This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Mark Jackson, the founder of Microtick - a short term options and decentralized price oracle for DeFi built on Tendermint. We have discussed Mark's career journey, his work with exchanges, options, liquidity, price discovery, price manipulation, project values and coding using punch cards.
The goal of the Microtick project’s is to provide a globally agreed upon, real-time consensus price - without requiring direct financial coupling to any underlying asset. The project is built on decentralized blockchain technology and the game-theoretical foundation of Schelling points.
