Background

Aquo DeFi Protocol

Based on DeFi Composition and Reinforcement Learning

Our Story

DeFi Composition and Optimization

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.

The Aquo DeFi Protocol

The Aquo Journey

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.

About Us: Passion & Excellence

RL

Who we are?

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.

What we do?

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.

Core Values

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.

Our Technologies

Reinforcement Learning

We used reinforcement and PyTorch to get the rewards and observations to optimize Aquo transaction.

DeFi Composition

DeFi Composition is used to call DeFi Protocols.

Optimization

We implement optimization strategies using RL.

Simulation

We simulate DeFi Protocols using python to build training datasets.

Markets

DeFi Markets

DeFi markets are split into DEXs, Lending, Yield, Yield Aggregators, and more.

DEXs are decentralized exchanges, and Uniswap is one of the big DEXs with revenues of more than a 100 million dollars monthly.

Lending is typically overcollateralized in DeFi, with DeFi Protocols such as Aave, and JustLend leading that space.

Liquid Staking is big in DeFi with protocols such as Lido leading that space.
Market

March 2023

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.

June 2023

Trevor considered that DeFi Composition was viable to build complex financial products.

October 2023

Trevor started a part-time PhD in DeFi Composition.

April 2024

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.

August 2024

Trevor projects that RL should be working for xy=k (bonding curve).

February 2025

Trevor projects that RL should be working derivatives.

Our Latest Case Studies

Liquidity Aggregation
Liquidity

Using DeFi Composition and Optimization, Liquidity is aggregated.

Risk Mitigation
Slippage

Slippage can be reduced by leveraging multiple AMM bonding curves.

Complex Financial Products
Financial Services

A full product life cycle can be integrated with DeFi Protocols

  • 1(current)
  • 2
  • 3

Liquidity Aggregation

Liquidity decreases slippage

By using DeFi Composition we access liquidity pools under optimal conditions.

Risk Mitigation

Optimize transactions on bonding curves

By splitting transactions across DeFi Protocols slippage is reduced.

Complex Financial Products

Building complete financial solutions

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 Financial Products

Flexible Financial Products

More flexible and far reaching financial products can be created such as options.

More Efficient use of Capital

Capital Efficiency

Several DeFi Protocols can be integrated into one DeFi Composition Protocol (Aquo) allowing capital to be used across DeFi Protocols.

Single Point Contact

Accessibility

A user can access the Aquo platform and access all DeFi Protocols from a single point.

Developing Nations

Infrastructure

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.

Tokenization

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

Energy

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.
