Competition
Sources and methodology
If you want to do your own research, here's the Deep Research prompt we used: I am preparing a competition slide / graphic for Filigreen, a community bank for tokens. Filigreen combines an Aave-style lending protocol strategy with a traditional community banking play akin to Silicon Valley Bank. I have prepared a list of competitors below along with their associated websites. For each competitor, summarize their strategy, identify their relevance to Filigreen, identify whether they are focused on overcollateralized or undercollateralized loans, and identify whether they are more protocolized (permissionless) or individualized (permissioned).
We then asked: Grade each competitor on two dimensions on a 1-10 scale: Liquidity: from no expectations around token liquidity or no token (1) to only for highly liquid tokens (10). Trust: from trustless (more overcollateralized, permissionless, protocolized treatment) (1) to trustful (more undercollateralized, permissioned, individualized treatment) (10). Include columns justifying each number.
We then edited the output based on our own background knowledge and assessment of these projects.
