DeFi Simplify - Comprehensive Cross-Chain DeFi Platform
Project Overview
DeFi Simplify is an advanced DeFi platform that combines multiple key innovations:
-
Visual Strategy Builder: As seen in the batch component (typescript:frontend/app/batch/page.tsx startLine: 387 endLine: 418
), users can create complex DeFi strategies using a visual block-based interface.
-
Multi-Protocol Integration: The platform integrates with multiple DeFi protocols:
- PancakeSwap (
typescript:frontend/components/pancakeswap/pancakeswap.tsx startLine: 43 endLine: 82
)
- 1inch Cross-Chain
- Squid Router
- CoW Protocol
- Chainlink CCIP
-
Privacy Features: Integration with Oasis Sapphire for confidential transactions ( typescript:oasis-sapphire-remix-plugin/src/components/SapphireDeployer.tsx startLine: 23 endLine: 68
)

- Cross-chain messaging capabilities
- Strategy execution contracts
-
Oasis Sapphire Plugin:
- Remix IDE integration
- Confidential contract deployment
- Private transaction handling
Recent Updates
- Added Merchant Moe DEX Support for Mantle Network
- Implemented AI-based Trading Agent
- Added XMTP Chat Support for CrossChain Trading
- Developed Remix Plugin for Oasis Privacy
Here's a detailed explanation of how DeFi Simplify was built:
Core Architecture
The project is built on three main pillars:
- Frontend Layer
- Built with Next.js 14 using the App Router
- Styled using TailwindCSS with shadcn/ui components
- Framer Motion for smooth animations (as seen in HomeScreen.tsx)
- React Query for efficient data fetching and caching
- Blockchain Integration Layer
- Multiple Web3 libraries (ethers.js, web3.js, wagmi)
- Custom hooks for blockchain interactions
- Thirdweb SDK for wallet connections and contract interactions
- Viem for low-level blockchain operations
- Protocol Integration Layer
- PancakeSwap SDK for DEX operations
- 1inch Cross-Chain SDK for cross-chain swaps
- Squid SDK for bridging operations
- CoW Protocol for MEV protection
- Chainlink CCIP for cross-chain messaging
Key Technical Features
1. Strategy Builder
The strategy builder is implemented as a block-based system where each block represents a DeFi action. The implementation can be seen in:
This allows users to:
- Create multi-step DeFi operations
- Save and load strategies
- Execute multiple transactions in sequence
2. Cross-Chain Integration
The cross-chain functionality is built using multiple protocols:
-
PancakeSwap Integration:
-
1inch Cross-Chain:
import { PrivateKeyProviderConnector } from "@1inch/cross-chain-sdk"
import Web3 from "web3"
import { Web3Adapter } from '@/lib/web3-adapter'
3. Privacy Features
Integration with Oasis Sapphire for confidential transactions, implemented through a custom Remix plugin.
4. Strategy Storage
Implemented using BNB Greenfield for decentralized storage:
