1.2. What is a peer-to-peer (P2P) energy market and how does it work on a blockchain? – Nomin-Erdene

Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading on the Blockchain: The Case of Power Ledger What is a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Energy Market?

This process is known as “farming” or “yield farming.” In simple terms, users deposit money into the protocol, and in return, they receive a token that represents their share or rewards. The idea is to incentivize liquidity and...

Inass’s work : Liquid restaking TVL rankings – Ether.fi

Liquid restaking is an innovative concept in decentralised finance (DeFi) that maximises the utility and returns of staked assets. While traditional staking involves locking up cryptocurrencies to support network operations in exchange for rewards, liquid restaking takes this a step further by issuing tokenised representations of the staked assets. These tokens can be used simultaneously in other DeFi applications (such as lending, borrowing, or trading) while the original assets continue to...
