Dharma V2

Dharma relaunched as the easiest way to save money from anywhere in the world. Their new product is an easy to use interface, without the complexity of private keys, that provides access to stablecoin interest rates in Compound’s markets.

“After a thorough investigation, we decided that the best way to make this vision a reality is to leverage the Compound Protocol as a foundational layer in our technical stack. Through a combination of smart contracts layered on top of Compound and application-layer infrastructure for delivering a web2-caliber product experience, we decided the fastest way for us to bring the best product to market was to bootstrap on top of liquid, battle-tested infrastructure. We’re thrilled to collaborate with our friends at Compound in order to build the product we earnestly believe will bring DeFi services to the mainstream.”
