Hello, and thank you for joining us!
We’re excited to dive into OpenWorld and its unique approach to simplifying high-yield investing in the crypto space.
1. Can you introduce OpenWorld and explain how it simplifies investing into high-yield opportunities in the crypto market?
OpenWorld built portfolios of the best liquidity pools on the Arbitrum ecosystem, and automated the optimization of those positions, to maximize your return and lower risk. It turned a complex financial investment (liquidity pools) into a passive income opportunity for crypto investors that is yielding 15-30% and higher, in a safe, diversified manner.
2. OpenWorld focuses on investing in liquidity pools. Could you tell us more about how this strategy benefits users?
Me and my cofounder (twitter: agvbtc, 0xMilkiee) are experienced crypto investors, who found an investment opportunity in liquidity pools. Liquidity pools are the fuel of decentralized finance, and innovations such as Uniswap v3, which minimized price slippage and downside risks, allow experienced investors to benefit from providing liquidity to the ecosystem. However, liquidity pool investing is complex.
When users provide liquidity, they earn a fee from allowing traders to swap between tokens. But optimizing your position within a liquidity pool requires a lot of research, time and effort to maximize the yield.
This is where OpenWorld Portfolios comes in–we automate the positions within a portfolio, optimizing the range, compounding the yield into the initial position, and maximizing your returns over time.
3. OpenWorld promises ease of use with its auto-rebalancing portfolio. How does this feature work, and how does it maximize yield for investors?
OpenWorld Portfolios maximize yield for investors in 3 critical ways:
1. Keeping the investment within trading range: The trading range of tokens vary with every trade, and optimizing your position within that range is important in generating yield.
2. Auto-compounding your yield: Liquidity pools reward users with fees, which OpenWorld auto-compounds on a regular basis to take advantage of the power compound interest.
3. Auto-balancing portfolio: Experienced investors know the importance of rebalancing your portfolio to ensure maximum returns over time. There are various economic studies that show why this auto balancing helps investors protect their wealth and grow it over time. As an example, something called Shannon’s Demon shows how a simple 50% gain/33% loss investment will net to zero over time because the returns get eroded away by volatility, but will grow in a compounded way over time if rebalanced after every flip.
For users, this rebalancing of their investment happens automatically within the OpenWorld Portfolios.
4. Trust and transparency are critical in the crypto industry. Can you explain how OpenWorld ensures security and transparency through smart contracts?
Trust and transparency are building blocks for how we built OpenWorld. In addition to being built on Arbitrum, one of the best and most trusted Layer 2 blockchains, OpenWorld routinely audits its smart contracts to ensure they work as intended and to lower security risks. Additionally, our cofounders (twitter: agvbtc, 0xMilkiee) are public figures in the crypto and defi space, conduct routine AMAs, and are always interacting with the OpenWorld community on telegram (https://t.me/OpenWorldGlobal). In terms of transparency, each of the Portfolios public addresses are available on the page, so users, journalists, or anyone else can review the performance of the smart contract.
5. What makes the Arbitrum ecosystem attractive for the OpenWorld Portfolio, and how do you select the best liquidity pools to invest in?
The Arbitrum team has been very supportive and encouraging of OpenWorld. Arbitrum’s technical roadmap is full of blockchain innovation and optimized for builders and DeFi. Arbitrum also has the biggest total value locked (TVL) of any layer 2, which means opportunities for Defi builders. Finally, we were able to automate many of the investment decisions because of the low fees, fast transaction speeds, and safety of the Arbitrum system.
Selecting the best liquidity pools involves various factors, including TVL within each of the pools, correlation among the trading pairs, and annual percentage rate (APR). APR in particular is something that can be confusing for investors, because the rate listed in DEXs can be deceptively high. We track the historical APRs for the top liquidity pools on Arbitrum, and only bring the ones that meet our investment thresholds onto OpenWorld. Then, we calculate a much more accurate, but still estimated, APR and display that on our page for users to get a more accurate view of their investment.
6. Could you elaborate on how OpenWorld diversifies investments across various liquidity pools and why diversification is important for your users?
