The  Babylon Booster Grant has been successfully awarded to CaviarNine, a vanguard project of the #RunsOnRadix program.

What is CaviarNine?

Aimed at delivering a seamless and efficient Web3 experience, CaviarNine provides a range of sophisticated financial tools to blend traditional finance with the innovative spirit of DeFi seamlessly.

Addressing the issue of DeFi fragmentation, CaviarNine provides a platform for efficient trading and diverse liquidity options. With features like the LSU Pool for optimized staking, Shape Liquidity for focused liquidity provision, an on-ledger Order Book for precise trading, Index Pools for diversified liquidity, and the Aggregator for comprehensive access to trading dApps, CaviarNine stands as a testament to continuous innovation, aimed at delivering a user-centric, efficient, and expert-driven DeFi platform.

With an ethos rooted in democratizing financial products, CaviarNine, led by founders Oliver Scott Simons and Chris Colman, ambitiously strides towards refining the DeFi landscape, making financial products accessible for everyone.

Since the last RunsOnRadix feature, the CaviarNine team has not only set but surpassed remarkable milestones. They pioneered the first concentrated liquidity pools and introduced a decentralized order book on Radix, establishing new benchmarks within the ecosystem. In addition, they were the first to unveil a liquid staking pool on Radix, further cementing their position as innovators.

The team's commitment to excellence is evident in the seamless and sophisticated design of the CaviarNine UI/UX, which has been lauded for its user-friendly and elegant interface. This dedication to quality and functionality has set a new standard within the Radix community.

Building on this momentum, CaviarNine has recently launched its Swap Widget, a powerful tool that allows any website to integrate the capability for visitors to swap tokens directly through CaviarNine. This feature not only expands the platform's reach but also simplifies the user experience, making DeFi more accessible to a broader audience.

At the time of writing, CaviarNine has also achieved a significant financial milestone, surpassing $4 million in Total Value Locked. This achievement is a clear indicator of the trust and value users place in the platform.

Adding to their list of accolades, CaviarNine's Shape Liquidity, their Concentrated AMM DEX, has been rigorously evaluated by Hacken and has received a perfect 10/10 score across Documentation, Code, Architecture, and Security. This score is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and expertise of the CaviarNine team, highlighting their unwavering commitment to security and excellence in the DeFi space.

So, what's on the horizon?

CaviarNine is setting its sights high with strategic goals that promise to elevate its platform to new heights in the DeFi space. They are diligently working to increase the Total Value Locked in their innovative Shape Liquidity pools and the LSU Pool liquid staking product. The ambition is clear and quantifiable: to secure the top position in TVL and trading volume on DefiLlama for the Radix ecosystem.

Looking forward, users can anticipate significant enhancements to the platform. The CaviarNine team is focused on the continuous development of the UI/UX, the launch of Index Pools, and the introduction of a Perpetual XRD product, ensuring that the platform remains at the forefront of innovation.

CaviarNine has recently introduced an innovative update to their comprehensive valuator tool, enhancing the user experience with a feature that allows for the immediate claim of Unstaking XRD. With the addition of the Instant XRD Unstake functionality, CaviarNine ensures that users enjoy seamless access to their assets without delay. This development reaffirms CaviarNine's commitment to providing a user-centric platform where convenience and efficiency are paramount.

In terms of compliance, CaviarNine is ahead of the curve, running a fully decentralized dApp and planning for a DAO launch. Their utility tokens are designed to comply with regulatory standards, avoiding classification as securities. Moreover, they are proactively exploring KYC solutions to integrate once Instapass becomes available for DeFi platforms.

The Radix Advantage: A Founder's Perspective

At the heart of CaviarNine's trailblazing spirit is Radix, a foundation they consider superior for its robustness and innovation in the DeFi space. It's this underlying strength that empowers them to develop groundbreaking features. 

Here's how they articulate the unique position they're continuing to carve out in the industry:

“The Radix Advantage... Well it feels like wielding the master key to the next generation of DeFi. It's like crafting with a substance that's the adamantium of blockchain/ledger technology — resilient, adaptive and designed with a keen sense of user and developer needs. It's about the confidence that comes from engaging with a system where asset management is revolutionary, transactions are fail-safe and creativity is unleashed. This is why at CaviarNine, we're not just participating in the DeFi evolution; we're leading the DeFi revelation, one innovative solution at a time.”
