The Blockchain Show

Ethan speaks with Daniel from Anchor, a stable currency and financial standard that aims to preserve and enhance the value of investor holdings.

The currency is further protected from inflation and volatility by a two-token system that incentivizes validators to mint and burn tokens to keep the value at the MMU.
