| A Guide to Silo Finance’s Risk-Isolated Money Markets | Quick Hit | 01 Jan 2024 | 00:34:16 | |

Crouguer and Kmets are anonymous core contributors at AladdinDAO, which created f(x) Protocol.

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

If Timeswap is successful, we could see tens of thousands of lending and borrowing markets emerge for long tail assets vs the top 20 or so assets that get support from the likes of Maker and Aave. ------ ► Subscribe on Youtube: https://youtube.com/@defidad ► Follow DeFi Dad: https://twitter.com/DeFi_Dad ------ ⚖️ KYBERSWAP | DEX AGGREGATOR, AMM, AND KYBER AI TRADING ANALYTICS 🏗️ 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 🙋♀️ Interested to sponsor The Edge Podcast?

| Pendle Finance: A Guide to DeFi Yield Trading Strategies | 11 Aug 2023 | 00:54:01 | |
TN Lee is the CoFounder of Pendle Finance and a CoFounding member of Kyber Network.
In this episode, we explain Pendle Finance and provide a rare guide to DeFi yield trading strategies within the increasingly popular protocol. Pendle was a breakout star in DeFi during the doldrums of the crypto bear market, and if you listen to the ethos behind TN Lee, you'll soon understand why. Pendle aims to reimagine the traditional finance interest derivative market, worth over $400 trillion in notional value, but instead as a trustless DeFi money lego, where anyone with a crypto wallet can execute yield strategies such as earning fixed yield or longing the stETH yield rate.
We would highly recommend watching the podcast here on Youtube for rich visual examples, which brings many of these yield trading strategies to life with screensharing on the Pendle app.

| Ether.fi's ETH Staking Loyalty Program, Ether.fan | Quick Hit | 13 Jul 2023 | 00:46:21 | |
Mike Silagadze is the Founder and CEO of EtherFi. In this Quick Hit, we review EtherFi's Ethereum staking loyalty program: Ether.fan. EtherFi is a newer ETH liquid staking protocol launched in 2023 with a novel twist called their Early Adopter Program, which led the protocol to quickly attract $40M in staked ETH within the first 2 months on Ethereum Mainnet. EtherFi is the only ETH liquid staking protocol where stakers retain control of their keys, which means that even if the protocol gets attacked or if the node operators get shut down, you can always get your ETH back. We talked with Mike about their hugely successful ETH staking loyalty program Ether.fan where you get rewarded the longer you stake, by minting a provably rare NFT to earn boosted staking rewards. ------ THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION OR ENDORSEMENT TO BUY ANY TOKEN(S) RELATED TO ANY PLATFORM(S) DISCUSSED. ------ 🔎 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 ------ ⚖️ KYBERSWAP | DEX AGGREGATOR, AMM, AND AI-POWERED TRADING ANALYTICS POWERED BY KYBER AI 🏗️ 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 🏢 PARCL | TRADE YOUR FAVORITE CITIES WITH REAL ESTATE SYNTHETICS 🚜 OETH BY ORIGIN DEFI | AN INNOVATIVE ETH YIELD TOKEN LEVERAGING LEADING LSTS AS COLLATERAL 🚀 LIQUITY | UNSTOPPABLE ETH-BACKED STABLECOINS AND LEVERAGE 🙋♀️ Interested to sponsor The Edge Podcast?

| Stader's New Ethereum LST, ETHx | Quick Hit | 10 Jul 2023 | 00:38:11 | |
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. ------ THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION OR ENDORSEMENT TO BUY ANY TOKEN(S) RELATED TO ANY PLATFORM(S) DISCUSSED. ------ 🔎 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 ------ ⚖️ 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?

| Can Stacks Scale Bitcoin? | 07 Jul 2023 | 00:53:25 | |
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.
