These improvements are poised to benefit other Layer 2 rollup solutions, further solidifying Yala’s position as a versatile and robust infrastructure for DeFi applications. Additionally, Yala’s lending protocol will benefit from Nubit’s fast finality, streamlining the DeFi experience for users.

With Nubit’s integration, Yala is on course to offer an infrastructure that is not only more secure and scalable but also capable of supporting a wide array of applications and services. Together, Yala and Nubit wil build a more accessible, transparent and innovative Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem.
