DeFi has attracted countless users with the ideal of inclusive finance, promising to eliminate the unfairness and opacity in the traditional financial system through technical means. However, as the industry develops, DeFi products have become more and more professional, and the strategy design has become more and more complex, which seems to be more suitable for professional investors and institutions, resulting in many potential users being blocked by high barriers.

This trend of complexity not only discourages ordinary users, but also deviates from the original intention of inclusive finance. Simplifying the complex operations and strategy choices in DeFi applications so that more ordinary users can participate and benefit has become a key issue in the development of the industry.

Quantlytica, an AI liquidity allocation strategy platform, is committed to simplifying the process and experience of DeFi participation, simplifying the DeFi investment process, optimizing the investment experience, and meeting the investment needs of ordinary users through AI technology. The platform integrates multiple DeFi protocols and uses AI technology to compare the returns, liquidity risks, and security data of all DeFi projects horizontally, and then provides a variety of automated liquidity investment strategies based on the needs of different users.

In an interview with ChainCatcher, Quantlytica Chief Product Officer (CPO) Wesley explained that Quantlytica is not a simple crypto asset management tool, but a liquidity portal (entry and exit) in the crypto field. While helping users to put their asset liquidity into the crypto market, it also attracts liquidity for the project. It is more like a systematic liquidity solution that can meet the diverse investment needs of today's DeFi participants.

On August 8, Quantlytica announced that it had received 1 million euros in financing, with participating investors including Polygon Labs Ecosystem Fund, Web3Port Foundation, DWF Ventures and other top crypto institutions.

On September 13, Quantlytica’s native token officially started TGE and was listed on multiple exchanges including Bitget, MEXC, BingX, etc. as soon as possible.

Using AI to optimize DeFi investment experience

"The idea of ​​creating Quantlytica originated in March last year. The main purpose was to create a crypto-bank-grade product that could rival the traditional financial experience. After more than a year of development and polishing, the first version of the test product, Quantlytica Tesnet, was released in May this year, attracting thousands of users to experience it." Wesley mentioned in an interview.

Quantlytica is a multi-chain liquidity distribution protocol driven by artificial intelligence (AI). It is positioned as a "liquidity portal" in the DeFi field. By integrating DeFi protocols or yield strategies on multiple chains into a unified platform, it uses AI technology to drive and coordinate liquidity allocation between multiple DeFi applications and multiple chains, and finds and builds the best investment strategy combination for users.

On the Quantlytica platform, users can automatically participate in investment opportunities on multiple chains with a simple one-click operation, which greatly simplifies the complex process of DeFi investment and makes the investment process smarter and more convenient.

Today, as the market matures and competition intensifies, many DeFi projects have begun to introduce complex mechanisms and designs to enhance the competitiveness and attractiveness of their products. This trend of complexity has made DeFi products increasingly difficult to understand and use.

For example, the centralized liquidity and multi-level fee structure introduced by Uniswap V3 have improved the efficiency of liquidity, but have also increased the learning and operating costs of liquidity providers; advanced features such as credit delegation introduced by Aave V2 can improve the utilization rate of funds, but are more suitable for professional investors and developers, and are difficult for ordinary users to understand and use.

Due to the complexity and high risk of DeFi products, more and more ordinary users are choosing to withdraw, and high-end players such as professional investors and institutions are taking the lead. Data shows that most of the funds on top DeFi protocols such as Uniswap, Aave, and MakerDAO come from large or institutional cooperation. This trend not only makes it difficult for ordinary users to participate, but also greatly reduces the inclusiveness of the DeFi market.

Quantlytica is committed to eliminating industry barriers in DeFi by providing a series of features designed to optimize the DeFi experience so that it is no longer the exclusive domain of high-end players. Users can easily participate in DeFi products without any professional knowledge or crypto background, making DeFi truly inclusive finance that everyone can participate in.

All this is due to the rich experience of the Quantlytica founding team in the traditional financial field. Co-founders Wesley and Guy both have decades of experience in the traditional financial field and have held important positions at DBS Bank in Singapore. Guy is a quantitative trader and has managed more than $100 million in funds at Acadian, a world-renowned venture capital company. Another founder, David, is an AI expert at Stanford University.

“With its deep financial experience and technical background, the Quantlytica team has a clear understanding of the products and processes that financial users want to participate in,” Wesley concluded.

Wesley gave an example, take banks for example, whenever people mention banks, they think they are very complicated and profound, but in reality people use banks through various apps such as Alipay, WeChat Pay, UnionPay and other products, which is very simple and users can use them without any financial knowledge or background.

"Simplifying complex financial products" is the advantage of the Quantlytica team.

First of all, in terms of product design, Quantlytica will provide some small tools or page entrances to help users better participate in the DeFi market, such as integrating various DeFi protocols on the market into a unified page, so that users can participate in multiple investment opportunities with one click.

In addition, the Quantlytica team will integrate the experience and knowledge of traditional finance with Web3, and use AI technology to help users better enter the market and use products. For example, AI technology can be used to analyze data such as the returns of DeFi protocols, supporting users to customize the best investment portfolios and strategies according to their own needs to maximize returns.

