Catherine Gu on how Solana is making it easy for traditional finance to build onchain:

“Everything is going to be entirely API-based. So as a web 2.0 company coming onchain to build, you don’t actually need to acquire any new knowledge or skill set. In fact, you can just use APIs as you do today to start building things, whether that’s let me create a tokenization engine to issue a stablecoin, to issue a tokenized deposit, or to issue tokenized commodities.”
