Episode notes

The meaning of an FdV has always been a an interesting concept and like it is FdV a meme has been such a burning question. Wesley: There's reasons to think yes and reasons to think no. But at the same time, I think it's a good point that not all FdVs are created equal. And so there are ways in which sort of FdV doesn't really exist but also kind of does exist.

Sunny Aggarwal joins us to discuss how Osmosis is building the liquidity hub of Cosmos. We cover why Osmosis launched CosmWasm, how the ProtoRev module captures MEV, why Osmosis turned on the fee switch, the future of active vs passive liquidity provision, the AEZ growth strategy, ICS vs Mesh Security and more!

And as usual, we start the episode with our analyst bullpen to discuss why all FDVs aren't created equal, the end of PFP NFTs, Coinbase ETF news, Rob Leshner's new venture and more!
