Podcasts about Dex

Euler is a DeFi lending protocol built around the idea of permissionless modularity, enabling users to lend and borrow almost any crypto asset with flexible, permissionless pools, tailored to individual risk profiles. Moreover, Euler Vault Kit (EVK) and Ethereum Vault Connector (EVC) enable the creation of custom lending vaults which, in turn, can be used as collateral for other vaults. Earlier this year Euler also announced EulerSwap, a new DEX with a built-in AMM powered by Euler's lending infrastructure and integrated with Uniswap v4's hook architecture. EulerSwap integrates directly with Euler's lending vaults, allowing assets to be used across multiple pools. This turns the lending protocol into a shared liquidity layer, improving capital efficiency across the ecosystem via swaps, lending yield or collateral for borrowing other assets.Topics covered in this episode:Michael's backgroundThe history & vision behind EulerThe Euler hackEuler V2Euler vs. other lending protocolsDiversifying offeringsVariable vs. fixed ratesHow Pendle worksEuler's futureRWAsPrivacy in DeFiEuler roadmapThe impact of AI in DeFiEpisode links:⁠⁠Michael Bentley on X⁠⁠Euler on X⁠⁠Sponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

In this episode, Lex speaks with Marcelo Ruiz de Olano, Co-Founder of KPK (Karpatkey), an on-chain asset management firm born out of Gnosis DAO. Marcelo recounts KPK's evolution from stewarding Gnosis's $1B treasury to advising on more than $2B for leading protocols like ENS, Balancer, and the Ethereum Foundation. The discussion dives into the mechanics of non-custodial treasury management - balancing governance, security, and risk - along with strategies across lending, liquidity provision, and stablecoin yields. Marcelo also shares why the rise of large Ethereum treasury companies could be a turning point for DeFi, injecting institutional-scale liquidity and potentially making ETH more liquid than Bitcoin. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:Origins and Scale of On-Chain Treasury ManagementKPK spun out of Gnosis DAO, which had one of the earliest and largest on-chain treasuries (~$1B). From there, KPK evolved into an independent manager now advising on over $2B of DAO and foundation treasuries (ENS, Balancer, Ethereum Foundation, etc.), pioneering non-custodial, fully on-chain asset management practices.Conservative, Mission-Driven Approach vs. Yield-ChasingUnlike many DeFi actors during “DeFi Summer,” KPK deliberately rejected risky high-yield strategies. Instead, they prioritized capital preservation and mission alignment—for example, ensuring ENS's treasury only supports Ethereum-strengthening initiatives (like minority client staking or avoiding centralization risks). This contrarian, values-driven approach built trust and positioned them as long-term stewards of DeFi treasuries.Transformative Potential of Ethereum Treasury CompaniesMarcelo highlights that emerging Ethereum treasury firms (similar to MicroStrategy's BTC play) could deploy $10B+ in ETH treasuries. A single such “mega whale” could inject unprecedented liquidity into DeFi—making ETH potentially more liquid than BTC, bootstrapping entire verticals (DEX liquidity, lending, insurance), and creating a flywheel where treasury strategies directly accelerate Ethereum's adoption and price stability. TOPICSKPK, Gnosis, Gnosis Safe, Balancer, Aave, Maker, Sky, Uniswap, Morpho, Ethereum Foundation, on-chain asset management, DAO, decentralized autonomous organization, treasury management, DeFi, tokenization, ETH, Ether, stablecoin, USDC ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

