A Guide to Silo Finance’s Risk-Isolated Money Markets | Quick Hit
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.

Mantle: The Ethereum L2 for Top Native Yields
Jordi Alexander is the Chief Alchemist at Mantle and Chief Investment Officer at Selini Capital.
In this episode, we explore Mantle, the Ethereum L2 designed for top native yields. Mantle is self-described as a product-centric L2, less focused on scaling tech and more on building and hosting the best DeFi and Web3 apps. Jordi reveals all sorts of alpha including how to play the upcoming airdrop season on Mantle, how to master their native yield products such as mETH, and how Mantle is using it's massive multibillion-dollar ETH treasury to grow.

Is Ethena About To Create The Highest Stablecoin Real Yield in DeFi?
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." We explore how users will soon be able to deposit decentralized collateral such as stETH to mint USDe, stake USDe, and earn an embedded yield that's netting beta users 25-30% APY.

io.net: The World's Largest GPU DePIN Built on Solana
Ahmad Shadid is the Founder/CEO of io.net and Tory Green is the COO/CFO.
In this episode, we review into the world's largest GPU DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure network) called io.net! This state-of-the-art decentralized computing network built on Solana is a great example to get us introduced to the fast-growing DePIN sector of crypto.
With the rise of AI and the growing demand for more GPUs in the public cloud, obtaining access to distributed computing resources presents several challenges including limited availability, rising costs, and a lack of choice. Ahmad and Tory teach us how io.net solves for these problems by aggregating GPUs from underutilized sources into an Airbnb-like marketplace to share and access massive amounts of computing power.
