## Description

While DeFi has thrived in trading and farming, the absence of a strong foundation akin to traditional finance hinders its potential. The TradFi world would collapse if US Treasury markets disappeared tomorrow, yet that is where DeFi finds itself today. Scalable Fixed-Income markets offer opportunities to develop Forward Markets, thereby enhancing Options and Derivatives, creating Structured Products and unlocking a whole new world of real-life opportunities: present & future payments, cheap remittances to onboard new users, Real-World Asset tokenization & second order use-cases, Mortgages as well as healthy borrowing & lending solutions for the non-crypto native masses.
Recognizing this gap, Term Structure is on a mission to contribute to the development of yield curves within DeFi. As a speaker we are eager to leverage the platform to raise awareness and foster collaboration within the community, propelling DeFi forward.
