Recently, the decentralized finance (DeFi) industry has seen a major development as the emerging project Themis announced the completion of a $2 million angel round, led by Y Combinator’s co-founding team, with participation from several well-known Silicon Valley venture investors and experienced crypto investors. The round will mainly be used for product iteration, ecosystem construction, and global market expansion.

Themis is positioned as a decentralized crypto asset trading platform built on the BSC chain, integrating DeFi and perpetual contracts as its two core modules. It aims to create an efficient, fair, and transparent on-chain trading environment for global users. The platform’s native token, TBV (Themis Token), is designed with an economic model and technical architecture centered on trading depth, asset security, and ecosystem interoperability, with the goal of building a solid value bridge between decentralized finance and real-world assets.

BTC Mirror-Layered Anchoring Mechanism: A Solution for Future Liquidity Issues

Themis has proposed an innovative BTC Mirror-Layered Anchoring Mechanism (Mirror Layered Locking). This mechanism establishes an on-chain BTC reserve vault, locking BTC in a tiered manner as an anchoring asset to support the long-term value system of TBV.

This design aims to address potential risks of BTC over-concentration and declining market liquidity in the future. Through a decentralized BTC vault and mirror anchoring framework, Themis can provide the market with a more liquid and open BTC value carrier, allowing users to maintain BTC exposure while achieving higher capital efficiency and trading flexibility.

The BTC vault adopts DAO governance and a multi-signature custody mechanism, jointly managed by team members, community nodes, and third-party security institutions to ensure reserve safety and fund transparency.

Integration of Perpetual Contracts and DeFi: Building a Transparent and Efficient Trading Experience

Themis focuses on on-chain perpetual contract trading as its core business, supporting up to 50x leverage. All trading data can be verified on-chain in real time to ensure transparency. The platform uses a liquidity pool model instead of a traditional order book structure to reduce slippage, enhance depth, and attract market-making capital through transaction fee sharing and liquidity incentives.

With BSC’s low gas fees and high throughput, Themis balances performance and cost advantages, providing users with a trading experience close to centralized exchanges while maintaining the security and autonomy of decentralization.

RWA Tokenization Ecosystem: Connecting Real-World Assets and On-Chain Liquidity

In addition to perpetual contract trading, Themis is also expanding into the RWA (Real World Assets) tokenization sector. The project team plans to establish a dedicated incubation system to provide tokenization solutions and liquidity support for projects with real cash flow and asset backing. Through DeFi staking mechanisms, users can provide liquidity for RWA tokens and earn returns, thereby promoting the integration of real-world assets into the on-chain financial system.

The platform’s compliance design supports KYC/AML whitelisting and multi-jurisdictional legal frameworks, ensuring the sustainable development of RWA projects in terms of security and regulation.

“Traders as Builders” Community Model

The Themis ecosystem adopts a decentralized governance model, where TBV token holders can participate in platform decisions through DAO voting, including protocol upgrades, parameter adjustments, RWA project listings, and BTC vault strategies. The node staking mechanism allows users to earn production rewards by staking TBV, while participating in network consensus and governance, realizing a “traders as builders” community model.
