Dusa Labs comes from an initiative led by six blockchain enthusiasts and their desire to rediscover the values of decentralization. After winning different hackathons in Paris, Lyon, Miami and San Francisco, they came to the conclusion that the DeFi ecosystem is not truly decentralized.
The founders of Dusa had the opportunity to meet various players in the Web3 ecosystem through several events and to compare their opinions on the current DeFi. One of the most shared observations is that decentralization in DeFi projects is only in its infancy, and that the need for security - already present - will continue to grow. Indeed, the interaction with a decentralized application (dApp) or a DeFi protocol is still done through highly centralized elements and is open to censorship and attacks:
The hosting of decentralized applications is almost entirely dependent on Web2 solutions, which are centralized entities. This implies that the decentralized application does not have optimal resistance to cyberattacks since the front-end is not hosted on the blockchain (on-chain). Thus, the user can see his user interface evolve with the appearance of malicious content at any time, as was recently the case with the Curve protocol. In addition, the dApp is exposed to censorship, as well as potential data hosting and infrastructure failures.
Decentralized applications use initiators who are outside the blockchain (off-chain). When you make a transaction, some Smart Contracts use oracles - databases that are not located directly on the blockchain - and do not take advantage of the security provided by blockchain technology. Thus, off-chain
