Background and motivation for starting Shadow

Alvin and Emily, founders of Shadow, share their background and their journey that led them to start working on Shadow. They talk about their experience working together as siblings and their previous roles at Airbnb. They explain how they got involved in the DeFi space and their desire to contribute something meaningful to the ecosystem. They initially started with the idea of building a unified DeFi API but realized the challenges of dealing with incomplete and incorrect on-chain data. This led them to develop the concept of Shadow, a proof of concept that gained more traction and became the main focus of their work.
