In this episode, we’re joined by Joshua Tobkin, co-founder and CEO of Supra, to discuss Supra’s vertically integrated design, which combines smart contracts, native oracles, cross-chain communication, on-chain randomness, and native automation. The conversation also covers automation as a revenue model, MEV mitigation strategies, and the platform’s incentive structures for app developers.
