On this topic I decided to share with you relatively new services in the DeFi world that have been released in the last few months. The topic is strictly introductory in nature and is not a call for investment, nor is it advertising content.
I also want to remind about the resource, which shows all new DeFi projects in the form of tokens, links to Uniswap and Etherscan, as well as the amount of liquidity - New DeFI Projects
Finxflo - The world's first hybrid liquidity aggregator combining DeFi and CeFi.

FinNexus - Decentralized options with universal aggregate liquidity
Decentralized options using FinNexus create a set of open financial protocol clusters that will manage hybrid markets that trade both decentralized and traditional financial products. The main product to be released is a fully decentralized model of bitcoin options (and other cryptocurrencies) that will exist on Ethereum and other blockchains. This model is called Multi-Asset Single-Pool (MASP). It is a universal options protocol that allows you to create and sell options from any type of underlying asset based on collateral located in a single liquidity pool.

Sparta - Undercollateralised lending & yield-generating pool
Sparta is a program "public bank/fund" that helps to obtain high interest rates by combining DeFi yield optimization and interest rate sharing by providing unsecured loans.

- Roadmap
- Medium ANN
- F.A.Q.
What can a user in Sparta:
- Contribute to the pool and holding the internal pTokens. Their price is determined by the bond curve and varies depending on the liquidity volume in the pool. It is intended for secondary liquidity management.
- Withdraw insufficiently secured loans from the pool (providing only 50% of collateral).
- Provide funds to pool members by betting in favor of their loan applications and earn higher APRs.
- All early participation in Sparta will be counted in the upcoming liquidity maining program.
Sparta aims to transform the new developments in DeFi into the original concept of a proven solvent savings and pension fund, independent of the banking system and resistant to inflation and a wide range of attack vectors.
EPNS - Ethereum Push Notification Service
What is Ethereum push notifications service?
Ethereum Push Notification Service (EPNS) is a decentralized DeFi notification protocol that allows users (purse addresses) to receive notifications and earn money from them. Using this protocol, any application, service or smart contract can send notifications to users (wallets addresses) regardless of platform (cell phone, tablet, Internet, favorite wallets, etc.). The DeFi protocol aspect also ensures that the user receives and earns from these notifications.
Why do need notifications?
Services do not expect users to come to them, instead they notify users. This is the missing part of the blockchains ecosystem. Apple changed the world with notifications in 2009, EPNS aims to make it decentralized in 2020.

Liquity - Protocol of interest-free loans on Ethereum
Liquity is a decentralized protocol that allows ETH holders to obtain unprecedented collateralized liquidity without having to pay interest. After locking ETH as collateral in a smart contract, the user can get liquidity by embossing LQTY. Individual liquidity positions, called "troves", are forever without a fixed repayment schedule. Each trove must be collateralized by at least 110%, which is significantly lower than the collateral requirements on existing DeFi platforms. Borrowers with high collateral and depositors from the Stability Pool ensure system stability and are rewarded for their role by generating excess profits against the collateral of liquidated troves.

Redemption mechanism
Quote
Similarly to fiat-backed stablecoins, LQTY is redeemable at face value against the underlying collateral. Whenever 1 LQTY trades below $1, holders and arbitrageurs are incentivized to redeem 1 LQTY for $1 worth of ETH. This helps to stabilize the price of LQTY through direct arbitrage rather than by relying on indirect monetary interventions like variable interest rates set by governance. When redeemed, the system uses the LQTY to repay the riskiest trove(s) with the lowest collateral ratios and transfers the respective amount of ETH to the redeemer.
