Singapore 🇸🇬 was buzzing at #Token2049, and our side event Do MORE With Less brought the house together. From cross-chain UX to real-world adoption, the conversations showed how crypto can go further by staying simple. 🧵 Here’s a recap:

2/ Altan @mraltantutar, CEO of MoreMarkets: “We just hit $25M TVL today.” By the time of writing this thread, that number has already climbed to $26.7M.

3/ Luke Youngblood (@LukeYoungblood), founder of @MoonwellDeFi and creator of Coinbase staking: “Lending is the most important use case of DeFi!”

4/ George Beall (@GeorgePBeall), Director of DeFi at @NEARFoundation, on super-apps: “It’s going to be interesting to see how these products tackle sustainable user onboarding and execution.”

5/ Girish Budhrani (@GirishBudhrani_), Head of BD at @clearpoolfin: “We’re in development for yield-bearing assets. Hopefully this will be a great use case for tokenization of assets.”

6/ Hugo Philion (@HugoPhilion), cofounder of @FlareNetworks: “We’ve built out a fully fledged DeFi ecosystem.” “Firelight is a liquid staking protocol for XRP, designed to replace staking-level risk.”

7/ Calvin Shen, CCO of @Hex_Trust: “When you think of compliance and safety, you think of Hex Trust.”

8/ Georgios Vlachos (@yorgosv_), cofounder of @axelar: “The path is straightforward. It’s about building trust and awareness around the XRP ecosystem.” “It’s very hard to generate reasonable yields in a 100% decentralized way. Education about risks is key.”

9/ Hugo Philion (@HugoPhilion), @FlareNetworks: “XRP is extremely widely distributed, and its liquidity is spectacular on centralized exchanges.”

10/ Evgeny Yurtaev (@evgeth_), cofounder of @zerion: “We’ve had the issue of fragmentation for a long time. That’s what Zerion is solving.” “The average person won’t understand decentralization; intents are how we make them care.”

11/ Damian (@0xDamian0x), @lifiprotocol: “It’s inevitable. Everything is converging on blockchain. No waiting hours for settlement, no insane fees. You make every decision yourself: the real empowering movement behind blockchains."

12/ Abdul (@fundbrah), investor at @Decasonic: “Institutions aren’t using agents widely yet, but they’re already engaging with agents for yield.” Iason Rovis (@IasonRovis), @valoryag: “It’s important for the agent to have autonomy in order to work for users.”

That’s a wrap 🎬 Huge thanks to all our speakers, partners & everyone who joined Do MORE With Less in Singapore. From cross-chain UX to real-world adoption, tokenisation and AI x blockchain, it’s clear we’re moving from the early days into the next phase of global scale.
