Fostering a Collaborative & Innovative DeFi Ecosystem on EOS

ENV is a venture capital fund with a mission to attract capital investment and deploy that capital for the benefit of the EOS Network as a whole. The organization is in the process of making a number of strategic investments in alignment with this mission and NoahArk.io is an important part of that vision. The project came to be through a collaboration between Defibox Technology Limited (Defibox.io) and Hong Kong Noah Technology Limited (Noahark.io) and aims to build a robust DeFi ecosystem on the EOS network.

By building on the strengths of both Defibox.io and NoahArk Tech Group, the team hopes to foster an expansive ecosystem of DeFi tools on EOS. As part of this strategy, the team plans to collaborate with two leading DeFi teams to develop an interoperable liquidity aggregation protocol. This will improve transaction flexibility, while creating a more expansive liquidity pool that supports a wide array of assets.

Through this investment, the ENV aims to support NoahArk Tech Group as they create new avenues for collaboration and development that benefit the entire EOS DeFi ecosystem. At the same time, this investment will drive value back to the network by creating new opportunities for DeFi to thrive on EOS, while increasing users and liquidity on the network.

Yves La Rose, Director of ENV and Founder & CEO of the ENF expressed excitement in the news, stating “Through our investment in NoahArk Tech Group, we’re not just funding a company, we’re investing in the future of DeFi on the EOS Network. We’re confident in their ability to innovate and believe this partnership will lead to significant advancements in the EOS ecosystem.”

NoahArk Tech Group CEO, Eason, noted the impact this investment would have on their efforts to grow DeFi adoption on EOS. “This financial backing will significantly enhance market opportunities for both Defibox.io and Noahark.io. As we anticipate the next bull market, the combined efforts of our DeFi teams will focus on developing an interoperable liquidity aggregation protocol. These initiatives are aimed at enhancing transaction convenience and flexibility for our users and expanding the range of assets supported on EOS and EOS EVM.”

Meet Our Founder Yves La Rose

Yves La Rose is the Executive Director and Founder of the EOS Network Foundation (ENF). A consummate consensus builder within the EOS ecosystem, he lives and breathes EOS, working to ensure the success of the network.

At a young age, Yves was attracted to technology. Through the experience of building his first computer and writing his first program at the age of seven, a lifelong interest in the potential of technology was born.

After completing studies in psychology at the University of Ottawa, Yves moved to Japan where he began his professional career in business and education.

With an entrepreneurial and inquisitive nature, six years passed, living and working while steeped in Japanese language and culture. At the same time, his early intrigue with technology was being further amplified by the revelations of Bitcoin. In 2010, he began mining Bitcoin on his laptop, and exploring the potential of decentralized networks.

Returning to Ottawa in 2011, Yves resumed his university education in pure sciences, focusing on perceptual and computational neuropsychology, and additional studies in behavioral economics.

In 2017, with additional years of business planning and analysis experience, Yves began seriously considering an endeavor in the emerging blockchain industry. Along with a handful of interested associates, he formed a blockchain book club, and having made a thorough survey of second and third generation blockchains, they began focusing their attention on the promising open source blockchain platform, EOSIO.

In February of 2018 Yves co-founded EOS Nation and led it to become the top rated block producer on the largest and most valuable network using EOSIO, the EOS Mainnet.

For over three years as founder and CEO of EOS Nation, Yves helped navigate the company through a great deal of operational uncertainty. Running network infrastructure, providing community outreach, exploring governance models, and contemplating approaches to public goods funding. His undivided attention was on EOS.

EOSIO was at the bleeding edge of public blockchain development, but it was also a global, decentralized network that was increasingly hobbled by distant and ambiguous leadership, misallocation of capital, and misalignment of incentives. Various teams sought to create a foundation, or a worker proposal system that could fund the development of public goods for the network, but these efforts stalled, and EOS was adrift. In May of 2021 Yves resigned as CEO of EOS Nation and began to contemplate a new path forward.

Throughout his tenure as CEO of EOS Nation, Yves had formed many good relationships across the EOS Network, among BP’s in the East, West & in the global South. Yves recognized that he was uniquely positioned to coalesce the stakeholders of the EOS Network around a foundation that would work on behalf of all EOS token holders to realize the true potential of EOS. With the assurance of support from a coalition of stakeholders, Yves founded the EOS Network Foundation.

Since founding the ENF, Yves has dedicated himself with singular focus, in the spirit of a modern day samurai, to work for the benefit of the EOS public blockchain and the many stakeholders of which it is composed. Yves continues to cultivate a team at the ENF that can serve the needs of the EOS community by lifting up and empowering the community itself.

Grounded in the lived experience of Eastern thought and traditions from his time living and studying in Japan and traveling throughout Asia, Yves brings a holistic approach to unifying the global EOS community through mutual respect, and a willingness to meet others wherever they are at.
