Decoding Polkadot’s DeFi Potential
summary
Ampleforth describes an elastic supply rebase that shares one supply policy across chains and plans a bridge to Acala so AMPL on Polkadot follows Ethereum-calculated supply; timelines aim for Q1 but security makes dates fuzzy. Centrifuge runs a Substrate mainnet (March), tokenizes invoices and real‑estate loans, mints ERC‑20 pool shares on Ethereum and uses a ChainSafe bridge to move assets. Equilibrium builds a Substrate-based cross‑chain money market and DEX with bailout liquidation and a credit‑risk interest model rather than fixed governance rates.
