Global energy shortages, cycles of hoarding, closing business and declining purchasing power can be traced back to poor monetary policy. For decades now, we spent more than we had and promised more than we could deliver. And now it looks like Friedman was right — you can’t increase the money supply without increasing inflation. Individuals and nations are struggling to break out of this spiraling cycle — and even leveraging the threat of war to avoid it. This series will explore how we got here and what blockchain stablecoins need to provide a better reserve currency and a more stable world.

Kamino has solidified its position as the leading money market on Solana and is emerging as a DeFi bluechip. Although DeFi competition is fierce, Kamino has kept iterating on its product to provide the best-in-class UX, paired with a robust risk management framework and battle-tested infrastructure. Given the rollout of Kamino Lend V2, the protocol may scale aggressively over the coming months, penetrating previously untapped markets in Solana DeFi.
