Today we are talking cross margining and a game changing vault on Solana brought to you by the team at marginfi. marginfi has been making waves lately with their much anticipated new vault so I had to have Anders from the team on to find out more details. Not to bury the lead, in their tests their vault was returning triple digit non incentivized returns. If that perks your ears up, listen on!

Today we are talking privacy technology with Nico from Elusiv. Given the recent news of Tornado Cash being sanctioned privacy tech has never been under more pressure so I wanted to speak with Nico to hear his take on what Elusiv is doing to be compliant and provide users with strong privacy as well as to see how he envisions the brewing privacy battle playing out moving forward.

I’ve got something a bit different for you today, I’m having a conversation with Phil from FRAKT. FRAKT is a unique project on Solana focused on borrowing and lending NFTs, making illiquid jpegs much more liquid. It was a pleasure to have Phil to dive into a world where I haven’t had the chance to look into much previously.
