Decentralizing DeFi: Shifting the Focus
The Lemonade-Stand Approach
DeFi, or decentralized finance, has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional financial systems. However, the value of DeFi assets can be misleading, especially when considering centralized exchanges. To truly realize the potential of DeFi, we need to decentralize it further.
The Jigstack Advantage
One of the first products to be released under the Jigstack umbrella is WEB, a decentralized exchange platform. WEB aims to remove the need for intermediaries and empower users to take control of their financial assets directly. By eliminating centralized entities, WEB promotes greater transparency and reduces the risk of manipulation and fraud.
Shifting the Focus
The lemonade-stand approach is a valuable analogy for DeFi. Just as a lemonade stand empowers individuals to create and sell products directly to consumers, DeFi should enable users to access financial services without the need for intermediaries. By shifting the focus towards user ownership, decentralized exchanges like WEB can create a more inclusive and accessible financial system. This approach aligns with the fundamental principles of DeFi, empowering individuals to manage their financial lives on their own terms.
