Ryan: Elevating DeFi and on-chain trading experiences to the next level
At the event, Ryan spoke about MYX Finance, explaining how it emerged during a phase of on-chain growth that began in DeFi Summer, driven by the rise of on-chain users and assets. He emphasized that MYX is built for a future where on-chain needs continue their exponential growth, and trading inevitably shifts to on-chain platforms.
Ryan highlighted that MYX is designed to scale and cater to DeFi users, addressing the capital efficiency challenges faced by pool-model perpetual DEXs. Many of these DEXs are transitioning to orderbook models to lower fees and speed up transactions, but in doing so, they sacrifice key benefits like composability, transparency, and accessibility. In contrast, MYX tackles these challenges with its Matching Pool Model (MPM), providing CEX-level liquidity, fees, and no slippage in a fully decentralized system. MYX ensures accessibility and affordability without the need for asset deposits or exposing users to risks such as manipulation or fraud.
Ryan concluded by expressing MYX’s commitment to growing with the community, aiming to elevate DeFi and on-chain trading experiences to the next level.
The evening concluded with a vibrant networking session, where attendees connected over cocktails and canapés, exchanging ideas and forging new relationships. The event was a resounding success, blending insightful thought leadership with opportunities for meaningful collaboration.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the Quant CIO Executive Night. We’re genuinely excited by the enthusiastic feedback and the valuable connections that were made throughout the evening. Your participation and engagement were key to making this event a memorable and impactful experience.
As MYX Finance leads the way in decentralized finance innovation, we’re excited to build on the momentum from the Quant CIO Executive Night. We’re committed to enhancing our platform and refining the user trading experience based on the valuable insights shared at the event. Stay tuned as we roll out new features and improvements designed to push the boundaries of DeFi and deliver even greater value to our users.
