Mission: DeFi - EP 103 - Maverick (@MavProtocol) changes everything for #DeFi! - Bob Baxley (@Bob_Baxley) Jul 11, 2023

Mark these words: Maverick Protocol has the potential to dramatically change the fundamentals of DeFi.

I can usually whip through 3-4 use cases for a protocol within minutes of understanding it, but Maverick gives me a headache, because the possibilities seem endless and more powerful than what we’ve seen before.

And, that’s a good thing!

In this interview with Bob Baxley, one of the founders of Maverick, we walk through not only how they ended up creating Mav after a couple of pivots, but also the secret to their rapid growth into a top 5 dex in volume.

Then we walked through several use cases that could dramatically change multiple segments of DeFi, which in turn led to several more ideas of use cases across the ecosystem.

All of this is managed through a brilliant interface model that will blow you away!

Being an LP sucks. While Uni V3 helped a bit, they are still only offering you rectangular models, while all the data suggests you need to be able to manage exponentially. LPs get stuck over and over again in impermanent loss and there’s no way to avoid it.

Mav can solve this.

The number one complaint I hear from founders, is that rather than build, they spend all their time thinking about liquidity and tokenomics.

Mav can solve this.

Protocols in order to maintain liquidity have to constantly worry about maintaining price levels.

Mav can solve this.

Algo stablecoins like Liquity have basically had to hope and pray that the models they use will hold the peg, but what if you could draw a model that fit your peg profile perfectly.

Mav can do this through boosted models that could beat anything available in the market.

The list goes on and on and on.

Once you start playing with the platform, you are going to think of another dozen ways that can improve the way you run your protocol, manage your positions, and much much more.

Mission: DeFi - EP 102 - Casper the Chain has an enterprise focus & a powerful model - Ralf Kubli of the Casper Association Jul 10, 2023

Ralf Kubli has been advocating for Switzerland to properly arbitrage its regulatory advantage in crypto and now the Casper Association is working to build a powerful enterprise focused chain that will take advantage of that.

We discussed not only Casper, but also the future of crypto, regulation historically and where Ralf sees crypto going from here and its impact on the wider economic system.

Some really powerful ideas and thoughts for how crypto navigates the future.

Mission: DeFi - EP 100 - Building in AI with Corey Cottrell - EPISODE 100! 🥳 That's a bit nuts May 30, 2023

Can't think of anyone better for my 100th episode 🥳 than my good friend Corey Cottrell. We always have a great time just chatting and this conversation is no different.

We had a wide ranging chat about AI, the future, and his projects.

Corey has been building innovative platforms with his amazing team and community for a while now. They built a really powerful Minecraft-based metaverse with token and NFT integration called The Uplift and then Microsoft decided to restrict NFTs in Minecraft, so they started rebuilding on an open source platform. Then, ChatGPT and AI exploded on the scene and Corey had an idea 💡.

He and the team built a powerful AI platform integrated with Discord and it goes beyond just a chat interface. They create distinct and fine-tuned AI agents for projects in crypto and elsewhere and the results are really amazing. They keep communities engaged, can handle topics and issues related to a project and much much more. If you run a community on Discord, you need MetaMind.app.

They have much bigger plans and are determined to stay ahead of the curve.

DeFi Lunch (Ep 327) - Apr 6, 2023 - Reviews of Newly funded projects / Treasury Dept is Ridic Apr 07, 2023

You are missing out - Join our community -> https://t.me/missiondefi

On today's show:

The Treasury Department released their split personality report on DeFi

https://md1.to/treasreport

Reading it though is difficult, so instead we rely on the legal experts from Brad's Crypto Legal List (https://md1.to/cryptolegal)

DeFi Education Fund (@fund_defi) summarized most of it very nicely - https://md1.to/defifundtreas

In addition, @Timccopeland noted the split personality of agreeing that most illicit activity doesn't happen on DeFi, while they claim it can happen on DeFi... Sigh - https://md1.to/opereas

--------

Then we ran through how much @Coinbase is doing to protect DeFi and crypto legally and technically and read through @iampaulgrewal's thread on their legal filings in the #TornadoCash case - https://md1.to/cbtreas

--------

In more news about Coinbase, we discussed an anonymous donor's gift of Base.ETH to the Base Chain (@BuildOnBase) to reward them for their focus on decentralization - https://md1.to/baseeth

--------

We spent more time discussing what Coinbase is doing with Base and the potential it has as well as potential revenue models for it.

