Our platform not only simplifies the fund setup process but also integrates with major liquidity venues, all managed through the Aspis Smart Contract that automates treasury and shareholder registry, upheld by a transparent voting mechanism to change the terms of the contracts.\n\nAspis focuses on security and provides MEV protection, allows slippage tolerance settings, and implements the Aspis Guardian program to vigilantly monitor each smart contract, eliminating opportunities for manager misbehavior and setting new standards for security in the DeFi landscape.\n\nWith Aspis, users can delegate their funds to professionals without fear of being scammed. This is also a good tool for treasury management.\n\nLinks:\nDemo: https://youtu.be/Au95WZs0gHA?si=z47DO2sBi_Mtfwqm\nPitchdeck: https://docsend.com/view/ybmgw2nsnj82ej94\nApp: https://app.aspis.finance/", "hidden": false, "question": "Application detail", "questionId": 1}, {"type": "number", "answer": "75000", "hidden": true, "question": "Amount requested (in $)", "questionId": 2}, {"type": "dropdown", "answer": "ARB", "hidden": true, "question": "Payout token", "questionId": 3}, {"type": "short-answer", "answer": "I am co-founder", "hidden": true, "question": "How do you account for this fund request?", "questionId": 4}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Adding more oracles and DEXes\nEnabling loans and derivatives for yield-bearing instruments\nCreating a trading competition on Arbitrum to attract and qualify experts to launch Vaults and increase awareness about Aspis Protocol on Arbitrum\nIntegrate TradingStrategy to enable writing algo-trading strategies that will run autonomously, written on Python instead of doing manual rebalancing\nCompensating gas fees for the usage of the protocol (everything is on-chain)", "hidden": false, "question": "How will you use these funds?
