MELD Labs and Vent Finance are proud to announce our strategic partnership to work towards and be leading contributors in creating a DeFi ecosystem on the Cardano blockchain. Working together we will be building tools and products that support the DeFi protocols on the Cardano ecosystem while assisting in bringing new products/concepts to market. As part of the partnership, we will be sharing our know-how to build our respective businesses and the community at large.

VENT, the Community Launchpad Ecosystem, is empowering startups and investors with the first full-stack Cardano-Polygon platform that enables sustainable growth. We work to make decentralized funding simple and accessible as we believe in financial inclusion and an economy where innovation can benefit society as a whole.

Combining simplicity, security, and transparency, we are determined to reset the world’s expectations of what a decentralized launchpad is and help evolve the reputation and maturity of the DeFi space and crypto ecosystem.

MELD — VENT

Both MELD and VENT are focused on the development of DeFi technologies in this space and we offer each other complementary roles to achieve our goals. VENT comes with a deep and diverse domain of knowledge in technology, investing, and product development which is complementary to MELDs financial, economic, and security know-how.

Here’s what Ken, Co-founder, and Chairman at MELD, had to say about the partnership:

“I think VENT is a natural partner with MELD because they come with so much experience and maturity in the business and investor space. They have a knack for building relationships with the biggest most impactful players in the space, not only within Cardano but on Ethereum as well. We are looking forward to working with Vent Finance and building exciting new products and services in the coming years.”

Tigran Ghazaryan, Chief Strategy Officer at VENT, had to say about the partnership:

“We are excited to have found a partner in the Cardano space that shares a similar vision to make DeFi accessible to mainstream uses. MELD’s ambition, dedication towards decentralization, and security are some of the many aspects that make them stand out as a strong ally within the ecosystem. We hope to continue our joint efforts to build innovative products that generate value for the community.”

Partnering with a company that offers token launch solutions through their Launchpad, VentUp is very exciting as we are performing our own, ISPO. Gaining new insights into their approach, including means of outreach, and what’s currently needed within the Cardano Ecosystem has already been immensely valuable as we have been able to define the first service we will be building with each other.

We are looking forward to sharing the first BIG service we are working on with VENT in the coming weeks! Stay tuned…

Stay Tuned — MELD

We think it’s essential for everyone to gain control of their financial lives and have equal access to financial instruments used by professionals, not just centralized institutions, governments, or the 1%. We want to provide financial freedom and control to the masses, including the unbanked.

We have a long-term goal to enable the $15 trillion that is currently locked out of the global economy, including 2 billion individuals worldwide that are either underbanked or have no access to banking services whatsoever, to access these tools. These are the people that are paying the highest fees, getting the worst customer service, and they are the ones that are having the most problems.

Our vision is to create an ecosystem that empowers individuals to regain financial control by providing them with the tools and services they need to manage their money on their terms. Whether that be creating a collateralized debt position (CDP) with cryptocurrency, earning an interest return for lending fiat to borrowers, or even participating in reward incentive programs, we strive to provide our users with the functions they need to manage their own financial lives.
