In today's episode we speak with Rex Hygate, CEO & Founder of DeFi Safety. Rex has an extensive background in risk and quality control from his time spent in the aerospace industry and is bringing many of those principles to the DeFi industry having reviewed over 250+ protocols, across 15+ chains and 25,000+ smart contracts. Hacks and scams are holding back the industry and the work Rex and DeFi Safety team are doing will help the industry mature and grow beyond its current footprint.
