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

And then the beautiful thing about permissionless and a free market, curators and other people step in and say, hey, I can provide some yield for this.

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

I can provide yield for that.

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

And that's where like we think the tougher part of Blend is to solve is how do we drive local adoption to these local stable coins?

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

I think I would say Morpho.

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

I'm a big fan of the Morpho team.

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

They've done a really good job.

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

They've really like zoned in to like their mission.

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

They've, they've onboarded institutional curators.

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

They've been net positive for DeFi in general.

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

We've had a few scares, but you don't have some grow, you don't really get as big as Morpho without some growing pains.

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

Jamie, do you have another one that maybe you prefer?

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

That's always a good question when you're trying to build brand because that goes into the trust part of it.

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

Yeah.

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

I mean, you know, we had a really long question.

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

We had this really soul searching issue like a couple of weeks ago, which is like, how well do we lean into this idea of like where the user exists right now and what do they trust right now?

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

And that's where we...

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

where we decided that we're connecting to systems that they already trust so they can have this seamless onboarding.

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

So the idea of you coming into an app like Revolut that you already trust to hold your money, but then Blend gives you a seamless experience that you can take your Revolut account and connect it to Blend and slowly building trust in that seamless way without having barriers is one way we're thinking about it, right?

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

We talk to like, we talk, we use your tests like crazy.

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

And all the users have said, like, we want existing apps, like the Pixar, all these other types of infrastructure that already exist instead of connecting their traditional bank accounts.
