Introduction:

After close to two years of engaging with the Metis community and collaborating with numerous exceptional individuals and teams, the team at AraFi is thrilled to formally express our desire to become an integral part of this dynamic community. You may be more familiar with us under our previous name, Aerarium. However, as of December 7th, we have undergone a rebranding and are now known as AraFi. This change marks a significant milestone in our journey, and we look forward to contributing more meaningfully to this vibrant community.

AraFi, an innovative meta-protocol, is aiming to transform DeFi on Metis by maximizing returns and streamlining governance for stakeholders. As an Omni-Chain governance aggregator, it addresses issues related to fragmented liquidity and complexity of multiple DeFi protocols. AraFi, operating within the Metis ecosystem, is paving the way for a more cohesive DeFi environment by streamlining yield and enhancing governance processes.

Key Features:

  • Metis DeFi Wrapper Tokens (aAssets): AraFi’s integration of these tokens enables seamless interactions and enhanced yield optimization across various DeFi platforms. These wrapped assets will be liquid enabling users access to some of the best yield on Metis.

  • Locked Governance through Snapshot: AraFi facilitates fair governance by allowing stakeholders who lock their tokens to actively participate in decision-making processes.

Value Proposition:

AraFi aims to redefine the DeFi space by focusing on enhancing liquidity, promoting TVL growth, simplifying DeFi operations, and advancing DeFi adoption. AraFi’s unique approach to enhancing liquidity and providing competitive yields through its boosted liquidity pools and Hermes gauge utilization promises significant growth to Metis’s TVL. By serving as a framework for DeFi protocols, it simplifies operations and encourages widespread adoption of DeFi solutions.

Functionality of AraFi:

AraFi’s key features include our wrapped assets (aAssets) and AraFi’s Locked Governance Token (vlARA). Each of these contribute to optimizing yield, bolstering security, and promoting user engagement. By providing additional yield and farming opportunities, and a participatory governance model, AraFi creates a more dynamic and efficient DeFi ecosystem.

This flow chart illustrates how our features work together to amplify yield and simplify routine operations.

Roadmap:

  • Q4 2023 Beta Launch - The initial release of our product features synthetic wrappers, aAssets, for two Metis ecosystem tokens: Hermes and Maia. In conjunction with this, we’ll also soft launch the ARA governance system. The beta launch marks a significant step in our journey to build a fully functional and democratized DeFi ecosystem.

  • Q4 2023 Liquidity Expansion - Introduction of ARA/METIS trading pair alongside Hercules launch on Metis, enhancing community engagement and diversifying our treasury.

  • Q1 2024 Product alignment - Upgrading our product suite with bHermes boosted vaults, complementing Hermes’ new features.

  • Q2 2024 Addition of Custom Gauge System - Implementing omni-chain custom gauges in our governance model with Ulysses, giving token holders more influence over ARA emissions.

  • Q2 2024 Inflation Control and Token Emission - Addressing economic sustainability by controlling inflation and reducing $ARA total supply to preserve value.

  • Q3 2024 FrontEnd Overhaul - Revamping the platform interface for improved navigation and aesthetics, simplifying DeFi interactions for a more accessible and rewarding user experience.

Conclusion:

AraFi serves as a bridge between various DeFi protocols, enhancing efficiency, and encouraging active governance. It ensures continuous value growth and optimizes yield for stakeholders. Its strategic alignment within the Metis ecosystem amplifies its influence in the DeFi space. As AraFi continues to expand and collaborate, it is well-positioned to build with its innovative approach and strategic partnerships.
