Robinson Burkey is the CoFounder of Wormhole Foundation.
In this episode, we spotlight Wormhole, the interoperability platform for Web3. Following the recent announcement of their native token W and its tokenomics, we interview Robinson about the role Wormhole is playing in the future of interoperable DeFi, how theyโre helping solve for liquidity fragmentation, and how they plan to further scale the protocol while remaining secure and decentralized.
