1inch Co-Founder’s Interview Highlights
During the interview, Sergej Kunz discussed people’s interest in the web3 space. As he says, people usually put their money in a place where they have less chance of losing it and earn passively with their funds. Meanwhile, Kunz also explained the limitations of any average investor.
Kunz said, “Right now, you are very limited as a normal person. You are very limited in products where you can invest. […] Just for example, for my daughter, I was asking the local bank in Germany to provide some products, but they couldn’t even offer bonds.”
The co-founder also showed some frustration about the potential earning percentages for bonds. He said, “Right now, you get four to five percent for United States bonds, and they couldn’t even offer this.”
Kunz then discussed how people currently perceive the crypto space and what mass adoption seems like from his perspective. As he said, people only think of crypto as a place to trade digital assets, but this industry is quite vast to explore more things.
He explained, “We have a decentralized computer around the globe where you can deploy applications that can be used by everyone and right now in a permissionless manner.”
Moreover, he also explained what his team thinks about mass adoption. He said people’s understanding and education would be the key to achieving this. “As soon as we have people who understand the noncustodial way, this easy approach to interact with a lot of different services and also this easy way to pay for a coffee by scanning your QR code and paying with an Ethereum transaction. Then, we achieved mass adoption from our point of view,” he added.
In the end notes of the interview, Kunz advised newcomers in the DeFi space. He says, “Everyone new in this space, don’t trust anyone. If someone tries to sell you anything, don’t trust, verify.”
