👨💻Product & Tech Updates
📣HODLer Market Update
|
 |
|
The HODLer Market is the solution to mercenary liquidity. The HODLer Market's hodling period function enables market creators to set a maturity date for their market. With this in place, the users interacting with the market will not be able to withdraw funds until the end of this period; however, they will have the ability to use the token as collateral to borrow other stables. The idea behind this mechanism is to provide a tool for projects to exclude mercenary speculators - those who farm. withdraw, and sell the token - and reward those who are committed to grow with the project. This is a win-win project for all the HODLer Market participants. 💰
Anyone can create a HODLer Market in 3 simple steps:
- Deploy;
- Initialize;
- Configure.
These 3 steps enable HODLer Market Creators to freely customize their market by setting up multiple parameters. The HODLer Market's built-in, configurable Smart Contract Factory will generate a lending smart contract based on the parameters Creators set when starting a lending market for their preferred token. 📜

📈From 🐻 to 🐂 Market
|
|
|
The crypto world has some similarities with the traditional financial market, like the terms "bear" and "bull." In "bull" markets, cryptocurrency sentiment and prices are booming and growing; investors and traders alike wait for this type of market to gain lucrative profits. The term "bear" market implies that investors believe that cryptocurrency prices will fall. During this period, investors may panic for fear losing their investment. Currently, we find ourselves in a "bearish" market period. 📉
The bull and bear markets have tremendous effect on the investor mindset. Many investors are desperate for an answer to the question, "When will the bear market end?" For this reason, we launched an opinion poll asking the community a simple question, "When will 🐻 turn into 🐂?". The four options were: A) In 1 week; B) In 1 month; C) In 6 months; and D) In 1 year. The turnout was impressive: We received 350 responses! 🥳 Almost 45% of the respondents say that we'll have to wait another year to see the bulls take over the market. If you also want to join the discussion, join our community now!
In the midst of the current bear market downturn, the DeFiner team is focused on building and developing the product with the HODLer Market. This isn't a "bear" market, but a "buidler" market. 😆

🔐The Role of DeFi in Web3
|
|
|
|
Web3 is a concept that is as fascinating as it is new. In short, Web3 is a blockchain-based, decentralized internet where users have control over their own data. How does DeFi fit into Web3 technology? 🤔 Some say that DeFi will be the infrastructure of Web3, others say that Web3 only serves as a buzzword in today's marketplace. Regardless, we asked the community about how DeFi will fit into a Web3-based interconnected future. Here's what some users have to say:
- "What? A web3 without DeFi is that a web3?" - @TheRichCryptoL1 (Twitter).
- "I believe it will be used for finance." - LucidiK (Reddit).
- "DeFi will be reshaping our traditional financial and monetary systems by making them more transparent and user focused." - totallyfvckedup (Reddit).
- "When dApps begin to integrate with the real world and so people interact with real world projects or assets through these dApps in a decentralized network, then we will see the usage of DeFi in a meaningful way." - TrueTears (Reddit).
- "[I]t's gonna be the tool that will provide better decentralized financial tools like loans and borrowings for example, without the need of TradFi barriers upon requesting loans and without limits to loaning to banks."- DiogoCostaANKR (Reddit).
What will the future hold for DeFi and Web3? The future is hard to predict. But the DeFiner team is focusing on what they can control: Product development. Certainly, the HODLer Market will play a vital role in the emergence of Web3 technology. 😌

💭Why DeFi Over CeFi?
|
|
|
CeFi vs DeFi is a hotly debated topic in today's cryptocurrency world. DeFi uses new blockchain technology to enable cross-border, permissionless digital-asset transactions. In contrast, CeFi uses intermediaries to provide centralized financial products and services, such as payment processors and banks.
Many crypto enthusiasts are pushing for DeFi because of its benefits, like self-custody, transparency, and accessibility. We asked the community why they preferred DeFi over CeFi. Here are some of their responses: 😃
- "Not your keys, not your crypto. Simple as that. Even in DeFi, you're still adding a layer of trust that requires just that. At least you can know what is happening through a transparent chain." - u/advias (Reddit).
- "Better staking rewards." - u/joshmillerent (Reddit).
- "Swap fees goes to people who finance liquidity pools. CEXs get both fees and work your money like a bank with [zero] benefit to the user who deposit some money." - u/TrueTears (Reddit).
- "Transparency, control, and accessibility. From allowing everyone to access financial services that on CeFi are reserved to just a few (access loans with equal APY accessible to everyone, and even flash swaps and flash loans). It also gives full transparent access to your tokens, their ownership, and the right to move them whenever you like. There's also the fact that the market doesn't close and you can trade every single day of the year, plus, you have almost no transaction costs and much faster speeds when transferring assets." - u/DiogoCostaANKR (Reddit).
In the long run, DeFi may have the upper hand because of its potential to make financial services available to everyone. 🙌

Many investors believe that hodling during a crypto winter period can offer security, since they avoid dealing with both the short-term fluctuations of the market and the risk of selling at a loss. We were curious to know about what the community's thoughts were on why they HODL during a market crash. Here are some of their responses:
- Time in the market beats timing the market. - u/joejitsu_crypto (Reddit).
- Because you don't know when it's going to end. - u/hsifuevwivd (Reddit).
- Hold and buy more lower or sell at bear market rallies. Never panic especially if you believe in the project. - u/winstonchill (Reddit).
- You don't know when and [where]. Plus you want to make that big $ and timing the market isn't it. Buy hodl, cheaper buy and hodl. - u/IBesto (Reddit).
- The best investors are typically those who forgot they invested, unless you think the assets will never ever recover then holding is not a bad strategy. - u/Puzzleheaded_Ad928 (Reddit).
If you are a HODLer, you might not want to miss our upcoming HODLer Market. ✌️
