This Is Precog Finance

6 min readFeb 16, 2022

In just a few months since its founding, Precog Finance has evolved from a single idea to an ecosystem of DeFi protocols meant to address and fill in the gaps in the DeFi space that have emerged since the explosion of the industry. Mainly, these include crypto & DeFi arbitrage trading and DeFi derivatives growth; which, on top of presenting a large and growing host of opportunities for traders of such backgrounds, are also areas lacking in decentralized platforms open for all kinds of investors — until now.

Precog Finance is a unique, institutional-grade financial ecosystem that automates arbitrage trading and democratizes access to innovative crypto-derivatives; the former is called Sentient, and the latter, Cerebral. Together they form the backbone of the Precog ecosystem, the key aspects of which include:

A real-time protocol with 24/7 functionality and lightning-fast trading speeds.
The ability to simulate any trading sequence across multiple platforms and thousands of assets via a machine-learning and AI-assisted algorithm.
Passive income avenues for long-term ERC-20 token holders.
The option to fund new projects by borrowing Ether (ETH) using their existing portfolio as collateral.
Unique short-term and long-term opportunities for traders looking to lend their tokens.
A unique DeFi Staking program where the staker becomes a BTC miner and earns rewards in BTC and PCOG tokens.
Multichain is the future, and Precog is a multichain DeFi protocol that supports Layer 1 Ethereum blockchain network and Layer 2 Polygon network. The best part is that it’s expandable, and additional chains will be supported in the future.
Precog Labs’ mission is to democratize the access to unique and very sophisticated DeFi products that offer solid potential for high returns (yields).

While CEXes offer a combination of these, there is no single decentralized ecosystem besides Precog that currently offers all of the above-mentioned features via decentralized protocols — as Sentient and Cerebral do. Such DeFi tools have long been overdue, which is the reason why Precog Finance exists.
