Yearn has more contributors than Bitcoin did at that point, tbh. I hate reading things like "Andre invented the fair launch" when, uh, that was clearly Satoshi, but as someone adjacent to Yearn, this isn't some random DeFi project.
- randomhodler84 5y agoNot super fair to compare contributor count then vs now; You could say the same about the Linux kernel or any major open source project of some history. World much bigger now. The kind of BTC contributor then was never about the money either, whereas I would say every ETH project ever (including the eth ico) was a cash grab, divorced from the cypherpunk roots.
- chrisco255 5y agoIt's called finance. It's a thing humans engage in, and you need smart contracts to actually enable that sort of activity without a trusted third party. Thanks to DEXes, aggregators, and protocols like ERC20 and ERC721, Ethereum's ecosystem is far less reliant on centralized actors than Bitcoin is.
