Overview of the investment landscape of OKEx Blockdream Ventures

DeFi track

In Dora’s view, the essence of financial derivatives is a contract, and the contract value comes from the price of the underlying asset fluctuation. In layman's terms, financial derivatives have the functions of risk management and asset pricing, and are an indispensable part of the financial market. In traditional finance, the market value of derivatives can reach the trillion-dollar level, which is about 10 times that of the spot market.

On the other hand, in the field of digital assets, the trading volume of centralized derivatives is only three times that of the spot, and the decentralized derivatives are in a very In the early stage, the specific reasons can be attributed to three aspects: market habits, transaction costs and insufficient liquidity. But the advantage of decentralized derivatives is that there is no need for custody, no threshold or KYC, and no review. From a product perspective, the types of decentralized derivatives are relatively diversified, including futures, options, synthetic assets, and prediction markets. In particular, synthetic assets have the ability to connect to traditional derivatives markets, which will bring huge opportunities for development. Therefore, despite various problems in the short term, regardless of the great combination and development space given by DeFi "Lego", or the development laws of the financial market, decentralized derivatives have a long-term market imagination.

Decentralized insurance is another track with great potential. In a mature financial system, the assets of the insurance industry will account for about 30% of the assets of the entire financial industry, while decentralized insurance only covers 2% of the total lock-up value of DeFi. From a product perspective, the types of decentralized insurance are relatively single. Unlike traditional insurance, which is divided into property insurance and life insurance, its original intention was to solve the risk losses of other DeFi projects. Although it is a bit ironic that insurance projects on the market have been hacked in 2020, it also proves the importance of insurance on the other hand. In fact, the market’s demand for insurance has always been there, and with the increasing development and improvement of DeFi, the market’s demand for insurance will only further increase, and the opportunities for the budding decentralized insurance track are self-evident.

Infrastructure

Dora believes that as far as the global consensus The most effective but slowest way is mainly limited by the underlying technology, and capacity expansion is the optimal solution and the only way to go. There are more than a thousand DApps running on the Ethereum network. Behind the ecological prosperity, the problems of network congestion and high transaction fees have not been well resolved. In the blockchain industry, "scalability" can mean many things. One of the ultimate goals of blockchain technology is to replace existing traditional infrastructure with more transparent, secure and efficient blockchain technology.

The most important thing for blockchain technology to achieve large-scale commercial applications is to solve the problem of cost and efficiency, as early as 2016 The Lightning Network, which was launched in 2009, and Arbitrum, which has become so popular due to the support of Uniswap, have never stopped trying to expand solutions. This attempt has reached its highest point this year, thanks to the high popularity of DeFi and NFT. Taking DeFi as an example, the total TVL rose from 20B on January 1, 2021 to 150B in May, and Ethereum was extremely congested. But corresponding to the DeFi TVL, which has soared 7 or 8 times in 5 months, is the slow progress of Layer 2. Although ZK, Optimistic, Plasm, and Arbitrum have emerged in an endless stream, their specific implementation is obvious to all. It can be said that the blockchain at this stage is extremely important for the improvement of Layer 2 and expansion capabilities.

The major public chains have begun to pay attention to the support and construction of ecological projects, which has created the prosperity of each public chain from the explosive growth of projects. Representative ecological projects have also appeared in major public chains. From the perspective of long-term development, each public chain also needs the support of core infrastructure projects. In addition, the intercommunication between various public chain ecologies also requires the development and contribution of infrastructure projects such as cross-chain and bridging. OKEx Blockdream Ventures has given great support to public chain ecological projects with mature market, and established Polkadot, Solana, Near, Polygon, Dfinity, Filecoin ecological project funds, and can use platform resources for project development for high-quality potential projects Provide services, and also hope to accompany the development of the project to contribute to the growth of the industry's market size.
