Get started with Rivo.xyz by diving into our onboarding guides. Here is a brief overview of what you will find:
Liquidity is the lifeblood of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. Without it, core DeFi functions like asset swapping, lending, and borrowing simply cannot operate. In fact, this very liquidity today has become a valuable commodity, with various market players — ranging from blockchains to protocols — willing to pay for it through interest rates, token airdrops, or governance token rewards. This has created a host of passive income opportunities for crypto users, making the simple act of "storing money in a wallet" increasingly less appealing.
Enter Rivo, a platform that bridges the gap between the complex DeFi landscape and retail audiences seeking to earn a steady passive income stream for themselves. Rivo's Yield Marketplace provides users with a convenient, user-friendly entry point to explore a diverse array of investment strategies, empowering them to accrue passive wealth without having to navigate the intricacies of DeFi directly.
Rivo: Helping bring DeFi to a wide retail audience
Rivo’s Yield Marketplace is designed to solve several problems faced by both protocols as well as retail users. On the one hand, we provide users with a curated selection of investment strategies — categorized by risk level, volatility, and asset type — allowing them to easily find options that align with their risk appetite and investment goals. On the other hand, we connect these retail users with different DeFi protocols, providing them with a reliable source of liquidity that protocols need to function effectively.
Rivo's strategy selection process is guided by two primary factors: trending strategies with high total value locked (TVL) and attractive annual percentage yields (APYs), as well as strategies developed by our trusted partner providers. By carefully vetting and categorizing these strategies, we aim to create a "smorgasbord" of passive income opportunities for our users. You can learn more about our strategy selection methodology here.
Prioritizing User Safety
As a non-custodial yield aggregator, Rivo does not store any user funds, acting merely as a bridge between users and DeFi protocols. Access to all the strategies listed on our platform is provided by trusted and audited partners, such as Enso and Portals. Our team of experts thoroughly analyzes each strategy, ensuring they meet our strict security standards before listing them.
Moreover, we utilize the services of the Beefy autocompounder, a trusted platform with a proven track record of delivering quality security services and having never experienced any hacks or exploits. You can read more about Rivo's security measures here.
Yield Marketplace Features: Empowering Informed Decisions
To help users navigate the complex DeFi landscape, Rivo Yield Marketplace offers a range of features designed to simplify the investment process. For instance, users can filter strategies by asset type, risk level, and use popular tags, allowing them to easily find options that align with their risk tolerance and investment goals.
Upon selecting a strategy, users can access detailed information, including data related to its historical performance, total value locked, risks, audit clearances, and annual percentage yields (APY). Educational videos and asset breakdowns provide further insights, empowering users to make informed decisions.
Lastly, the platform's portfolio overview feature enables users to track the performance of their invested strategies, filtering by time frame and allocation.
ZAPs: Streamlining the Investment Process
One of the standout features of Rivo Yield Marketplace is its integration of ZAPs, which allow users to execute complex DeFi transactions, such as depositing aby asset — associated with any blockchain — into a yield-generating strategy on any network, with a single click.
This not only simplifies the investment process but also helps users avoid potential errors or missteps that could lead to financial losses. To learn more about the benefits of ZAPs, check out this article.
Our Vision: Towards an Ideal DeFi Experience
At Rivo, our vision is to build a non-custodial mobile application that gives users seamless access to the global DeFi ecosystem. This includes not only earning passive income through our Yield Marketplace but also the ability to trade, swap, lend, and borrow assets, all within a single, intuitive platform.
A key aspect of our ecosystem continues to be the use of an account abstraction (AA) system, which allows users to log in using their email or social media accounts, removing the need for complex wallet setups and private key management. Additionally, we aim to offer tax reporting capabilities, generating detailed transaction histories to simplify the process of filing DeFi-related taxes.
By continuously enhancing our platform and expanding its features, Rivo is dedicated to providing a user-friendly, secure, and efficient gateway to the boundless opportunities offered by the crypto industry.