--------

@CoWSwap, in collaboration with @beaverbuild and Agnostic Relayer launched MEVBlocker to protect you from Sandwich attacks and front running. A fantastic service that is now being integrated with dapps as well - https://md1.to/mevblocker

--------

New Raises in DeFi

Then we went old school and ran through a number of projects that have recently raised money to see if there are any of value in the mix. We use @DefiLlama to find these nuggets - https://md1.to/dlraises

Projects Discussed:

Carbonable (@Carbonable_io) is doing Real World investments to stem climate change with nice payouts over long periods and ownership secured by NFTs - https://md1.to/carbonable

Radix (@radixdlt) recently had a raise, which we found interesting, since they haven't been much in the news of late. Developers with Rust skills can build on the project - https://md1.to/radix

Another odd investment round is in Metaverse infrastructure provider @Hadeaninc. Neither Brad or Joe feel like there's much to do there, so were surprised by anyone putting money in at this stage, but there may be more there than what we can see - https://md1.to/hadean

Brad and Joe love a good infrastructure investment, so they gave a thumbs up to a new round in @ParticleNtwrk - https://md1.to/particle

They were also excited to see a Real World Asset (#RWA) play for @polytrade_fin that has a market for investing in invoice receivable a market that Brad and Joe are both high on seeing an integration into DeFi - https://md1.to/polytrade - $TRADE

Get ready to be blown away by the insights and frameworks Josh Rosenthal uses for building companies, investing, and understanding the full potential of crypto.

His interviews on Bankless have created a storm of theories on how crypto plays out, based on the historical context of the Renaissance and the American Revolution.

Mission: DeFi EP 90 - There's more to Arweave than you thought possible - Creator - Sam Williams Mar 08, 2023

If you think Arweave is just a place to store NFTs permanently, then this episode is going to be a complete eye opener for you as it was for me. Sam Wiliams had an obsession with geopolitics that led him to a vision of creating a system of permanent storage, because he was concerned about censorship and the ongoing human problems of storing our information, knowledge, and data in a safe and permanent way. What he got on the other side of the launch, was far far more than just data storage.

Learn all abotu Arweave, Sam, and how it is built, but more importantly, learn about all the possibilities for using Arweave that you never knew.

Show Notes

From simple gaming guild to full blown Web3 gaming infrastructure. How does this happen?

Started career our in TradFi in risk assessment and management

Quit his job during Covid because companies weren't paying

His first foray into DeFi as an investor ended up with a rug and then he and the community tried to save it, but when some wanted to turn it into a ponsi that is when he moved to shut it down.

How the game of Parallels became the impetus for ParagonsDAO

How what they are building could become bigger than they imagined

The long term strategy that makes Paragons a much larger scope and technology

How their desire to figure out how to share assets like a guild, could be more and then they started assessing what it takes to make the model work.

How do you assess players and decide if they are worth it

Launched with a bonding event, but still weren't sure how would make it work, but acquired thousands of assets

Took months until they figured out how, but mainly were still trying to figure it out and added governance and decentralization

Council model for governance

DeFi Lunch (Ep 275) - Jan 18, 2023 - @X7_Finance: Incredible stealth launch story / big potential / powerful ethos / dedicated community / @robthebank4 @cryptod0c_ Jan 19, 2023

The launch of X7 Finance is an amazing story you have to hear to believe, but the potential power of this protocol makes it even more important to learn about. We covered it all in detail in this episode of DeFi Lunch.

The devs are mysterious and unknown.
All communications have happened on chain.
A community formed around the intriguing launch of a new token, with no solid idea of what it was all about.
When the community finally learned what was being built, intrigue turned to involvement and a dedicated community grew together and took ownership.

The story doesn't end there, though, because the protocol itself is an innovative concept that could reshape how projects get launched.

Undercollateralized loans for liquidity solves one of the biggest problems for startup projects in DeFi and could change how liquidity happens for mature projects too.
An exchange that could quickly take a big bite of market share if the community can make the biz dev fly.
A gamified system that protects lenders, rewards them handsomely, and provides amazing value to the community.
Radically decentralized from the beginning in terms of smart contracts
An innovative approach to governance and community decentralization that makes more sense than anything we've seen.
A well-thought-out and pre-planned launch sequence, testing every aspect of the system over time

There is so much more to this, and the passion of the community is evident throughout.

Video Version is here: https://bit.ly/X7Interview

Today we interviewed two of the community leaders for X7 Finance a protocol we see having tremendous potential in DeFi for bootstrapping liquidity for new projects, becoming a massive exchange competing with some of the biggest in the space, and driving radical decentralization to a new level.

Rob The Bank (@robthebank4) and cryptod0c(@cryptod0c_) did a great job representing the community and the devs.

Mission DeFi EP 79 - Shadow War - Games are tough, but Roy Blackstone with the help of AAA devs wants to change the narrative on crypto games - @fillbeforeshill Oct 19, 2022

Roy Blackstone has a long history in crypto and it is one of ongoing pursuit of excellence and primarily success. There is a lot to learn from how he builds and plans his projects and makes them successful.

Why originality is critical.

How they make crypto a critical, but light element.

How the focus is on game first and how current game NFT models are inherently broken or wrong.

Games are incredibly difficult to make successful. There are so many elements to combine to make them interesting, captivating, fun, and addictive. Roy Blackstone thinks that he, his partner, and their team can make it happen with their crypto game called Shadow War. It is a unique spin on gaming components, with a light touch of crypto, but with the focus on a powerful story and gaming experience as the first and foremost priority.

