What are the foundations for creating a strong DeFi ecosystem?
- Stable coins or liquid digital assets for use cases that are not speculative
- A stable blockchain platform. Fees and speed of transaction settlement are both critical for the DeFi industry.
- A set of open-source smart contracts that DApp developers can utilize. Here comes the Harmony DeFi toolset : a set of smart contract to interact with, so that new DeFi applications don’t have to start from the scratch.
Among the key developers as presented on Harmony’s updated development roadmap in Shanghai key foundations delivered will include:
Q4 2019: Port DeFi apps
Q1 2020: Confidential assets & Lending credit data
