In this keynote, Demetrios Skalkotos, CEO of expand.network, introduces a solution to seamlessly connect with the complex and ever-changing landscape of decentralized finance (DeFi). Acknowledging the challenges and intricacies of individual integration into various DeFi components, Demetrios emphasizes the need for trusted outsourced service providers. The DeFi ecosystem comprises diverse elements such as liquidity-focused DEXs, yield aggregators, oracles, bridges, DEX aggregators, synthetics, lending and borrowing protocols, liquid staking, and NFT data. Demetrios also underscores the significant cost and complexity involved in internal development and proposes a singular focus on outsourced service providers to simplify integrations, provide cost-effective solutions, and expedite market entry. Expand.network's role is defined as creating a single abstracted middleware connectivity layer, integrating with various smart contracts, including DEXs, DEX aggregators, bridges, and yield protocols. The goal is to offer seamless execution for swaps, connectivity for lending protocols, access to oracles for optimal pricing, and comprehensive data for trade reconciliation, compliance, and tax purposes. Demetrios highlights the platform's integration with 15 different chains, accommodating both EVM and non-EVM chains, and plans to expand support for additional protocols and layers, ensuring a unified and streamlined experience for anyone engaging with DeFi. The presentation showcases the platform's commitment to simplifying the DeFi landscape for users, enabling them to focus on their specific functionalities without being burdened by the complexities of integration. --------- Speakers: Demetrios Skalkotos | expand.network --------- The European Blockchain Convention is the most influential blockchain event in Europe.
