- AIRENA
Airena is the ultimate bridge between reality and the Metaverse. With the advanced 3D AIGC, Metaverse, and space UGC system, AIRENA provides a one-stop social and artwork platform for 2D/3D artists.

MidaSwap is an NFT DEX. MidaSwap’s AMM model is based on uniswapV3’s optimized Liquidity Book model, which supports creating NFT trading pairs with any assets permissionless and LPs can earn trading fees with Single-Sided Liquidity. LPs will gain ERC721 LP tokens and be able to start liquidity mining. Compared with Sudo’s one LP one pool model, Midaswap supports different LPs of one collection to provide liquidity in the same pool and gathers NFT liquidity of LPs in one pool on chain, resulting in higher composability. Midaswap’s vision is to simulate DeFi summer and bring NFT summer back to life.

LSDx is an ultra-liquid protocol for all LSDs. It aims to optimize the financial value of liquid staking derivatives (LSD) assets, addressing the limited liquidity and lack of diverse financial scenarios that hinder their connection with various DeFi protocols.
ETHx is the first liquidity pool to be launched by LSDx. Users can subscribe to ETHx by staking ETH, stETH, and sfrxETH. This allows for different LSD tokens to be instantly switched with low slippage through ETHx. LSD holders will enjoy higher APR, better liquidity, and more dispersed risk. In the future, LSDx plans to launch a variety of liquidity pools, including APTx and a new debt-stabilized currency called Ultrasound Money (UM).