We also covered his previous project Chain Binders and my goal to turn it into a fundraising mechanism for projects.

They've hired world class developers and creatives to take on this big task, but from my experience working with Roy, if anyone can pull it off, it is Roy.

We cover how he came up with the game, how he found AAA talent to build it and got them to buy into his vision.

Mission DeFi EP 76 - Critical Decentralized Oracle System - Nick Fett of Tellor ( @WeAreTellor ) Oct 04, 2022

Oracles are critical infrastructure in DeFi, but most of the options we have today are centralized and at risk for censorship or failure. It could literally take down the entire system. Nick Fett and his founding partners have been working since 2018 to build a truly decentralized oracle system that can withstand threats and they are starting to get the kind of traction that is critical to the success of all of DeFi.

Guest Name: Nick Fett

Economist
Started working at CFTC
Joined the blockchain working group there
Left in 2017
Started with the idea of starting a derivatives project on a sidechainGot an Ethereum Foundation grant
Did a research paper on why it was a bad idea
The problem he hit at that time was the oracle problem. There were no real oracles at the time
The original oracle was a guy that setup a server, but he quit.
Decided to pivot from derivatives into solving the Oracle problem in 2018
Chainlink wasn't launched yet. Nothing really existed.
He was determined from the beginning to be decentralized
ICO days
How difficult it was to raise money
Built the entire project in 2019 and launched their token
How their decentralized oracles work as a marketplace for information
Stakers and Reporters.Stakers stake and then can request data
Reporters then post the data and race to be first
Anyone can protest that data is incorrect and reporters can lose their staked money
Gas costs make streaming data difficult
Doing anything on a blockchain fast is a bad idea.
Original platform was a proof of work protocol that facilitated toke n emissions
Couldn't get anyone to take it.
How they went out to promote it and get anyone involved

After a brutal exploit drained the value of the Bean stablecoin, many predicted that Beanstalk Farms would never recover, but a herculean and unpaid effort by the team and the community has the protocol on the path to recovery and things are looking bright for one of the most successful algortthmic stablecoins ever.

We discussed not only what happened after the exploit, but the plan forward and amazing developments for use of the protocol inside and outside of DeFi.

We also discussed their role as founders and what it is like balancing that role with the desire to have a completely decentralized protocol that no longer depends on Publius and how they want to make that happen.

Mission DeFi EP 70 - $70 billion in instant liquidity across most chain and dex - Dejun Qian Founder of Chainge Finance Sep 07, 2022

What if you could with every trade have billions and billions of USD equivalent liquidity available to you in DeFi? My guest's platform has the ability to change how you trade in DeFi.

In 2019 the first EVM compatible chain was born and it probably isn't one you've heard of before. Fusion was built from the ground up to perform fast, but to also deeply integrate at the encryption level cross chain functionality. This capability has now been built into a product on that chain, called Chainge and it is one of the most powerful concepts I've ever discussed on the show.

Chainge harnesses the power of their fast cross chain capabilities to give you access to the best liquidity and prices across most EVM chains. That isn't all though. They've built a powerful security model, you always have custody of your tokens, and you have access to an amazing yield generation capability that means you never have to deposit tokens into a vault or farm.

Chainge was built to showcase the capabilities of the Fusion blockchain, but I think it has the potential to go far beyond. Both technologies deserve your closer look.

Mission DeFi EP 68 - Users & Projects Win Big Just For Sending & Receiving With Fluidity - Shahmeer Explains This Powerful Protocol Aug 22, 2022

What if most of the time that users sent, received, staked, swapped, or did anything else that in DeFi, they could win back crypto up to 100s, 1000s, and even millions of dollars?

Now, what if protocols could get off the liquidity battle hamster wheel and blow out their governance token incentives and dramatically grow their userbase and keep them loyal?

Fluidity makes that possible.

This is an epic interview with founder Shahmeer and we get into how his very successful gaming background and an awesome team made it possible for them to unleash the power of dopamine to grow wealth for users, users for protocols, and the entire DeFI ecosystem with their new primitive.

Mission DeFi EP 67 - Is your DAO safe from regulators? - Yev Muchnik & Jacqueline Radebaugh discuss forming DAOs as cooperatives Aug 03, 2022

Video version of this show is available at https://www.missiondefi.com/daos-as-cooperatives

Did you form a DAO without registering an entity? You are likely personally liable if you did.

Even if you registered an entity like an LLC for your DAO, you very likely are going to face regulatory compliance issues if you haven't had legal help to navigate.

The regulatory picture in the US for DAOs is murky at best, but there is one way to make things potentially clearer and safer for everyone involved. Cooperatives have been around for a very long time and are an excellent match to many of the DAOs that exist today. In this episode attorneys Yev and Jacqueline that are experts in cooperative and crypto regulatory compliance make the case that a cooperative registration in Colorado may be a superior way to setup a DAO.

