The Edge Podcast

Cooper Scanlon and Rushi Manche are CoFounders at Movement Labs. In this episode, we discuss how Movement Labs is helping to solve the cold start problem for non-EVM blockchains such as Aptos and Sui. Having recently come out of stealth, Movement Labs is building a modular framework to build and deploy Move-based infrastructure, applications, and blockchains in any distributed environment. If they're successful, Movement could be a huge catalyst to onboarding a global community of Move builders working to build new decentralized blockchain networks. ------ 🔗 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 ⚖️ KYBERSWAP | DEX AGGREGATOR, AMM, AND KYBER AI TRADING ANALYTICS 🥑 INSTADAPP | THE NEW AVOCADO SMART CONTRACT WALLET ⛩️ UTOPIA | PAYROLL AND EXPENSE MANAGEMENT FOR DAOS 🙋‍♀️ Interested to sponsor The Edge Podcast?

Crouguer and Kmets are anonymous core contributors at AladdinDAO, which created f(x) Protocol. In this episode, we cover the newest ETH purist stablecoin and leverage tokens, fETH and xETH by f(x) Protocol. Over the last few years, many have learned how unreliable it is holding stablecoins backed by fiat currencies in a sovereign banking system. The team at AladdinDAO have recently launched a new protocol which splits ETH into a mix of low volatility floating stablecoins called fETH and high volatility leverage ETH tokens called xETH. The net result is marrying the needs of those who want a stablecoin that is stable, reliable, scalable, and native to Ethereum with those who want non-liquidatable, funding-rate-free leveraged ETH exposure. Learn about the countless use cases possible with this LSTfi stablecoin and leverage token before the next bull market hits! ------ 🔗 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 ⚖️ KYBERSWAP | DEX AGGREGATOR, AMM, AND KYBER AI TRADING ANALYTICS 🥑 INSTADAPP | THE NEW AVOCADO SMART CONTRACT WALLET ⛩️ UTOPIA | PAYROLL AND EXPENSE MANAGEMENT FOR DAOS 🙋‍♀️ Interested to sponsor The Edge Podcast?

Ameeth Devadas is the CoFounder of Timeswap. In this episode, we cover how oracle-free lending and borrowing works with Timeswap.
