What is Terra? Terra is what you would call an algorithmic stable coin. So what a stable coin is, is different from different types of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, where the value of the coin or the price of the coin fluctuates in response to demand, a stable coin retains its value to $1, or to whatever other fiat currency lead might be pegged to, There's a couple of differences that para has versus other stable coins, such as tether USDC, DAI and some of the components are is the number one it's algorithmic. So for stable coins like tether, you generally keep $1, or you promise to keep $1 in the bank account for every stable coin that's issued. So the presumption is that you should be able to redeem this against the dollar or to mint an additional unit of the stable coin against the dollar, by using Fiat reserve operations. Or for makerDAO, for instance, like you keep up, you know, $1.50 worth of Ethereum in a smart contract to guarantee the value of, you know, the standard plan. What is Mirror Protocol? A recent protocol that we launched is called Mirror. So the mirror is a protocol whereby you can make synthetic tokens that track the price of any asset class in the world. So for example, you can mint a token that follows the price of, let's say, a bar of gold, or it could be some sort of ETF. But initially, we specifically focused on issuing synthetics for 13 different US equities. And the reason for that is because in most places across the world, outside of Western Europe and North America, it's actually very difficult, or in some cases, prohibitively expensive to be able to get price exposure to US equities as an asset class. So, you know, today, I think the response to the Mirror protocol has been pretty explosive. So throughout December, there was about $110 million in equity locked in various DEXes like uniswap. And, and paraswap in about $90 million locked up to create cdp's to mint various types of synthetics. So combined, we're looking at about around $200 million, locked up in TVL, within the space of, let's say, six weeks.

What problem is solved by SOLV Protocol? (1:24) SOLV is Opensea equivalent, but for financial, NFT's (2:58) So, financial NFT is just, you know, the NFT expression of that financial contract. So, you see that we actually using NFT technology to represent the complex conditions and intelligence of a financial contract. (3:49) So, we are actually upgrading smart contracts by tokenizing it tokenizing them, we tokenize smart contracts so that it can be visualized, it can be owned by somebody, it can be transferable, it can be, you know, composable and divisible. So, I think we are doing something very, very significant, very, I should say, exciting in this industry. - Yan Meng, co-founder of SOLV Protocol

NEAR: A Mass Adoption Platform for Blockchain Our approach in general is about kind of making a infrastructure and a platform, that mass adoption applications can actually then be built on. Right. And so kind of our origin stories, you know, I was actually trying to build something on Ethereum. And realizing that like, it's not possible even that at like back, then it's way lower prices and way lower kind of demand that was back then. And really trying to focus on how do we build kind of a developer platforms that developers are excited, you know, to build on kind of innovative solutions, how to build a platform infrastructure, a blockchain, that normal users, right, people who do not know what private keys are, can kind of just pick it up and use, right. And obviously, kind of the scalability issue, this thing that everybody's talking about, like that's just a part of the story, because like, developers should not worry about that, you know, the capacity of their network will run out after some application hits mainstream. So so really kind of how do we solve this problems and provide something that is like friendly, like, and actually introduces, like this concepts that we all believe in to mass adoption in a way that really provides a better product to really kind of product focus, you know, vision of the future of like that three becoming kind of dominant platform, but through better products, not just philosophy. Decentralized technologies will be powering kind of future of software. And one of the core reasons why I believe in that is because by giving control back to the user, by giving control back to the kind of business or whoever generates and controls original kind of data and action, you actually allowing all applications all things to cooperate, quick to interact, right. And the decentralization is your guarantees that all those things will actually work together, right, the open source, open state, all those things that we kind of like to say, like those are guarantees of really things working for the user. And so this is just a better way to build software, this is a better way to build applications.
