Creating a credit facility using protocol treasury

Luke Youngblood is the Founder of Moonwell and Mamo.

In this episode, Luke shares what opportunity he sees ahead for Base builders and users, as one of the earliest DeFi founders on Coinbase's Ethereum L2. We explore Coinbase’s vision for integrating Base into its retail products, including DeFi mullet style products like the new USDC lending on Morpho. He even drops insights on the future Base token, and how projects like Moonwell and Mamo are positioned to benefit from this economic stimulus to serve even more of Coinbase's customers coming onchain.
