Pear Protocol

Pear Protocol is a cutting-edge DeFi platform that streamlines and improves on-chain pairs trading. It enables users to open leveraged long and short positions in a single transaction, providing a superior user experience compared to traditional centralized exchanges. Maktoum was instrumental in developing the blockchain infrastructure for Pear Protocol, working closely with their team to implement core features and ensure smooth on-chain integration.

CHALLENGE / OPPORTUNITY

Pear Protocol aimed to simplify the complexities of pairs trading in the cryptocurrency market. Traditional systems required multiple transactions for managing long and short positions, leading to inefficiencies and increased risks. Additionally, users faced challenges with custody and liquidity management across various centralized exchanges (CEXs). The need was for a decentralized solution that could integrate various liquidity sources while allowing users full control over their assets.

THE SOLUTION

Maktoum contributed to Pear Protocol by deploying two blockchain developers and a designer to focus on both the blockchain infrastructure and UI/UX overhaul:

  • Blockchain Development:
    • Implemented Solidity smart contracts that allowed users to open leveraged long and short positions in a single transaction, represented by ERC-721 tokens for easy transfer, trading, or collateralization across DeFi platforms.
    • Designed complex margin and leverage management systems, incorporating features such as liquidation safeguards, automated rebalancing, and secure collateral management to ensure stability under volatile market conditions.
  • DeFi Integration:
    • Integrated Pear Protocol with top DeFi trading engines like GMX, Vertex, and SYMM to provide access to deep on-chain liquidity, enabling users to execute complex trading strategies while maintaining full control over their assets.
    • Designed the contracts with multi-chain support, making them scalable and ready for expansion across different blockchain ecosystems.
  • UI/UX Overhaul:
    • Revamped the frontend interface, creating intuitive dashboards, advanced charting tools, and user-friendly interfaces for managing pairs trades in a decentralized environment.
    • Simplified complex DeFi functionalities, resulting in an improved user experience that was praised by both the Pear Protocol team and its community.

IMPACT

Maktoum’s work significantly enhanced the way users interact with on-chain pairs trading on Pear Protocol. By developing a robust blockchain framework, users can now efficiently manage long and short positions in a single transaction while maintaining decentralized custody of their assets. Access to deep liquidity pools and a seamless user experience has transformed Pear Protocol, positioning it as a leader in DeFi functionalities. Our ongoing partnership continues to expand the platform’s capabilities and drive further innovation.
