Partnership with Aave Marks Key Milestone for World Liberty Financial
First announced by Eric Trump in August, the Ethereum blockchain-based DeFi project has received broad attention within the crypto world. Donald Trump has publicly come forward with support for the project as its “Chief Crypto Advocate.” His sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr. are “Web3 Ambassadors” with his youngest son, Barron Trump, a “DeFi Visionary.”
World Liberty Financial was founded by Zachary Folkman and Chase Herro, two men who were previously behind the DeFi platform Dough Finance. The duo launched a safe DeFi ecosystem while remembering that the past platform these two men worked on was exploited in July for $2 million.
World Liberty Financial has, for one big first push, put forward a proposal to integrate the Aave V3 lending protocol in exchange for governance rights and 7% of its native tokens, called WIFI. The lending pool would use USDC, USDT, ETH, and WBTC- all widely traded cryptocurrencies- as collateral.
