The Edge Podcast DeFi.App Reimagines A DeFi-Native Robinhood
Dan Greer is the CoFounder at Defi.App.
In this episode, we discuss Dan's vision to simplify the user experience in decentralized finance, offering a Robinhood-style onchain platform. He shares his insights on the importance of creating a centralized exchange-like UX while maintaining the benefits of self-sovereignty and decentralization, complete with KYC-less access and next-gen trading tools like Hyperliquid perps. Plus, more on their upcoming mobile app (currently in beta) and their AI integration designed to assist users in perps trading.
