Feels like Uniswap launched a chain 2 years too late -- nobody cares now

Funny because Compound tried launching a chain 2 years too early (remember Gateway?)

Don’t know anything about it — got a link?

I’m excited to announce that we’re leading the $15M seed round in @joinlegend to simplify DeFi & help bring the next 100M users onchain.

While DeFi activity has grown, it has also become more complex, & remains too complicated for many people to use. Legend is pointing the way to a simpler user experience & broader adoption. Their first product is an embedded smart contract wallet that allows users to borrow, lend, or swap across chains without manual wallet connections or the risk of interacting with malicious websites.

Legend’s founders @json, @hayesgm, & @mykel all worked together at DeFi pioneer Compound. Geoffrey was an inventor of the Compound protocol, and a co-founder of Compound Labs. Mykel & Jayson worked together on product and design at Compound Labs before Jayson took the reins as CEO.

With their user-facing product expertise and empathy for DeFi developers, the Legend team is perfect to address the UX challenge that’s still hindering DeFi adoption. We’re delighted to support them.

Seems interesting, team is also really talented!

Mobile wrapper for DeFi is an idea with a lot of bodies in the graveyard from previous cycles. Not sure how much it plays in the wallet category, which is notably crowded / competitive 

Also don’t know what the moat is. Feeling more bullish on social wallets these days

Yeah personally when I first read it I thought so … infinex?

I don’t have a good sense of who is best served by defi as an audience so I’m not one to judge.

Yeah feels infinex but catered to a less degen archetype — Kain would win that hands down

Not sure if that target market exists though (this is why many of the previous iterations died)

Funny how DeFi protocol founding teams are now pivoting to the app layer
