Financial Primitive Innovation

Definition

Financial primitive innovation involves the creation of fundamental, modular building blocks for financial services, particularly within decentralized finance on blockchain networks. These primitives are basic, composable components like lending protocols, decentralized exchanges, stablecoins, or synthetic assets, which can be combined to construct more complex financial products. Such innovation aims to disaggregate traditional financial services into their core functions, making them more accessible and programmable. It drives the evolution of decentralized financial systems.