Besides being a strong philosophical match for the purpose of DAOs, they can also provide securities exemptions and more. We get into the how and why of cooperatives.

I met Reggie because his firm Ghaf Capital invested in my client Walken in the Move2Earn space & I was thoroughly impressed with how they supported a portfolio project & then I discovered that Reggie is also CEO of Gather which is making ethical & low resource consumption browser-based mining on their own Layer 1 chain to help websites and apps earn more and eliminate advertising.

We discuss what it is like to have to overcome the negative stereotypes of previous players in the browser mining space, how their model is different and what is was like starting in a previous bear market.

Then we get to know how Ghaf Capital operates and what it is like being a VC in the crypto space and working hard to bring more value to their investments.

Mission DeFi EP 59 - Swell Network is creating a powerful marketplace for liquid staking & easily integrated vaults for easier derivative earning @SwellNetworkio May 17, 2022

Swell Network is launching what they call Liquid Staking V2.0. Not only will they offer easy to use staking for users and nodes, but they will also offer the platform in a composable and white label format. This will allow them to create a marketplace for liquid staking with nodes competing on earnings to optimize what stakers will earn.

In addition, they make it easier for stakers to earn more, by building in vaults to earn more on their yields, without having to move their derivative tokens off the platform in order to increase what they earn.

Mission DeFi EP 58 - Earn more while you help decentralize & secure the chain. @joshneuroth of @ANKR $ANKR May 15, 2022

The infrastructure of Ethereum and other chains is still not decentralized and this is a serious threat to the future of #DeFi. Josh Neuroth of Ankr explains how they are decentralizing the infrastructure of blockchains with decentralized RPC nodes and liquid staking on multiple chains and now they are combining both so you RPC nodes can also be staking nodes.

You can now earn on their protocol for helping to secure your favorite chain.

Mission: DeFi EP 47 - Tempus' David Garai - Fixed Income & Yield Speculation go DeFi! Mar 11, 2022

As we all work to move DeFi into the real world, there is also an opportunity to bring institutional products into DeFi and give us and institutions new opportunities. The team at Tempus is doing just that with their fixed income/yield speculation protocol. They've taken a unique approach to the concept and have seen great growth. David and I discussed what is has been like building this platform, the complexities of making it work and the work they do to train users on how it works. As a bear market engulfs us, I think Tempus is nicely positioned for growth as investors seek more conservative options to ride out the storm.

Mission DeFi EP 45 - Andrew Yang's Lobby3 is here to help advance #DeFi. How they will do it & why. @AndrewYang @Lobby3d Mar 07, 2022

Andrew Yang's Lobby3 is ready to educate the US Congress on how DeFi can help average people get ahead.

I was a big supporter of Andrew Yang's during his presidential run. While I do believe that UBI is good policy, I primarily supported him, because he took a pragmatic and logical approach to solving problems that was non-partisan and welcoming. That is why when he announced he was forming a lobbying DAO to advance Web3/DeFi, I immediately let him know I was onboard and I wanted to interview him about it.

Why he chose this fight
How they plan to make it work
How the org will be structured and the critical need for everyone to be involved
What it was like to jump from one campaign to another
I walked him through some use cases as well that I believe fit the mission to demonstrate DeFi in real life

I encourage you to get involved with this powerful community and movement.

Mission: DeFi EP 44 - Forgotten Bancor plans to become unforgettable? Nate Hindman & Mark Richardson detail the powerful Bancor 3 & much more. Mar 04, 2022

Bancor for most of DeFi is the forgotten pioneer that built the foundations of everything we have in DeFi. The first AMM sprung forth from an attempt at building localized niche currencies and after being passed over by some for other AMMs like Uniswap, the project continued to build and develop a better way. Now years later, they are set to reveal a new version of Bancor that could dramatically change the DeFi landscape again and they are determined to never be forgotten again.

Nate Hindman and Mark Richardson not only detail the massive sea change that Bancor is bringing to market in V3, but our discussion takes us to the core components of DeFi and how to do things better.

Never count on the research of others. We don't know what we are talking about and you can lose all your money. Never invest more than you can afford to lose, because you probably will lose it all.

How Bancor began as a local currency company

Morphed into AMM, because they had to have a way for the currencies to be able to be exchanged and to have liquidity

How impermanent loss led to them developing single-sided liquidity providing with verion 2.1

Users are able to get out the same number of tokens they put inplus the LP fees

Then they describe how it works.

Each pool has a common reserve asset in the pool which is Bancor's token BNT

BNT is also an elastic supply token. Protocol owned liquidity

2.1 reduced the amount of liquidity allowed or capped it to make sure it was safe.

How the DAO decides the capped amount for each token

The more mature the token, the more depth in the pool

Their insurance policy is vested over 100 day so to protect yourself from impermanent loss, then you have to keep your funds in the entire time.

