In recent news, Arbitrum-based projects are gaining momentum in the DeFi space, with promising developments and increasing adoption. Here are the top five projects listed on KuCoin that are utilizing Arbitrum’s technology and offering innovative solutions to the DeFi ecosystem.

Leading the list is Synapse (SYN), a cross-chain communication network that connects popular layer1 and layer2 networks. With the ability to seamlessly bridge native assets between different blockchain ecosystems and develop cross-chain dApps, Synapse is integrated across several blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Avalanche, Optimism, and Polygon. Its trustless and optimistic messaging router system ensures maximum security during the cross-chain transfer of data and assets.

Gains Network (GNS) is another promising project on Arbitrum and Polygon, developing gTrade, a highly liquid and efficient decentralized platform for leveraged trading. The synthetic architecture gives gTrade higher capital efficiency, low trading fees, and a wide range of leverage options and trading pairs. The GNS token and ERC-721 NFTs drive the project’s operations, revenue capture, and governance. gTrade offers leverage up to 150x on crypto trading pairs, 1000x on forex, 100x on stocks, and 35x on trading indices.

Radiant Capital (RDNT) is a DeFi protocol on the Arbitrum ecosystem that supports cross-chain lending and borrowing of assets. The omnichain money market allows users to deposit any major crypto asset on any major blockchain and borrow a wide variety of crypto assets across multiple blockchain ecosystems. Radiant supports the following assets: DAI, USDC, USDT, ETH, and WBTC. The platform offers competitive APYs for lenders and borrowers and boasts a TVL of over $365 million.

Dopex (DPX) is a decentralized options exchange protocol operating on Arbitrum, offering the highest liquidity with minimal losses for option writers and the maximum possible gains for option buyers. Users can provide option liquidity through covered calls or cash-secured puts and earn passive income for their contribution. The protocol’s liquidity pools allow options traders to exit the market and sell their tokenized positions quickly and conveniently at discounted rates.

Finally, Camelot Token (GRAIL) is an ecosystem-focused and community-driven DEX developed on the Arbitrum network with a dual-AMM design to support volatile and stable token swaps. Camelot DEX offers a unique approach to liquidity based on non-fungible staked positions that offer more efficient handling of locks on staked positions, higher capital efficiency, and reusability. The DEX uses two native tokens – Camelot Token (GRAIL) and its escrowed version xGRAIL for farming rewards, while xGRAIL doubles up as the protocol’s governance token.

These five projects represent the cutting edge of DeFi innovation on the Arbitrum network. With increased adoption and support from the wider crypto community, we can expect to see even more exciting projects emerge on this promising network in the future.
