What is Exactly Protocol (EXA)?
Source description
“What is the project about? Exactly is a decentralized and open-source DeFi protocol that allows users to exchange the value of their crypto assets through deposits easily and borrows with variable and fixed interest rates. What makes your project unique? Unlike other fixed rate protocols that determine fixed rates based on the price of various maturity tokens, Exactly Protocol is the first to determine fixed rates based on the utilization rate of pools with different maturity dates. This means the protocol does not need a custom AMM to trade maturity tokens; it only needs a variable rate pool that consistently provides liquidity to the different fixed rate pools. History of your project: Exactly Protocol was started in July 2021, launched to Ethereum Mainnet in November 2022, and to Optimism in March 2023 by a team of stakeholders with software, economics, finance, and math expertise. Exactly was funded by long-term capital partners with a track record of alignment with Web2 and Web3 ecosystems. Some of our current investors are Kazsek, BairesDAO, NXTP, Newtopia, Kain Warwick (Co-Founder of Synthetix), Esteban Ordano (Co-Founder of Decentraland), Matias Woloski (Co-Founder of Auth0), Daedalus among others. What’s next for your project? Continue growing following Optimism’s Superchain approach and partner with web3 projects and web2 fintech in the long term to bring the benefits of Defi to the end-user. What can your token be used for? (Utility, NOT tokenomics) The EXA token serves as the governance token of Exactly Protocol, granting holders the right to vote on proposals for changes and upgrades in the protocol. EXA holders will wield power over the Exactly Protocol’s treasury, risk management, and smart contract upgrades.”

Exactly Protocol (EXA) FAQ
How does Exactly Protocol combine variable-rate and fixed-rate borrowing?
Exactly Protocol says users can deposit crypto assets and borrow with either variable or fixed interest rates. Its distinguishing approach is to determine fixed rates through the utilization of lending pools with different maturity dates, rather than relying on the prices of maturity tokens. The protocol presents this structure as a way to provide fixed-rate markets without requiring a custom automated market maker for maturity-token trading.
What role does pool utilization play in Exactly Protocol’s fixed-rate model?
The project states that utilization rates across pools with different maturity dates are used to determine fixed borrowing rates. Under this model, a variable-rate pool supplies liquidity to the various fixed-rate pools, which Exactly presents as a simpler design than systems that price maturity tokens directly. The materials do not specify the precise formula used to calculate each rate.
What can EXA holders vote on within Exactly Protocol?
EXA is presented as Exactly Protocol’s governance token. According to the project, holders can vote on proposals involving protocol changes and upgrades, as well as decisions concerning the treasury, risk management, and smart-contract upgrades. The materials do not explain the voting thresholds, delegation rules, quorum requirements, or whether all governance decisions follow the same process.
Which deployment milestones does Exactly Protocol identify?
Exactly Protocol says it began in July 2021, launched on Ethereum Mainnet in November 2022, and expanded to Optimism in March 2023. The asset is categorized within the Optimism ecosystem, and the project says its longer-term direction includes continued growth through Optimism’s Superchain approach. No specific timetable for additional deployments is stated.
How does Exactly describe its intended expansion beyond DeFi-native users?
The project says it aims to partner with web3 projects and web2 fintech companies over the long term, with the stated objective of bringing decentralized-finance benefits to end users. This is a forward-looking positioning rather than a confirmed partnership list. Exactly does not specify which firms it intends to work with, the planned products, or the timing of these efforts.
