Sberbank’s Defi Platform to Enable Large-Scale Commercial Operations
Selon un rapport published by the news outlet Interfax, state-owned financial services company Sberbank, based in Moscow, plans to launch a decentralized finance (défi) application. 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.
La plateforme, 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.
