This proposal recommends deploying Extra Finance on Ethereum mainnet to expand protocol reach, access deeper liquidity, attract higher-value users, and strengthen Extra Finance’s long-term positioning as a core DeFi primitive. Ethereum remains the primary settlement layer in DeFi and is where a significant portion of blue-chip assets, long-term liquidity, and institutional-grade activity operates. Expanding to ETH reduces reliance on a single ecosystem and increases protocol durability over time. Motivation Extra Finance has proven product-market fit and strong demand for leveraged yield strategies. To sustain long-term growth, the protocol should expand into markets with: Deeper capital pools Higher-value users Stronger integration potential Long-term infrastructure stability Ethereum provides the most mature environment for sustainable DeFi growth and offers opportunities that may not exist to the same extent on smaller ecosystems or more retail-heavy chains.
Why Ethereum Mainnet ✅ 1. Access to DeFi’s Deepest Liquidity Ethereum hosts the largest concentration of DeFi capital, enabling more efficient leverage strategies, improved execution, and better borrowing/LP depth for users. ✅ 2. Higher-Quality User Base ETH mainnet typically attracts: larger depositors long-term participants funds, DAOs, and professional DeFi users These users often generate stronger protocol stickiness and higher fee value per position. ✅ 3. Strengthen Protocol Credibility & Brand Launching on Ethereum signals maturity and places Extra Finance alongside the most established DeFi primitives (Uniswap, Aave, Lido, Maker), improving perception and partnership potential. ✅ 4. Risk Reduction Through Chain Diversification A mainnet deployment reduces single-chain dependence and strengthens resilience against ecosystem-specific liquidity migrations or market shocks.
Benefits of Expanding Extra Finance to Ethereum (ETH) Access deeper liquidity (more capital available for lending + leveraged strategies) Attract higher-value users (larger average deposits + longer-term positions) Increase protocol revenue potential (more volume + higher TVL = stronger fee generation) Improve capital efficiency (tighter markets, better execution, healthier leverage loops)
The fees are proof the network is valuable, and Extra Finance expanding to ETH is about capturing the users who already choose to pay for that premium environment.
