DeFi. It’s a buzzword, it’s a revolution, and for many, it’s a scary black box. And right at the center of it all is Aave, with its lending/borrowing code. And now, it's doubling down on USDT. Could this be their first step towards real financial inclusion? Or replacing sinking ships...
Is DeFi on Sui truly leveling the playing field, or simply building a new one? Truthfully, I’ve been thinking about that question for many years now. In fact, it would be very difficult to ignore the Total Value Locked (TVL) increasing exponentially from $25 million to more than $2.1 billion....
Okay, let's talk about Sui. Now everyone’s talking about the DeFi boom. It’s still very notable to see how quickly it has climbed in TVL to over $2 billion, recently overtaking Avalanche and Polygon! Hold on a second, we want to say. I’m not saying it’s all smoke and mirrors,...
Sui has quickly emerged as a front-runner in the decentralized finance (DeFi) race. In 2023, it has continued its explosive growth and currently sits as the third-largest non EVM chain by Total Value Locked (TVL). The platform’s TVL subsequently skyrocketed from under $25 million at its launch. By May 2025,...
The space of decentralized finance (DeFi) is rapidly changing, new Layer-1 blockchains popping up like daisies looking to take Ethereum’s crown. Among these contenders, Sui has quickly made a name for itself, with a Total Value Locked (TVL) of over $2 billion. This increase in TVL proves to be more...
DeFi. It pledged a decentralization, a monetary order freed from the custodians of finance that were Wall Street. Decentralized, transparent, accessible — these buzzwords seduced us all, enticing us with the snake oil salesman pitch of jaw-dropping, wealth-generating yields. Let’s face it, for the average consumer, DeFi is still a...
Want to recapture the feelings that got us all so hyped on DeFi in 2020? It was no longer enough to just try to catch the next 100x coin. Our goal was to break open the black box of legacy finance. Our aim was to develop a process that was...
Let's talk about XRP. I know, I know, we’ve all heard this drumbeat for a long time. I want to cut through the noise and address something fundamental that's holding it back from truly blossoming in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space: its pre-mined model.No Mining: Community Left Out?Think about Bitcoin....
XRP, originally called Ripple, is a digital asset developed by Ripple Labs in 2012. Unlike Bitcoin, it is not dependent on mining in order to function. When it launched, all 100 billion tokens of XRP were pre-mined. This means that new tokens can no longer be generated as a result...
I've been watching the crypto space for years, and while there are legitimate innovations, there's also a worrying trend of repackaged risk marketed as easy money. XRP is going to take over the international payments system. Today it’s associated with “liquidity mining,” which produces all sorts of risk indicators and...
