Virtue Dao- A new kind of decentralized autonomous organization that incentivizes virtuous swarm of autonomous agents aligned with the DAO’s mission.

Bearrowing- Tokenization layer for positions in lending & borrowing platforms with interoperability of debts.

Fry the DeFi- One stop shop for newcomers to the DeFi ecosystem with a fiat on-ramp.

And winners of ETHBerlin that built on Compound included:

LSDai- Earn Compound interest with your rDAI collateral, while providing liquidity for hedges against variable Compound interest.

RateLock- Fixed interest rate term loans via Compound and powered by an on-chain interest rate swap order book system.

Cherry Swap- An autonomous, open-source platform for interest rate swaps on Compound Finance markets.

“The cDAI token allows for a multitude of interesting use-cases. One that we imagined was to allow users to hedge against and/or bet on the future interest rate of the market. - Haythem Sallami
