This week I sat down with Jonathan Caras, Head of Communications for Levana Protocol, a perpetual swap protocol deployed in the Cosmos ecosystem. We discuss the launch and future of Levana and dissected the ins-and-outs of DeFi yield, perpetual swap fees, and user strategies deployed on Levana. We also break down aspects of Levana's white paper, and discuss Jonathan's take on how the appchain thesis has failed.
