what's VII Finance?
VII Finance is a DeFi protocol designed to enhance liquidity provision on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap V4. It introduces a novel hook mechanism that allows liquidity providers to earn additional lending interest on their provided assets, in addition to traditional swap fees. This is achieved by integrating with lending protocols, where the liquidity is lent out during idle periods, optimizing yields for providers without compromising on security or decentralization. The protocol operates by deploying smart contracts that automatically manage the lending of idle liquidity, ensuring seamless integration with existing AMM frameworks. As a permissionless system, it enables users to participate directly through compatible wallets and DEX interfaces, promoting efficient capital utilization in the DeFi ecosystem.
VII Finance launches a security competition on Cantina for lending and yield harvesting with a 69,500 OP prize.
