PoolTogether Community Podcast

Alchemix provides self-repaying loans so you can spend and save at the same time. It’s truly a killer app for Defi, and I sat down with Techno to talk about the origins and the future of this web3 building block.

We talk soulbound tokens, social recovery, new product features, how you should be punished if you sold your Optimism Airdrop, and all-day discord hangouts. PS. if you like my Alchemix product pitch, be sure to hype it up in the Alchemix Discord!

You can also hear me pitch the PoolTogether Multi-Delegator Tool. If you’re a community, protocol, or NFT project, the delegation is a no-loss way to add prizes to your project!

Zapper is one of the most popular apps in Defi. It makes web3 accessible, and Seb, Chief Alpha Leaker of Zapper, walks us through what makes Zapper Zappy.

We talk UX, snooping on wallets, onboarding normies, and solving big problems in small markets aka hair on fire problems.

Zapper is also home to mythical crypto creatures: The Myrmidons of Zapper.

And since you’re reading the podcast description I’ll give you a little alpha right hurrrr: Follow Seb on Zapper, and then follow who Seb is following on Zapper. You’ll be glad you did!

This week we speak to Torgin from the PoolTogether Community. Torgin is an Auditor at Chain Security and leads Community Grants at PoolTogether.

He’s also the guy who pointed out Chainlink’s 3-of-20 multi-sig problem.

Don’t worry though, it’s 4-of-9 now!

Torgin outlines why price oracles are necessary and not ideal, how audits work, and how cheaper fees can still result in secure transactions, and how if you have enough money you can go back in time.

It’s a super deep conversation and Torgin does a great job at breaking down complex topics! Typical Pooler innit?

The Crypto Trader, Glen Goodman, joined us for a rousing discussion of bear market trading strategies. TLDR: Don’t.

Glen’s journey from journalist to trader is an inspiring story and he shares it with the PoolTogether Community. What to do, what not to do, and what to do with your spare time: Glen shares his advice on trading, life, and the future of crypto.

And though Glen couldn’t tell us about his next book, I really think that I was able to squeeze out the alpha, but as always, you’ll have to listen to hear if that’s really true.

You can learn more about Glen and grab his bestseller on his website.

Of course, none of this is financial advice!
