Founded in 2022 by Serhii Tyshchenko from Ukraine and Oleksandr Proskurin, Arkis specializes in providing DeFi Prime Broker services with a focus on on-chain risk management.
Their platform allows capital providers to offer undercollateralized loans to DeFi hedge funds in a safe manner. Users can leverage their on-chain trading positions across different protocols and blockchains through a single on-chain margin account supported by a margin engine.
In addition to offering innovative features such as cross-margining and a liquidation planning and execution process, Arkis aims to enhance liquidity aggregation through a strategic partnership with Edge Capital and integration with 1inch. Following successful transactions with DeFi funds in a private beta phase, the company officially launched its services to the public in February, marking the beginning of its journey towards revolutionizing the DeFi landscape.
