SigmaLabs is an upcoming suite of DeFi dApps and smart contracts that aim to transform the DeFi landscape by converting DEX exchange fees from a liability into an asset. This transformation is achieved by providing an engaging platform where users can participate in various gamified financial products. Stake your tokens in unique game theory models that yield exciting derivative opportunities.

SigmaLabs will support Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and Avalanche across all its products at launch. The suite will expand to accommodate more ERC-20 based chains and layer 2 support over time. At launch, SigmaLabs will provide access to:

  • SigmaLabs Academy, a hub for knowledge and learning where we explore complex DeFi, Finance, and Technology topics.
  • Sigmadex, a DEX aggregator that rewards you for trading
  • SigmaFi, a game theory model offering unique gamified derivative finance products, will also be available. All of these services are powered by our unique SDEX token.

What is DeFi?

Decentralised Finance, or DeFi, is an open, permissionless alternative to traditional financial services. It provides everything from savings and loans to trading, all via blockchain technology. The remarkable growth of DeFi, from a $500 million Total Value Locked (TVL) in 2019 to $44.5 billion today, is driven by its inherent transparency, security, and income opportunities.

However, to sustain this momentum, DeFi platforms must offer more than just transactions. They need to engage and educate users. SigmaLabs and its associated products are designed to stand out in this regard. They use gamification and educational tools to ensure a rewarding DeFi experience, ultimately fostering a loyal community.

SigmaLabs: Pioneering the DeFi Revolution

We’ve been tirelessly crafting a next-generation Decentralised Finance (DeFi) platform that helps DEX users capture value lost to trading fees. We harmoniously meld the finest elements of blockchain technology with a user-friendly approach to design and functionality.

Whether you’re well-versed in Web3 intricacies or a Web2 enthusiast stepping into the DeFi space, we believe that DeFi should be a welcoming, easy-to-understand, and exciting realm for everyone.

SigmaLabs stands apart in the vast DeFi landscape. We’re more than just a standard DeFi platform. We’re meticulously shaping a digital asset trading protocol that transcends the boundaries of individual blockchains, tapping into the potent capabilities of several blockchain networks. Our ambition is to make DeFi more rewarding and accessible for all users, irrespective of their crypto trading expertise.

SDEX Token: The Heart of The SigmaLabs Ecosystem

The SDEX token plays a pivotal role within the SigmaLabs ecosystem, offering multiple utilities and contributing to the platform’s functionality.

  • Governance — SDEX tokens serve a crucial role in protocol governance. Holders of SDEX have the ability to propose, vote on, and implement changes within the SigmaLabs platform, actively influencing its direction and development.
  • Staking — Beyond governance, SDEX can be staked in various pools within the platform, providing opportunities for holders to earn yields. This feature enhances the token’s utility and provides incentives for user participation.
  • Rewards — SigmaLabs uses SDEX tokens as rewards for user activities on the platform. By aligning incentives with user engagement, the platform encourages active and continuous participation.
  • NFT Minting — Staking SDEX enables users to mint APY NFTs. These NFTs can then be utilised within Liberty Pools to potentially earn additional yield, adding a new dimension to the utility of SDEX.
  • Collateral — SDEX tokens can be used as collateral to create rewards within the platform, driving the dynamics of the SigmaLabs ecosystem and enhancing the value proposition for token holders.

The SDEX token, with its diverse utility, forms the backbone of the SigmaLabs platform, enabling a range of activities and functionalities that contribute to the platform’s overarching goals.

Sigmadex: Best Prices with Rewards

Sigmadex redefines the DeFi experience by intelligently aggregating prices from multiple DEXs and rewarding users for their interactions.

  • Best Spot Prices: Sigmadex seeks the most favourable prices across various DEXs, ensuring users always get the best deal.
  • Fee Reimbursement: Experience a new level of cost efficiency with Sigmadex’s unique NFTs, designed to compensate for transaction costs, mitigating your risks. Your transactions become more affordable and more profitable and you can forget about excessive fees.
  • Cross-Chain Bridge: Seamlessly interact with assets across multiple chains. This means you will not need to use multiple wallets, bridges across different changes to manage your liquidity.
  • Dynamic Automated Market Maker (DAMM): Our protocol mitigates impermanent loss and balances liquidity pools using implied volatility and proactive transaction fee adjustments.
  • NFT Integration: This allows us to reduce transaction fees, limit slippage, and enable earning from global protocol usage.

By combining a DEX aggregator, cross-chain bridge, and innovative reward mechanisms, Sigmadex provides a unique DeFi experience, ensuring users not only transact with the best prices but also earn rewards along the way.

SigmaFi — Gamifying DeFi

SigmaFi treads new waters in DeFi by intertwining gamification and in-depth education into the financial processes, making each stake not just a thrilling challenge, but also a learning opportunity.

  • Commitment Period: It’s not just staking; it’s a game of strategic timing, which rewards our most engaged and loyal community members
  • Penalty for Premature Withdrawal: Patience is rewarded, and impulsivity is taxed. This means increased liquidity in the protocol, for longer.
  • Risk-Adjusted Penalty Curves: Choose your path wisely, and understand the risk/reward.
  • Rewards: Stay the course, learn the mechanics, and reap the rewards.

SigmaFi doesn’t stop here. You still retain the expected yield farming rewards. SigmaFi adds to your balance and supercharges your staking returns by giving back additional rewards in the form of SDEX tokens. It’s more than just staking — it’s staking with benefits.

By melding the intricate world of DeFi with the engaging elements of gaming, SigmaFi doesn’t just make DeFi accessible — it turns investing into an enriching journey of knowledge, rewarding those who spend time and attention into the protocol and encouraging new users to “stick”.
