Akash Network is the world's first decentralized cloud computing marketplace. Functioning as the DeCloud for DeFi, Akash accelerates scale and price performance for high-growth industries, including DeFi, decentralized organizations, and applications, as well as machine learning/AI. Leveraging 85% of underutilized cloud capacity in 8.4 million data centers, Akash will enable anyone to buy and sell cloud compute with efficiency, flexibility, and security.

The Akash Token (AKT) is a native utility token and the core of Akash's sovereign proof-of-stake chain. Akash Token Economics uses AKT to solve volatility while ensuring its public blockchain's economic security. The platform leverages AKT to govern, secure the blockchain, and provide a default mechanism to store and exchange value. The token also acts as the reserve currency in Akash's multi-currency settlement ecosystem, enabled by Cosmos’s Inter-Blockchain Communications (IBC) protocol. The company recently partnered with the Interchain Foundation to accelerate the development of the IBC interoperability protocol and bring it to market. Akash Network’s integral contribution to the development of IBC will enable the company to adopt and benefit from interchain technologies faster than any other company.

Akash is developing a faster, more efficient, and lower cost cloud for DeFi with its advanced containerization technology and a unique staking model. As global demand for throughput and content has increased, the company sees enormous potential in the expanding cloud computing industry, projected to be a $370 billion market by 2022, currently dominated by an oligarchy of four cloud service providers (CSP), including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Alibaba Cloud.

To provide the market with more flexible and efficient services, and significant cost savings, Akash offers companies and developers a new alternative at a price up to 10x slower than the market. As Akash Network supports generic cloud compute, its serverless computing platform is compatible with all cloud providers and all applications that run on the cloud, easily integrating with a company’s existing technology stack.

On September 25th, Akash launched it's Mainnet 1 with 64 validators. Akash Mainnet 1 focuses on network stability and enables staking and governance operations, including the ability to delegate to validators and vote on governance proposals. In October, the platform will open its Phase 3 Testnet to serve as the launchpad for Mainnet 2 with one million AKTs in rewards. Mainnet 2 will go live in Q4 2020.

"The primary listing of AKT is one of the most important projects of BitMax.io in Q3," says Shane Molidor, Global Head of Business Development at BitMax.io. "BitMax.io applauds the Akash team for bringing a DeCloud alternative to the booming Cloud Service Provider (CSP) market. We aim to provide extensive support for AKT spanning from listing, staking, and more extensive infrastructure buildout."

Linear Finance is the first cross-chain compatible decentralized delta-one asset trading protocol that allows users to create and trade synthetic assets (Liquids) in a seamless, cost-effective, fast, and secure manner. Currently, exposure and cross-asset investment arrangements require a long settlement time of T2+, resulting in an adverse price movement for traders. Linear Finance explores the tremendous value in seamlessly gaining and switching exposures for cross-asset investment by offering users instant settlement on the blockchain.

LINA, used for collateral and governance, is the native token of Linear Finance. LINA is the base collateral to mint LUSD, which is utilized to build synthetic Liquid. The LINA debt pool functions as the backbone of the protocol, as it enables decentralized trading with infinite liquidity while rendering no counterparty or slippage. Token holders of LINA are entitled to participate in the LinearDAO, which allows them to access proposing, voting, and initiating governance decisions about the platform as the protocol matures towards a DAO structure in the long term.

Aside from Linear Finance’s cross-chain compatibility that reduces gas fees, block times, and adds TPS, the platform’s market-making design mechanism incentivizes actions to stabilize the collateralized debt pool, thus preventing debt pool inflation. When users trade on Linear Finance, they also benefit from dynamic price feeds with higher refresh frequencies (as much as one second).

With regards to the listing collaboration, Shane Molidor, Global Head of Business Development at BitMax.io, addresses,

" The listing of LINA renders a strong start of October for BitMax.io. With the help of Linear Finance’s cross-chain compatibility, BitMax.io sees the future possibility where cross-asset trading can be achieved with higher speed and more security, which ultimately would mitigate unnecessary price loss for traders.”

BitMax.io will also join as a liquidity provider once Linear Finance’s mainnet is launched and offer its users a variety of services regarding synthetic assets issued on the Linear Finance platform, including, but not limited to, the minting of synthetic assets and staking of the LINA Token. BitMax.io will further support the Linear Finance ecosystem by listing its native stablecoin – LUSD, once it is launched.

DeFiner is a decentralized finance network for digital savings, loans, and payments. Its FIN token is an ERC 20, Ethereum-based, cryptographic token connecting all parts of the DeFiner ecosystem. FIN's core use cases include distributed profits, proof of premium (POP), and voting rights.

