Episode notes

Aiden and Riley, the two co-founders of stride, who's bringing liquid staking to the cosmos interchange. neutron is officially live and it's the perfect place to go launch permissionless smart contracts with ease. Stride: I think cosmos social capital has about 12 months to do something unique and differentiated. Otherwise, we get swallowed by either flavored variants of the cosmos originated ideas like roll apps and eigen layer. The hour is late. You're coming your way.

We are joined by the founders of Stride - Cosmos' liquid staking zone - to discuss how LSTs will catalyze Cosmos' DeFi Summer. We discuss how Stride staking works, competition with Lido, Interchain Security, the Hub's Liquid Staking Module, Stride's upcoming features and more!

And as usual, we start the episode with our analyst bullpen to discuss the SEC's crackdown on Binance, the McHenry-Thompson crypto bill, dYdX bullishness and the Apple Vision Pro.