Diversification is one of the most important, but least utilized investment tools in crypto. Many early investors in crypto start out wanting to invest, and quickly get caught up in trading and wanting to catch that 100x token. While some investors may get lucky, the vast majority of people would be better off buying into the most established crypto and getting yield from those positions.
OpenWorld Portfolios take your crypto and distributes it into multiple, high-yielding, low risk, liquidity pool positions, which lower your downside and keeps you exposed to the upside of crypto, while generating yield and compounding that yield over time.
For example, if you hold the same assets in a wallet that we provide in a Portfolio, over time, those assets will grow or lose value based on market volatility, but the positions will not get rebalanced unless you do it manually. More importantly, you would not be earning any yield on those assets, unlike putting them to work within a liquidity pool, which could yield from 15-30% or even higher. In addition, we automatically reinvest (auto-compound) the rewards, growing your investment even faster.
7. What role do your experienced and public team members play in building trust and ensuring the success of OpenWorld?
OpenWorld has three main team members that are online and available in our Telegram group, (https://t.me/OpenWorldGlobal): Tri our CEO, Ivory our community manager, and me (twitter: 0xMilkiee, Holaivory, agvbtc) . Additionally, the rest of our team is also on telegram and helps answer technical questions or provide other support as needed.
I think this is important in any business, not just in crypto. Imagine that you go into a restaurant and while you’re there, the owner comes to your table and introduces herself, thanks you for coming in, and lets you know that you are welcome there any time. As a customer, you would be more likely to come again.
Although one of the best features of crypto is the pseudonymous aspect of it, as a founder, being public helps provide a certain level of trust that is helpful when researching a project. We also get great insight from our users and community members, which we are able to use to continually improve OpenWorld.
8. How do partnerships and backers support OpenWorld’s growth and user confidence?
Our partners include Arbitrum, Verichains, Kyber, and a few other technology and Defi projects in the space. They have helped us build, and in the case of Verichains, audited our project to ensure it is safe. Additionally, we have worked with various media partners (including The Blockopedia) recently, as we launched our project.
In crypto there seem to be a lot of “partnerships,” which I think is a positive sign for the industry. Crypto is a very new industry, and projects recognize the value in helping each other grow. The goal is a thriving, growing industry with tools that are easy to use to onboard the world to an alternative to the traditional finance cabal. We’re happy to partner with anyone who can help us realize that vision, so long as they are also ethical actors in crypto.
9. What are some of the key milestones in OpenWorld’s roadmap that investors can look forward to?
We passed two major milestones recently: We launched OpenWorld Portfolios out of the waitlist in August, and passed 200k USD invested into the Portfolios in September. We also narrowed down our offering to two products that had become the most popular among users: the BTC Portfolio and the Balanced Portfolio.
On our roadmap, we will be launching a referral program that rewards users when they refer a new user to OpenWorld, and an exciting new partnership with a crypto education project that can help bring more investors into crypto. We are also working on a new web site that will make it even easier (and prettier) to use OpenWorld.
We are also launching new OpenWorld Portfolios that will give users even more options for safely diversifying their crypto while earning a high yield.
10. Lastly, for those new to DeFi and liquidity pools, how does OpenWorld help them get started with easy access to high-yield opportunities?
If you navigate to ow.finance, you will find two Portfolios that you can stake into, the BTC Portfolio and the Balanced Portfolio. These two portfolios diversify your investment in crypto by staking them into multiple liquidity pools, and optimizing the positions. That means auto-balancing, keeping you in an optimal trading range, and auto-compounding your rewards to grow your investment even faster, all done automatically. You can see a demo video on our youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBcr4aJYSJc&t=2s
We are built on Arbitrum, an Ethereum layer 2 solution, for fast and safe execution, and minimal fees. The Portfolios are yielding from 15-30% and higher, and your investments are diversified across the crypto market.
The alternative to this is to research the best liquidity pools in the market, buy every pair of tokens needed to stake into those pools, then manage those positions, while still not getting the auto-balancing and auto-compounding benefits. We built this tool to help us with our liquidity pool investments, and we hope that it can be helpful to other investors.

We look forward to seeing how OpenWorld continues to empower crypto investors and simplify the journey toward high-yield opportunities.
