A combination of dozens of conversations with DeFi professionals, feedback from investors, and finally doctoral research (part-time) led to the Aquo model.
The original ideas were to create derivatives on RWAs (real-world assets) to allow more markets to exist for RWAs. These ideas were shaped into DeFi Composition and then Reinforcement Learning (RL). As of today, we are testing RL systems.
Aquo implements AI learning systems for optimization in an emerging DeFi sector which has over a 100 billion dollars in assets and revenues of billions of dollars.
Our team is a collection of AI and blockchain specialists to deliver state-of-art solutions, using Reinforcement Learning, DeFi Composition, Optimization, Smart Contracts, and Wallet integrations.
We work in the field of optimization by implement AI learning systems. These systems assign rewards to DeFi Protocols so we can use multiple DeFi Protocols in one transaction. This lowers slippage, improves returns and enable complex financial products to be built.
We believe that DeFi solutions can revolutionize financial systems, improving access to financial services, providing better investment returns, more choice for users, and lower operating costs.
We used reinforcement and PyTorch to get the rewards and observations to optimize Aquo transaction.
DeFi Composition is used to call DeFi Protocols.
We implement optimization strategies using RL.
We simulate DeFi Protocols using python to build training datasets.
DeFi markets are split into DEXs, Lending, Yield, Yield Aggregators, and more.
Trevor conceived the notion of a DeFi Derivative for real-world assets (RWAs). He researched the subject, engaged with investors and produced some demos. By June 2023, investors embraced the idea but said tech uniqueness was needed.
Trevor considered that DeFi Composition was viable to build complex financial products.
Trevor started a part-time PhD in DeFi Composition.
Trevor had some breakthroughs after considering convex optimization and determining that DeFi composition could be optimized with savings of 10 percent. He determined that Reinforcement Learning was suitable to solve these problems.
Trevor projects that RL should be working for xy=k (bonding curve).
Trevor projects that RL should be working derivatives.
Using DeFi Composition and Optimization, Liquidity is aggregated.
Slippage can be reduced by leveraging multiple AMM bonding curves.
A full product life cycle can be integrated with DeFi Protocols
By using DeFi Composition we access liquidity pools under optimal conditions.
By splitting transactions across DeFi Protocols slippage is reduced.
This allows a user to build a complete transaction to lend, borrow, buy or sell an option, exchange, and other actions within one transaction.
More flexible and far reaching financial products can be created such as options.
Several DeFi Protocols can be integrated into one DeFi Composition Protocol (Aquo) allowing capital to be used across DeFi Protocols.
A user can access the Aquo platform and access all DeFi Protocols from a single point.
When users have limited access to financial systems and agent model can be used to top-up the Aquo app which then enables access to DeFi DAapps, e.g. for tokenization of RWAs.
RWAs (real-world assets) can be tokenized via a standard SPV (special purpose model) and then additional products can be engineered via Aquo (e.g. lending).
Decentralized Energy markets can exist via Aquo in which separate markets can be connected to one trading product. This is applicable for example to locally engineered energy via solar panels and the energy generated can then be traded.
