We can say that DeFi was a real revelation for the one who co-founded Atlendis Labs in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. But what is Atlendis Labs? It is a new decentralized protocol allowing access to loans of a whole new kind. “As opposed to traditional finance, which is limited to a small circle and can sometimes seem opaque, DeFi is accessible to everyone and is completely transparent. Users are in control of their funds at all times,” explains the entrepreneur.
