Sky Strife is a fully on-chain real-time strategy game, offering a unique and immersive multiplayer online battle arena experience focused on strategic gameplay and character customization. Developed by Lattice and funded by grants from organizations like the 0xPARC Foundation and the Optimism Foundation, Sky Strife uses orbs as its sole resource. Orbs, an ERC-20 token, are used to create matches. Initially, 100 million orbs were minted into the Sky Pool, with no additional orbs to be created. Creating matches costs 100 orbs and rewards players based on their rank and recent match activity. Sky Strife has not yet established a formal governance process.
Aave offers a decentralized, non-custodial liquidity protocol for lending, borrowing, and earning interest on crypto assets. Its community-driven governance process involves AAVE, stkAAVE, and aAAVE token holders in decision-making. Ideas are discussed in the Aave Governance Forum, polled on Snapshot, and, if supported, become Aave Improvement Proposals (AIPs). AAVE tokens, capped at 16 million, are used for governance and protocol security.
Extra Finance, a community-driven leveraged yield farming (LYF) protocol on OP Mainnet and Base. Extra Finance integrates with major DEXs like Velodrome, providing diverse farming strategies and catering to various risk profiles.

Governance is community-focused, with $veEXTRA token holders having significant input in the protocol's direction. Remarkably, Extra Finance is self-bootstrapped, relying on its own resources rather than external funding, showcasing its commitment to organic growth and independence in the DeFi space.
