Say hello to Kurate.
Permissionless EURC credit on Solana, built for the @colosseum hackathon.
→ isolated markets, no shared risk
→ curated vaults with published parameters
→ curators accountable onchain
Day 6 of Building in Public @kurate_finance, euro stablecoin credit layer on Solana 🇪🇺
Quiet day, mostly writing and thinking.
> Updated the homepage copy
> Started the institutional page: the API and the strategies we'll open to institutions
> Spent time on how we actually communicate
Every consumer protocol I've worked on had the same playbook: post daily, memes, reply to everyone.
We're building for European institutions. That playbook doesn't apply.
The one angle that works onchain and stays true to what we do is euromaxxing. So we're leaning into that, plus visuals that look like the product we're building.
If you're building something institutional in crypto: what's actually worked for you?
Day 5 of building in public for @colosseum hackathon 🏛️
Just submitted our first weekly video for @kurate_finance
Why we're building it: as Europeans in Web3, we earn in stablecoins but live in euros. And there's almost no credit market for EURC.
This week we built our first market on @kamino. Launching next week 🇪🇺

Day 4 of Building In Public @kurate_finance 🇪🇺
The staging market did its job. The real one is out.
> Real market deployed with the parameters we set yesterday
> Website now runs on live onchain data, no more mock numbers
> App in progress: supply, borrow and repay straight from the interface
Going from "it looks like a protocol" to "it is one" happens exactly here.
Which screen do you want to see first?
Day 3 of Building in Public @kurate_finance 🇪🇺
Today was about learning the hard part before touching real money.
> Deployed a staging market on @kamino : live onchain but unlisted, so we can break things without anyone finding them
> Went through the docs until the oracle system actually clicked
> Prepared the real market: LTV ratios, caps, TVL targets and the strategy behind them
Also joined the @SuperteamNL call to kick off the @colosseum hackathon. 4 weeks, starting for real.
Real market goes live tomorrow. What's the first parameter you check before lending into a market?
Day 2 builidng in public @kurate_finance, onchain euro credit on Solana 🇪🇺
Front:
✅ Webapp design done (on mock data)
→ Next: plug in a real market to see what's missing or what's too much
Back:
✅ SPYx reserve fully configured
→ Left to do: QQQx and EURC
If you were borrowing EURC against tokenized stocks, what's the first thing you'd want to see?
My #BuildInPublic series is back for the @colosseum hackathon. Day 1 🚀
I've been in crypto for 5+ years as a European, and one thing is still missing: euro-native lending & borrowing. So we're building @kurate_finance
> Website is live (mock data for now)
> We spun up a test market on @kamino to see what challenges we'll face with EURC
Follow along 👇
This year I'm joining @colosseum Crypto World's Fair Hackathon with a new project ✨ @kurate_finance ✨
