"XRP Ledger was created in 2012. The world of blockchain has changed many many times over since then. My own thoughts on governance and consensus models have evolved. Ive been mulling over how XRP is used in DeFi (both organically with apps and protocols like Flare MoreMarkets Axelar Doppler etc) and natively onchain. With programmability initiatives and smart contract discussions underway it seemed like a good time for us to also discuss what other DeFi capabilities natively could look like. @ja_akinyele wrote a great introductory blog post below:"
