In this episode, host Sri Misra speaks with Yat Siu of Animoca Brands about why over-collateralized lending is fundamentally misaligned with mass adoption  and how on-chain reputation, identity, and trust scores could unlock unsecured credit in crypto.

Yat draws parallels with the real world: jobs, education, credit cards  all systems that work because we take calculated risks on people. He explains how mechanisms like airdrops already resemble early forms of unsecured credit  and why scaling this model could open up a multi-trillion dollar market on chain.
