In today's episode we are joined by Chad Barraford, technical lead of THORChain, to chat about how the protocol works with layer-one assets, disrupting the traditional "island-like" view of blockchains as separate ecosystems. The protocol offers decentralized lending specifically for non-EVM chains like Bitcoin and Litecoin, aiming to always maintain liquidity. Key mechanisms are discussed to safeguard against vulnerabilities like price manipulation, ensuring that the protocol acts more like a 'bodyguard' to liquidity providers. As always Sam and Dan are joined by 2 Blockworks Research analysts, Ren & Pibblez. The analysts explore the balancer exploit, Coinbase USDC deal, dYdX governance proposal, and Coinbase sharing revenue to Optimism. - - Follow Chad: https://twitter.com/CBarraford Follow Sam: https://twitter.com/swmartin19 Follow Dan: https://twitter.com/smyyguy Follow Matt:https://twitter.com/MattFiebach Follow Ren: https://twitter.com/purplepill3m Follow Pibblez: https://twitter.com/0xpibblez Follow Blockworks Research: https://twitter.com/blockworksres Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3foDS38 Subscribe on Apple: https://apple.co/3SNhUEt Subscribe on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3NlP1hA Get top market insights and the latest in crypto news.
