      <title>Decentralized Finance Development: A Brief Guide</title>
      <dc:creator>VanessaJane</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 25 Nov 2020 07:48:58 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/amvanessajane/decentralized-finance-development-a-brief-guide-3aik</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/amvanessajane/decentralized-finance-development-a-brief-guide-3aik</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.blockchainappfactory.com/decentralized-finance-defi-development"&gt;Decentralized finance development&lt;/a&gt; makes use of blockchain technology and offers access to financial services for everyone in the world without the involvement of any intermediaries. It mostly operates through DApps on platforms like Ethereum. It is permissionless in nature and uses public distributed ledgers in its daily operations. It covers majorly borrowing, lending, investment, payments, insurance, trading, and asset management. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;
  
  
  The Enormous Rise of Defi Development
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;➼ According to DeFi pulse, which closely tracks the industry, a whopping $14.17 billion have been allocated for various projects. &lt;br&gt;
Some of the heavyweight projects include MakerDAO, Compound, Aave, Uniswap, Synthetix, and Balancer. &lt;br&gt;
➼ Ethereum has the largest number of applications, user activity, and in volume traded. &lt;br&gt;
➼ EOS possesses a huge transaction volume. &lt;br&gt;
➼ Bitcoin has a successful DeFi application named the Lightning Network. It offers instant payments enforced by smart contracts, is scalable, charges very low fees, and offers cross-chain atomic swaps.&lt;br&gt;
➼ DeFi will get a big boost if Ethereum 2.0 is successfully launched in December 2020. It will optimize the network architecture without compromising on security and scalability. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Main Advantages Offered by Decentralized Finance Solutions (DeFi)
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;⇝ It is highly resistant to transaction censorship by the different central authorities. This ensures worldwide participation without any economic and social discrimination by eliminating the role of third parties from the system. &lt;br&gt;
⇝ The user has full control over his assets through his private keys. He need not deposit his funds anywhere and the system is non-custodial in nature. &lt;br&gt;
⇝ Price and market efficiency is ensured as principal-agent risks are minimized and all the personal interests are governed by a well-defined and transparent protocol.&lt;br&gt;
⇝ Users can become part of DeFi projects without even having a bank account or a valid credit score. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Challenges Blocking the Growth of Decentralized Finance Development
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;• The entire DeFi ecosystem is still undergoing a lot of technical experiments and innovation. The user experience offered is still unintuitive. &lt;br&gt;
• Centralized financial systems possess more liquidity than DeFi projects. Liquidity is critical as it acts as the backbone of price efficiency. &lt;br&gt;
• Since there is no credit score requirement, the products are overcollateralized. This reduces the leverage for professional traders.&lt;br&gt;
• In case there are any bugs in the smart contract in the form of overflows, underflows, and reentrancy attacks, it can lead to false or fraudulent transactions which are irreversible on the immutable blockchain network. &lt;br&gt;
• Operational risks are also present if there is a failure or manipulation of price feeds and complex governance protocols. &lt;br&gt;
• Ethereum is facing some network congestion issues which leads to delay in processing transactions contributing to market inefficiency and problems in distributing information to the different participants on a timely basis. &lt;br&gt;
• Since transactions compete directly with each other based on the amount of gas fees, transactions with lower gas fees may be left pending at lower priorities. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Different Applications of Defi Development
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Borrowing and lending&lt;/strong&gt; - With a huge increase in business activities, the need for credit has skyrocketed. Lenders can offer cryptocurrencies to the borrowers and receive interest income regularly. The borrower has the option to short an asset and create leverage. Dharma is one of the popular DeFi lending protocols where more than 2000 different assets are available and it also offers a non-custodial smart wallet with more than 4 million token pairs. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stablecoins&lt;/strong&gt; - Stablecoins emerged out of the need to counter the extreme market volatility in cryptocurrencies. It will generally be pegged to a leading fiat currency. MakerDAO offers a stablecoin named DAI which is a decentralized currency with a stable price governed by smart contracts and can be used in games, wallets, and DeFi platforms. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Decentralized exchanges&lt;/strong&gt; - Cryptocurrencies can be directly exchanged between a buyer and a seller without any control by central authorities. IDEX is a popular decentralized exchange which has a high-performing matching engine and accepts advanced order types. The funds can be handled by a private key and are safeguarded by an open-source smart contract. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Derivatives, exotic assets, and prediction markets&lt;/strong&gt; - It offers advanced financial instruments like index tracker, puts and call, and futures. It can be used for leverage trading and risk management. Synthetix is a popular derivatives liquidity protocol and users can gain on-chain exposure to a variety of assets. Rewards will be earned by providing collateral to the Synthetix protocol. It offers derivatives trading, staking, and decentralized asset management. