Bringing DeFi experience to Cardano (ADA)
Despite Cardano (ADA) activated smart contracts functionality only one month ago, many early-stage projects are interested in building on top of its mechanisms.
As covered by U.Today previously, ADALend protocol secured $540,000 in private tokensale. 1.8 million ADAL assets were sold to ‘early birds’.
According to ADALend’s team statement, private sale ended with 5x oversubscription. This metric reflects the interest in Cardano-builded DeFi among retail and corporate investors.
ADALend technology progress is guided by top-tier fintech developers Philippe Dee and Sarawut Sanit. Their previous experience was related to flagship cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), Solana (SOL) and Cosmos (ATOM).
Starting from Sept.13, 2021, Cardano (ADA) blockchain supports smart contracts. As such, it is suitable for dApps and DeFis on-boarding.
