### **BOUNTY DESCRIPTION**
At the moment DeFi protocols are dominating the cryptocurrency market, they’re the main driver for blockchain technologies development. These protocols cause the significant increase in total value locked (TVL), which is one of the crucial criteria for evaluating a specific blockchain and its’ native coin. The DeFi sector plays a huge role in increasing the value and liquidity of XFI.

- Lending and borrowing protocols
- Automated Market Makers (AMM)
- Market forecasting
- Collateralized Debt Positions (CDP)
- Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSD)
- Yield aggregators
- Insurance

- 2nd place: 1.050 Million MPX
- 3rd place: 600,000 MPX
- 4th-8th place: 270,000 MPX
### **BOUNTY DESCRIPTION**
The infrastructure sector is essential for implementing and scaling the blockchain, and it significantly impacts the native coin’s liquidity. The more convenient and understandable tools are developed, the more users and developers will be attracted to CrossFi Chain.

### **BOUNTY DESCRIPTION**
**GameFi and NFT**
The GameFi market is considered to be the next step in games development and their monetization. NFTs have become a unique phenomenon and are now in a revival stage through integration into game mechanics. GameFi and NFT are a proper catalyst to increase both TVL and the number of transactions performed, which in turn provide a great push to reinforce the XFI coin’s position.