How their new version becomes composability

Why the price of the token BNT is fairly stable and how much is trade-able

Whether the volume of the exchange impacts the price

Does the gambling addiction in Crypto impact the prices of tokens?

Composability and smart tokens

How Bancor pool tokens are immune to the type of price manipulation attacks experienced by Cream Finance.

Up only tokens as part of the system

Can only go up or sideways

How volatility data has reduced the insurance/lockup period to just a 7 day cool down for withdrawal.

Omni pool for earnings from the entire network

No limits on deposit amounts

Staking rewards from partner projects

Auto-compounding rewards

Being deployed in 3 phases

Phase 2 not yet public

Superfluid liquidity - can generate fees from liquidity and strategies - can be internal and external to the protocol

$400 million in ChainLink liquidity $LINK

No having to decide between fees from trading or staking

Chip on their shoulder from having been the first and forgotten

Partners can also insure their own tokens to compensate for IL protection

Mission: DeFi EP 43 - Matt West: Engineer, Yearn Strategist, & Solidity dev running for Congress @mattdwest Mar 01, 2022

We've got one shot to make sure we have the right Congress for #DeFi and Matt West couldn't be more crypto native. He's the right candidate at the right time and all of crypto should be backing his candidacy against an anti-crypto candidate.

We cover Matt's background as an Intel engineer and more importantly as a Yearn strategist / Solidity developer and his background from the earliest days of bitcoin. We couldn't get a more pure crypto candidate than Matt West.

What are his chances?

What is his district like?

Why is he running this crazy race at this crazy time?

How he plans to win.

What issues are important.

and much more.

Matt is a delight and he deserves our support. I'd like to see an entire Congress filled with scientists and engineers.

Mission: DeFi EP 42 - Beanstalk Farms 2 - Creating a better stablecoin model - their progress, growth, lessons learned, big hairy vision, & what's next @Beanstalkfarms $BEAN Feb 28, 2022

One of the things I like to do with projects is to check in and see how things are going and the team at Beanstalk in the few months since our first interview has made amazing success. They've seen tremendous growth in every aspect of the project from team size to volume and much more and they've had great success with their tokenomics keeping $BEAN to peg. We discuss with Publius why they think things have gone so well, the lessons they've learned, and we discuss where they want to be short and long term. We also cover the value to investors in the protocol and the different ways they can earn and how they hope to make it even better in the future. This is a team firing on all cylinders and trying to create a truly decentralized project. It will be very interesting to see how they grow in the future.

EP 41 - Emma Jane Mackinnon Lee of Digitalax is driven to decentralize fashion in Web3 & then the rest of the world Feb 11, 2022

I interview a lot of amazing founders, but I haven't encountered very many as brilliant, driven, and mission-based as Emma Jane Mackinnon. She's driving her project Digitalax to transform the fashion industry with a powerful Web3 platform that empowers designers and the rest of the fashion ecosystem to leverage decentralization, DAOs, and the creativity into a powerful economic force. If you can't tell, I am blown away by what she brings to the table and where her ultimate vision goes and I am enthralled by the sheer number of people that had never been involved with crypto or DeFi or Web3 in just a few months. Charismatic and brilliant on a mission can be unstoppable and I don't think she can be stopped and fashion is really just phase 1 for her.

This is a must listen/view podcast because it is about transforming an industry, but also because it is about transforming the world and the platform and approach she is taking is one everyone in DeFi should consider, because it just makes sense for everyone involved.

DeFi Lunch (Ep 51) - December 17, 2021 - We're Forked Fund Dec 17, 2021

Today we started discussing our idea for the We're Forked Fund. More to come on this, but essentially an index for investing in OlympusDAO forks. This is an investment club and we won't make any revenue from it, but is just for fun. Do not put more money in this than you can afford to lose. These are the riskiest of investments and we expect that we will lose money on these.

Heesh, Rob, and other members of the team have met in person

Leading in the community is a big part of their mission and they reach out to new projects to help them.

They understand wanting to grow Fantom is important for them and all of Fantom.

They have to build trust with projects and it is difficult to look into each project to make sure there are no issues. They feel like the responsibility is very important.

Nick and Sid handle a lot of the due diligence

Try to get them to dox to them to meet them and get to know.

First project together was an NFT project called NFDoge

That was how they learned what each member of the team was good at and what roles they would have

Canceled the project and moved on to Spirit

Great lessons about getting to know each other and starting on a simple project first. Fail and then move on.

If you start small and can have limited success and move your community over

They did want to move into a hedge fund / asset management and worked on planning that.

Then they saw from that what was missing on Fantom and decided to build a dex

Discussed how Nick helped them create an operational plan and think about what they are building.

Bridging Traditional and Decentralized FinanceHis background as a quant and manager in trade for wealthy individuals and then his move into ETFs.

Left Morgan Stanley in 2012 to build his own company.

Created a dividends swap market for S&P 500 based entirely on dividend value and not price.