Liquidity strategy aggregation platform: supporting user-customized DeFi investment strategies

At present, Quantlytica's product form mainly consists of four sections, including: liquidity automation, AI asset management assistant QuantGPT, modular Fund SDK, and risk management engine.

First of all, liquidity automation is Quantlytica's flagship feature, which mainly uses AI technology to automatically optimize liquidity allocation across multiple networks and DeFi applications, ensuring that users are provided with more efficient capital deployment strategies to maximize returns. That is, Quantlytica provides users with a complete set of liquidity management tools and automatic investment strategies, so that users can easily manage cross-chain liquidity and automatically nest their investment portfolios to maximize their returns.

Specifically, Quantlytica will use AI technology to collect data and conduct horizontal comparisons on the returns, liquidity risks, and security of all DeFi projects. For example, by collecting operational data and updates on social media such as Twitter and GitHub, it will screen out projects with relatively high security, and then provide customized automated investment strategies for various user needs to suit users with different risk preferences.

For example, the smart fixed investment DCA and AI grid trading strategies that will be launched in October can use AI technology to analyze market data in real time, optimize regular fixed-amount investments or automatically execute grid trading strategies, helping investors capture excess returns in volatile markets.

The Vault investment product launched by Quantlytica in August is one of the passive strategy investment products screened using AI. Users can deposit corresponding assets in each vault and participate in multiple DeFi returns with one click.

For example, the Ordely PreBTC vault provides liquidity for the liquidity platform Elixir. Users only need to deposit USDC to obtain Quantlytica points, as well as Elixir points + Ordely rewards + token rewards from the points platform Coral Finance, which is equivalent to killing four birds with one stone.

Secondly, Quantlytica products will be embedded with the AI ​​smart investment assistant QuantGPT, an AI chatbot that provides users with tailored investment advice, assists with project screening, market analysis, strategy selection, and dynamic liquidity adjustments, thereby simplifying the DeFi experience.

Wesley revealed to ChainCatcher that QuantGPT will be launched around October or November. It is also cooperating with decentralized computing power networks such as io.net and plans to launch its own computing power model platform in Q1 next year.

Then, Quantlytica will also launch a Fund SDK for strategy creation, providing developers, fund managers and other market participants with the opportunity to build and expand customized investment strategies. This modular, code-free toolbox allows users to assemble or build their own DeFi investment strategies like Lego blocks. Without any coding skills, you can create, test and deploy your own customized DeFi investment strategies, ranging from quantitative trading, index investment to TVL incentives, customized DeFi portfolios and other products, allowing users to transform from participants and strategy users to true strategy creators or developers.

Finally, there is AI-driven risk management. Quantlytica will use AI technology to provide risk management through real-time monitoring, analysis and on-chain data. It can promptly identify smart contract vulnerabilities, fraud and systemic market risks, thereby ensuring the security of users' assets. At the same time, it also allows users to accurately understand the distribution of their asset liquidity. In addition, users can also integrate their own data sources and train customized models to formulate strategies based on specific market conditions and their own risk preferences.

Through a series of innovative features and products, Quantlytica simplifies or integrates the complex DeFi product participation process into specific smart investment strategies, allowing users to participate in interactive activities of multiple DeFi applications with one click, greatly reducing users' research time, and allowing even users without any DeFi experience and knowledge to easily capture on-chain returns.

Wesley emphasized that Quantlytica is not a simple asset management tool, but rather a liquidity strategy aggregation platform that can provide users with customized liquidity investment solutions to meet the diverse needs of today's DeFi participants.

Unlike common asset management tools such as InstaDapp and DeBank, Quantlytica focuses more on solving the high threshold, complex processes, and product selection issues for users to participate in DeFi. It is more like a DeFi investment strategy library. The platform brings together multiple investment strategies for selection. Users can choose or customize their investment strategies based on their risk preferences or return goals. Asset management tools such as InstaDapp and DeBank are more like asset trackers and do not provide products such as investment strategies.

He explained by giving an example, taking cross-chain as an example, some users demand low fees, while others hope for fast arrival time, etc., so Quantlytica will recommend different cross-chain bridge products based on the user's personalized needs.

50% of the income is distributed to veQTLX holders, and the QTLX staking plan will be launched at TGE

On September 13, Quantlytica's native token QTLX officially started TGE and was immediately listed on multiple exchanges including Bitget, MEXC, BingX, etc., attracting widespread attention and investment from the crypto community.

According to official data, the total issuance of QTLX tokens is 100 million, with an initial circulation of 78.5 million. 50% of the total supply, about 50 million, will be used for community incentives (including 5% airdrops), 20% will be allocated to the team and consultants, 13% will flow to the ecological fund, 5% users support QTLX token liquidity and market making, 9.5% strategic investors and early supporters, and the remaining 2.5% will be used for the IDO round.

