AJ is a Founding Contributor at Silo Finance. In this Quick Hit, we guide you through Silo Finance's risk-isolated money markets. Silo is a DeFi protocol on Ethereum and Arbitrum where isolated lending and borrowing pools can be created for individual tokens. This approach is different from the shared pool design of Aave and Compound, which means long tail assets can be listed while lenders can potentially earn higher yields lending to these markets. With over $300M in liquidity across its Ethereum, Llama (crvUSD markets on Ethereum), and Arbitrum markets, AJ shares how this design can provide us more control and opportunity as DeFi lenders and borrowers, as well as future plans for Silo V2 including the implementation of veSILO tokenomics. ------ 🔗 Essential Show Links 🔗 ► Subscribe on Youtube: https://youtube.com/@defidad ► Subscribe on Apple: https://tinyurl.com/edgepod ► Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/edgepodspotify ► Subscribe on Linktree: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod ► Follow DeFi Dad: https://twitter.com/DeFi_Dad ► Follow Nomatic: https://twitter.com/Nomaticcap ► Learn about DeFi and Web3: http://defidad.com/ ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources 🥩 ETHER.FI | LIQUID STAKING AND RESTAKING ALL-IN-ONE 🥑 INSTADAPP | THE NEW AVOCADO WALLET AND MULTISIG 🦊 METAMASK PORTFOLIO | TRACK AND MANAGE YOUR WEB3 EVERYTHING 🙋‍♀️ Interested to sponsor The Edge Podcast?

Guy Young is the Founder and CEO of Ethena Labs. In this episode, we discuss Ethena launching one of the highest stablecoin real yields in DeFi and how it's built with staked ETH. Ethena aims to offer a permissionless dollar-denominated savings instrument in the form of a delta-neutral synthetic dollar, that's stable, value-accruing, and scalable--what they refer to as the “Internet Bond."
