Build It Yourself: Delphi Digital Launches Delphi Labs for Crypto Development

Why Build It Yourself?

In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency, waiting for others to innovate can feel like watching paint dry. That’s why Delphi Digital has taken the initiative to kick their creativity into overdrive with the launch of Delphi Labs. This new department aims to roll up its sleeves and build the decentralized future instead of waiting for investment returns to trickle down from other projects.

From Research to Labs

The expansion of Delphi’s developmental team happens at a time when the need for skilled developers and smart contract engineers has reached a critical mass. As Delphi Digital’s analyst José Macedo highlights, the Labs team, currently consisting of nine employees, wants to address the talent shortfall in the crypto space. They previously assisted with tokenomics design projects, and now, they’re tackling the hefty task of revamping Aave’s $1.4 billion Safety Module!

Learning by Doing

Macedo points out that their motivation for forming Delphi Labs came from firsthand experience observing how much work is left undone in top-notch projects. The team realized that the intellectual property and insights they’ve gained can be applied across various projects and protocols. It’s as if they’ve decided to turn their notes into a master class of cryptocurrency development!

Beyond Tokenomics

The present focus of Delphi Labs might be on tokenomics and governance proposals, but that’s not the end game. Over the next two years, Delphi Labs plans to incubate younger projects and perhaps even launch new protocols branded under the Delphi name. Yes, you heard that right! They’re not just here to play; they’re looking to revolutionize the industry.

Big Money, Bigger Impact

Interestingly, Delphi is threading a needle that many venture capitalists are attempting to balance: how to engage effectively with decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). Crypto communities often debate whether wealthy investors should receive advantages over grassroots participants. However, as Uniswap founder Hayden Adams articulated, it can be a mutually beneficial arrangement when done right.

The Future Looks Collaborative

Delphi envisions a synergistic future with projects they invest in. They aim to establish long-term partnerships with projects whose tokens they plan to hold for the long haul. It seems like they’re adopting a “we win together” motto — because when their investments flourish, everyone benefits. Who knew cryptocurrency could foster such heartfelt collaborations?
