A few weeks ago, in Cannes, we hosted two full days of DeFi roundtable sessions with 7️⃣0️⃣➕ teams! To chat about their plans, pain points, industry problems, and more. Below is a much-awaited summary of what we discussed. Grab a cup, it's a long read 🍵

1. Standards for vaults and tokenized assets
2. Aggregating risk scoring dashboards
3. Access control layer: reducing admin key issues
4. Security in the age of AI

6. TradFi and DeFi interplay
7. UX and account abstraction
8. Regulation and lobbying
