Sberbank’s Defi Platform to Enable Large-Scale Commercial Operations
Vastavalt a aruanne published by the news outlet Interfax, state-owned financial services company Sberbank, based in Moscow, plans to launch a decentralized finance (defi) rakendus. The platform is currently undergoing closed beta testing, according to Konstantin Klimenko, Sberbank’s blockchain laboratory product director.
“We have set ourselves a big goal — to make the Russian defi ecosystem number one,” Klimenko said. “Our network is currently working in closed beta testing format … But starting March 1st, we will move to the next phase and it will no longer be beta testing, but open testing,” Sberbank’s blockchain laboratory executive added.
The platform, which will be based on Ethereum, will work with the Web3 wallet Metamask. Sberbank’s team aims to make it publicly available by the end of April and hopes it will enable large-scale commercial defi operations. Juunis 2022, the Russian banking and financial services giant conducted the first digital asset transfer on its platform, which was heaks kiidetud by the Bank of Russia. Septembris, Sberbank teatas that its platform will also allow non-fungible token (NFT) vermimine.
Besides the Bank of Russia, Sberbank is Russia’s largest financial institution with $559 billion in assets under management (AUM) as of 2021. The bank is also the leader in the card payments industry in the Russian Federation, commanding more than 61% of the market. Jaanuaris 2022, the Russian banking firm launched Russia’s first blockchain exchange-traded fund (ETF). Sberbank, its executive members, and its subsidiaries have been fans of blockchain technology since 2015.
