About the role
- The 4 biggest blockchain strengths are also its weakness
- Blockchain data is public. It is not usable at institutional scale.
- Finance cannot operate on that, it needs an effective system of record.

- Allium is the read layer that makes onchain finance usable for humans and machines.
