Tenderize is a liquid staking protocol pioneering a new approach that they call Liquid staking 2.0. According to Head Chef Alec Shaw, the goal is twofold:

1. To protect against the centralizing forces of traditional liquid staking.
2. To activate liquid staking for longer tail assets

To set the stage for our discussion, Alec helps us to understand:

• What is Liqud Staking?
• What are its benefits and drawbacks?
• What are the problems with existing Liquid Staking Protocols?

For the founders, we discuss:

• Go-to-market strategy
• Building a reputation and establishing trust in your project and brand
• How they structured version 1 as a security proof of concept (and how it helped them establish the Lindy Effect).
• The benefits and drawbacks of founder/team doxxing
• Team size and structure
• How they are structuring V2 and beyond to build on this foundation
