Zaki Manian is the Co-Founder of Sommelier Finance, a DeFi platform and coprocessor for the EthereumVM. Why you should listen Zaki believes that regulators can be supportive of the incredible innovation going on in the DeFi space by developing a regime of awards rather than punishments for DeFi projects that move the industry towards reasonable integration with financial safeguards that regulators are bound to pursue.

Sommelier is a bet that Ethereum will be a dominant player in the global economy. Sommelier consists of the Cosmos Stargate SDK, its Tendermint-based consensus layer, and a decentralized, bi-directional Ethereum bridge, managed by a global network of validators.

Liquidity Providers (LPs) will be able to use the Sommelier to author and execute complex, and automated financial transactions, such as portfolio rebalancing, limit orders, batched orders, as well as a host of other features that traders have come to expect from CeFi, but that are not currently available in DeFi.

Brave Wallet, a crypto wallet built into the Brave desktop browser, and mobile apps, enables Brave users to store, manage, grow, and swap crypto from a single wallet. Unlike most crypto wallets, the Brave Wallet does not require extensions; it's browser-native, reducing security risks and reliance on extra CPU and memory. Users can transact with almost any crypto asset with superior safety and performance, as well as connect with other wallets and Web3 DApps. The Brave Wallet supports all EVM compatible chains and L2s, and unlike other wallet extensions, the Brave Wallet is built with an open MPL license, enabling developers to make contributions easily. Brave believes that the crypto ecosystem should not only be open source, but should also be enabled via tools and wallets with an open license.

Brave will soon integrate the Solana blockchain into the Brave browser, providing default Solana ecosystem support to Brave's 42 million monthly active users and 1.3 million verified Creators. Brave will soon default to Solana for cross-chain and Solana native DApps.

The Solana blockchain enables faster low-fee transactions which help in the adoption of DeFi and Web3.

The SKTL Space Token Mar 21, 2022

Show notes

Cody Willard, an American investor and hedge fund manager and ex-anchor on the Fox Business Network is a co-founder of SKTLs ("Sky's The Limit"). The SKTL Space Tokens will be airdropped free-of-charge to U.S. and Canadians on May 6th, Space Day, 2022.

Why you should listen

The SKTL ERC20 token project is a cryptocurrency token for space enthusiasts. SKTL tokens are designed to capitalize on the future of the space economy while at the same time providing funds to clean up space debris. Space debris is an ever-growing problem that has the potential to severely affect the space economy and the ease of access to outer space.

Morgan Stanley predicts that the global space industry could surpass a total value of $1T by 2040. The designers of the SKTL token believe this estimate is conservative and expect the space economy to become a multi-trillion dollar economy within the next ten years and become perhaps the single largest economic revolution in history over the next decades.

There is a cloud of more than 9,000 tons of space debris flying around in space at more than 10x the speed of a bullet that poses a huge risk to satellites, rockets, and anything else needed for the space economy.

The SKTL cryptocurrency token is a smart contract that is intended to reward holders for humanity's progress in developing and exploring space while also providing a fund to help with ensuring that Space remains open to humanity. This token provides a way for token holders to benefit from the incredible potential growth that the Space economy offers while also supporting the very necessary social good of space cleanup.
