Overview

Canto is home to Free Public Infrastructure (FPI), which is the belief that core DeFi primitives should be made available as feeless public goods.

Whereas independent DeFi protocols tend towards rent-seeking behavior and compete with one another, Canto's FPI primitives concentrate activity and liquidity, thus cultivating more favorable conditions for users and builders.

Canto's FPI

Free Public Infrastructure protocols on Canto are controlled by chain governance. At this time, Canto's FPI includes the following:

Canto DEX

A feeless Decentralized Exchange (DEX) forked from Solidly.

An open Lending Market based on Compound V2.

NOTE

An overcollateralized unit of account with an algorithmic interest rate policy.

Ambient Finance

A novel, single-contract DEX with support for concentrated and other liquidity curves, adapted for Canto.

A ve-locking incentivization protocol for Canto's downstream lending markets.
