EEA Member Spotlight with Coinchange’s Jérôme Ostorero
As a member of the EEA, Coin change Part of the EEA community of organizations working to advance Ethereum and drive industry adoption. In the Q&A below, EEA interviews Jérôme Ostorero, Director of Research and Risk at Coinchange, about how the organization contributes to the Ethereum business ecosystem.
Please introduce your company and yourself:
My name is Jerome Ostorero. I have been working in the cryptocurrency industry for 5 years and currently serve as Director of Research and Risk at Coinchange. Coinchange is a quantitative asset management platform with a structured yield portfolio, allowing users to earn passive income on their holdings by driving yield generation in DeFi. Starting in 2018, we have been providing return portfolios through apps (custodial service), Web3 wallet connection (non-custodial service), and separately managed accounts (semi-custodial service). All strategies generate delta-neutral returns. Coinchange’s cutting-edge yield strategies run on the Framework for Algorithmic Yield Strategies (FAYS) technology, allowing Coinchange to quickly create, deploy, and manage effective, secure, and fully automated strategies for yield generation. This allows any company dealing with cryptocurrencies to profit in all market conditions and opens up new opportunities to provide additional value to customers, improve customer retention, increase runway, and reduce OPex.
What first brought you to the EEA and why did you decide to become a member?
We first learned about the EEA through the Crosschain Interoperability Working Group, mainly through Peter Robinson and Ermyas Abebe, at the time of writing five months ago. Research report on bridges and security aspects. The cryptocurrency space and DeFi are in their infancy today, and we need businesses to adopt technologies that can provide banking services to the unbanked and facilitate financial transactions. Standards supported by the EEA are critical for corporate adoption. Otherwise, the space will never cross the chasm for global adoption. We joined EEA because its mission aligns with Coinchange’s efforts and we immediately recognized its value and benefits to the space as a whole.
What are you currently working on with Ethereum? How will end users benefit from your work?
The Coinchange research team has been building a DeFi risk assessment framework for decentralized exchanges, money market protocols, blockchains, and bridges for nearly two years. Along the way, we gained deep expertise in DeFi risks. If the data points collected are not proprietary, there is a scoring methodology, so while we understand Coinchange could benefit from this, it is difficult to make this available to the public. Therefore, our contribution to the EEA will enable us to achieve both.
How will the EEA strengthen your organization’s current efforts?
As a member, Coinchange can contribute to the writing of standards with deep expertise, such as the DeFi Risk Assessment, Management, and Accounting (DRAMA) Working Group, the Ethereum Training Quality (Eth TQ) Working Group, and potentially cross-chain. Interoperability Working Group.
What EEA program are you most excited about?
We are eager to engage in discussions with like-minded experts and all members, and to foster enterprise adoption through security and trust in interest and working groups.
