54 min - # 18 Roxanna Danila CTO of Nexus Mutual on Building The World's First Insurance Protocol for the Decentralized Finance Space
In this episode I speak with Roxana Danila. She’s the CTO of Nexus Mutual, one of the hottest projects in the growing crypto insurance vertical.
Nexus Mutual brings insurance to the frantic Wild West world of DeFi and allows users to protect themselves against hacks and smart contracts bugs in their favourite DeFi projects, while continuing to enjoy their high interest rates.What’s interesting is that Nexus Mutual itself is also a protocol consisting of smart contracts. Nexus Mutual members pool capital together, users can then take insurance against that backdrop of capital and Nexus Mutual Members earn premiums for capitalising the Mutual. Insurance claims are equally processed by the Mutual Members as everything happens on-chain.It is a fascinating system which Roxanna explains in very simple terms.Big thanks to our sponsors:Stakewise.io: An ETH 2.0 staking provider, allowing you to stake your ETH and earn high yields on it in the most user-friendly manner

1 hr 1 min - # 14 Ravindra Kumar from Frontier on Building a Cross-Blockchain UX
In this episode I talk to Ravindra Kumar CEO at Frontier, a DeFi dashboard that lets users manage their funds across different Blockchains like Ethereum, Binance Chain, Kava, Cosmos and soon Solana.
As we are really interested in wallets and user experience in crypto, we had to talk to Ravindra to hear about how they intend to aggregate all these different protocols into one user interface.
I found out that they have a very ambitious roadmap with a special focus on the 1B large Indian market, interesting ideas on how to monetize and foster community engagement as well as plans to build their own decentralized key management solution.

In this episode we talk to Jordan Lyall Founder of the MEME protocol. MEME captures the Zeitgeist of the crypto space like no other project. It started as a joke on Twitter as Jordan was mocking the yield farming craze taking place in the DeFi space. But the joke/meme attracted a community of builders who decided to use the buzz to create somehting useful and original.
Two weeks later [dontbuymeme.com](https://dontbuymeme.com/) was born: a protocol that produces rare NFTs and requires users to lock their assets in order to receive these NFTs.Hear the incredible story behind meme, what's in the pipeline now that the dust has settled and why NFTs are exciting.Thanks to Bitwala for sponsoring the show!Get €20 after your first trade if you sign-up using our link: https://bitwala.x89scb.net/1xYMd48 min - #12 Aave CEO Stani Kulechov On Creating the Worlds First Decentralized Money Lending Market
In this episode I am talking to Stani Kulechov from Aave protocol. Aave is a lending protocol built on Ethereum. I already had a crypto lending business on the show namely Nexo but Aave is completely different. It runs on smart contracts on the Ethereum Blockchain and is completely decentralized.

We also talked about Aave’s roadmap, what he thinks about recent developments in the DeFi space and what is still missing for mainstream adoption and many more topics.Thanks to our sponsor Bitwala48 min - #11 Zerion Founder Evgeny Yurtaev on creating the Best DeFi Dashboard

46 min - #10 Ben Jones CEO of Bitwala on the future of banks in a crypto-first world
In this episode I talk to Benjamin Jones, the CEO of Bitwala. You probably know Bitwala by now as they have sponsored this podcast pretty much since the beginning. Bitwala is in a pretty unique position because they are both a bank and a crypto wallet.
They are really between the two worlds.
So I asked Ben for his thoughts on how these two worlds will co exist in the future. Because if you look at the world of Decenztralized Finance, the whole point is to remove banks. He had very interesting thoughts on this topic and how banks could adapt.
