Featuring Atlendis in July 2022

• Francecrypto.fr (now COMMIT) covered the opening of Wintermute’s pool on Atlendis.
• Atlendis Labs’ Alexis Masseron participated in an AMA alongside Clearpool and Teller Finance on the topic of DeFi credit protocols. The Twitter space organized by Polygon is available in replay here.
• Atlendis Labs’ co-founder Charlotte Eli was part of the Crypto Finance Forum organized by Adan. The news was covered by Christophe Auffray for Coins.fr:

“Charlotte Eli, co-founder of Atlendis Labs, calls nevertheless for the term DeFi not to disappear, since its capital to highlight the difference with CeFi [for Centralized Finance]:

“CeFi platforms allow people to invest in crypto-assets, but manage the users' tokens. In contrast, DeFi allows them to retain possession of their assets and remain in control at all times," she says. [...]

Charlotte Eli also insists on the pedagogy, which must allow DeFi "to benefit everyone". According to her, it is due to a lack of pedagogy in DeFi that CeFi owes its success with consumers over it.”

• Alexis presented “Bringing institutions into the Polygon ecosystem through Atlendis’ capital-efficient DeFi credit protocol” at Polygon Connect, on July 18 in Paris
• Alexis was a guest speaker at EthCC on July 20 in Paris, and talked about the utility of under-collateralized lending for Web3 actors. Replay available here!
