Cardano's Alpha Growth plans to boost DeFi total value locked by $200 million within a year, focusing on integrating Ethereum-compatible (EVM) wallets and simplifying asset bridging from Ethereum and similar networks. The initiative, backed by 120 million ADA from the Cardano treasury, prioritizes easier onboarding through a shared wallet and incentives for lending and liquidity provision. The strategy targets existing DeFi users on Ethereum-compatible chains rather than dormant ADA holders, aiming to attract liquidity and capital by reducing friction. However, long-term user retention remains a challenge, and the project also explores institutional-grade DeFi features like tokenized treasuries and on-chain credit, while cautioning against liquidity fragmentation.
