The Engine
Building in DeFi | Yoshua Urioste & Beachball | S1E12
The Engine is a show about building business in crypto and with crypto.
So, whether you’re already building in the space or you’re trying to understand what the whole crypto, web3, blockchain, onchain fuss is about, you’re in the right place.
This week’s topic: Building in DeFi.
We talked about:
- the current state of DeFi, the role of institutional players, and the impact of memecoins.
- the challenges of harnessing Degen energy, and the importance of building partnerships for ecosystem growth.
- the importance of transparency, security, and education in creating a safe and user-friendly environment.
- the fragmentation in the crypto ecosystem and interoperability between different chains.
- both guests are excited about the potential of Ethereum pilling the Bitcoin community. So we talked about some opportunities and challenges around that.
The guests this week:
Yoshua Urioste, aka Tenzent, Head of Business Development at Silo - a lending protocol that allows you to borrow any crypto asset with another on isolated lending markets where risk is always siloed.
Beachball is a core contributor at Synonym, which is a cross-chain money market.
