By tokenizing real-world assets and facilitating investments through DeFi, Svim provides a cost-effective alternative for asset owners and offers stable yield opportunities for crypto investors.\n\nBy discussing with many asset owners, RWA tokenization protocols, and other industry participants, we realized how critical liquidity is for everyone. So Svim Finance plays an aggregated assets and aggregated liquidity sourcing model to connect the capital with the right assets to reduce the cost of the funding channel and improve the investment yield for liquidity providers. By leveraging our TradFi/DeFi domain expertise, building AI models and agents, and sourcing through our network of Web2/Web3 partners, we are solving this important liquidity challenge for the RWA ecosystem.\n", "hidden": false, "question": "What problem is your project solving in the RWA space?", "questionId": 3}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Svim Finance differentiates from other RWA projects in multiple ways:\n\nGlobal coverage: We embrace open and inclusive finance philosophy, which aligns with the borderless spirit of crypto ethos. In our RWA project, we will offer high quality assets that truly connect global participants of asset owners, borrowers, lenders, investors, service providers, blockchain infrastructure, regulators, other RWA protocols and dapps. Comparing with certain other RWA projects that focus on a particular niche or geo market, we\u2019ll cover global developed and emerging markets unless forbidden by law. \n\nMarketplace and protocol: Our business model is positioned in two angles: an aggregated marketplace and a tokenization protocol. Just like 1inch is a token swap aggregator, or Genie/Gem is an NFT aggregator, Svim Finance is becoming a RWA aggregator. To start, we focus on private and public credit based financial assets. We are working with two launch partners to implement our first batch of liquidity pools in the coming weeks. As an aggregator, we will enjoy the benefits of building on top of other RWA protocols then aggressively scale our marketplace with reasonable cost of operations. In future phases, we\u2019ll expand beyond credit model and financial assets into other sectors such as commodities, real estate, ReFi, collectible, etc. In our vision, both individual and institutional investors will find a wide range of high quality RWA assets they can select to build portfolios with diversified geo markets, yield level, risk profile, timeline duration etc. When we see fit, we will also play the tokenization role to source, evaluate, and legally wrap RWA assets onchain to boost the ecosystem. \n\n\nAI empowerment: As we scale, we\u2019ll add AI components in our marketplace and protocol. On a high level, there are two areas where we will build AI features: 1) We will build AI based risk management systems to predict and manage credit risk. This is a very familiar domain for our team and it provides another form of risk assurance in addition to the overcollateralization and liquidation process. 2) We will build a ChatGPT-like generative AI assistant that we plug into our website and social media platforms to educate users, explain RWA assets, guide the onboarding process, elaborate our liquidity pools, and answer any investment level or account level questions. \n\n\nWeb2/Web3 experienced team: We have a strong core team based in US and Asia, and a mix of Web2 banking/fintech/startup veterans and Web3 crypto exchange/custodian/blockchain talent. We are experienced in building value-adding products from scratch and obsessed with innovations especially combining TradFi and DeFi. We are super bullish about RWA and have lots of ideas to execute step by step.\n", "hidden": false, "question": "Explain how your project is different from others and will bring value to the RWA ecosystem on Arbitrum.

All launching in a few weeks, then scaling up with more financial assets and partners.Further out, we will expand to non-financial non-lending models.\n\n\u25cf\tService providers: About 10 providers are in the working with different progress levels: use case discussions, signed NDA, negotiating commercial agreements, etc.\n\nWe are currently building on Ethereum mainnet, and plan to expand to L2s including Arbitrum soon in Q3.
