Harnessing No-Code Blockchain for DeFi: A Microcredit Case Study on AstraKode Blockchain
Pages 433 - 436
Abstract
Spurred by Decentralized Finance's growth, the application of blockchain beyond cryptocurrency has seen a steady rise in recent years as smart contract-based solutions have become increasingly valuable in several other industries. Nonetheless, the technical complexities still pose significant barriers, especially for those lacking previous blockchain expertise. No-code platforms such as AstraKode Blockchain (AKB) offer to mitigate or even abate such barriers by providing a simplified, configurable environment that facilitates development and deployment. AKB's effective application in a microcredit project, the object of this paper, underscores the potential positioning of no-code platforms as key enablers for industries facing cost and complexity challenges in their blockchain adoption journey.
