Searching for Alpha: InfinityPools

Afif Bandak

Quick take

  • Risk management is a foundationally important component of leverage. 
  • While on-chain leverage protocols focus on execution layer innovations, the InfinityPools protocol design is centered around its risk engine. 
  • Using a lending market for concentrated spot liquidity positions, InfinityPools is able to circumvent many of the pitfalls of forced deleveraging. 
  • Disclaimer: The Block Research team has, is, and will be experimenting with the various protocols, projects, and applications mentioned in this series.
