Have you ever wondered how blockchain companies transform investments from venture capital funds into innovative products? I had the privilege of sharing insights into this process at Crypto Day Experts, alongside Gean Chu from Honey Island and Lizzy Zanlutti from TOKEN ECONOMY_. Together, we explored everything from fundraising to creating innovative blockchain products and their entry into the retail and/or institutional market. Here are some insights from our talk: Fundraising for Blockchain Business Development: - Venture capital funds and accelerators through Equity - Grants and Hackathons (Equity free) Creating Products in Blockchain: - The importance of continuous research and development in creating innovative products. - The need for adaptability and agility to keep up with market changes. - Creation of technology-focused products by the grassroots web3 community and degens, who are at the forefront of blockchain technology, and products focused on mass adoption of solutions created and made available to retail and institutional markets. Role of the Community: - Collaboration with the community as a driver of governance innovation and agility in creation due to open-source codes. - The importance of Public Good initiatives for a more collaborative, inclusive, and innovative ecosystem. Participating in this panel was extremely rewarding. Discussing the future of technology, both nationally (Brazil) and internationally, alongside so many ecosystem builders, is inspiring. We are heading towards having Brazilian technology spread worldwide, changing the lives of many for the better. This panel marks my beginning on the Liqi Digital Assets team. Together, we are shaping the future of the crypto market, and I'm excited to be part of this movement.  #CryptoDayExperts #Blockchain #Innovation #BrazilianTechnology

From Hackathon Hustle to DeFi Domination: The Story of 1inch In 2019, two brilliant minds, @SergejKunz and @AntonBukov, crossed paths at an Ethereum hackathon. What happened next? Pure magic. With the wild world of decentralized exchanges being fragmented and trades often inefficient, they decided to take action. They didn’t wait for someone else to fix the problem—they created the solution themselves. Enter 1inch: a powerful platform that optimizes trades by pulling liquidity from multiple sources, helping users get the best deals every time. But they didn’t stop there. Fast forward to today, and 1inch has grown into a full-blown DeFi ecosystem, with the launch of the 1INCH token and a DAO that puts power into the hands of its community. It’s a lesson in entrepreneurship—every big thing starts with a team, a brilliant idea, and the guts to make it happen. Hats off to the @1inch team for showing how it’s done! 🚀 #DreamBig #DeFi #CryptoRevolution #Blockchain #Innovation #StartupLife #Teamwork #Entrepreneurship #DisruptTheNorm #Leadership #Fintech #Web3
