liquid-staking-program
Marinde Anchor-Based, first on mainnet, liquid-staking-program and mSOL->SOL swap pool
As for cool projects that are OSS, I guess I have to shill the project that I'm working on hahaha. I'm a dev for socean. Our first product is a stake pool. We built it off the solana program library implementation and then merged our contributions back upstream. You can see our fork here. I can't say for sure, but I think most defi protocols took this route: building off the reference implementations of programs in the solana-program-library and then merging their contributions back upstream. Other examples are orca, which is an AMM, and solend, which is a lending-borrowing protocol.

However, developing using the solana sdk directly is very low-level and prone to bugs, so I think most people tend to use anchor nowadays. We have a couple of projects we're working on that are built in anchor which we will release to public soon. In the meantime, there are tons of OSS solana projects built in anchor such as marinade, which is another stake pool, saber, which is an AMM for stablecoins.
