# Welcome to NBX

With DeFi booming since 2020, over $80B fund is managed by over 2,500 blockchain protocols.

All these DeFi protocols have different yield, structure, and risk/reward profiles, therefore it is cumbersome work for general users to find the most optimal platform that delivers the highest return with minimal default risk. As a result, most users ignorantly park their assets in their decentralized wallet or rely on any generally well-known platform.&#x20;

This causes inefficiencies in the fund management of most crypto users.

**We want to change that.**

NBX stands for New Beyond Exchange.&#x20;

**NBX is a decentralized, non-custodial protocol for asymmetric yield distribution protocol.**

**Powered by different yields on ZK and other ecosystems, we aim to be the epicentre of ZK's Defi and expand.**&#x20;

We enable users to maximize the return on assets, with the most optimal risk/reward profile.&#x20;

We achieve this by having 3 major lines of products/features for our users to use.

1. Algorithm-driven yield optimizer :&#x20;

* Offer different products in other protocols that have the best yield.&#x20;
* Think of it as a vault where you can compound yield and incentives

2. Cross-chain LSDfi

* Eventually, all native ecosystem assets will need Liquid staking. We believe that this will happen to all L1s
* And when there are assets staked and locked, the ecosystem is ready for derivatives.
* We believe there will be multiple LSDfi assets, protocols and native assets that will utilize this network

3. &#x20;Incentivized Airdrop management

* Ultimately reducing the users' burden of artificially making numerous layer 2 transactions for airdrops; simply using NBX’s Auto Farm function automatically generates a series of on-chain transactions and allows users to maximize airdrop compensations with just one click. NBX Auto Farm starts with the zkSync Era chain and plans to expand to other prominent upcoming layer  protocols, to maximize users’ returns.
