Multi-chain DeFi protocol for programmable liquidity services MoreLess
Izumi Finance is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that provides "Liquidity as a Service" (LaaS) across multiple blockchain networks, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Founded in 2020 by Jimmy Yin and Xinshu Dong, the project aims to solve common issues in DeFi such as inefficient liquidity and the "Pool 2 dilemma," where high-yield farming leads to unsustainable token inflation. The company has secured a total of $57.6 million through several funding rounds, with backing from investors like Mirana Ventures, IOSG Ventures, and Fenbushi Capital.
The business model centers on offering advanced tools for projects and liquidity providers to manage on-chain liquidity with high capital efficiency. Izumi Finance generates revenue from fees for cross-chain transactions, setting up incentive pools, and use of its v3Toolbox. A significant portion, 50% of platform revenue, is used to buy back its native IZI token and reward holders of veiZi, the governance token.
Izumi's core products include iZiSwap, LiquidBox, and iZUMi Bond. iZiSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on an innovative Discretized-Liquidity Automated Market Maker (DL-AMM) model. This model departs from the traditional xy=k formula by concentrating liquidity at discrete price points, which mimics the functionality of a centralized exchange's order book and enables non-custodial limit orders with minimal slippage. LiquidBox is a programmable liquidity mining tool that works with Uniswap V3. It allows projects to target liquidity mining rewards to specific price ranges, increasing incentive efficiency and reducing the risk of impermanent loss for providers. The platform also offers fixed-income products through iZUMi Bond and the iUSD stablecoin, providing investors with predictable yields.
