A new path for DeFi builders
DeFi has unlocked an entirely new financial paradigm—but building in it is still intimidating for many. Smart contract complexity, liquidity fragmentation, security risks—these are just a few of the barriers keeping developers at bay.
Tascha, a seasoned builder in the Web3 space and founder of Alpha Finance, is on a mission to change that. With her latest venture, Infinite, she’s creating an abstraction layer that simplifies DeFi development—turning protocol deployment into something more accessible, especially for developers coming from traditional Web2 stacks.
Infinite isn’t a new DeFi protocol. It’s the infrastructure beneath it—like Stripe, but for DeFi.
From Alpha Finance to Infinite: solving for scale
Tascha has been active in crypto since 2017. Her experience with Alpha Finance gave her a front-row seat to DeFi’s biggest scaling bottlenecks. She saw how hard it was to balance short-term growth with long-term sustainability—especially when navigating the fragmented liquidity landscape across chains.
This experience led her to a bold insight: for DeFi to truly scale, the developer experience needs to be reimagined.
That’s where Infinite comes in.
What makes Infinite different
Infinite provides a development framework that abstracts away the low-level complexity of DeFi infrastructure. Instead of forcing teams to reinvent the wheel with every launch, Infinite offers pre-built components that are customizable, secure, and interoperable.
One major unlock? Developers can build using JavaScript and TypeScript. This drastically widens the talent pool, allowing anyone familiar with modern web development to experiment with DeFi.
Another key feature is cross-chain compatibility. By default, Infinite helps protocols scale across multiple ecosystems, reducing the friction of launching on new chains and minimizing liquidity silos.
Case studies and traction
Infinite isn’t just theory. It’s already powering real-world projects.
Tascha highlights Init Capital and Idina as examples of teams building with Infinite. These case studies show how quickly new protocols can go from idea to mainnet, thanks to Infinite’s infrastructure stack.
The platform also runs an incubation program—offering grants, mentorship, and technical support to promising DeFi builders. For founders who have the vision but not the bandwidth to handle low-level infra, this is a game-changer.
DeFi’s UX problem, and why abstraction matters
A recurring theme in this episode is the role of abstraction in improving user experience. Whether it’s end users navigating confusing interfaces or developers battling with fragmented tooling, the message is the same: simpler is better.
Tascha argues that standardization—without sacrificing flexibility—is the next big unlock. Infinite’s goal is to offer standardized components that can be customized where needed, giving teams both speed and control.
It’s the kind of thinking that mirrors modern software design: composable, modular, and scalable.
Looking forward: AI, community, and the next frontier
The conversation wraps up with a look at Infinite’s roadmap. From exploring AI integrations to improve developer workflows to expanding the types of DeFi apps that can be built, the vision is ambitious.
Tascha also emphasizes the importance of community—both from a developer perspective and in shaping the future of decentralized finance. With partnerships in the pipeline and more announcements to come, Infinite is positioning itself as the backbone for the next wave of DeFi builders.
Final thoughts
Infinite isn’t just lowering the barrier to entry for DeFi—it’s redefining what’s possible for developers. Whether you're a builder, founder, or simply curious about how Web3 is evolving, this episode offers a thoughtful, clear look into the infrastructure powering DeFi’s future.
