Egorov built something amazing. Let's be clear. Curve is a cornerstone of DeFi, a testament to the power of mathematical modeling applied to finance. He’s a genuine science-physics Olympian who swapped blackboards for blockchains. As with any timely technology, one brilliant person or team couldn’t possibly be expected to actually...
Michael Egorov, the founder of Curve Finance, is a luminary in the decentralized finance (DeFi) world. It is not this success alone that makes him famous, but his peculiar biography. Unlike many of his crypto compatriots, Egorov grounds his ambitions in a solidly scientific pedigree, having studied quantum physics. This...
Michael Egorov. The name already evokes the wonderful dream of rug pulls created by a quantum physicist moonlighting as a DeFi architect, but it gets even better. Yet the legacy of Egorov and Curve Finance is much more complicated than a tale of success turned tragic. Was his heavy hand...
These Wild West days of crypto are (thankfully) starting to recede. Remember 2021? Every celebrity with a pulse was shilling some newly minted coin. The result?

Take the example of Sarah, a single mother with two jobs. She covers about her dreams to leave the rat race behind and give her children the life that she knows they deserve. Crypto, with its glamorous stories of overnight millionaires, appears to the world as a lottery ticket away...
A demographic and geopolitical seismic shift is taking place on the European Web3 landscape. Yet recent data reveals a shocking 82% decrease in media coverage. Today, many people are asking whether the new Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation is to blame. Though MiCA is certainly a part, algorithmic changes and...

In rapidly developing industries such as Web3, regulation is frequently hailed as necessary to protect consumers and strengthen the market’s foundation. The European experience says otherwise.
