DeFi & Lending
Lendfinity - Bridging the DeFi Gap on Internet Computer
Lendfinity was created to address a key challenge in the ICP ecosystem. Despite its technical advancements, DeFi participation remained a small fraction of its overall market activity. The team collaborated with ICP HUBs to develop a lending protocol on Bitfinity, an EVM-compatible Layer 2 on ICP, drawing inspiration from Aave's proven model.
Through this support system, Lendfinity built a platform that enables ICP and Bitcoin token holders to participate in secure, decentralized lending and borrowing for the first time. The protocol features a transparent transaction system, robust security measures, and an intuitive interface accessible to both new and experienced users.
Key achievements include being the first lending platform optimized for Internet Computer's native assets and establishing a community-driven development approach that ensures continuous improvement based on user feedback.

Piggycell - Infrastructure Ownership with Blockchain
Piggycell partnered with ICP HUB Korea to transform the powerbank sharing industry through innovative blockchain integration. Already dominating the South Korean market with a 90% share, 13,000 installation points, and 3 million users, the team sought to enhance their infrastructure model with Web3 technology.
With help from ICP HUB Korea, Piggycell successfully digitized charging stations on the blockchain, creating a unique ownership model where PGC tokens are equitably distributed among store owners, users, and the foundation.
The project has achieved remarkable milestones, including the deployment of 100,000 blockchain-connected batteries and the development of a gamified "hub occupation" system that significantly increases user retention. By turning charging stations into location-based hubs with social and gaming features, Piggycell has created a versatile platform for future business expansion.
Through ICP HUB’s support, Piggycell has positioned itself at the intersection of physical infrastructure and Web3 innovation, offering unprecedented value and connectivity to all stakeholders in its ecosystem.
