Stablecoin-Trilemma Study
At Capestone, we tackle one of the most pressing challenges in decentralized finance: the Stablecoin Trilemma. Our team is dedicated to designing stablecoins that balance decentralization, capital efficiency, and stability. Through rigorous research and economic simulations, we explore innovative approaches that push the boundaries of financial technology. Join us as we work toward creating a stable, efficient, and decentralized financial ecosystem.
On-Chain Funds Study
Capestone’s Investment Fund research explores how blockchain technology can overcome the limitations of traditional finance by creating a transparent, accessible, and efficient open-ended fund model. This student-led study involved the practical establishment of a blockchain-based investment fund on the Polygon network, where participants could manage assets directly through smart contracts and the Uniswap interface. Through this innovative approach, our research demonstrates the potential of decentralized finance to democratize investment opportunities and offers students a unique, hands-on experience in managing a real fund. Capestone continues to lead the way in rethinking financial systems for the digital age.
