The Big Whale: At 25, you have the opportunity to do a lot of things, and you've chosen to work in the crypto ecosystem, and more specifically in decentralised finance. Why such a choice?
Pablo Veyrat* : I discovered decentralised finance at the end of my studies. I was at Polytechnique, and that's where I had my first course on cryptocurrencies, then I had a second one when I was at Stanford in the United States. I was immediately fascinated by the subject.
Given my engineering training, it's clear that I could have gone to work in the ecological transition, which is in fact the path that most people my age are taking, but I saw in DeFi the opportunity to build a fairer and more efficient financial world. The traditional system doesn't work well, there are too many middlemen who are expensive and work in an opaque way...
When I understood how DeFi worked, and what transparency allowed, I said to myself that we could create some really interesting things.
