Fathom Protocol is an early-stage startup pioneering in decentralized finance (DeFi) on the XDC network. It aims to enhance liquidity through the over-collateralized stablecoin, FXD, to bridge DeFi with real-world assets. Fathom roadmap encompasses a broad spectrum, including Lending, DEX, DAO, and other products on the XDC network.

XDC, as an organization, is on a mission to improve the overall deficit in the global infrastructure with the help of Blockchain technology. XDC has revolutionized the concept of peer-to-peer transactions by using community-driven digital assets in an open-source blockchain platform. The core idea behind our initiative is to make the transactions more secure and transparent among the parties involved in cross-border trade. XinFin, as an organization, believes in establishing an environment that will help businesses thrive without worrying about the hassles of international fund transfers.

1inch Network unites decentralized protocols whose synergy enables the most lucrative, fastest and protected operations in the DeFi space. The initial protocol of the 1inch Network is a DEX aggregator solution that searches deals across multiple liquidity sources, offering users better rates than any individual exchange. This protocol incorporates the Pathfinder algorithm which finds the best paths among different markets over 180 liquidity sources on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Optimistic Ethereum, Arbitrum and Gnosis Chain. In just over two years the 1inch DEX aggregator has reached 2M users and surpassed $150B in overall trading volume. The 1inch Aggregation Protocol facilitates cost-efficient and secure swap transactions across multiple liquidity sources.

Chainlink is the industry-standard Web3 services platform. It has enabled trillions of dollars in transaction volume across DeFi, onchain finance, gaming, NFTs, and other major industries. As the leading decentralized oracle network, Chainlink empowers developers to build feature-rich Web3 applications with seamless access to real-world data, offchain computation, and cross-chain interoperability across any blockchain, providing global enterprises with a universal gateway to all blockchains.
Chainlink Automation enables conditional execution of your smart contracts functions. Define the business rules, the trigger and what will happen.
Chainlink VRF is the verifiable, tamper-proof random number generator for blockchain gaming and NFT projects. Any smart contract can get random values without compromising security or usability.
Chainlink Proof of Reserve Feeds provides the status of the reserves for several assets in the same way as Price Feeds.
Chainlink NFT Floor Pricing Feeds provides a conservative and risk averse floor price estimate for an NFT collection.
Chainlink Data Feeds are the quickest way to connect your smart contracts to the real-world data such as asset prices, reserve balances, and L2 sequencer health.
Chainlink Functions can help you to build a dApp that pulls (or pushes) data connecting to an external API, this could be a public or private API, a SaaS app, any IoT device, or an enterprise system. In addition to off-chain data, it could utilize off-chain computations on the data as well (for example, aggregate data and put on-chain or connect to decentralized storage systems such as IPFS).
Chainlink Data Streams provides low-latency delivery of market data off-chain that you can verify onchain. With Chainlink Data Streams, decentralized applications (dApps) now have on-demand access to high-frequency market data backed by decentralized and transparent infrastructure.

ZetaChain is a layer 1 blockchain and developer platform that connects any L1 and L2, from Ethereum to Bitcoin and beyond. With ZetaChain you can build interoperable omnichain contracts or use cross-chain messaging between EVM chains.
Omnichain Smart Contracts are contracts deployed on ZetaChain that can use and orchestrate assets on connected chains, as well as on ZetaChain. With omnichain smart contracts you are able to have a single place of logic that can maintain the state of assets and data across all connected chains. You can implement cross-chain swaps, staking, lending protocols for Bitcoin or any cross-chain dapps.
Cross-chain messaging (CCM) lets you send messages from any connected chain to any connected chain, including ZetaChain. Cross-chain messaging makes the most sense for applications that generally need minimal logic or state to maintain across all chains, and where data that needs only to be passed between different chains one way.
