The SEC has proposed new rules at their June 9 crypto round-table that could significantly benefit decentralized platforms.​ The innovation exemption would:

  • Remove broker/dealer requirements for code-based protocols
  • Protect developers from smart contract liability
  • Accept on-chain transparency for compliance
  • Offer conditional relief during technology proving period

This regulatory shift could provide U.​S.​ builders with legal clarity while maintaining DeFi's core benefits.​ Minterest demonstrates alignment through:

  • In-protocol liquidations via Solvency Engine
  • 100% fee distribution to stakers
  • Deployment on Mantle, Taiko & Morph networks
