Unlocking Value Without Unlocking Tokens: SecondSwap & Diffuse Tackle DeFi’s Liquidity Challenge

SecondSwap and Diffuse are tackling the persistent challenge of illiquid locked tokens in DeFi. Expanding to Avalanche, SecondSwap provides a transparent, on-chain secondary market for tokens subject to vesting schedules or early investor lockups. This addresses the inefficiency of traditional methods like over-the-counter (OTC) sales, which often come with steep discounts and opaque pricing. Meanwhile, Diffuse utilizes its Collateral Abstraction protocol to enable locked assets to participate in various DeFi ecosystems without needing to be unlocked. This approach unlocks value without relinquishing control over the tokens.
