The Occam.fi team and the Occam Association are pleased to announce the upcoming release of OccamRazer, the first component of the Occam decentralized finance layer built specifically for the Cardano blockchain.
Occam.fi was designed to be the first all-in-one DeFi ecosystem built in Cardano. Designed and developed by a leading team of blockchain experts and veterans, Occam.fi and its core components have been created to address several critical adoption needs of the Cardano blockchain ecosystem.
Occam.fi's journey in Cardano's DeFi landscape begins with OccamRazer, a decentralized launch pad designed to accelerate Cardano-based projects and startups. OccamRazer facilitates this through access to venture capital above and beyond what is currently available through other financing routes, catalyzing Cardano's inactive liquidity pools.
Cardano is currently one of the largest ecosystems in blockchain in the world, with vast amounts of untapped on-chain liquidity. Until mid-2020, Cardano (ADA) token holders were unable to use their stake in the protocol for yield-generating purposes, providing limited use for ADA as a store of value and limited utility. Staking is now available, with just over 16 billion ADA currently in circulation, while around 22,7 billion ADA is staked and locked in the protocol. There is, therefore, a huge opportunity to empower ADA holders to use their funds to grow the Cardano blockchain ecosystem while generating significant on-chain yields.
To address this, OccamRazer liquidity pools will allow ADA holders to generate significant returns on their capital, while creating a self-sustaining and powerful launch platform for serious Cardano-based projects.
OccamRazer will arrive complete with a full suite of compliance and RegTech tools, designed to offer startups that raise capital through Occam.fi a perfect way to build a professional offering. For liquidity providers and ADA holders, OccamRazer combines a feature-rich user experience with traditionally loved DeFi elements to accommodate a wide variety of fundraising profiles, acting as a key to unlocking the liquidity of the Cardano ecosystem.
Mark Berger, a member of the Occam Association, says:
“Among the first expected users of OccamRazer are the successful early-stage projects of the Cardano community's decentralized financing initiative, the Catalyst Project. These projects, validated by the community, are uniquely positioned to grow in a Cardano ecosystem ready and waiting. Through OccamRazer, we provide the tools and access to venture capital needed to accelerate your applications to new heights. "
To support the Occam.fi ecosystem, the OCC token will also be released. OCC tokens allow access to premium liquidity pools, while fueling the continued diversification of the ecosystem, a feature in which OCC token stakers are continuously launched into the air in small amounts of tokens from the best projects closing their financing rounds on OccamRazer. This feature alone, unique to Occam.fi, will open a cascade of reward generation opportunities for token holders and ecosystem participants, ensuring that Occam.fi becomes a prosperous, self-sustaining and prosperous ecosystem.
The Occam.fi ecosystem is managed and maintained by the Occam Association, a Swiss-based entity operating in the Canton of Zug, compatible with cryptography. When the Occam.fi ecosystem grows big enough, Occam.fi will be governed and directed by a carefully designed decentralized autonomous organization. Occam.fi is the first decentralized launch platform designed for the Cardano ecosystem, built with the experience and care of a veteran team of blockchain entrepreneurs and professionals.
