DeFli Chain tldr

Creating the home of Crypto Funded Infrastructure.

At DeFli Network we have created the term “Crypto Funded Infrastructure” or “CFI” for short. CFI’s adopt a model that allow network builders to fund distributed hardware deployments that serve actual end-users, rather than the traditional “hit and hope” methodology of DePIN. In a sense you could consider CFI’s to be “demand first” whereas DePIN is more “demand last/if ever”.

Here is the proposed flow of a CFI:

Network builder, focusing on demand first, secures contracted terms with a paying end-user.

These contracted terms should include the deployment of multiple hardware elements.

1. The Network builder tokenizes the hardware in the form of an NFT on the DeFli Chain.

2. The NFT takes the form of ERC-721A with our own smart contracts built in to deliver the rewards.

3. The NFT will issue a fixed value of rewards at set time intervals in an ERC-20 token* as defined by the network builder, this is pre-built in to the smart contract.

4. The NFT is listed for sale on the DeFli Chain listings page with 97.5% of the sale value received by the Network builder.

5. The network builder uses the funds to acquire and deploy the hardware.

*the token choice is determined by the network builder, some may choose stablecoins and others may choose their own tokens built on ERC-20 (Ideally Base).

What the DeFli Chain and dApp offer Network Builders

The DeFli Chain is a Layer 3 roll-up built on the Optimism Stack, Base Settlement Layer and Celestia Data Layer. The gas fees on the DeFli Chain are $FLI. It offers an independent transaction explorer and bridge for each user.

Within the dApp, verified users (more on verification below) can complete the following actions with zero code:

1. Create an ERC-20 reward token.
2. Store reward tokens (self-created or stablecoin) in a SAFE Wallet.
3. Create and mint NFT CFI’s
4. Set the reward parameters (value emitted, timeframes, length etc)
5. List the NFT’s for sale and collect sales funds.

Verification is a process that any network builder must undergo before launching a CFI NFT on the DeFli Chain and includes verification of the end-user and contract value.

What this means for Network Builders

A single, no-code creator and destination and blockchain for their CFI NFT’s with 3rd party verification and proof of funds.

Network builders can access immediate liquidity in return for a share of contractual revenue. This mitigates the requirement for external funding or giving away equity unnecessarily.

Network builders can focus on gaining clients and market share.

Financial Instruments and RWA

The DeFli Chain will act as a bridge between tradfi and defi, enabling those seeking liquidity to acquire this on repayment terms that match the expected revenue flows. This unlocks tradfi products such as development loans, mortgages, car finance, asset finance etc to come on chain, negating the lengthy paperwork processes and fund release timeframes that we have seen historically in tradfi.
