The Edge Podcast

Amit Gajjala is the CoFounder of Stader Labs. In this Quick Hit, we review ETHx, Stader's new Ethereum LST just in time for its official launch today. Since 2021, Stader has developed 6 liquid staking solutions for Proof of Stake networks, including Polygon, BSC, Hedera, Fantom, and Near and once held just under $1B in staked LUNA prior to the collapse of UST. As a multichain liquid staking protocol, Stader spent the crypto bear market developing their flagship Ethereum LST--ETHx. Given our previous coverage of Ethereum liquid staking such as Rocket Pool, we discuss and dissect why Stader opted for a hybrid design with both permissionless and permissioned node operators and why they believe it's the best model for scalable decentralized liquid staking. We also break down what we need to know as ETH LST holders who might hold ETHx vs potential node operators who can bond as little as 4 ETH (plus 0.4 ETH of SD tokens) to run an ETHx validator. ------ 📺 If you prefer video, watch episodes of The Edge Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNzMl-Xdbc4YfQcYdy96wgTAWoMr-3b-j THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION OR ENDORSEMENT TO BUY ANY TOKEN(S) RELATED TO ANY PLATFORM(S) DISCUSSED. ------ 🌲 LINKTREE FOR THE EDGE PODCAST: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod 🔎 DISCOVER DEFI & WEB3 BLOG POSTS, PODCASTS, TUTORIALS: http://defidad.com/ ✅ FOLLOW DEFI DAD ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/DeFi_Dad ✅ FOLLOW NOMATIC ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Nomaticcap ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources ⚖️ KYBERSWAP | DEX AGGREGATOR, AMM, AND AI-POWERED TRADING ANALYTICS POWERED BY KYBER AI 🏢 PARCL | TRADE YOUR FAVORITE CITIES WITH REAL ESTATE SYNTHETICS 🚜 OETH BY ORIGIN DEFI | AN INNOVATIVE ETH YIELD TOKEN LEVERAGING LEADING LSTS AS COLLATERAL 🏗️ MANTLE | HIGH-PERFORMANCE ETHEREUM L2 WITH MODULAR DESIGN, LOW FEES, AND HIGH SECURITY 🥑 INSTADAPP | THE NEW AVOCADO SMART CONTRACT WALLET ⛩️ UTOPIA | PAYROLL AND EXPENSE MANAGEMENT FOR DAOS 🚀 LIQUITY | UNSTOPPABLE ETH-BACKED STABLECOINS AND LEVERAGE 🥩 ETHER.FI | DECENTRALIZED AND NON-CUSTODIAL ETHEREUM STAKING PROTOCOL 🙋‍♀️ Interested to sponsor The Edge Podcast?

Muneeb Ali is the Co-Creator of Stacks. In this episode, we discuss whether Stacks can scale Bitcoin. Stacks can be thought of as a Bitcoin layer for smart contracts to build decentralized applications. Muneeb guides us through everything you need to know as a new DeFi user on Stacks, including the hot debate over whether Stacks is an L2 or not, how to earn BTC by stacking STX, and the massive Nakamoto upgrade which will enable trustless bridging of native BTC from the Bitcoin network directly to Stacks L2. 🙏 Thank you for your patience with Muneeb's audio. He had unfortunate challenges with his airpods recording and despite countless hours trying to improve it, we decided it was better to still publish this podcast. ------ 📺 If you prefer video, watch episodes of The Edge Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNzMl-Xdbc4YfQcYdy96wgTAWoMr-3b-j THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION OR ENDORSEMENT TO BUY ANY TOKEN(S) RELATED TO ANY PLATFORM(S) DISCUSSED. ------ 🌲 LINKTREE FOR THE EDGE PODCAST: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod 🔎 DISCOVER DEFI & WEB3 BLOG POSTS, PODCASTS, TUTORIALS: http://defidad.com/ ✅ FOLLOW DEFI DAD ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/DeFi_Dad ✅ FOLLOW NOMATIC ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Nomaticcap ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources ⚖️ KYBERSWAP | DEX AGGREGATOR, AMM, AND AI-POWERED TRADING ANALYTICS POWERED BY KYBER AI 🏢 PARCL | TRADE YOUR FAVORITE CITIES WITH REAL ESTATE SYNTHETICS 🚜 OETH BY ORIGIN DEFI | AN INNOVATIVE ETH YIELD TOKEN LEVERAGING LEADING LSTS AS COLLATERAL 🏗️ MANTLE | HIGH-PERFORMANCE ETHEREUM L2 WITH MODULAR DESIGN, LOW FEES, AND HIGH SECURITY 🥑 INSTADAPP | THE NEW AVOCADO SMART CONTRACT WALLET ⛩️ UTOPIA | PAYROLL AND EXPENSE MANAGEMENT FOR DAOS 🚀 LIQUITY | UNSTOPPABLE ETH-BACKED STABLECOINS AND LEVERAGE 🥩 ETHER.FI | DECENTRALIZED AND NON-CUSTODIAL ETHEREUM STAKING PROTOCOL 🌊 STADER | MULTICHAIN LIQUID STAKING 🙋‍♀️ Interested to sponsor The Edge Podcast?