Called it regulatory Tetris

Regulators couldn’t agree how to regulate.

He convinced them to see it as an ETF and got that product approved after 2.5 years.

Gave him an understanding of the process, but learned that the ETF market wasn’t right market for a product like that.

Then he started realizing that crypto and blockchain were perfect for what he was trying to do.

Start a quant hedge fund using their own money and others to actually make money. Started with their money first in order to learn more and be in more.

Was for people not going to manage it themselves.

Started Blockforce capital in 2016 with his own money and then in 2019 took on outside money.

Relates how they invested and managed money. Not a portfolio building fund. More about actively trading and leveraging all kinds of metrics in the market.

Truly wanted to offer a hedge fund like return rather than just a portfolio strategy.

What it was like when he made the move out of trade into crypto in 2016. They did it all in stealth mode. “How can we get ourselves out of the ETF business as fast as possible”.

Why he thinks the idea of a Bitcoin ETF is as silly as an IBM ETF and is completely unnecessary when direct access or via a fund is superior.

Access for all is his mantra.

ETF industry takes a couple of billion to break even and then in a hedge fund about $30 million.

Discussed how they tried to do an acquisition to ramp up faster and it failed at the last minute.

Didn’t market the hedge fund. Just had word of mouth spread the word. At the end of 2020 they rebooted onramp as a stand alone firm.

Major investors like Softbank, Coinbase, & Gemini all investors.

Sizable fund with great performance and gives them an opportunity to try new things, etc.

How they came up with and built a platform for onramping financial advisors.

No way to easily create accounts for clients. Coinbase asked him to build it.

How May of 2021 was the iPhone market for crypto and they were able to now let anyone create via their system and access it via their existing investment accounts at TD, etc.

How they are now going to move into DeFi projects with self-custody, but allowing advisors to manage for them.

Providing EAT - Education, Access, and Tools

We discussed what it is like for advisors to see what is available in crypto and how powerful it can be.

His thoughts on where we are with regulators and the btc ETF.

How amazing the process was integrating what they offer with a DAO as a product to launch.

Show Notes

600 million Frax in circulation and growing 10s of millions weekly
FPI ships in late November/early december
Frax dollar pegged stablecoin
FPI CPI plus inflation factor.

How the Frax Price Index works.

Treasury system and high yielding stablecoin system
Similar to OHM, but no bonds
No bonds = partner with Olympus

FPI stablecoins
FXS governance vfxs Frax FXS airdrop

Frax stablecoin algo fractional
Targets the exchange rate of coins out in the open market
Frax expands or contracts in different protocols

Curve LP tokens earning a yields
Frax supply needs to contract
Burns the supply

Depending on the market
Exactly
Dai using the same model
LAMM Lending AMM
#AllRoadsLeadToFrax

The emotions around having MakerDao copy explicitly how Frax works.

Other things that they've developed that others will use at other stablecoins
Uniswap v3

Regulatory
USDC USDT
Tradfi collateralized
Paper behind
No link with tradfi collateral

What keeps you up at night about FRAX?

FPI is the 2nd stablecoin in Frax

Why not fractional Euros, etc?

Bitcoin/Ethereum sized play
Originally had thought Frax might decouple

His thoughts on OHM
Reserve currency.

FPI not rebasing or bonds
Stake for more rewards in FPI
High yield stablecoin

What CPI is:
2 types of food
% of what is spent on each
index doubles it the next month
Dollar is supposed to track the exchange of those items is supposed to lose 2.5% per year.

The dollar should track the CPI

Why not create that in a crypto native system
Bring the CPI on chain.
Chainlink CPI once per month

How the inflationary aspects of the CPI are both good and bad.
Creates growth, but hyper consumer society, so harms lower income members of society.

FPI uses an onchain version of the CPI oracle for Chainlink and that will drive part of the algorithm for

Do you think we will improve upon that?
Stablecoin algo adjusted in supply to track this oracle.

The best currency is the one that keeps it constant
Flat coin
Increase your standard of living.
Constant purchasing power.

Relationship between Frax/FPI
Talking to FEI

Joey Santorum from FEI on the show

What has to happen for FPI to get to 1 trillion?
Slow and boring
People won't notice or care
Sitting there

Ecosystem of applications in DeFi/IRL that are using it?

Big picture vision
Application in real life
Make the world a better place

Show Notes

Finance as undergrad
Tech background
2017 -2018
Experiment with blockchain

Started working with blockchain with large companies in Germany.
Started working in finance and had a bad experience.

Gnosis - Got to know the team and worked on a project for them called DutchX to fill large orders. Were tasked to help firms automatically place / start large auctions so that projects could sell tokens over time rather than in a large ICO.

Required an external impulse to execute the transaction.
The problem is, you have to approve transactions, so automation wasn't possible like you would in tradfi or banks couldn't be done.

So decided to build a solution to solve the problem for all of crypto.
Received a grant from Gnosis and then built the platform.
Most widely used projects using them. Zerion, instadapp, MakerDAO, and many others using for 1000s of transactions per day.

