ATA is [BEP-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/bep-20) and [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) on the Binance Smart Chain. ERC-20 is a token standard most new tokens follow when publishing on the Ethereum blockchain. [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) is secured by a [proof-of-work ](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-work-pow)consensus mechanism that requires miners to mine new Ether. A set of decentralized nodes validates transactions and secures the Ethereum blockchain. BSC is secured through the [proof-of-stake](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-stake-pos) consensus mechanism. 21 validators are elected every 24 hours to validate transactions and maintain blockchain security. These validators have to stake a certain amount of BNB coins with Binance to be eligible to do so.

ATA is a [BEP-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/bep-20) and [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) token with a total supply of 1 billion and a current circulating supply of 172 million. As the native utility token of the Automata Network, it has several use cases: * Governance: ATA token holders can create and vote on proposals, platform features and network parameters. * Mining rewards: Compute and storage miners earn ATA tokens by running applications and executing transactions for users on the network * Protocol fees: Users pay miners for storage and computation tasks * Geode allocation: Users can bond ATA tokens to participate in Geode auctions

Automata Network aims to be recognized as the go-to privacy service for DeFi and Web3 with its proposition of privacy middleware. It aims to fill a gap in the market by providing privacy-focused solutions that integrate with existing blockchain infrastructure in an intuitive, seamless manner. Its applications are built for Web3 purposes and include anonymous voting, miner extractable value (MEV) minimization, and do-not-track indexing. These allow users to transact safely, regain control of their identity, and offer better building blocks to developers with open-source code and APIs. Its anonymous voting service is called Witness and offers low-cost, off-chain voting, on-chain execution based on the results and different levels of privacy, ranging from private to public, based on the protocol’s requirements. The solution supports [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/), [Binance Smart Chain](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/binance-coin/), and other [Substrate](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/substrate)-based [EVM](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm)-compatible chains. Each of these functions can be used as standalone or together, e.g., if a project wants to use Witness as a signaling tool without on-chain execution. Conveyor is Automata’s MEV minimization solution that is chain-agnostic and works seamlessly with [DEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex)es like [Uniswap](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/uniswap/). It ingests and outputs transactions in a determined order, thereby creating a front-running-free zone that removes the chaos of transaction reordering. Features include gasless trading, anti-front running, privacy on ordering, and integration with other DEXes.

Automata was founded in 2019 by a team of blockchain developers and researchers, including previous founding members of [Ziliqa](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/zilliqa/). Co-founder Zheng Leong Chua holds a PhD in computer science from the National University of Singapore, while the other co-founder Deli Gong previously worked at Ziliqa as infrastructure lead. In total, the team numbers 11 people and has been a recipient of Web3 Grant (2020), a participant of the Web 3.0 Bootcamp (2020), Berkeley Blockchain Xcelerator (2021), and Polkadot Decoded Mainstage speaker (2021). The team’s investors include illustrious names like KR1, Alameda Research, founded by [FTX](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ftx-token/) CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, IOSG Ventures, Divergence Capital, Genesis Block Ventures and Jump Trading.

You can buy LEVER on any of the leading centralized exchanges such as [Binance](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/binance/), [Gate.io](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/gate-io/), [MEXC](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/mxc/), [Tokocrypto](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/tokocrypto/), [Bitrue](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bitrue/), [Pionex](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/pionex/), [BKEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bkex/), [Mandala Exchange](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/mandala/), [Hotcoin Global](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/hotcoin-global/), [BingX](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bingx/) and [CoinEx](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/coinex/).

Four days after the Lever token was launched, the token traded at an [all-time-high](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/all-time-high) (ATH) of $0.0053. However, since then, the token has experienced a decline in value, despite witnessing a 15% spike in price following a Binance AMA promotion at the end of July 2022. If LeverFi delivers on its roadmap and continues to attract users to its platform, the protocol rewards would accrue to the LEVER token, likely making it an attractive holding. On the other hand, due to the large circulating supply, one could make the case that LeverFi will not likely hit $1.

The tokenswap between LeverFI and RAMP was projected to begin in June 2022 which means that at the time of writing in early August 2022, trading has already started.

