Episode notes

Why build another DeFi product or platform when there are already so many?

Well that is both a good question and an unfortunate problem highlighted by Ian Andrews (CMO, Chainalysis) in today’s episode as he speaks to the CEO of Tea-Fi, Matan Doyich.

Matan and his team are creating a one-stop shop for the wide variety of DeFi platforms in order to have the ability to conduct swaps, provide lending, execute decentralized trades and all the other core fundamental products of DeFi, all in one place.

Matan details Tea-Fi’s features, including its privacy-focused solutions using ZK technology and the ambitious goal of integrating lending, swaps, and synthetic assets with upcoming support for cross-chain transactions and a debit card.

He provides his insights on International regulatory scrutiny towards privacy protocols like Tornado Cash and explains why Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) could be the future of adding privacy to existing crypto solutions.
