DeFi protocols unite to promote permissionless Web3 experiences

cointelegraph.com:

The damages caused by the fall of major crypto ecosystems in the last year are on a path of steady recovery as good actors take proactive measures to rebuild trust among investors. Major players from the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem came together to showcase the incentive behind operating trustless, interoperable and permissionless platforms.

For 24-hrs from Feb.6 to 7, over 30 DeFi protocols joined in an initiative to “permissionlessly” share tweets from other protocols — thus highlighting the permissionless and interoperable nature of Web3. Projects participating in this campaign include Yearn, MakerDAO, SushiSwap and Aave, among others.

DeFi has amassed mainstream acceptance with significant institutions making their entrance into the space, it still has a shaky reputation due to its many exploits.

Mamun Rashid, the chief marketing officer at MakerDAO, said that in order to realize the “full potential” of DeFi there needs to be a collaboration between the ideas and expertise that exist in the space.

The projects collaborating in the campaign defined the “spirit” of DeFi as a more collaborative ecosystem, rather than a competitive one.

Jared Grey, the CEO of SushiSwap said DeFi is being built to challenge the current status quo of known financial frameworks, which historically create barriers and reduce economic freedom.

Grey said the responsibility to portray the true message of DeFi comes first from within the space. Therefore, the initiative and solidarity of more than 30 builders within the space comes at a critical time.