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Insurance&lt;/strong&gt; - The need for insurance has increased these days owing to the huge number of risks and uncertainty present around us. DeFi insurance projects protect users from various contingencies like price risk, counterparty default risk, technological risk, and network risk. Etherisc is a well-known insurance platform which offers different kinds of insurance like flight delay insurance, hurricane protection,  crop insurance, social insurance, collateral protection for crypto-backed loans, and crypto wallet insurance. It has mainly three platform layers, a generic insurance framework, a decentralized insurance platform, and a decentralized insurance protocol. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Future Expectations for Decentralized Finance Solutions (DeFi)
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With more digitization and adoption of blockchain technology, DeFi will witness widespread usage in the years to come. It needs more professional management and has to cater to a wider target audience and not just blockchain enthusiasts. The main roadblocks are low liquidity, intuitive user interface, capital inefficiency, hidden technological risks, and regulatory uncertainty. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It can play a huge role in cross-border interconnectivity. The main ways in which &lt;a href="https://www.blockchainappfactory.com/decentralized-finance-defi-development"&gt;Decentralized finance solutions&lt;/a&gt; will change conventional financial systems are in the form of decision making, risk-taking, and record keeping. Many institutional investors are moving to DeFi these days to break free from the outdated and inefficient traditional financial system. &lt;/p&gt;

      <guid>https://dev.to/amvanessajane/the-right-way-to-build-a-dapp-on-the-tron-5g08</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;By challenging the prevailing status quo to decentralize the internet, TRON has come a long way since its ambitious launch three years ago. It possesses a couple of advantages due to its high speed, low fees, and massive scalability. It is capable of processing transactions speedily than Ethereum as it uses the delegated Proof of Consensus mechanism. The ultimate aim of TRON is to build a strong global digital content entertainment system with distributed storage technology for cost-effective sharing of content. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is currently the largest decentralized ecosystem in the world with over 100 million users. TRON’s main business areas are cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, Dapps, and peer-to-peer file sharing. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It also has an exclusive virtual machine for deploying smart contracts and building new Dapps. TRX is the digital currency for TRON. TRX allows the developers of Dapps to create TRC10 and TRC20 tokens on the TRON blockchain network. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The major services in &lt;a href="https://bit.ly/2FhdA0B"&gt;TRON DAPP development&lt;/a&gt; include TRC10 and TRC20 token development, TRON wallet integration, node setup, smart contract development and decentralized exchange creation. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;
  
  
  Key Features of Tron Dapps Software Development
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;➼ &lt;strong&gt;Data liberation&lt;/strong&gt; - The uncontrolled flow of data in the platform allows users to easily review and export their data which would prove to be handy while distributing their digital assets. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;➼ &lt;strong&gt;Can be used as a medium of exchange&lt;/strong&gt; - Just like Bitcoin, TRX can also be used to pay for availing various products and services. Any user of the TRON wallet can send and receive TRX.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;➼ &lt;strong&gt;Can be utilized for obtaining rights and privileges&lt;/strong&gt; - Every holder of a TRX coin can exercise his vote during the TRON elections. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;➼ &lt;strong&gt;Supports multiple languages&lt;/strong&gt; - By adhering entirely to the Google Protobuf, TRON supports code generated in numerous languages such as Python, C, C++, and Java. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;➼ &lt;strong&gt;Ensures faster processing of transactions&lt;/strong&gt; - The costs involved in power consumption are significantly reduced which leads to lesser strain on the system ensuring safe transactions. Its speed is higher than the range of Ethereum and Bitcoin. This ensures high throughput for TRON.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;➼ &lt;strong&gt;Quick scalability&lt;/strong&gt; - By allowing an enormous amount of users to access its platform, TRON is highly scalable due to its robust smart contract and it can be used in different industries in a variety of ways. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;➼ &lt;strong&gt;Adequate storage facilities&lt;/strong&gt; - TRON has two storage layers in its platforms namely the block and state storage. It consists of two types, KhaosDB and LevelDB. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Various Applications of Tron
