Uniswap’s biggest problems have been the cost of swaps on Ethereum and low liquidity on the other chains. Fortunately, Ethereum is planning a series of upgrades that should make transactions cheaper. On the other hand, the liquidity problem on the other chains will likely resolve itself with time. 

HegdeUp: alternative assets investments

HedgeUp (HDUP) is very different from RenQ Finance and Uniswap. While these deal primarily with crypto assets, HedgeUp (HDUP) is all about real-world assets. 

The platform will serve as a marketplace where people will trade alternative assets on a chain. They will be able to trade products like gold, diamonds, watches, artwork, and more by buying and selling NFTs backed by real assets. 

This platform is in the middle of a vast ecosystem that consists of a banking app and wallet, an education platform, a metaverse, and a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). 

HedgeUp (HDUP) is currently being built on the Ethereum blockchain. However, there are plans to move it to the Binance Chain (BSC) and the Stellar blockchain. These offer faster and cheaper transactions than Ethereum. Stellar is also more suited for real-world asset transfer. 

Overall, since HedgeUp (HDUP) is venturing into a relatively untapped market, it has a higher growth ceiling than the other platforms in this list. The project is currently in its presale phase, presenting an opportunity for investors to jump in before it becomes big.
