Episode notes

Aave and lens are, you know, I can see a world where they overlap in that if lens can at some point be used as some sort of like decentralized identity solution. Stony: "I think this is pretty far out on the timeline if ever possible" But it's an interesting idea down the line for sure. Aave: "We really build lens from the perspective of how to make internet more people powered"

Stani Kulechov joins us to discuss how Aave and Lens are building scalable primitives to accelerate crypto's adoption curve. We explore crypto's killer app, why decentralized social matters, how the Momoca DA layer scales Lens, the incentives behind building GHO and more!

And as usual, we start the episode with our analyst bullpen to discuss Coinbase's new subscription product, Lido exit liquidity games and Curve's LLAMA lending protocol.
