Argent is the closet thing we've seen to a mainstream ready bankless wallet. Is this crypto's Netscape moment?
Ryan & David sit down with Itamar the co-founder of Argent to find out. Coming off a big week of releases, Itamar tells us how DeFi's almost reached parity with traditional finance, hasn't quite found product market fit in developed countries, but why he's incredibly bullish about the future.
