Stellar

Denelle Dixon, CEO of the Stellar Development Foundation, says the key to blockchain success is the easy transfer of value on and off the blockchain. Dixon highlighted the importance of integrating traditional finance and blockchain technology to achieve broad adoption.
“From the beginning, we’ve focused on making money move like email, but we really understood that to do that, you needed the on- and off-ramps and couldn’t rely on transacting with volatile cryptocurrencies,” Dixon said.
As a former trial lawyer and executive at companies like Yahoo and Mozilla, Dixon credited Stellar founder Jed McCaleb for her transition into the blockchain ecosystem. She cited Stellar’s focus on tokenization, fast and low-fee payments, and its potential impact on developing economies as driving factors behind her decision to join the layer-1 protocol.

She also acknowledged the tribalism within the blockchain community, stating that it detracts from advancing the utility of the underlying infrastructure.
“It’s really funny. There is tribalism, but sometimes, we continue to promote the tribalism instead of focusing on what’s really true,” Dixon said, pointing to recent network outages and congestion issues across major protocols.
Dixon emphasized that individuals and organizations driving decentralized protocol adoption share a belief that the industry is “not a winner-takes-all market.” The Stellar Development Foundation recently <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/03/20/stellar-launches-soroban/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">launched </a>smart contracts on the Stellar network with the Soroban platform, driven by a need for advanced programmability to create a “greenfield space” for developers.
