Envisioning DeFi as a crucial character in assisting traders through bear markets, IPI Labs builds Shorter Finance into a 100% on-chain infrastructure encompassing venues for single-sided token farming, customizable derivatives trading, and foolproof liquidation with foresight, notably bringing margin trading and physical delivery to the DeFi landscape with a downright open-source ethos. Shorter Finance allows users to short tokens, without being interfered with by centralized services.
Having successfully completed preliminary testing rounds on February 25th, 2022, we are pleased to announce the launch of the Shorter Finance Beta Version. For users to have a better understanding of these unique features, we’d like to explain what Shorter Finance is and how to interact with this sophisticated decentralized infrastructure.
This Beta Version allows you to be part of the final testing process to refine Shorter Finance, allowing you to immerse yourself in this brand-new Dapp. The governance token (IPISTR) is linked to several key activities, such as maximizing the privileges of Rulers or voting for diverse proposals that are relevant to the entire protocol. Ready to embark on your own path to conceptualizing Shorter?
Shorter Finance allows you to:
Shorter’s participants are classified into three major categories. Users may engage in all three roles at the same time to explore more possibilities. The Providers take farming profits by supplying liquidity for the loan pool. The Traders rely on loan pools to leverage funds to meet trading needs. As the stone of Shorter, eligible Rulers utilize their governing rights to vote proposals and become beneficiaries by liquidating the positions approaching closeout levels.
In a token loan pool, Providers can deposit the single-sided tokens to earn rewards. As a Provider, you can try the staking process.
There are three main steps in the staking process:
You can add some test tokens by following these steps:
The Traders can select a token loan pool to open short positions or manage the lifecycle of the positions in an accurate manner.
Simply launch the program as described in Steps 1-2 above.
Short-term price volatility — “spike”
Let’s use a real-world example: On May 22, 2022, the cryptocurrency market fell suddenly and CELO’s price dropped to $1.50.
Meanwhile, on Shorter Finance, Alice set up a position with the same parameters.
John must deal with force covering because the margin call can’t be fulfilled.
Alice’s position was designated as a legacy position, waiting for the Rulers to bid in a physical delivery method on arbitrages.
John was left without a position as a result of his overdrawn account.
However, Alice’s legacy position has been closed in the liquidation proceeding, and the realized P/L rate was set at +25%.

Shorter Finance will be a prominent DeFi narrative in the coming bear market, as we continue to integrate with IMs (e.g., Discord, Telegram), wallet applications, exchanges, and other objectives. Think of it this way: you are talking to someone else in the group, while your trading orders are dropped into blockchain through some letters and commands typed in the message box. Stay tuned for those!
In addition to the unique and innovative nature of Shorter Finance, our community is growing rapidly with many excellent traders and influencers. Without spending a cent, you can benefit from this early knowledge.
