I. Introduction

The Cardano ecosystem is no stranger to evolution, with projects rising and falling as the market shifts. Recent concerns over many notable projects remaining in the Cardano ecosystem highlight the importance of aligning with user needs and building for sustainability. At Big BLYMP, we’ve taken a different approach — one rooted in adaptability, efficiency, and a revenue model designed to weather any storm.

With a lean team of fewer than 10 people, we’re building a thriving ecosystem by focusing on high product-market fit (PMF) solutions (Yamfore, Obymare, Indytane), harnessing Cardano’s latest dev-tooling, and maintaining highly cost-effective operations. In this blog post, we’ll dive into how Big BLYMP generates revenue, why our approach is sustainable, and how we’re distinguishing ourselves in Cardano’s DeFi landscape while creating a foundation for long-term success.

Please note that these strategies are iterative and will fully take shape as essential building blocks, such as the completion of Yamfore PTP development, are finalized, all scheduled for this year. The transition phase has already begun, and we’ll elaborate on this later in the article.

II. Revenue Streams: Three Pillars of Stability

Big BLYMP’s revenue model rests on X3 core avenues, each carefully crafted to maximize efficiency and resilience. Here’s how we do it:

1. Perpetual Borrowing and Lending Against Token Holdings, aka the “Buy, Borrow, Die” Strategy

Drawing inspiration from the “Buy, Borrow, Die” strategy, we borrow against our token portfolio — ADA, CBLP, and OBYIII — through lending and borrowing platforms, primarily Yamfore PTP (currently in development) in our case. Rather than selling assets and facing taxable events or market volatility, we use them as collateral for low-interest loans, unlocking liquidity to fuel operations while preserving long-term value. This approach aligns our company’s interests with those of the community: the more value we deliver, the more our assets appreciate, benefiting token holders of both $OBYIII and $CBLP.

2. Yield Obtained from our stablecoin holdings ( $OBYUSD )

$OBYUSD, our ecosystem’s stablecoin, is a key revenue driver. By lending it to borrowers, we generate steady interest payments. Its stability meets a clear market need — users want a reliable store of value in turbulent times, making $OBYUSD a high-PMF offering. We also build synergy, as the primary source of yield on our $OBYUSD holdings comes through Yamfore PTP, reinforcing Big BLYMP’s ecosystem synergy.

This yield source provides a stable and conservative income stream from our holdings, unaffected by market conditions, since it stems from a stable asset. The cherry on top is its key role in Yamfore PTP, enhancing Yamfore’s profitability and indirectly adding value to our CBLP holdings. This stream remains consistent across market cycles, supported by strong stablecoin demand, and provides a reliable foundation for our lean team.

3. Revenue from Indytane Yield Strategies

Indytane represents a pure yield-optimization platform, designed to drive sustainable returns and reinforce the strength of Big BLYMP’s ecosystem. Capital routed into Indytane is deployed directly into Yamfore PTP, where OBYUSD acts as the exclusive supply asset. This targeted approach not only amplifies Yamfore’s utility and adoption, but also turns Indytane into a self-contained revenue engine — one that thrives regardless of market volatility.

All earnings generated through Indytane flow into two key strategies already outlined:

> 1) Perpetual Borrowing and Lending Against Token Holdings, aka the “Buy, Borrow, Die” Strategy

> 2) Yield Obtained from our stablecoin holdings ($OBYUSD)

By focusing solely on high-efficiency yield flows and cutting out unnecessary complexity, Indytane exemplifies our philosophy: build simple, powerful tools that do one thing exceptionally well. It also reinforces the synergy between our protocols, every component strengthens the others in a closed-loop model of sustainable value creation.

III. Conclusion

As the Cardano ecosystem continues to mature, Big BLYMP stands at the forefront of sustainable innovation. Our three-pillar revenue model — anchored by collateralized borrowing, $OBYUSD yield generation, and Indytane’s streamlined focus on yield optimization — demonstrates how deliberate, minimalistic design can produce lasting value without relying on token sales or speculative hype. With Obymare development concluding, Yamfore V1.5 rolling out, and Indytane now operating as a dedicated yield engine, we’re not just hitting milestones — we’re establishing a durable, revenue-first foundation for long-term growth.

Our decision to end all CBLP sales for funding by the end of Q1 marks a defining transition toward true self-sufficiency. What continues to set Big BLYMP apart is our ability to achieve outsized impact with minimal overhead. Our compact team leverages Cardano’s advanced development tooling to deliver precise, high-PMF products that meet real user demand with unmatched efficiency. This lean, execution-driven mindset ensures we stay resilient through market cycles while consistently delivering value to our ecosystem. Looking ahead, our commitment remains firm: to build sustainable, modular DeFi infrastructure that strengthens Cardano at its core. By staying focused, cutting complexity, and optimizing for real-world performance, we’re building something that lasts — regardless of market conditions.
