Protocol Overview

DI Network is a comprehensive decentralized finance ecosystem designed for the multi-chain future. It combines cross-chain interoperability, synthetic asset trading, and advanced financial primitives into a unified protocol.

Core Architecture

Protocol Components

🌉 Cross-Chain Infrastructure

Purpose: Enable seamless asset transfers and interactions across multiple blockchain networks.

Key Features:

  • Multi-Chain Support: Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Crossfi

  • Gasless Transactions: Pay fees in DUSD across all networks

  • Secure Bridging: Decentralized relayer network for message validation

  • Unified Experience: Single interface for all supported chains

📈 Synthetic Assets (DAssets)

Purpose: Trade synthetic versions of real-world assets using DUSD as collateral.

Components:

  • DSwap: Spot trading of synthetic assets with oracle pricing

  • DPerp: GMX-style perpetual trading with up to 50x leverage

  • Asset Coverage: Stocks, commodities, forex, and cryptocurrencies

Supported Assets:

  • Stocks: xAAPL, xTSLA, xGOOG, xAMZN, xMSFT

  • Commodities: xGold, xSilver, xOil, xGas

  • Crypto: xBTC, xETH, xBNB, xADA, xSOL

  • Forex: xEUR, xGBP, xJPY, xCHF

🪙 Core Infrastructure

Purpose: Provide the foundational tokens and systems that power the entire ecosystem.

Components:

  • DI Token: Native governance and utility token

  • DUSD: Over-collateralized algorithmic stablecoin

  • Oracle Module: Dual oracle system (Chainlink + Pyth)

  • Governance: DAO-controlled parameter management

Key Innovations

1. Unified Multi-Chain Experience

Unlike other protocols that deploy separately on each chain, DI Network provides a truly unified experience:

  • Shared Liquidity: Liquidity pools span across all supported chains

  • Cross-Chain Positions: Open positions on one chain, close on another

  • Unified Gas Payment: Use DUSD for gas fees on any supported network

2. Oracle-Based Synthetic Trading

Traditional AMMs suffer from slippage and impermanent loss. DI Network uses oracle pricing for:

  • Zero Slippage: Trade at exact oracle prices

  • 24/7 Markets: Access global markets anytime

  • Infinite Liquidity: No liquidity constraints for trading

3. GMX-Style Perpetual Trading

Advanced perpetual trading system with:

  • LP as Counterparty: Liquidity providers act as the house

  • Isolated Positions: Each position is independent for risk management

  • Dynamic Funding: Utilization-based funding rates

  • Advanced Risk Management: Automated liquidations and position limits

4. Gasless Transaction System

Revolutionary gas payment system:

  • DUSD Gas Credits: Deposit DUSD to pay for gas on any chain

  • Meta-Transactions: Sign transactions without holding native tokens

  • Batch Operations: Execute multiple operations in single transaction

Protocol Flow

For Traders

For Liquidity Providers

Economic Model

Value Accrual

The protocol creates value through multiple mechanisms:

  1. Trading Fees: 0.1-0.3% on all synthetic asset trades

  2. Interest Payments: 5% APR on borrowed DUSD

  3. Funding Rates: Perpetual trading funding payments

  4. Bridge Fees: Cross-chain transaction fees

  5. Liquidation Penalties: 5% bonus on liquidated positions

Fee Distribution

Token Utility

DI Token:

  • Primary collateral for DUSD minting

  • Governance voting rights

  • Staking rewards (8-20% APY)

  • Fee distribution sharing

DUSD Token:

  • Base currency for all trading

  • Cross-chain gas payment

  • Liquidity provision

  • Bridge transfers

Risk Management

Protocol-Level Risks

  1. Smart Contract Risk: Comprehensive audits and bug bounty program

  2. Oracle Risk: Dual oracle system with deviation limits

  3. Economic Risk: Dynamic parameters and circuit breakers

  4. Governance Risk: Timelock delays and multi-sig controls

User-Level Risks

  1. Liquidation Risk: Monitor collateral ratios and position health

  2. Market Risk: Understand volatility and correlation risks

  3. Impermanent Loss: LP positions subject to trader profits/losses

  4. Regulatory Risk: Compliance with local regulations
