Dego Finance is a decentralised finance (DeFi) project that integrates non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and DeFi elements to create a comprehensive NFT ecosystem. It allows users to create, mine, auction, and trade NFTs across multiple blockchains, offering a modular, cross-chain infrastructure for blockchain projects.
Dego Finance operates on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) after transitioning from its initial launch on the Ethereum blockchain. It employs a Proof-of-Stake Authority (PoSA) consensus mechanism for validating transactions. The platform offers an NFT Foundry for minting, NFT Mining, and FOMO3D-style auctions, using its smart contracts for executing these operations. It plans to expand to Polkadot and launch on the DEGOCHAIN mainnet for enhanced cross-chain functionality.
Dego Finance's use cases include NFT creation and management, participation in governance through DEGO tokens, and as an incubator for DeFi applications like yield aggregation, lending, and insurance. Additionally, the platform serves as an NFT marketplace, facilitates GameFi, and acts as an incubator for web3 innovations. It explores sectors such as digital art, gaming, and broader DeFi implementations.
Founded by an anonymous team, Dego Finance launched in September 2020 on Ethereum and later moved to Binance Smart Chain. It achieved significant milestones such as a token pre-sale, various airdrops, and managed to navigate challenges like a major hack in 2022 that led to token migration. Dego Finance has evolved into an incubator for emerging projects, supporting narratives in DeFi and blockchain, with significant market presence and technology development over time.
