An Overview of Stakeholder Roles in Institutional DeFi This infographic provides a clear breakdown of the various stakeholders involved and their roles within the DeFi ecosystem. Key stakeholders include: - Issuers: They set the stage by providing security tokens and ensuring compliance with credential necessities. - Verifiers: Appointed to validate user credentials, they play a crucial role in maintaining trust and security. - DeFi Users: These individuals leverage DeFi applications, utilizing their verifiable credentials to access services. - DeFi Applications: The heart of the ecosystem, these applications facilitate interactions among users, issuers, and verifiers. - Deployer: Responsible for deploying smart contracts and ensuring the functionality of DeFi applications. The ecosystem has opportunities across various sectors such as Lending, Asset #Tokenization, #Payments, and Compliance & Identity. By understanding these roles, institutions can better navigate the complexities of DeFi, drive innovation, and enhance user trust.

In the world of decentralized platforms, I now get the hang of why there are really bad CEX (Centralized Exchanges) where people suggested me not to work with and the moderately good ones which has higher rankings! Majority of them just wing it in CEX. They are there to get more listings, not so much focused on service or growth! And we all wonder why crypto is a scam?! I am making a list of them as I work with them and my experiences. I will share them in detail for the new projects. Will save you a ton of time and efforts. Ask me if you are launching your decentralized projects. Have quite some hilarious encounters as I am wading through the listings for $KENA. #decentralization #web3 #crypto
