TLDR
  • Money markets have been one of DeFi’s greatest successes. However, they are far from perfect as they continue to suffer from liquidity fragmentation, capital inefficiency, and a sub-par user experience.
  • Tapioca looks to achieve a perfectly interoperable money-market solution that unifies DeFi markets/liquidity and pushes the space forward.
  • Tapioca aims to achieve a sustainable ecosystem through a properly aligned incentive and economic growth model – DAO Share Options (DSO) - that does not rely on emissions or liquidity mining.
  • Tapioca primarily differs from Aave or Maker in that each market within the omnichain lending engine – ‘Singularity” - is entirely isolated. This reduces systemic risk and opens up more opportunities for a wider range of markets.
  • Tapioca has faced some issues in its early stages since launching last month, but a strong narrative could overcome such setbacks.
