Frontend Meets Blockchain: Building the Ajna Protocol dApp
K&C turned a complex, immutable smart contract into a secure, user-friendly Web3 lending platform—without sacrificing decentralization.
about Ajna
Ajna Labs is a pioneering player in the DeFi space, developing the Ajna Protocol—an immutable, oracle-less, and permissionless lending protocol built on Ethereum. Its mission is to remove third-party risks and ensure censorship resistance, which is increasingly important in today’s uncertain regulatory landscape. Ajna is open-source and community-driven, setting a high bar for security, decentralization, and user control.
