- Defi Capital is usually institutional, but infrastructure still focuses on retail users.
- Liquidity fragmentation and protocol inefficiencies hinder large -scale institutional deployment.
- Sentora and Trident want to build institutional degree Defi with risk tools and structured products.
Sentora, formerly Intotheblock, has deposited his updated route map after his merger with Trident Digital, with important challenges and proposed solutions for building scalable, institutional grade finances (Defi) infrastructure. The company, which has recently concluded a series A -round of $ 25 million, wants to streamline the capital implementation, improve risk monitoring and tackle inefficiencies in fragmented Defiecosystems.
Defi -capital is usually institutional, but how much do you know about institutional Defi?

One of the primary issues of Sentora is the imbalance between the rapid growth of blockchain infrastructure and the limited pace of capital inflow. The company noted that the number of protocols and networks has grown considerably, while the volume of new participants and capital providers has been left behind. This discrepancy has locked a substantial total value (TVL) fragmentation and increased exposure to the risk of protocols with limited liquidity.
The Sentora study shows that a large part of Defi -capital is concentrated with large institutional players. In one analysis, the Top 100 deposits accounted for 185% of the capital in a leading Defi protocol. Despite this concentration, most Defi systems remain structured for the use of retail, without institutional guarantees such as risk coverage, deep liquidity or compliance infrastructure.
Technical and structural gaps undermine acceptance
The Sentora team identified important technical and financial barriers that prevent a broader institutional involvement. The company emphasized the need for improved user experience, interoperability of cross-chain and integrations with storage platforms such as Fireblocks and Bitgo to make seamless capital movement possible. Without these, institutions are confronted with friction when trying to allocate capital to decentralized systems.
On the financial side, Sentora underlined the importance of revenue tab traction, the availability of Stabilein and the coverage of the credit market. The team emphasized that ecosystems deep liquidity pools, robust decentralized exchange (DEX) integration and correctly configured incentives must include to maintain long -term activity.
Risk management and insurance remain critical areas in development. Sentora constantly confirmed internal research into decentralized insurance products, and emphasized that earlier efforts have failed, but the need for protocation against protocol -exploits remains unsolved.
Institutional deficiencies Coordinated development of infrastructure
The merger of Sentora and Trident Digital was positioned as a strategic effort to build a universal layer for institutional Defi. Sentora emphasized that new primitives-in particular structured products, loan models for Tokenized Real-World assets and interoperability tools-essential are to switch Defi to a parallel financial system that can support large-scale institutional activities.
The company concluded with an upcoming session planned for 18 June, aimed at Defi-risk evaluation models, because it continues to refine its approach to Defi-solutions for institutional quality.
