Joe Cawley and Brad Nickel cover the DeFi news of the day, new opportunities in the space including liquidity pools, yield farming, staking, and much more.  

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.

Project founders are consumed with managing liquidity and the bribes required to make it real. From the beginning Paladin has built projects to make that better and easier and their new product Quest takes it to a whole new level by making it easier and better for projects and users. Learn how it works and learn how it can benefit you or a project in this episode of Mission: DeFi.

More audacious than his reputation, Sun has an even riskier approach to U.S. and Chinese financial regulations — and is often trying to evade them.

Will his rule bending and dangerous behavior finally catch up to him? Or will he get away once again?
