Host Tom Shaughnessy of Delphi Digital is joined by Kyle Kistner, co-founder of bZx Protocol. 

For the podcast, we try our best to locate early stage projects in the space. We noticed bZx's total value locked on DeFi pulse grew from $1M in September to near $3.5M in late November. While small in absolute numbers, the increase is notable, and with the launch of Fulcrum and Torque, we believed having the team on the podcast would be worthwhile for our listeners. 

BZX is a decentralized protocol that enables lending and borrowing for margin trading. The protocol can be easily integrated into new and existing exchanges or accessed through the bZx portal. On this episode we also discuss the products built on the bZx Protocol including Fulcrum (DeFi margin lending and trading) and Torque (indefinite-term loans with fixed interest rates).
