Binance Smart Chain (BSC) is becoming popular day by day but it was missing the on-chain leverage protocol. This missing piece is being filled by Alpaca Finance by offering leveraged yield farming. As a user, you can participate in Alpaca Finance as a lender, yield farmer, bounty hunter, and liquidator.
As a farmer, you can earn a higher yield by opening a leveraged position on Alpaca Finance. Of course, this comes with higher risks. But this is something being offered 1st time on BSC.

The current DeFi derivative platforms are more complex than centralized exchanges. There are currently no DeFi platforms where non-experienced users can execute their long and short strategies thus hindering mass adoption and retail use. To build financial products for mass adoption, Antimatter will aim for simplicity and normalization as the main priority for every product released. The initial Antimatter product will be an ETH perpetual put option product where anyone can short and long at any given time with secondary market opportunities.

Alchemix is a platform for the creation of yield-backed synthetic tokens that users can acquire for no cost in exchange for locking collateral in the Alchemix system. It gives users the ability to get an advance on their future yield immediately. These Alchemical Synthetic Tokens are a powerful DeFi primitive and a new way to make derivatives based on yield instead of debt.
