  Moma Protocol provides a proprietary smart contract factory that creates, manages, accelerates, and aggregates lending markets to expand liquidity and market diversity in DeFi. The protocol aims to produce an unlimited number of customizable lending pools by combining strengths of automated market makers and lending protocols, thereby bringing more assets into lending markets. Moma was incubated and supported by Lichang, a community app with over one million registered users. The team positions the product as a way to solve scalability, liquidity, and speculation needs in the current DeFi lending market and to open new lending markets for long‑tail assets. Financially, Moma recently closed a $2.25 million round of funding to scale its model. The company says its long‑term goal over the next 5–10 years is to create an expandable, scalable, and flexible DeFi lending infrastructure that anyone can freely participate in.

• NiiFi

  Participated · Seed · May 2021

  NiiFi is developing a low-latency decentralized exchange that runs on Nahmii, an Ethereum layer-2 network designed to boost transaction throughput. By leveraging Nahmii’s architecture, the platform provides instant, non-probabilistic settlement finality, a capability positioned to attract institutional traders. The exchange also embeds know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money-laundering (AML) functionality to meet compliance demands often absent in DeFi. According to Nahmii developer Jacobo Toll-Messia, the underlying technology is proprietary and currently patent-pending. NiiFi’s product roadmap centers on turning these technical advantages into a commercially viable DEX. The team, backed by seasoned crypto investors, plans additional fundraising rounds to expand both the exchange and the broader Nahmii layer-2 ecosystem.
