Stellar Global Radio with Sam: Exploring the Stellar Blockchain and BeyondShow Notes
Originating in 2018 in a cramped university apartment, Script3 sought to explore the possibilities of blockchain technology. Our team quickly focused on decentralized finance (before it had the catchy buzzword nickname DeFi). We gravitated toward it but also recognized its shortcomings: it was expensive and slow. Thus, it failed to realize its potential of providing equitable access to financial infrastructure. “The promise of DeFi is the promise of financial inclusion because the current financial ecosystem fails to serve much of the world.” This quote from our co-founder, Markus Paulson-Luna embodies what we believe at Script3. DeFi is a powerful tool for the masses if utilized correctly and ethically. We're trying to help the world's people, using the best technology available to the world's people. YieldBlox is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol for lending and FX forwards built on Stellar using Stellar Turrets. The protocol has functions for lending, borrowing, margin accounts, FX forwards, and staking. Users carry out all protocol functions using YieldBlox's smart contracts.
