Episode notes

This chapter traces Daniel's journey from Ethereum ICO to Bitcoin and DeFi, leading to the creation of Swell with a focus on introducing yield-bearing instruments. It highlights the shift to LRT within eigenlayer's ecosystem, discussing the integration of LST as restaking collateral, incentives for restakers, and the launch of their native LRT Arsuith. Swell's competitive advantage, ecosystem-first approach, risk management strategies, and plans for RTG preparation, governance, and community engagement are also explored in-depth.

Welcome to the LRT episode, covering the entire playing field of liquid restaking projects and what makes each one unique and special.

On the show we have representatives from Ion, Ether.fi, Puffer, Kelp, Swell and Renzo making this your one stop to go from zero to expert on the restaking landscape.
