Hydration

Hydration operates as a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, primarily serving Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) on the Polkadot network. The platform offers a cost-efficient and permissionless solution for market making and liquidity management, allowing DAOs to manage their treasuries in a non-custodial manner. Hydration's core product, the Omnipool, is an innovative Automated Market Maker (AMM) that consolidates all assets into a single trading pool, enhancing trading efficiency by reducing slippage and liquidity fragmentation. The platform supports single-sided liquidity provision (LPing), enabling DAOs to add assets without requiring a second asset, and offers comprehensive documentation for seamless API integration. Hydration generates revenue through transaction fees and provides additional services such as staking, yield farming, and over-the-counter (OTC) orders. The business model focuses on empowering DAOs to build protocol-owned liquidity and diversify their treasury holdings. Key clients include DAOs managing their liquidity and treasuries on the Polkadot network, leveraging cross-chain communication and governance features.
