Reef is a decentralised finance (DeFi) platform positioned as a cross-chain trading, smart liquidity aggregator, and yield engine that operates on the Polkadot network. Launched in 2020 by Denko Mancheski, Reef aims to resolve the complexities and inefficiencies in the DeFi ecosystem by providing a seamless interface for users to navigate the crypto landscape. Unlike traditional centralised exchanges, Reef offers a solution that interconnects with various blockchains, allowing for seamless trading and asset management. Its native token, REEF, serves multiple purposes, including governance, staking, and paying transaction fees on the platform. Reef’s architecture, leveraging Polkadot’s interoperability, allows for fast and low-cost transactions, targeting both retail and institutional investors by offering features for risk-adjusted yield generation and liquidity management.
