This is not financial advice. Nothing said on the show should be considered financial advice. This is just the opinions of Brad Nickel, Joe Cawley, and our guests. None of us are financial advisors. Trading, participating, yield farming, liquidity pools, and all of DeFi and crypto is high risk and dangerous. If you decide to participate, do your own research. Never count on the research of others. We don't know what we are talking about and you can lose all your money. Never invest more than you can afford to lose, because you probably will lose it all.

The Layer 3 team has delivered for the Spirit Swap community with Version 2 of their protocol, which is a complete rewrite from the ground up and a powerful new fast interface. 

More importantly though, the underlying mechanisms for users and for protocols are even more powerful with all the advantages of major protocols combined into one easy to use and optimized interface that makes all aspects of DeFi easier and more automated.

After a brutal exploit drained the value of the Bean stablecoin, many predicted that Beanstalk Farms would never recover, but a herculean and unpaid effort by the team and the community has the protocol on the path to recovery and things are looking bright for one of the most successful algortthmic stablecoins ever. 

We discussed not only what happened after the exploit, but the plan forward and amazing developments for use of the protocol inside and outside of DeFi. 

We also discussed their role as founders and what it is like balancing that role with the desire to have a completely decentralized protocol that no longer depends on Publius and how they want to make that happen.

What if you could with every trade have billions and billions of USD equivalent liquidity available to you in DeFi? My guest's platform has the ability to change how you trade in DeFi. 

In 2019 the first EVM compatible chain was born and it probably isn't one you've heard of before. Fusion was built from the ground up to perform fast, but to also deeply integrate at the encryption level cross chain functionality. This capability has now been built into a product on that chain, called Chainge and it is one of the most powerful concepts I've ever discussed on the show.

Chainge harnesses the power of their fast cross chain capabilities to give you access to the best liquidity and prices across most EVM chains. That isn't all though. They've built a powerful security model, you always have custody of your tokens, and you have access to an amazing yield generation capability that means you never have to deposit tokens into a vault or farm. 

Chainge was built to showcase the capabilities of the Fusion blockchain, but I think it has the potential to go far beyond. Both technologies deserve your closer look.
