Giddy’s smart wallet will boost interoperability within the DeFi ecosystem

Key takeaways

• The DeFi ecosystem has suffered huge losses over the past two years due to the ongoing bear market.
• Giddy’s DeFi smart wallet seeks to solve the problems of interoperability and ease of use within the DeFi ecosystem.
• Eric Parker, the CEO of Giddy, believes that the DeFi ecosystem will ultimately become Finance 2.0

Binance Smart Chain (BNB) and Ethereum were some of the leading blockchains for DeFi projects. Despite the major growth recorded by the DeFi ecosystem in recent years, one of the major issues that remain is interoperability. Not many projects are working on solving interoperability within the DeFi ecosystem, a solution that would make it easier to move tokens between various blockchains.

Giddy, a provider of a self-custody smart wallet, is making a mark in this area. The company’s DreFi smart wallet integrates with some of the best projects in DeFi and is set to increase interoperability and ease of use even more.
