Explore the intricate world of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) at TOKEN2049 London 2022 with Kiril, the DeFi Strategist at Nexo. In his talk, "Achieving DeFi Edge as an Institution," Kiril delves into the challenges and strategies for scaling DeFi teams within large organizations. Drawing from his vast experience at one of Europe's largest digital asset institutions, he provides a comprehensive blueprint for institutions to effectively tap into the rapidly evolving DeFi landscape.
Kiril introduces the concept of Conway's Law to emphasize the importance of internal communication and flexible teams in adapting to the fast-paced crypto environment. He highlights the critical nature of having diverse, entrepreneurial teams that balance analytical rigor with the ability to walk away from risky, short-term gains. Essential to this process are robust infrastructure and risk management strategies that ensure resilience and adaptability in a volatile market.
Addressing real-world examples, such as the implications of mismanaged tokens and the necessity of vigilant treasury management, Kiril underscores the importance of making informed, strategic decisions that consider both short-term dynamics and long-term sustainability in DeFi ventures.
Kiril urges businesses to start small, gaining necessary exposure, and gradually build the required infrastructure before scaling up operations. Despite the complexity and inherent risks, DeFi holds immense potential, a sentiment Kiril reinforces by illustrating DeFi’s resilient performance amid market volatility.
