Wed, Oct 2, 2024, 12:00 AM

In this keynote, Antoine begins by introducing their DeFi services company, emphasizing their focus on transparency and their three-and-a-half-year presence in the market since the summer of 2020. Specializing in trustless services within the DeFi space, he highlights their technology that facilitates token creation, vesting, fundraising, and liquidity locking using blockchain capabilities. Token vesting, the main topic of discussion, is presented as a crucial service, particularly post-FTX and Celsius incidents. The process involves the gradual distribution of digital assets over a specific period, commonly utilized for various allocations such as investors, advisors, and marketing. Antoine delves into the landscape of token vesting, citing the example of Apecoin and pointing out the challenges of verifying vesting schedules on-chain. He outlines the different approaches to token vesting, categorizing them into custodial, self-custody ("dude, trust me"), and non-custodial methods. The speaker expresses a strong preference for non-custodial vesting, trusting the blockchain for transparency and security. Expanding the discussion to liquidity vesting, the speaker introduces the concept of "rock pool" or liquidity lockers, drawing parallels with token vesting. They emphasize the benefits of committing liquidity positions in trustless smart contracts for trust, security, and exposure. The speaker provides on-chain statistics, showcasing the increased adoption of their liquidity locking service, especially after FTX and October 2022. The presentation also touches upon integrations with well-known platforms like The Graph, emphasizing a shift toward decentralized APIs. Concluding with notable metrics, the speaker invites engagement with their team, encouraging further exploration of their services and the discussion of token vesting within the DeFi landscape. --------- Speakers: Antoine Chaveron | UNCX Network --------- The European Blockchain Convention is the most influential blockchain event in Europe.
