DeFi, decentralized finance, the enabler for 99% to reach for wealth creation.
How to build DeFi ecosystem in a structural way to realize and fulfill its function?
1. What DeFi should be?
- WaykiChain’s approach to make finance decentralized
Gordon Gao
CEO of WaykiChain
2. • In the past 3 years, ETH locked
in Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
projects raised from nearly 0 to
2.6M
• Hundreds projects are running
or under developed on
Ethereum
Decentralized Finance
• WaykiChain launched its first
DeFi application: Wayki-CDP.
Over 15% WICC of total
amount were collaterallized
5. CDP under collapse
MakerDAO WaykiChain
24h Price Change ETH: -55% WICC: -51%
Collateralized assets before 2.18M ETH 25.6M WICC
Liquidation 100K ETH 1.25M WICC
Liquidation ratio 4.58% 4.8%
Collateralized assets after 2.35M ETH 28.15M WICC
Bad Debt $4M $0
7. Over-collateralization
At least 200% collateral rate to ensure
the overall value of WICC is over the
value of WUSD
Risk Reserve Funding Pool
During Black Swan Events, this fund is
used to close the insolvent CDPs.
Clearing mechanism
Liquidators can purchase discounted
assets
Part of the penalty fee will be used to
charge Risk Reserve Fund
Emergency Shutdown
When the overall collateralization rate falls
below 80% during Black Swan Events, the
system will be suspended.
After the market stabilizes or rebounds, the
community can initiate a restart proposal.
Collateral Rate
200%
150%
100%
80%
Four mechanisms to ensure the system stability
10. Attack types Description History Attack WaykiChain Solution
Oracle Attack
Change the price feeding
program and manipulate
market price to make profit
One of the APIs on the Synthetix platform
was reported a 1000x higher price for the
actual rate for Korean Won (KRW)
(Synthetix)
21 block producers act as the
reporter. And moving median
algorithm is adopted to avoid
misreporting on single node.
Compatibility
Issues
Reasonable use cases in one
protocol may mean
disasters in another with
infinite interoperability
Make use of flash loan to borrow low-
liquidity assets and sell them in another
protocol (Kyber and Uniswap). Then make
profit by shorting this low-liquidity asset.
(dYdX,bZx,Uniswap,Kyber)
Important functions like DEX, price
feeding, and stable coin developed
on the bottom layer of blockchain
as basic infrastructure.
Assets Standard
Smart-contract generated
assets abuse
dForce and Uniswap has compatibility
issues with ERC-777 tokens as it is not a
normal Ethereum standard, which makes
re-entrancy attack available.
(dForce and Uniswap)
Asset standards are defined on the
bottom layer of blockchain. 5
assets types supported.
