DeFi Saver’s Vukovic on Building with Transparency, User Input
The post DeFi Saver’s Vukovic on Building with Transparency, User Input appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The decentralized finance space is no longer in its experimental infancy.

Today, teams are building highly focused tools for specific use cases. “Everyone’s building very specialized products now. Whether it’s niche infrastructure for governance incentives or targeted tooling, it shows how far the space has come,” he said. As for what DeFi could do without, Vukovic offered a measured response. “It’s a tricky question because people are quick to react. But I still think it’s a good time to experiment. If you have an idea, go for it and see if it sticks.” Community and UX Come First For Vukovic, community is not just a nice-to-have; it’s core infrastructure. “We’re really lucky to have a community that’s vocal, engaged, and passionate about the tools they use,” he said. “They don’t just use…
