Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Peer-to-peer transfer, a cornerstone of the decentralised finance model, allows individual parties to transfer value without the need for a trusted third party – but with multiple platforms making up the DeFi market, it is essential that p2p is facilitated cross-platform and at scale. Clearmatics builds decentralised network platforms to facilitate peer-to-peer exchange between members of the network, delivering this vital infrastructure for market participants.
Clearmatics was founded in 2015, to contribute to building the decentralised finance ecosystem. Its “decentralised automation” combines cryptography, consensus protocols and economic mechanism design, creating networks that can interact with one another to remove market friction and inefficiencies, with hopes this will fuel quicker adoption of next-gen markets by more users.
The company has invested in expanding operations and further developing its products. It works closely with the Ethereum Foundation, and is an active member of the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance (EEA).
