May 27, 2024 Royco Protocol: Revolutionizing Liquidity Markets
Jai Bhavnani is the CoFounder and CEO of Waymont Co, a developer of the Royco Protocol.
In this episode, we cover how Royco Protocol will revolutionize liquidity markets. We're joined by the legendary cofounder of Rari Capital, Jai Bhavnani, to get a first look at what we believe is the biggest DeFi primitive to launch since Uniswap. Royco's onchain liquidity orderbook with programmable markets can solve market inefficiencies currently plaguing DeFi, which have led to issues around high FDV launches. This is one of the most disruptive ideas we've ever come across and you're getting a sneak peak long before the protocol goes live!
