About exactly
Exactly is a decentralized and open-source DeFi protocol designed to facilitate the exchange of crypto assets through user-friendly deposits and borrowing options with both variable and fixed interest rates. This unique approach allows users to easily manage their assets while accessing necessary liquidity.
What sets Exactly apart from other fixed-rate protocols is its innovative method of determining fixed rates. Instead of relying on the prices of various maturity tokens, Exactly Protocol calculates fixed rates based on the utilization rate of its liquidity pools across different maturity dates. This allows the protocol to operate efficiently without the need for a custom automated market maker, streamlining the trading of maturity tokens through a variable rate pool.
Launched in July 2021, Exactly Protocol transitioned to the Ethereum Mainnet in November 2022 and expanded to the Optimism network in March 2023. The development team consists of industry experts in software, economics, finance, and mathematics, ensuring a robust foundation for the project. Notable investors include seasoned partners aligned with both Web2 and Web3 ecosystems, which adds credibility and support for the protocol's growth.
Moving forward, Exactly aims to leverage Optimism’s Superchain strategy to enhance its ecosystem. The protocol plans to collaborate with Web3 projects and traditional fintech companies to broaden the reach of DeFi benefits to end-users, promoting greater accessibility and utility.
The EXA token serves as the governance token within the Exactly Protocol. It empowers holders to participate in decision-making regarding protocol upgrades, treasury management, and risk strategies. By holding EXA tokens, users can influence the direction of the protocol, ensuring that it evolves in line with community needs and priorities.
