With a big premise of a liberal system open to all, the new generations are more allured to the idea of finance without borders. In reality, Gen Z has demonstrated active involvement in the life of DeFi and blockchain from its very first days, now actively taking over and studying the concepts of decentralization, digital coins, and NFTs.

High chance, once the next generation completely takes over the financial market from preceding millennials, the way of doing finance will undergo permanent metamorphosis. The ardor of Gen Z leads to a conclusion that the transformation process has already been pushed: it is unlikely to be reversed, and winners are those who learn all the nitty-gritty details of the new financial system from the first days upfront.
This is what the leading financial establishments are doing. The fast progress of blockchain dissemination matched with supporting regulations has been spectacular and became even more so with the realization of transformation brought about by the worldwide scale of the pandemic. Currently, not only big corporations but also the predominant majority of small but progressive startups are looking forward to adopting decentralized technology as a means to increase company efficiencies.

Foreseeing this next turn in the global economy, consumers and businesses alike decided that it’s the right time to experiment in favor of blockchain technology. The new decentralized, non-custodial, and trustless DeFi protocol brought by MELD is living proof of that.

Next-Generation Model For Participating In MELD

Just when the process of ICOs became too mainstream, it became obvious that the next big step is around the corner. MELD justified the expectations – by putting forth a brand-new investment mechanism called an Initial Stake Pool Offering (ISPO), the company revolutionized the way community efforts are transformed into tangible value. Users can delegate ADA (Cardano's native asset) to one of MELD’s stake pools to join!

Unlike ICOs, this process opens the door for the community to take part in token launches in a safer way, for the investor, when compared to that of an ICO. The MELD ISPO kick-started on July 1st and the first pool was filled up with 64M ADA (approximately $90M at time of writing) within the first 24 hours, growing by millions each subsequent day. This proves the grandeur of the concept’s scale.

While agreeing to participate, users may be actively involved in any of the open MELD pools that are constantly filling up, with the current value of 133M ADA (close to $200M); after 7 days, the collective value struck 220M ADA after the next week.

The ISPO model is a trump card for three crucial constituencies involved: Cardano, MELD, and the crypto-community on the whole. With its advantageous efforts, the Initial Stake Pool Offering opens the door to the community to support the protocol and take part in a new token launch, all without risking any of their initial capital.

From July 1, all the way through to the end of the ISPO on December 8, users can delegate ADA for as long as they wish, with incentives to those who hold longer, with MELD being distributed every EPOCH (5 days). Once the process is finished, the full-fledged protocol of MELD based on the Cardano blockchain will come live and MELD will be airdropped to ISPO participants.

Conclusion

While the generation of new investors is still facing a dilemma on whether to enter the cryptocurrency market or habitually acquire a share of equities on the stock market, decentralized finance (DeFi) continues to surprise its devotees with the latest word in technological progress. Apart from introducing an investment mechanism accessible to anyone from any point of the globe on condition of having a stable internet connection, it now takes further steps to popularize what is called the ‘transformation of finance’, or the monetary system that is no longer dependent on governments and institutions which, over history, took a predominant role in shaping how people live and do their business.

All in all, with the simple and intuitive concept, MELD revolutionized the way of raising funds and distributing a token. MELD is able to offer its stakers a safe and secure way in supporting a startup and participating in a token launch. With the help of the Cardano blockchain, this project is able to achieve the speed and scale needed for the new generation of financiers. This, collectively, takes us into the future where financial services are available to all, despite age, location, or social class.
