DeFi Alliance Cohort #2: What’s next?

Accelerating DeFi
This is a new initiative from the Chicago DeFi Alliance, sitting between the product ideation phase and product launch. Decentralized Finance is growing rapidly with over $2.5B TLV, but we still have a lot of work to do before trading firms globally are providing trading volume + liquidity.

That is why we are focusing on two areas for the next year:

  • Help cutting edge startups connect + learn from liquidity providers: Building in DeFi is a journey, between receiving product feedback, building a regulatory strategy, and attracting liquidity + users. Our program will help startups build liquidity strategies along with demo days with market makers.
  • Help trading firms fast track into DeFi:
    We offer educational programs to help onboard trading firms + market makers into DeFi. For those looking to onboard please apply here

Apply Now for Cohort #2!

Thanks to our supporting trading firms