Discussed how it works.
Client that accepts the jobs needed and then runs them for them.
Set conditions.

What the future holds.
What they would like to see happen.

Whether he thinks they will have a model that will let consumers create their own automations using Gelato.

Show Notes

How he got started and became the Global Blockchain Leader at EY

How he got into blockchain and EY

While at IBM:
Talked about connected devices like light bulbs and how their clients were selling them and they were losing money from cloud services.
So they decided on blockchain and spoke to Vitalik Buterin about it.
That project convinced him that blockchain was all he wanted to work on. IBM wasn't interested, but EY was.

He laid the groundwork for EY, that it was going to go up and down and needed them to stay with it whenever it goes down or up.

He got a 5-10 year commitment from them 5 years ago.

Polygon partnership is a direct outcome from that investment over the ups and downs.

How large companies get excited about things and expect big revenue and then realize they have to wait or call it a failure.

How he really set expectations.

How they decided what EY would be doing in blockchain

Went through a large number of options.
Had a blank sheet
Were going to focus on external, not internal.

Most difficult decision was private or public blockchains and decided that public was only way, but that privacy of what they do is critical. They need privacy in their competition. Cannot be open on chain.

Didn't think that private would ever work so they adopted Public - but.

They decided on Ethereum and to be the best at Ethereum.

They decided to invest heavily in privacy. Hired researchers and cryptographers.

Could only choose 1 platform. Decided couldn't mess with any others and he thinks it paid off.

How he had to convince partners at EY to give away millions of dollars in research as open source.

Nightfall

Had to protect the actual transaction and then also make sure that the asset and transfer are private and then they are working on Starlight which allows making business logic private.

Optimistic rollup with privacy and best in class costs.

Polygon partnership

Polygon approached them to deliver as one of their layer 2 solutions.
Says they are very smart about how they engineer things
Scaling support.

User experience

Fast, low cost and private.
Ecosystem of buyers and sellers.
No disclosure of transaction data.

Starlight

Zero knowledge compiler
They have prototype right now
Can tag variables that need to remain private.
Now adding more complex logic.
Now adding enterprise level logic.
Entire contract on chain for widgets and price, etc. and you couldn't see it. So private procurement agreement running privately on public blockchain.

Customer Offering

Complex applications for businesses.
Multi-party

Doing a procurement system for XBOX/Microsoft on blockchain with smart contracts. Reduces 45 day process for paying game developers to 5 minutes.

How the blockchain solves the big problem with ERP implementations and makes tx a level playing field for large and small companies.

Data flows give big guys advantage without disclosing the big player the small players data. This this is one of the key things that will drive adoption and all players meet in neutral territory.

Their Revenue Model For Blockchain

EP 18 - Making DeFi on bitcoin a full scale reality with Edan Yago of Sovryn Oct 01, 2021

For a lot of us DeFi on bitcoin isn't something we've taken seriously. Edan Yago and the rest of the team at Sovryn are ready to change those perceptions with what I see as a very serious play in the DeFi space. Their model for decentralization, stablecoins, the products they've built, the partners that are integrating, and the products being built on Sovryn OS means it should be taken very seriously. Amazing discussion that includes:

Yago's experience smuggling gold coins as a child to fight apartheid

How he built a payment system for crypto

How he built early AMM and liquidity models and shut it down before launch, because he was concerned about user security.

As a man from a family of activists, it is obvious that he is driven to make bitcoin and financial freedom a reality.

I am very excited for the potential.

Project/Guest Description: Proof of work NFT mining in the browser.

Show Notes

Andrew Parker has created a brilliant solution to the NFT minting problem currently congesting Ethereum Mainnet and causing increases in fees. Now collectors can acquire NFTs by mining them using their browser.

It is a brilliant and novel solution to a problem, but the system goes far beyond that, because it has a generative NFT engine that generates audio and animations along with unique NFTs and all minted NFTs also get the minting fees from future NFTs.

Project/Guest Description: Beanstalk is a unique new algorithmic stablecoin based conceptually on ESD, but built from scratch to avoid the problems they had. Mission driven to build the primary stablecoin for DeFi, the team is fighting to deliver a powerful protocol that is permissionless, decentralized, and censorship resistant.

Show Notes

ESD influenced
Wanted to build something
Scalability
2nd biggest opportunity decentralized algo stablecoin
ESD design fixes
Game theoretic design flaws
Became all encompassing
9 months of dev
50 days ago deployed
ESD price too high increase supply
Ground up reimagining

Collateralized Models
USDT and USDC
$100 billion in collateralized
Reliance on centralized party to administer the system

Oracle is eth / usdc and bean/usdc

DAI
Basically add value
Collateral not decentralized
Still an element of centralization with DAI
Mint DAI against the CDP
More assets backing the DAI
Capital inefficient
Locking up Ethereum isn't a great solution
High borrowing costs to use DAI
Cost prohibitive
20% borrowing costs changes math on betting markets

No premine
Works from launch
Initial 100 minted

How beanstalk works
Every hour - season
Price oracle is queried
If price too high increase supply
If price too low, then soil debt
Pods are debt bearing asset of the system
When price is below to encourage debt
Supply of soil

Behavioral econ theory built into it.