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;⇝ &lt;strong&gt;Gaming&lt;/strong&gt; - Players can earn valuable cryptocurrencies by playing games on the TRON blockchain network. The games mainly relate to casino and gambling. Some of the popular games on TRON include Crop Bytes, Aftermath Islands, Magic Academy and Eggies World. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;⇝ &lt;strong&gt;Fund management&lt;/strong&gt; - Direct token transactions for payments and for playing games can be executed via the Guild wallet for desktop users. Mobile users have access to the Math wallet which is a multi-platform cross-chain wallet that supports close to 38 public chain ecosystems. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;⇝ &lt;strong&gt;Content creation&lt;/strong&gt; - Exodus is a free platform for storage of content using a peer to peer distribution mechanism. It supports the acceptance of multiple cryptocurrencies. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  The Popular Tools Used in Tron
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;⇝ &lt;strong&gt;TRON BOX&lt;/strong&gt; - It is a compilation of all the available smart contracts on the platform and configures the entire project to prepare the full node. It can be quickly set up and launched from the terminal. It compiles, migrates and tests the network.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;⇝ &lt;strong&gt;TRON Grid&lt;/strong&gt; - It renders an API interface into the TRON network. This permits the interested developers to access the important tools and develop the decentralized applications on the TRON protocol.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;⇝ &lt;strong&gt;TRON Web&lt;/strong&gt; - It is just like JavaScript with an in-built API function. A large number of default values can be set for fetching, creating, and dispatching the transactions. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;⇝ &lt;strong&gt;TRON Station&lt;/strong&gt; - It functions like a web application and a JavaScript API library with a simple user interface for calculating the total energy and bandwidth consumption on the TRON network. The information related to energy and bandwidth can be quickly reviewed by the developers. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Steps Involved in Tron Dapp Development
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;➼ &lt;strong&gt;Creation of an account before developing your business idea&lt;/strong&gt; - Get to know how to use the TRONlink Chrome wallet for connecting to the TRON blockchain network easily. Select your network as Shasta which is the official testnet for TRON. Request some Trx coins for starting your Dapp on TRON. Copy and paste your account address to receive the Trx coins. Once you configure the TRONBOX, write down the address where the contracts were deployed to. Learn how to code in the Solidity programming language. This will allow your Dapp to interact with the TRON blockchain network. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;➼ &lt;strong&gt;Develop smart contracts&lt;/strong&gt; - Establish smart contracts for monitoring the operations without human intervention. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;➼ &lt;strong&gt;Create tokens&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;a href="https://bit.ly/3jL9X1W"&gt;Develop tokens on the TRON platform&lt;/a&gt; either on TRC10 or TRC20 token standards. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;➼ &lt;strong&gt;Install the necessary development tools&lt;/strong&gt; - Take steps to install the development applications after reading all the relevant developer documents thoroughly. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;➼ &lt;strong&gt;Set up the API’s&lt;/strong&gt; - Install the needed API’s for customizing and building your Dapp. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h5&gt;
  
  
  The Future in Store for Tron Dapp Platform Development
&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It has a strong future ahead and will make significant inroads in the cryptocurrency industry by pocketing a heavy market capitalization. Six stages have been planned by TRON till 2027. The six stages are Exodus, Odyssey, Great Voyage, Apollo, Star Trek, and Eternity. Its price has been steadily rising despite high volatility in the crypto industry. By promising complete decentralization and an open-source platform, it wants to challenge big online titans such as Google, Facebook, YouTube, Apple, and Amazon as they follow the strategy of centralized management in handling online media.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;By having influential investors behind all its major projects, its execution has been well thought out. It is a game-changer as it facilitates buying and selling of digital content without the presence of any intermediaries. It needs to prove the safety of its proof of delegated stake mechanism. By supporting content creators directly for their efforts, TRON ticks the right boxes by being a store of value, an investment opportunity and a hub for trading other currencies.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Factors to Be Consider While Promoting an ICO</title>
      <dc:creator>VanessaJane</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 03 Aug 2020 06:21:46 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/amvanessajane/factors-to-be-consider-while-promoting-an-ico-1f6k</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/amvanessajane/factors-to-be-consider-while-promoting-an-ico-1f6k</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is an innovative method of raising funds for startups to implement their cryptocurrency operations smoothly. It requires a well-versed marketing strategy to have an instant impact among investors. ICO offers an easier method when compared to the stringent regulations imposed by banks and venture capitalists. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;
  
  
  Some Factors That Every Firm Must Keep in Mind Are
