Alexander Sudeykin, Co-Founder of EVAA Protocol, joined CryptoSlate’s Editor-in-Chief Liam “Akiba” Wright and CEO Nate Whitehill in a recent SlateCast episode. The discussion centered around EVAA Protocol, its integration with the Telegram ecosystem, and the transformative potential of the TON blockchain in decentralized finance (DeFi). EVAA stands out as a decentralized lending platform, leveraging Telegram to simplify user engagement with DeFi tools.Revolutionizing DeFi Through Telegram IntegrationSudeykin highlighted EVAA Protocol’s unique positioning as a bridge between the TON blockchain and Telegram users. By creating a Telegram mini-app, EVAA allows users to access its lending and borrowing features directly from the messaging platform.“Telegram provides a seamless interface,” Sudeykin explained. “Users don’t need external wallets or complicated setups to start using the lending protocol. With Telegram wallets, we’ve significantly reduced the steps required to engage with DeFi.”The mini-app incorporates features like real-time notifications, ensuring users are alerted about critical activities, such as liquidations, making DeFi more user-friendly for newcomers.DeFi Growth on the TON BlockchainWhen asked about the TON ecosystem, Sudeykin detailed its evolution and potential for growth.“The TON blockchain is still in its early stages, with only about 20 protocols currently active. Compare that to hundreds on Solana, and you realize the opportunity for expansion,” he noted.He emphasized that utility projects, particularly in DeFi, will drive the next wave of growth on TON. EVAA aims to lead this transformation by offering robust tools for developers and users alike, fostering a thriving DeFi ecosystem.Innovative Tokenomics and GovernanceAlthough EVAA’s native token has yet to launch, Sudeykin shared insights into its planned utilities.“The EVAA token will serve as the governance backbone of our DAO, enabling token holders to vote on key decisions,” he said.In ad
