Bitcoin, a financial protocol built on blockchain technology, emerged in 2009. Depending on your definition of the term, 2009 was also the birth of "decentralized finance" (DeFi). However, in 2017, MakerDAO launched, a turning point for more complex decentralized, blockchain based financial applications. This marked the start of the DeFi revolution and the birth of a more open, transparent and inclusive financial system.

Four years later and DeFi has exploded in popularity, with thousands of DeFi protocols now  allowing for borrowing, lending, and trading without a centralised third party on a massive scale. DAOs are taking up the banner and rapidly expanding in purpose and scope, fueling investments in DeFi and across Web3. But what will it take for DAOs to continue to evolve into highly effective investment vehicles and beyond?

In this episode of The Money Movement, Jeremy is joined by Ian Lee and Will Papper, Co-Founders at Syndicate Protocol.