On September 9, QTLX tokens raised 300,000 USDT on the IDO platform Enjinstarter at a price of 0.2 USDT per token.

It should be noted that the 5% community airdrop will not be unlocked during TGE.

QTLX is the core driving force to ensure the normal operation of the Quantlytica ecosystem. Its application scenarios cover multiple aspects such as revenue sharing and community governance. Its Token economic model aims to coordinate the interests of all stakeholders to encourage users to participate in the construction and development of the ecosystem, and to attract users to participate in the governance and development of Quantlytica in the long term by providing a variety of practical functions.

It is revealed that on the day of TGE launch, Quantlytica will launch the QTLX staking function, supporting users to stake QTLX to obtain veQTLX, and start lock-up incentive activities. The staking yield rate can be as high as 40~80%. Users can also choose to settle the final staking income in the form of USDT.

The relationship between veQTLX and QTLX is similar to that between veCRV and CRV. Users can obtain veQTLX by staking QTLX at a 1:1 ratio. Holding veQTLX can unlock multiple rights and interests.

First of all, in terms of revenue sharing, the Quantlytica platform will distribute up to 50% of its revenue to veQTLX token holders.

Secondly, veQTLX holders can participate in protocol governance, such as voting on important decisions regarding the development and future direction of the platform. This includes proposals for new features, protocol changes, and how the ecosystem evolves.

In addition, veQTLX token holders can enjoy priority access to the VIP features of the Quantlytica platform, such as priority access to exclusive high-yield reward pools, early unlocking of the platform's advanced features, tools and analysis such as SDK function integration, advanced quantitative strategies, data analysis services and yield enhancement services.

Finally, you can also participate in the Quantlytica platform's unique insurance pool plan, that is, users can purchase insurance to guarantee a certain asset pool yield and avoid loss of income due to market fluctuations. For example, a DeFi fund pool has a yield of 20%, but due to certain factors, the final yield may be lower than 20%. At this time, veQTLX holders can purchase insurance to keep the yield at 20%.

More importantly, unlike the unlimited inflation of the number of tokens in common DeFi protocols, QTLX also introduces a buyback and destruction mechanism. Quantlytica promises to use 20% of its monthly revenue for the buyback and destruction strategy, which will systematically reduce the supply of QTLX tokens and make it deflationary, thereby potentially increasing its rarity and token value.

Bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3, making it possible for fiat currency to directly participate in DeFi investment

After the token TGE, Quantlytica will not only launch the QTLX token lock-up function and activities, but will also deploy expansions on multiple chains, such as EVM chains such as Base, Polygon, and non-EVM chains such as Solana and Ton.

Quantlytica uses AI technology and a series of innovative tool products to optimize liquidity allocation across multiple blockchain networks, providing users with a complete set of liquidity management solutions. It has successfully simplified the participation process of DeFi investment and lowered the threshold. It can be said to be an innovator in the DeFi investment field. Its diversified product functions can adapt to users with different experiences and risk preferences.

For new players who have no on-chain trading experience or professional knowledge, the Quantlytica platform will provide a variety of strategy models for users to passively participate, such as high-frequency trading strategies, mining strategies, fixed investment strategies, index investments, fixed income strategies, etc. It will also cooperate with some quantitative fund strategy companies to develop more products for selection; for advanced professional players with ideas and experience, they can use the Fund SDK toolkit provided by the platform to build their own exclusive investment strategies. In addition, the platform also provides a backtesting framework. Users can use the AI ​​database to visualize the historical performance of the strategies they have built, and simulate and predict future performance to optimize strategies.

According to official sources, within just three months of its launch, Quantlytica's platform community members exceeded 250,000, and achieved major milestones of over 1,000 daily active users and $10 million in assets under management. Among them, the Valut treasury strategy investment product exceeded $1 million in TVL less than a week after its launch, and is now $2.2 million.

At the same time, Quantlytica has obtained cooperation and investment from many leading companies in the industry. On August 8, it announced the completion of a 1 million euro (1.1 million US dollars) financing. Participating investors include Polygon Labs Ecological Fund, Web3Port Foundation, Eureka Partners, DWF Ventures, Connectico Capital, ZBS Capital and other well-known crypto capitals at home and abroad.

Regarding the support provided by investment institutions, Wesley said in an interview that they not only provide capital, but also provide product feedback and strategic introductions. For example, Web3Port once assisted a well-known institution in joining the DeFi market through the Quantlytica liquidity automation strategy. In addition, its traders were asked to test the fund SDK and provide feedback.

Wesley revealed to ChainCatcher that Quantlytica actually had support from individual investors in its early days, and the total amount of financing it received was more than US$1.5 million.

Quantlytica is not just a Web3 project, but will break down the barriers between Web2 and Web3. Both traditional financial institutions and individuals can participate in Web3. The ultimate vision is to enable users to use legal currency to invest in DeFi protocols directly on the Quantlytica platform, truly eliminating the barriers for users to enter the crypto world. While providing ordinary users with new ways to participate in the DeFi market, it is expected to bring more vitality and vitality to the DeFi market.
