Levana: A DeFi Game-Changer I Consumer Spotlight

In the ever-evolving DeFi landscape, Levana stands out as a pioneer in perpetual swaps. Launched in September 2023, Levana offers a reliable trading platform for users and liquidity providers. Levana strives to ensure fair deals, reduce risks, and create innovative financial tools through tokenized positions.

Currently available on three blockchains (Osmosis, Sei, Injective), Levana has grown significantly in total traded volume ($200M) and user base (3000+).

Let's delve into the details of this compelling case study.

Levana Perps: Secure and Reliable

Levana was designed to tackle two critical challenges prevalent in other perpetual platforms.

Firstly, the protocol addresses liquidity risks by implementing the concept of locked liquidity, ensuring fully collateralized positions and conducting on-chain liquidations.

Secondly, it eliminates market manipulation risks by utilizing the spot market price for entry and profit calculations, avoiding complexities associated with internal mark prices.

Innovative Features Driving Stable Trading

1. Liquifunding: Ensures adequate liquidation margins for all open positions, safeguarding traders and liquidity providers during market fluctuations.
2. Price Updates and Cranking: Regularly updates prices through a permissioned entry point, followed by a 'crank' process that triggers necessary actions based on price fluctuations.
3. Safeguards against Staleness and Congestion: Prevents delayed price updates and congestion, reducing the exploitation of price discrepancies.
4. Delta Neutrality and Liquidity Pool: Funding payments and a delta neutrality fund maintain a balanced protocol for liquidity providers. The liquidity pool allows users to deposit collateral, receive LP tokens, and participate in fee-sharing mechanisms and liquidity incentives.

Managing Volatility for Sustainable Growth

Levana Perps emphasizes potential risks, especially during extreme market movements. While the platform implements various risk-mitigating mechanisms, it highlights the need for prudent risk management.

Levana Perps effectively addresses critical issues in traditional perpetual platforms, fostering a secure and stable trading environment for traders and liquidity providers alike.