Stani Kulechov is the Founder of Aave and Lens protocols. In this episode of The Edge Podcast, we interview this legendary DeFi founder. Having built Aave into one of the world's largest DeFi protocols with an all-time high of $30B TVL, Stani made the bold move in 2021 to jumpstart another wildly challenging Web3 startup that would deliver a self-sovereign alternative to social media–called Lens. Lens is a decentralized composable social layer.

Roby John is the CoFounder and CEO of SuperGaming. In this episode of The Edge Podcast, we interview the founder of the "Epic Games of India," SuperGaming. Roby explains how India's population of 1.4 billion with 450 million gamers playing battle royale games, and the most accessible cheap internet in the world has delivered the perfect storm for India to be the epicenter of the next gaming boom! When you talk with Roby, it feels like his career has been building towards this moment. Once a founder of an educational software startup, and now a repeat builder of the most downloaded games in India, their upcoming Indo-futuristic game called Indus is poised to deliver a gaming franchise that celebrates Indian culture by "building the Wakanda of India." Having recently met with Apple's Tim Cook during his widely publicized visit to India, Roby is the perfect guide to help us understand why India could become the center of the gaming universe and how SuperGaming, with 200 million users across its games, is implementing Web3 into games like Tower Conquest: Metaverse Edition. ------ 📺 If you prefer video, watch episodes of The Edge Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNzMl-Xdbc4YfQcYdy96wgTAWoMr-3b-j THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION OR ENDORSEMENT TO BUY ANY TOKEN OR NFT RELATED TO ANY PLATFORMS DISCUSSED. ------ 🌲 LINKTREE FOR THE EDGE PODCAST: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod 🔎 DISCOVER DEFI & WEB3 BLOG POSTS, PODCASTS, TUTORIALS: http://defidad.com/ ✅ FOLLOW DEFI DAD ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/DeFi_Dad ✅ FOLLOW NOMATIC ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Nomaticcap ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources 🏗️ MANTLE | HIGH-PERFORMANCE ETHEREUM L2 WITH MODULAR DESIGN, LOW FEES, AND HIGH SECURITY https://linktr.ee/mantle.xyz ⚖️ KYBERSWAP | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR AND AMM https://kyberswap.com/ 📈 GTRADE | DECENTRALIZED LEVERAGE TRADING https://gains.trade/ 🥑 INSTADAPP | CHECK OUT THE NEW AVOCADO SMART CONTRACT WALLET https://avocado.instadapp.io/ ⛩️ UTOPIA | PAYROLL AND EXPENSE MANAGEMENT FOR DAOS https://www.utopialabs.com/ 🌊 STADER | MULTICHAIN LIQUID STAKING https://staderlabs.com/ 🚀 LIQUITY | UNSTOPPABLE ETH-BACKED STABLECOINS AND LEVERAGE https://www.liquity.org/ 🙋‍♀️ Interested to sponsor The Edge Podcast?
