Quasar is a new app-chain built in the Cosmos Ecosystem, optimizing inter-chain value capture with human-centric design. Its mission is to provide sustainable, sovereign, and ergonomic investment vehicles for digital assets. Quasar's flagship product will be yield-aggregating vaults that enable users to easily deposit Cosmos-based tokens, and passively earn yield generated from automated strategies. It will function like a decentralized, permissionless hedge fund. Its first strategies will be deployed on the Osmosis DEX, and the protocol will proactively expand to other DeFi applications in the Cosmos ecosystem, and introduce more diverse integrations. Moving forward, further diversified vaults and community-contributed strategies will be supported through progressive vault-level governance mechanisms. This will create endless possibilities for innovation and the composition of designs for common and novel investment instruments, such as indexes, asset-backed derivatives, or decentralized funds.
