It features a market-driven Yield Curve for pricing and trading between different rates and currencies, based on non-arbitrage pricing principles. Infinity also supports complex collateral, including interest-bearing tokens like Aave’s aTokens, Compound’s cTokens, and Lido’s stETH, to unlock new relative value and arbitrage trading opportunities across major DeFi protocols.
