With entire economies reimagined through blockchain technologies, the concept of Value becomes more and more crucial. The inherent value of most digital assets has been analysed and disputed fervently by builders, investors, and financiers alike. Clearly, crypto and blockchain protocols are creating tremendous value across the ecosystem, and the growth of the associated market is substantial.

With the rise of decentralized finance, the importance of stability across assets has been enormous. Stable assets have enabled a variety of use-cases and incentive models including yield farming, lending, and more. However, stability across assets like Dai has been recently contested and undermined, and the lack of relative decentralization in other stable assets like USDC and USDT has been problematic.

In our latest essay, we deconstruct the value of money and analyse the value of stability across emerging economies powered by blockchain. I'm excited to share our thoughts about this growing ecosystem, as well as lessons learned from the growth of historically crucial assets like gold and the US Dollar.

Seeking Stability in Decentralized Finance and Digital Assets

Within a very short two-year period, Eden Block has grown into a phenomenal concept. We have been (very) silently building, researching, and crafting methodologies for ourselves as investors, and for the operators we have partnered with.

In this post, we’re happy to share our thoughts on Eden Block's mission, our investment thesis, and our outlook for the future. We couldn't be more proud of the connections we've made along the way. For Eden Block, it's only the beginning.

A story led by powerful Values and remarkable Individuals

“Ultimately, innovation comes when someone sees the patterns that constitute the accepted paradigms of the time. It is not thinking out of the box, but rather seeing the box for what it is and what it is not.”

At Eden Block, much of our research is dedicated towards the trends and components that continue to define industries, as well as human development on a broader scale. In this piece, we break down the true meaning of innovation, while providing a framework to better define this elusive yet colossal definition.

Innovation is at the core of every single movement in human trajectory. And for myself and my team at Eden Block, technological innovation comes hand in hand with enormous leaps within the nascent blockchain industry. Throughout this series on Innovation, we will be able to better define innovation across markets, industries, and different environments. We will also explore Innovation within the context of DLTs, while offering research-backed insights into the present and future of this exciting industry.
