Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

In the middle class period, that really is something that we're aiming for.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

Yeah, I mean, I was just I was really just wanting to drill into that.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

Like today, there's no unified interface for actually getting access and connecting people's real life funds to their real life DeFi.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

And what you wind up getting is this system where you're connecting A to B on a different protocol on a different chain.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

And you have users trying to like click buttons to figure that out.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

And

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

If you can consider every chain, every protocol to just be another subset of a call that you can make through an API even, because Blend is intent-based.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

And what that means is we can support that.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

And you can think of like all of the headaches of DeFi.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

There just is no unified solution to connect users, like non-crypto users, crypto users who might be curious to these really powerful yield sources.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

So in a lot of ways, we've created that financial glue on the programmable money.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

And I just think that is something that the market and just people in general have sorely needed.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

Yeah, agreed.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

Yeah, the US dollarization of economies at scale is definitely something that I think has inertia now.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

But you're totally right.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

At the end of the day, there's economics, but there's also politics.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

And people don't want to see their economies effectively become overwritten by different currencies and markets that don't necessarily have that currency at heart, that economy at the core of what their decisions are.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

And so the reason why I think this concept is so powerful is many had mentioned and going back to the very beginning, many had mentioned this idea of these synthetic hedges.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

And what that really is doing is it's kind of stemming the tide between where we are and where we want to be.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

If we want to be in a world with denominated and global stablecoins, and we currently live in a world with USD, how do we kind of get there?
