We’re proud to announce the winner of Friktion’s $30,000 prize in the Solana Riptide hackathon: ZettaBlock. Thank you to all 32 teams who submitted projects for our prize — we enjoyed reviewing your work — find us in Discord and let’s keep building!
Our thesis: Since the launch of our first Volt, nearly 17000 unique users have interacted with our Volts across 28 products. With the largest set of structured product strategies offered in DeFi, it’s clear that we need a reliable portfolio tracking service for users to gain insights on their performance across strategies. Giving every user the ability to easily track performance and real-time PnL is a priority for Friktion to deliver best in class full-stack portfolio management, and we’re excited to work with ZettaBlock on this. Most data infrastructure solutions we’ve engaged with are incomplete, too high touch, or just too slow — until now!
This is where ZettaBlock comes in!
ZetaBlock’s data infrastructure provides the customizability and scalability needed to power Portfolio Analytics for every Friktion user. Using this infra, we’re building a Portfolio Management experience unrivaled across CeFi and DeFi. As we’ve demonstrated with our Institutional grade Analytics page, Friktion aims to set the DeFi standard for transparency and risk management. Thanks to the progress made by the ZettaBlock team during the Riptide Hackathon, the data pipeline we’re building out enables continuous PnL tracking, performance, and risk management for any Friktion user. As Friktion Volts become strategy legos within portfolios, reliable portfolio analytics will be critical to build a killer UX.
