NFTures
"Decentralized Derivatives Protocol."
Type of Product: NFT Perps Trading
Purpose of Tool: NFTures is an app developed by SynFutures that allows users to trade NFT perps with real-time price feeds based on fractionalized NFT prices. It simplifies derivatives trading for both mainstream NFT collectors and crypto veterans by offering a design similar to popular social and dating apps.
Real-time price feeds based on fractionalized NFT prices: This feature ensures that the pricing remains diversified, and liquidity remains continuous, enabling users to access the latest prices to make informed trading decisions.
3x leverage: This feature allows traders to magnify their gains from market movements. It is a powerful tool that can increase potential profits, but also increases the risk of losses.
One-click trading: The app's user interface is easily navigable and fun, resembling popular social and dating apps. The one-click trading feature makes it easy to execute trades with just one click.
Solid risk management using the sAMM model: SynFutures has implemented the sAMM (stable AMM) model for solid risk management. This model protects liquidity providers (LPs) from suffering significant losses even in volatile market conditions.
Team / Funding / Backers / Other Info: NFTures has entered its alpha phase and has become available today for a segment of SynFutures' waitlist, which has attracted around 14,000 registrations so far. SynFutures aims to introduce additional NFT treasuries to the platform in the future, with prominent collections such as Bored Apes and Pudgy Penguins being considered as potential candidates for inclusion in the top-10.

Rocket Pool
“Decentralised Ethereum Staking Protocol"
Type of Product: Staking Protocol
Purpose of Tool: Rocket Pool is a decentralised and community-owned ETH Proof of Stake protocol that allows users to participate in tokenised staking using rETH and also stake ETH and run a node in the network for higher ROI. The protocol comprises three primary elements, namely smart contracts, the Smart Node Network, and Minipool Validators.
Tokenised Staking: Users can participate in tokenised staking using rETH, with as little as 0.01 ETH, and earn staking rewards.
Node Staking: Users can stake their ETH and run a node in the network to earn higher rewards than staking outside of the protocol due to commissions earned.
Smart Contracts: The smart contracts accept ETH deposits and assign them to node operators with staking commission rates based on demand. They also issue and track various tokens.
Smart Node Network: A decentralised network of Ethereum nodes that run the Smart Node software, communicate with the protocol's smart contracts, and provide network consensus required by the Beacon Chain.
RPL Tokens: Users receive RPL tokens for providing the protocol with a Smart Node and insuring or bonding their node against bad behavior or poor performance.
Minipool Validators: These smart contracts are created by node operators and receive deposits from rETH stakers. When a contract contains a total of 32 ETH, a new validator is created on the node, which performs the consensus duties for that deposit to earn staking rewards.
Team / Funding / Backers Info / Transaction Amount: Rocket Pool recently made an announcement regarding their next major upgrade called Atlas. This marks their second major upgrade since launching to mainnet. The primary focus of the Atlas upgrade is to scale the protocol in order to meet higher demand both now and in the future, while still maintaining a commitment to decentralization and the overall health of the Ethereum network.
This is the largest upgrade for Rocket Pool yet, and they are excited about the possibilities it brings.

Unlock
"Membership in minutes”
Type of Product: Community Tool
Purpose of Tool: Unlock is a decentralized protocol that allows creators and businesses to create and manage memberships using time-bound non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The platform aims to give creators control over their membership programs, restore their power, and help them generate new revenue streams using NFTs.
Membership contract creation and management: Creators can define their own membership terms and parameters without code. They can add original artwork to their membership NFTs and create different tiers of membership.
Airdrop or sell membership NFT in minutes: Creators can easily distribute their membership NFTs to their community members either through airdrops or by selling them on the open market.
Token-gating, memberships, ticketing, and more: Unlock allows creators to use NFTs to gate access to content, events, and other experiences.
Exclusive experiences for members: Members can purchase NFT keys that provide them with access to unique content and experiences that are not available to non-members.
Members-only content: Creators can craft their content on their platforms of choice and set up members-only content that can only be accessed by members who hold the NFT keys.
Team / Funding / Backers / Other Info: On September 28th, 2021, Unlock raised $4 million in venture funding from a group of investors. Leading the round were VC firms such as Betaworks, Cygni Labs, GMG Ventures (the parent company of The Guardian), and Metacartel Ventures China, with participation from early investors.
