38 minutes

Sun Raghupahti is the CoFounder and CEO at Veda Labs.

In this episode, we dive into how Veda is building the DeFi Earn Network to transform passive yield generation into a simple, secure, and accessible experience. Learn how Veda is breaking down DeFi’s complexities, leading in a new frontier of yield curation and tokenization, and unlocking opportunities across onchain ecosystems. We’ll also explore what it takes to bring DeFi to the masses, the opportunity in interoperability, and why vaults are key to mass adoption.
