Wyre Talks

Yogesh Srihari is a serial entrepreneur, who started several companies until he stumbled upon blockchain and was convinced by its potential to refocus his attention. Now, he is co-founder and CEO at LQDEX (pronounced "liquid-ex"), an inter-blockchain trading platform which allows trading of digital tokens across multiple blockchains. Because the exchange is decentralized, all the trading can be done without counterparty risk. Cross-chain trading often utilizes what are called atomic swaps. We explore what atomic swaps are, and why LQDEX does not use them, so therefore does not require modifications to the existing blockchains.

As he discusses his past with Spankchain, Yogesh tells of the lessons he learned to not only build a great product, but to become an effective leader and decision-maker.

In this episode, we also cover:

- How the adult entertainment industry has catalyzed other technologies in the past

- Launch of the LQDEX Bridge

- Collators in the LQDEX ecosystem, why they're crucial to the system

- Ensuring good behavior from those participating on the platform by issuing LQD tokens

- Stake and earn token models

- Training yourself to become a hyper-rational thinker

- Using a sidechain for more efficient trading

In this episode of Wyre Talks, we welcome Apurv Mishra, founder and CEO of Zeus Protocol, who explains the mission of the Zeus protocol of breaking down data silos to help developers and how the blockchain can empower users in owning their own identity and personal data.

In this episode of Wyre Talks, we host Michael Dunworth, CEO of Wyre, and Louis Aboud, Head of Research at Wyre Capital; we discuss DEXs (Decentralized Exchanges), their promise of increased security and privacy, and yet why they haven't reached their full potential.

As traditional investors enter the crypto world, they not only bring their legitimacy and access to funds with them, they also bring old habits with them. This week's episode is about institutional players entering the crypto market and why bitcoin ETF's are so important to the market.

In this episode, we interview the cofounders of Wyre: Michael Dunworth and Ioannis Giannaros. They recounted the story of Wyre; where it came from and where it's going. Wyre has been in the crypto space for five years now, and it's been a long and winding road, but we've seen a lot and learned a lot. It wasn't always easy but this is the story that defines who Wyre is today.
