The company claims that its Seashell Save product gives users up to 10% interest on their funds, with flexible redemption options. The app is available on both Android and iOS devices. <\/p>\n<p>Company founder and CEO Daryl Hok, who also served as executive vice president and chief operating officer at\u00a0blockchain security firm CertiK, told Cointelegraph that the app generates yield from both \u201con-chain and off-chain sources\u201d despite not being an actual DeFi product. He further explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSimilar to how traditional banks put customer money to work by loaning out the funds, Seashell invests customer money across DeFi protocols and off-chain lending to generate higher yields for its users.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Although Seashell isn\u2019t built on the blockchain, the app could still appeal to savers who are worried about inflation and the erosion of their purchasing power.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Fed gone wild.

Although politicians have blamed supply shortages for the rise in prices, the more plausible explanation is the ballooning money supply.
