My favorite DeFi protocol/project: Curve Finance
What fascinates you most about DeFi? The fact that DeFi is enabling so many disruptions across the spectrum – democratizing finance, tokenizing real-world assets (both tangible and intangible), reducing frictions points in moving money, and advancing sustainable practices through ReFi. These disruptions are coming at a fervent pace, mainly through emerging companies, startups and individuals all across the globe. DeFi is one of the many innovations stemming from the underlying blockchain infrastructure and I fully intend to be at the forefront of this revolution.
Your best knowledge resource in the DeFi space? LinkedIn, Medium, Telegram, DefiLlama
When and what was your first touchpoint with DeFi? Sushiswap in 2022 – swapped some ETH prize money to USDC. Despite being in development for a while I was nervous of impermanent loss, but it all went smoothly.
