Elrond Assets Soon Usable in Classical Financing and Cross-Chain DeFi via ProDefi

More Elrond adoption is coming thanks to the latest collaboration with ProDefi, a hybrid solutions provider that looks to bridge the gap between traditional finance and DeFi. The Singapore startup wants to combine the best aspects of CeFi and DeFi, with the goal of opening up classical finance to blockchain benefits, while also enabling broader access to DeFi products.

The mix of classical financing and cross-chain DeFi exposure for Elrond assets will drive adoption to native solutions on our blockchain, thanks to the protocol-agnostic liquidity pools and access to brick & mortar-like solutions that will address a much larger userbase than the current DeFi niche.

“The immense opportunity offered by decentralized finance will enable the new economy to accelerate transformation in those parts of the world that need it most. Just like skipping landlines and going straight to mobile, emerging economies can skip bureaucracy and go straight to FinTech. We believe ProDefi is the right kind of bridge between old & new finance and we’re happy to support them moving forward.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

Elrond Connects to Broader DeFi and Traditional Assets Landscape Via Finnexus

The Elrond ecosystem’s expansion into the DeFi & finance space continues with the integration of Finnexus, an open finance hub that connects assets, users, blockchains, and service providers.

By abstracting the underlying complexity, an end-user might not only be able to use $BUSD to invest in tokenized real-world assets but also use $ERD to hedge the risk of their BTC holdings using the FinNexus Options platform on Elrond blockchain. The large number of possibilities that the FinNexus collaboration opens for the Elrond ecosystem is exciting and a solid adoption catalyst.

Replacing tried and tested financial products with pure DeFi is a very radical proposition for asset managers, family offices, investors, and other financial institutions. But increasing the efficiency and security of familiar products, while reducing their costs, is a much more compelling proposition which will draw attention to crypto products. We’re excited about this prospect and look forward to integrating Finnexus with our mainnet.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

Elrond Mainnet Gets Access to Cross-Chain Liquidity via Swingby Inter-blockchain Asset Swaps

We’re excited to announce a direct avenue for connecting Elrond mainnet assets to established chains thanks to the integration of @Swingby, which enables fast, verifiably secure token swaps between blockchains. It’s non-custodial, decentralized, and works with any wallet.

This integration brings a lot of opportunities to the Elrond mainnet and will enable some truly innovative #DeFi use cases that use our ERD token and other native assets. This will, in turn, bring more users to our blockchain and raise awareness about its capabilities, resulting in even more adoption.

“Getting access to all the available liquidity from day 1 is an important prerequisite for anyone building DeFi tools. This integration enables Elrond to be part of many existing cross-chain DeFi applications. We’re excited to work with Swingby and increase access to Elrond’s highly scalable and cost-effective solution.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

Elrond Mainnet Will Get Private Cross-Chain Transactions via Suterusu 2nd Layer

We’re excited to announce that the Elrond mainnet will get extra privacy options by routing via the Suterusu 2nd layer solution. This gives Elrond accounts the ability to preserve the privacy of transactions sent to other Elrond accounts or even other blockchains such as Bitcoin.

Public blockchains, such as Bitcoin and Elrond, are inherently transparent and display all the information about the addresses & transacted amounts. Even if not directly linked to a physical person or business identity, privacy seekers may often look beyond the protection offered by public addresses randomly generated by a blockchain.

“Elrond is about to take blockchain from the dial-up to the broad-band era, but with a well-designed security-first approach. We feel privacy is equally important and as such are excited to work with Suterusu to enable additional layers of protection.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO

Adding privacy on top of the already secure and highly scalable Elrond blockchain unlocks additional DeFi and special use-cases for the new internet economy.
