what's wasabi protocol?
Wasabi Protocol is a decentralized leverage trading platform built on the Base blockchain, enabling users to trade and stake various cryptocurrencies with up to 5x leverage while earning native yield from on-chain trading activity. The protocol focuses on providing accessible derivatives infrastructure for high-growth and long-tail assets, allowing traders to long, short, and earn yields with minimal risk through fully collateralized perpetuals and staking mechanisms. Key features include a points system for user rewards, community boosts for variable APYs, and robust stability during market volatility, as demonstrated by handling $19B in market-wide liquidations with minimal bad debt. It integrates with ecosystems like Blast and supports tokens such as $BLAST, $ME, and others for staking and trading. The platform also runs airdrop campaigns, such as distributing $WASABI tokens via partnerships like @arbuschirps, to incentivize participation. Overall, Wasabi aims to combine leverage trading with real yield generation to enhance DeFi accessibility and profitability.
