Overview of the available DEFI services in Parallel Finance
Parallel Finance’s services that add more value to the Polkadot ecosystem
As Parallel Finance is designed to be a one stop DEFI hub, it has many useful functionalities further adding value to the Polkadot ecosystem where -:
- DOT holders can easily contribute their DOT using Parallel Finance’s Cowdloan Module to participate in Polkadot’s parachain crowdloans,
- Liquid Stake their DOT, earn staking rewards etc
Parallel Finance’s Generic AMM DEFI functionality
Besides adding value to the Polkadot Network with these useful services for DOT holders, Parallel Finance is also a Super DEFI app, offering valuable DEFI services for Parallel Finance’s users.
- AMM DEX functions with a Liquidity Module for users to provide liquidity to assets. Liquidity providers are incentivized with LP rewards and Para token incentives.
- AMM DEX also has a Swap Module for swapping assets.
Addons that have enhanced Parallel Finance from other generic DEFI dapps
Note, that Parallel Finance is more than a general DEFI Dex as it has innovative features.
- Crowdloaned DOT, that’s the DOT that contributors contributed to parachain crowd loans using the Parallel Finance’s Crowdloan Pallet, get credited to account as cDOT tokens that can be used in Parallel FInance’s DEFI.
- Staked DOT in Parallel Finance, get credited in account as sDOT, liquid staked DOT that can be used in Parallel Finance’s DEFI.
Developing functionalities that enhance the capital efficiency and utility of user’s assets
These derivative cDOT and sDOT assets can be used in Parallel Finance DEFI, where they can be lent in Money Market to earn further yields. cDOT holders can provide liquidity to cDOT-DOT pairs in the liquidity module and earn LP rewards which can be lent to earn more yields in the Money Market.
One of the core principles of Parallel Finance is to have capital efficient DEFI, this means making optimal use of available assets for best possible yields.
Now, Parallel Finance has created a way for users to avail liquidation free loans using their cDOT based assets to borrow DOT assets. You can read about it here.

Stream activates Parallel Finance’s Dao Fi capabilities making it possible to conduct automatic payroll payments and token distributions.
