Samyak Jain is the CoFounder of Instadapp. In this episode of The Edge Podcast, we interview one of the earliest and most respected builders in DeFi. Sam and his brother Sowmay Jain have an epic story to tell going back to 2019, when they won an ETHGlobal hackathon building what is now known as Instadapp. Instadapp is a rich platform for both users and developers to leverage the full potential of DeFi. With Instadapp, you have access to the most powerful flashloan recipes allowing users to create leveraged positions and move them across the most popular DeFi protocols, in just a few clicks. Since 2018, Instadapp has been trusted with as much as $13B in value deposited at once in its smart contracts. Today, we discuss their latest innovation--Avocado, a smart contract wallet enabling what's known as network abstraction, gas abstraction, and account abstraction. Buckle up because this podcast is packed with new information that you won't find elsewhere, about the future of Instadapp and DeFi! ------ ๐บ To watch this episode of The Edge Podcast on Youtube with Sam's demo of Avocado, go to: https://www.youtube.com/@defidad THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION OR ENDORSEMENT TO BUY ANY TOKEN OR NFT RELATED TO ANY PLATFORMS DISCUSSED. ------ ๐ฒ LINKTREE FOR THE EDGE PODCAST: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod ๐ DISCOVER DEFI & WEB3 BLOG POSTS, PODCASTS, TUTORIALS: http://defidad.com/ โ FOLLOW DEFI DAD ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/DeFi_Dad โ FOLLOW NOMATIC ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Nomaticcap ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources ๐๏ธ MANTLE | HIGH-PERFORMANCE ETHEREUM L2 WITH MODULAR DESIGN, LOW FEES, AND HIGH SECURITY โ๏ธ KYBERSWAP | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR AND AMM ๐ GTRADE | DECENTRALIZED LEVERAGE TRADING โฉ๏ธ UTOPIA | PAYROLL AND EXPENSE MANAGEMENT FOR DAOS ๐ STADER | MULTICHAIN LIQUID STAKING ๐ LIQUITY | UNSTOPPABLE ETH-BACKED STABLECOINS AND LEVERAGE ๐โโ๏ธ Interested to sponsor The Edge Podcast?