In contrast to its competitors, DeFiner features a deposit strategy that centers on yield farming and expanding collateral options for its users. The revenue generated from 10% interest sharing and the auto-insured deposit insurance set DeFiner apart from other decentralized finance networks. DeFiner’s suite of tools also includes a yield aggregator, making the platform appealing for retail investors, institutions, and sophisticated yield farmers.

DeFiner is designed to be a solution to the broad spread between borrowing and lending rates. The platform successfully bridges this gap by depositing excess capital to DeFi money markets like Compound, optimizing DeFiner's capital utilization to remain above 85%. This gives depositors on DeFiner an average advantage of 2.46% interest greater than those deposited with Compound.

The DeFiner team brings together expertise from the technology and finance industries, with team members coming from the Federal Reserve and companies like Microsoft and Google. After the platform launch, DeFiner plans to release a wallet, savings product, and mobile application. The team engaged Trail of Bits and Consensus Diligence, the firms with proven track records of thorough, successful audits, to audit the security of the platform.

"The primary listing of DeFiner on BitMax.io will be beneficial for all involved – DeFiner, BitMax.io users, as well as users of the DeFiner platform," remarks Shane Molidor, Global Head of Business Development at BitMax.io, "DeFiner provides an optimized solution to capital utilization. The listing collaboration advocates and stimulates the development of this solution, and at the same time, brings the solution directly to BitMax.io users."

HARD Protocol (previously Harvest.io) is a cross-chain money market that enables users to lend, borrow, and earn with their digital assets. HARD, the native governance token for the protocol, launched with the mainnet upgrade that took place on October 15th, 2020. The token can be used as collateral in the HARD Protocol supply and borrowing markets, as well as for voting on the management and evolution of the platform.

In contrast to other money markets, HARD opens DeFi to the larger cryptocurrency market, taking token holders beyond ETH access products like lending and borrowing. As an application built on multi-asset DeFi platform Kava, HARD is set to capitalize on the Kava-4 Mainnet upgrade which will introduce support for BTC, BUSD, XRP, and other digital assets. New digital assets will be also supported within the HARD Protocol money market alongside Kava native assets like KAVA, HARD, and USDX.

The HARD Protocol money market is the first project of its kind launched on the Kava blockchain. Kava gives the platform access to cross-chain assets, Chainlink oracles, and other key infrastructure. To support platform security and stability within this relatively new design paradigm, compared to Ethereum, HARD code is being audited by CERTIK, peer-reviewed, and tested prior to listing.

"The primary co-listing of HARD on BitMax.io will be beneficial for both BitMax.io users and users of the Kava DeFi ecosystem," said Shane Molidor, Global Head of Business Development at BitMax.io, “HARD offers investors a cross-blockchain money market to lend and borrow assets in a new way. This listing collaboration gives BitMax.io users exposure to HARD Protocol through the HARD token, and at the same time, allows HARD users to further invest in the platform’s governance."

PlotX is a non-custodial prediction market protocol that allows users to create, settle markets, and distribute rewards on the Ethereum Blockchain without any counter-party risk. The platform is the world’s first automated market-making (AMM) driven prediction market, earning it the nickname ‘the Uniswap of prediction markets.’

Prediction markets can be valuable sources of crowd sentiment data given sufficient user participation. PlotX aims to solve the challenges other prediction markets traditionally face in gaining adoption, specifically cumbersome user experiences and illiquid markets. By leveraging automated market making, PlotX can accommodate shorter market cycles, ranging from one week to as little as one hour. Shorter market cycles and an intuitive, “five clicks to predict” user interface gives users more opportunities to participate and encourage higher liquidity on the platform.

The platform’s utility token, PLOT, serves as the medium of exchange between participants in PlotX prediction markets. The token acts as the mechanism for community governance of the protocol and enable holders to participate in multiple reward-generating activities including AMM mining, referral mining, and liquidity mining.

Core components of PlotX, like governance and staking, are built directly on Ethereum, with smart contracts driving instant, on-chain settlement, and rewards distribution. Market creation, participation, and settlement are shifting to an L2 solution for greater speed to accommodate the platform’s hallmark shorter market cycles and reduce gas costs for users.

The launch of PLOT trading on the BitMax platform is the first step in a long-term strategic partnership between PlotX and BitMax. The exchange will support PLOT staking, with a high-yield pre-staking program scheduled for Q4’2020. This listing will open up the PlotX protocol to BitMax.io users while giving PLOT holders additional means to utilize their tokens.