Name of Guest: Zeus

Name of Project: Olympus DAO (OHM)

Twitter URL of Guest: https://twitter.com/ohmzeus

Project Twitter URL: https://twitter.com/OlympusDAO

Project URL: https://www.olympusdao.finance/

Project/Guest Description:

Reserve currency protocol for DeFi

### Bitcoin Disappoints

Disappointment in Bitcoin and it's community can lead to amazing innovations.

Disenchanted because bitcoin kept shifting the narrative of what it was. It was no longer a currency and now was a "store of value".

Michael Saylor being a hero of Bitcoiners was a big factor. Felt like the community only cared about somebody pumping their bags.

### Turned to create something better

Ampleforth caught his eye. Found it to be super interesting

Tried to hold a $1 peg by changing holder balances to change the value

He thought it was a big innovation.

Really hard to control price in a market with all the volatility and lack of liquidity

The important thing is value

Function of price and supply

Can't control price, but can influence price with supply.

Thought that this kind of thing is what would replace bitcoin.

### Control the supply

Moderate functions of the system to influence and manifest desirable behavior of the currency.

Bond system that the system can use to influence economic behavior

Liquidity is critical to the success and that is the entire model of the system.

Bonds and how they function in Olympus DAO.

Project/Guest Description: Callan is the founder of Dragon X a DeFi platform for marketing.
Why they are a guest: I don't know of any platform like this in the market today and advertising is a critical component to success.

Background:
Freelance developer
Helped build a crypto exchange
That got him into crypto.

Problem they solve: Most crypto projects are banned from advertising. How to give them an outlet so they could gain new users that is simple and easy to use and drives users to their platforms.

Callan has always been an entrepreneur at heart and he previously started his own ad brokerage company which was the precursor to Dragon X.

Dragon X is a new marketing platform and protocol that gives DAOs, DEXs, Dapps and blockchain entrepreneurs a platform to reach new customers.

We discuss how he built the entire thing himself from scratch.

We walk through how their system works.
How projects can start generating users using the platform.
The tokenomics of the system that burns tokens when they are used for ads.

We also go deep into what it is like starting a project.
We cover the things that projects must learn to handle.

We also discuss how they will have to automatically adjust their algo price per click to adjust to the price of their token called DAX.

Today we have an epic story about the billionaire Justin Sun's takeover of the Steem network and the inside story of what it was like to be a member of the community negotiating with, fighting, and scrapping to block the takeover. It is exciting, emotional, and endlessly fascinating to hear what this was like. In the end the community lost the battle against Justin, but won the way as they built something superior in both technology and value.

Today's episode is part 1 of 2, but we cover the entire takeover story in this episode and then we cover much more about the Hive platform that came out of it in part 2.

I interviewed Dan Hensley and Matt Starkers two guys that were on the frontlines of the battle, because they'd spent years building their own platform on top of Steem and had invested their time and money in making it better. They weren't about to give up without a fight.

Dan and Matt are the founders of 3Speak an uncensorable video platform built on the Hive blockchain and they are leaders in their community.

Visit 3speak.tv to learn more about them, what they are building, and how to get in touch.

Geyser provides liquidity as a service, but their new modular system could be a game changer for all of #DeFi

Geyser is one of my favorite #DeFi tools, because it is a lego and it is an infrastructure piece and it allows anyone to use it to build something useful and launch their project, without having to deal with managing liquidity pools or yield farming.

That isn't all though, their new version could change how all projects are developed and empower developers and non-developers to create anything they can imagine.

How they deployed their token completely through their system without using code.

How their tools will allow developers to create their own interface to the pools

What goes into setting up a Liquidity Pool. What do you need to think about.

* Need LPs or funds to create your own liquidity

* Put funds into Uniswap, or Balancer, or Sushi

* Or do it from the ground up.

How they launched with only $10 in their liquidity pool

What was important to them:

1. Transparency and fully released code

2. Build strong community

3. Building robust software - Safe and future proof

Their test suite is 10 times the size of their code base. Takes 30 minutes to run a full test.

They never put any money in the LP after the $10.

No ability to edit or access the pools deployed on their platform.

Step by step how they went from $10 in liquidity to 9 figures today without putting in another dime and with a completely fair launch based on their model and nothing else.

What they've done right and what the've learned along the way.

How in their new version they've offered something more simple and for those that prefer it.

How NFTs can play in their future and other interesting use cases including NFT farming.

Finally we discuss the industry changing system they've created to make it possible for eventually anyone with or without development skills to be able to build a product or project they want to build. The possibilities are endless.
