## Swap

We will introduce a set of protocols that will allow the creation, issuance, and trading of several types of financial instruments for pairs of BEP-20 tokens. Our approach uses off-chain order forms with on-chain settlement to allow for the creation of efficient markets. All the protocols described are fair and trustworthy, creating a truly open market that is not dominated by a central authority. The protocols are extensible by anyone and do not require special permissions for use with other smart contracts.

The rise of blockchain has made it possible for anyone to own and transfer assets on an open network without trusting any outside parties. Unlike existing financial architectures, blockchain is freely and equally available worldwide. As a result, the number of digital assets residing on the blockchain is growing massively and rapidly. Many centralized and decentralized platforms designed to facilitate the efficient exchange of these assets already exist, and many more are under development. These platforms allow investors to take long positions in a variety of assets. However, taking more complex financial positions is currently very difficult or impossible.

## Staking

Staking Dream Finance is unlike other forms of cryptocurrency staking, such as Ethereum staking. Once you understand how to stake Dream Finance, it's not hard to grasp the concept.

Dream Finance is fully decentralized. It's not owned or operated by one entity, and it uses a unique process called automated liquidity protocol.

In 2021, the Dream Finance platform was built on top of the Ethereum blockchain, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation. It is compatible with BEP-20 tokens and infrastructures like wallet services MetaMask and MyEtherWallet.
