Union Finance
Union Finance is a non-KYC peer-to-peer permissionless protection marketplace that allows users to mitigate risks associated with decentralized finance (DeFi) through the purchase of downside protection services. It also offers users the option to provide liquidity to the platform for the purpose of earning premiums from those seeking protection. Union’s state-of-the-art protocol has integrated capabilities built to secure multi-layer risks across smart contracts and protocols in a single-stop scalable system.
Union Finance’s platform offers distinct products to address different risk scenarios. These include C-OP (collateral optimization and volatility protection), a service aimed at mitigating the risks associated with holding cryptocurrencies over extended periods, and U-CDS (Union crypto default swaps), which provide protection against specific adverse events such as smart contract exploits and oracle attacks.
The firm’s services are targeted towards individuals and entities involved in the DeFi space who require tools to safeguard their investments and strategies over both short and long-term programs.
Union Finance has established a range of partnerships across the blockchain and DeFi ecosystem, including UniLend, Waves, Avalanche, BlockScience, Kleros, and Router, as well as the Hedera blockchain network.

Lil Monki is a collection of 1,212 unique, 3D-rendered NFT characters that represent the genesis project within the broader "Lil Universe" ecosystem on the Hedera network.
As the foundational characters of the Lil Universe, Lil Monkis serve as a key to accessing features and interacting with other future collections within the expanding ecosystem and community.
A central element of the Lil Monki project is the "Monki Lab," a feature that allows holders to evolve their NFTs. By combining a Lil Monki with other specific assets from the ecosystem, users can create new, often rarer characters, introducing a strategic and deflationary dynamic to the collection. This process, along with other platform activities, is powered by the native ecosystem token, $LILU. Holders can typically stake their Lil Monki NFTs to passively earn $LILU, which is then used to pay for evolutions and other transactions within the Lil Universe.
Built entirely on Hedera, the project leverages the network's speed and low transaction fees to enable an affordable and efficient user experience for staking, trading, and utilizing the NFT evolution mechanics.