LeverFi is an Ethereum-based platform. Ethereum is secured by the Ethash [proof-of-work](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-work-pow) (PoW) [consensus mechanism](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus-mechanism). However, it has been announced that the [Ethereum Merge](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/the-eth-merge-trade) is likely to occur on Sept. 19, 2022. This would see Ethereum transition to a more energy efficient [proof-of-stake](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-stake-pos) (PoS) consensus mechanism.

The LEVER token is a [governance token](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/governance-token). LeverFi has a maximum supply of 35 billion tokens. Users can participate in governance of the protocol if they lock up LEVER for a period of 6 months to 48 months. Each token represents one vote and allows users to oversee issues regarding the addition or removal of collateral, lending pools, tradable assets and so forth.

The primary case for LeverFi is to establish a unique solution for traders by integrating trading and farming into a single platform. Users can deposit [collateral](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/collateral) as single assets, such as [Bitcoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/), [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/), [Curve](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/curve-dao-token/) [liquidity provider tokens](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-provider-tokens-lp-tokens) (LP) and [Uniswap](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/uniswap/) LP, and then unify their collateral in order to trade with larger positions. The platform also supports users who partake in pair trading or hedging with leverage, while also allowing users to utilize the platform in conjunction with [DEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex)/[CEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/centralized-exchange-cex) derivatives. LeverFi charges trade fees of 1% for every trade. Furthermore, LeverFi routes trade to pre-existing DeFi protocols and decentralized exchanges. For instance, when a user longs an asset on the platform, the asset is bought on a liquid secondary market via DEXs. LeverFi does not act as a counterparty to their users, and hence claims that it does not engage in “player versus player” or PvP behavior as it is a conflict of interest.

The Singapore-based RAMP DEFI project was founded in 2019 by Lawrence Lim and Loh Zheng Rong. Together, they re-branded the platform and launched LeverFi 3 years later. Lawrence Lim, the co-founder, began his career in 2012 in the traditional finance world. He worked in private banking and corporate mergers and acquisitions before transitioning into crypto with IOST, a blockchain network. Loh Zheng Rong, the co-founder and marketing lead of the project, is a graduate of the Singapore Management University with a B.B.A in Finance Wealth Management. He co-founded NOX (a blockchain infrastructure company) in 2018 and previously served as the managing partner at Merkle Ventures.

LeverFi, formerly known as RAMP DEFI, is a [decentralized](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized) [leverage](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/leverage) trading platform. In March of 2022, the team behind RAMP DEFI rebranded their company to adjust to the increasingly uncertain [DeFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/defi) market. The rebrand aims to tackle issues within the current DeFi market such as a lack of sustainable TVL and utility. The team behind LeverFi hopes to create a product that provides value by allowing users to trade and [yield farm](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/yield-farming) at the same time . Lenders deposit funds into lending pools and earn an interest from traders who borrow to leverage trade up to 10X. Any liquidity from lenders that are not used would be deposited into other DeFi protocols to generate more yield. LeverFi aims to serve as a bridge for [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) and EVM-compatible chains like [BNB Chain](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bnb/), [Avalanche](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/avalanche/), [Polygon](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/polygon/), [Arbitrum](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/sushiswap-arbitrum/), [Optimism](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/optimism-ethereum/) and more.

The main idea and task of DF Capital is to become the number one community in TON, to create a synergy effect within it through popularization and filling missing niches, services and products. On top of the TON blockchain the team launched the DFC token, which will socially connect all participants in this crypto sector into something more integral. Several TON & market services are already created to demonstrate our capabilities and approach, as well as to continue recruiting and training the community. The DFC token is the basis for uniting people through the DAO, the connecting link in these processes. The final goal is to become within TON network the same major player with related ecosystem services as Binance once became for the entire crypto market and led it to new heights, uniting previously disparate members of the crypto community. DeFinder team is firstly solving the problem of fragmentation and voids within the TON blockchain groups, which is obviously gaining popularity for us. DF Capital allliance will use part of the DFC token supply from social pool to attract new participants and motivate them to work together. This will also cause general interest in the stability of the DFC token rate. DFC team sees the potential of the TON blockchain and want to join and help him succeed. Specific products will be created to meet the specific needs of the emerging community. There are already a few proposals from the DAO. The DFC token itself is now deliberately not officially loaded with any utilities, which will allow the team to flexibly maneuver to suit the changing market. DFC is now the glue for social interaction among all TON user base. The first steps and products that are planned are outlined in the Roadmap which can be found on the website https://definder.club/#Roadmap
