Revolutionary unified margin protocol eliminates capital inefficiencies and enables portfolio-wide risk management
Project 0, the first DeFi-native prime broker, today announced its official launch on Solana. Serving as a trustless prime broker for decentralized finance, Project 0 addresses critical capital inefficiency issues that have long plagued the DeFi ecosystem while unlocking unprecedented composability across multiple venues.
Traditional DeFi lending protocols operate in isolation, requiring users to overcollateralize positions separately across each platform. This creates significant capital inefficiencies and prevents users from leveraging their complete portfolio when managing risk or seeking liquidity. Project 0 fundamentally changes this dynamic by unifying fragmented markets under a single portfolio management risk system.
MacBrennan Peet, Founder of Project 0, commented on the launch, “The crypto industry has a hyper fixation on reinventing existing, working applications; the Project 0 team is committed to pushing the industry forward. Today’s launch marks the first time users can borrow against their entire portfolio across venues like Kamino, Drift, and Jupiter, with unified margin. This eliminates the frustrating scenario where users get liquidated on one platform despite having offsetting positions elsewhere and fundamentally overhauls the DeFi trading experience.”
Project 0 serves two critical user segments: passive users seeking optimized yield and sophisticated traders managing complex portfolios. The protocol enables powerful new strategies, including:
- Credit against passive yield farmers’ entire, fragmented portfolio
- Cross-platform cash and carry trades with unified risk management
- Capital-efficient hedged market making across multiple venues
- Multi-venue delta-neutral positions that prevent single-venue liquidations
Unlike traditional DeFi protocols that compete by launching their own trading products, Project 0 takes a fundamentally different approach. The platform will never launch native trading markets, instead focusing exclusively on unifying liquidity across existing, industry-leading protocols.
Peet continued, “Prime brokerage services are fundamental infrastructure in traditional finance, and as DeFi matures into a credible alternative to legacy finance and trading, it requires the same institutional-grade tools. Project 0 represents a critical evolution in DeFi infrastructure, for the first time we’re equipping DeFi traders with the same cross-platform portfolio management benefits that have long been enjoyed by hedge funds and institutional players, fundamentally leveling the playing field.”
Beyond individual user benefits, Project 0 is designed to improve overall market efficiency. By enabling liquidity flows across venues, the protocol aims to stabilize irrational rate and price dislocations, instead compressing rates to appropriate risk-adjusted levels across integrated platforms. With plans to expand cross-chain, the benefits of Project 0’s infrastructure are positioned to grow exponentially.