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Verifying the validity of the token&lt;/strong&gt; - Potential investors will look at the value addition offered by the token in the platform. Every firm must focus on the problems that they are going to solve in the industry through the token to make a big difference. This would enable it to convey its benefits. Since investors would have so many ICOs’ kept in their mind as alternatives, they can make their decision quickly by analyzing the tokens.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Developing an experienced team&lt;/strong&gt; - It is important to hire well-versed professionals who can play a significant role in executing the project successfully. Disclose their backgrounds to the audience. As operations grow in scale, a firm can employ advisors to guide it ahead. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Disclose the project’s vision transparently&lt;/strong&gt; - Since the existence of ICOs’ is being threatened by narrow-minded governments and regulatory authorities, it is essential to gain the trust of investors. Appropriate legal recognition will go a long way in creating transparency. Conducting events, conferences, Question and Answer sessions would help a firm to improve its public perception and get confidence from potential investors. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Smart contract development&lt;/strong&gt; - It is a self-executing program that is critical for executing the operations. A poorly designed smart contract can lead to heavy losses for companies and investors. It should be tested regularly to find out any bugs in code. Regular audits can prevent attempts of hacking and increase the capacity of the server to withstand high loads. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fix the details regarding the token sale&lt;/strong&gt; -  Changes in the terms and conditions of token sale can be done during the initial stages. Last-minute modifications just a few days before the official sale are not advisable as it can prove to be a huge surprise to investors. Sufficient effort must be devoted to the preparation of the whitepaper. Some investors will study the technical document in its entirety to understand the utility of the token, issues that the company is going to solve, the number of tokens, and the distribution plan. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Plan diligently ahead of the official launch of the token sale&lt;/strong&gt; -  Shortlist an official date and time that would be convenient to all investors across different time zones. Ensure that you curate your token with maximum value-addition. Provide multiple payment methods and comply with KYC/AML guidelines.  Investors will have a close watch on the financial contribution made from the company’s side. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Determine your budget&lt;/strong&gt; - Prepare a solid financial plan and have an emergency fund if things spiral out of control. An ICO advisor will help you to reduce superfluous expenses. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;a href="https://bit.ly/2PkyzkE"&gt;How to Launch Your ICO: A Complete Guide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Aspects That Every Company Must Avoid During Promoting an ICO
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Not following the law&lt;/strong&gt; - Firms that do not comply with the rules and regulations established by governments and certified authorities can either lose their licence or may be forced to wind up their operations. Nations such as China and South Korea have banned ICOs. Social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter have restricted advertisements related to new coin launches. A legal team with great knowledge of different markets can prevent the occurrence of such a crisis. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Absence of a marketing plan&lt;/strong&gt; -  Most of the ICOs’ do not fulfill their fund-raising targets because they are not marketed effectively. Once the token sale and whitepaper have been prepared, it is important to implement the marketing plan across different channels. There are many well-known and experienced &lt;a href="https://bit.ly/2DdaPfQ"&gt;ICO Marketing agencies&lt;/a&gt; that execute campaigns through social media networks and forums. They also provide influencer marketing, community management and public relations as part of their services. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buying followers&lt;/strong&gt; - Keeping fast growth as a motive, many ICOs’ that do not have many customers are buying followers on platforms such as Telegram. This tactic is used to build a sizable social media presence ahead of the official launch of the offer. It would ultimately lead to declining interest in the crypto community once they have spotted the manipulative tactics. More importance should be devoted towards value creation. Small investors can get tricked by the huge amount of followers on social media though most of them would be paid or even bots.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engaging in illicit activities&lt;/strong&gt; -  A firm’s reputation would be spoiled if they aim at making a quick buck without delivering the promised services. Every company must openly disclose their operations, business objectives and the parties whom they work with. Similarly, manipulation of securities must be avoided at any cost. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skewed mining structure&lt;/strong&gt; - Investors can view an ICO with suspicion if it reserves a large amount of pre-minded tokens for themselves. This leads to a notion that the ICO wants to make short term financial gains and exit the market.  Investors should study the distribution strategy of tokens as pre-mining occurs before the public sale of tokens. Inequality would be created as early investors will benefit more from the tokens than the investors in the later stages. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Follow all the above guidelines diligently for running your &lt;a href="https://bit.ly/2DdaPfQ"&gt;ICO marketing strategy&lt;/a&gt; successfully and achieving your business goals within a realistic timeframe.&lt;/p&gt;
