Thank you to our sponsor, MultiChain Advisors!The beef between Solana dapps Jupiter and Kamino has taken a new dimension as Kamino has accused Jupiter of lying about contagion risks.

In this episode of Uneasy Money, hosts Kain Warwick, Luca Netz and Taylor Monahan dive into whether Jupiter misled users and raise questions about Kamino's response.

Plus, after Tarun Chitra’s paper on Hyperliquid’s ADL, they dig deep into the exchange’s design: did they cause unnecessary liquidations on Oct. 10?

At the same time, they break down Lighter's 0% fees model. Does it resemble Robinhood? And how smart is it actually?

Plus, what Farcaster's big pivot means for the future of Web3 social, and what Taylor says it would take to crack it.

Hosts:

Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins
Kain Warwick, Founder of Infinex and Synthetix
Taylor Monahan, Security at MetaMask
