Interview c Andrew COP.
The world will never be the same again. Here I have provided some questions and answers, you can find the main article here,-
https://synecdoche.ru/interview-s-andrew-cop-mir-uzhie-nie-staniet-priezhnim/ — First, tell us a little about yourself to our audience.
— My name is Andrey. together with Dan, we are the founders of the DEFIS project — a new generation of decentralized Finance System.
Dan is an entrepreneur with more than 20 years of experience. Founder of two successful companies in different industries in Russia (Moscow). Investor and blockchain enthusiast. Co-founder of the Grimm and DEFIS projects. CEO DEFIS.
I graduated from MIET (TU) with a bachelor's degree, faculty of MPiTK. Strong skills in the areas of networking, data structures, cryptography and algorithms. C++ development experience (more than 10 years). I have been working directly with blockchain technology since 2015. Co-founder of the Grimm and DEFIS projects. CTO DEFIS.
— What are the main differences between Grimm and other cryptocurrencies that also use the MimbleWimble Protocol?
— The main difference is that Grimm is the only cryptocurrency on mimblewimble that fully meets the true ideas of Satoshi Nakamoto. There was no premine in Grimm, all block rewards are paid to miners, and there are no transaction fees. And of course, the technology of scaling Confidential Assetchains was first implemented on mimblewimble in our project.
— At what point did Defis appear? How does it differ from Grimm?
— At the end of 2019, we observed the cryptocurrency trend of DeFi and saw that the blockchain for the first time received a real application, without which DeFi simply would not exist. We also saw the problems and errors faced by the young DeFi.
The experience of working on the Grimm platform helped us understand how to fix these errors so that DeFi was developed everywhere, was resistant to hacking, and was easy and reliable to use. We proposed a new model of defi based on the mimblewimble Protocol by creating the project DEFIS-Decentralized financial system.
— What are your team's plans for the development of Grimm and Defis?
— We will not go into the roadmap in detail, it is presented on the project's website, but we will highlight the main thing about DEFIS:
First, launch the planned financial products in full (lending, loans, exchanges, co-investment-2021, 2-4 quarter).
Second, organize convenient tools for migrating applications from the Ethereum platform to DEFIS and attract new projects (2022, 1-2 quarters)
— What final goal do you want to achieve as a result? What will you do after you achieve it?
— To create a fully functional competitive product on the Ethereum platform, which, using the technologies developed by us, is already far superior to existing analogues. We have the only system for DeFi protocols that is private by default at the level of cryptographic primitives and solves many problems of existing platforms. It is difficult to say about the future plans after the implementation of this goal. The goal is ambitious. I think when we pass this horizon line, we can look at the next horizon and set new goals for ourselves.
