            <description><![CDATA[At Freighter, we’ve been obsessed with making our browser extension feel instantaneous. But after diving into real-world metrics, we discovered that initial load times were much slower than we wanted.

We will contrast this with the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), a model designed for issuers who require explicit trust, clear accountability, and designed to mitigate systemic risks that arise in adversarial economic environments.]]></description>