Shiba Inu, XYZ, and PENGU are grabbing attention as traders seek the next big move. Each coin has sparked bold predictions ahead of the coming year. What drives their price targets for 2025, and which one could see the highest jump? A closer look at the data and trends may reveal which contender stands out. Shiba Inu (SHIB) Source: TradingView SHIB trades between $0.0000116366 and $0.0000129366. It slipped 3.63% this week, edged up 0.99% over the month, and is down 3.47% in 6 months. The chart shows a narrow band with no clear longer trend. The 10-day average price at $0.000012149 sits just below the 100-day level at $0.0000122698, keeping the coin in a tight zone. The strength index reads 51.77, a balanced spot, but the fast oscillator at 87.30 hints at buying fatigue. Momentum is slightly negative, so the market waits near $0.0000122 for a fresh cue. A break above $0.0000136833 could lift SHIB about 12%, with room to stretch to $0.0000149833 for a 23% gain. If sellers take control, support at $0.0000110833 is 9% lower, and deeper bids near $0.0000097833 are 20% under current levels. With mixed signals and a flat month, sideways moves are likely, punctuated by quick tests of these limits. Undervalued $XYZ Meme Coin Gears Up for Listing on a Major CEX XYZVerse ($XYZ) is the meme coin that has grabbed headlines with its ambitious claim of rising from $0.0001 to $0.1 during a presale phase. So far, it has gone halfway, raising over $15 million, and the price of the $XYZ token currently stands at $0.005. At the next 14th stage of the presale, the $XYZ token value will further rise to $0.01, meaning that early investors have the chance to secure a bigger discount. Following the presale, $XYZ will be listed on major centralised and decentralised exchanges. The team has not disclosed the details yet, but they have put a teaser for a big launch. Born for Fighters, Built for Champions XYZVerse is building a community for those hungry for big profits in crypto - the relentless, the ambitious, the ones aiming for dominance. This is a coin for true fighters - a mindset that resonates with athletes and sports fans alike. $XYZ is the token for thrill-seekers chasing the next big meme coin. Central to the XYZVerse story is XYZepe - a fighter in the meme coin arena, battling to climb the charts and make it to the top on CoinMarketCap. Will it become the next DOGE or SHIB? Time will tell. Community-First Vibes In XYZVerse, the community runs the show. Active participants earn hefty rewards, and the team has allocated a massive 10% of the total token supply - around 10 billion $XYZ - for airdrops, making it one of the largest airdrops on record. Backed by solid tokenomics, strategic CEX and DEX listings, and regular token burns, $XYZ is built for a championship run. Every move is designed to boost momentum, drive price growth, and rally a loyal community that knows this could be the start of something legendary. Airdrops, Rewards, and More - Join XYZVerse to Unlock All the Benefits Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) Source: TradingView PENGU has slipped 5.3% this week and 13.82% in the past month, now trading between $0.0266 and $0.0331. The dip looks small beside the 374.87% leap seen over six months, so early buyers remain far ahead. The token sits just under its 100-day average of $0.0294, a level traders keep watching. Short-term mood is mixed. The momentum gauge reads 44.7, neither hot nor cold. A speed meter at 79.7 shows price swings stay active, while the trend line is slightly negative. With the 10-day average at 0.0286 above spot bids, nervous buyers need fresh volume to flip the near-term picture. If price breaks $0.0372 the path opens toward $0.0438, a rise of about 35% from mid-range quotes. Above that, the six-month rally could restart. Failure to hold $0.0242 risks a drop to $0.0177, taking away roughly 32%. Given the long-term uptrend and neutral momentum, odds lean toward a slow push higher, yet the coin may stay boxed in until a c...

Send us a textA sudden power shift ripples through Denver as Blake Carrington faces financial collapse, forcing him to humble himself before his ex-wife Alexis. The moment is electric—Blake squirming uncomfortably while Alexis, draped in chocolate brown with luxurious chinchilla accents, savors every second of his discomfort. After years of him keeping her from her children, the tables have dramatically turned. Meanwhile, the Carrington mansion erupts in chaos as Sammy Jo makes her grand return, boom box blasting Michael Jackson's "Thriller," determined to reclaim her place and her son. Her unexpected announcement that she's staying indefinitely throws Krystal into a panic as the delicate family balance threatens to collapse. When Steven discovers her modeling career was a complete fabrication, the stage is set for a potentially explosive custody battle. The episode's most intriguing development arrives in cream-colored elegance at La Mirage. The mysterious Ms. Devereaux, played by the legendary Diane Carroll, makes an unforgettable entrance with mountains of designer luggage and an imperious attitude. Her cryptic meeting with Alexis delivers some of Dynasty's most quotable lines ("I didn't invite you, I sent for you") while establishing her as someone with intimate knowledge of Alexis's past—and potentially dangerous intentions. Elsewhere, Fallon's wedding preparations are interrupted by the return of troubling symptoms from her concussion, coinciding with sudden doubts about marrying Jeff. Tracy Kendall dramatically quits after revealing she's been spying for Dex, and Kirby's increasingly erratic behavior culminates in a disturbing scene with a gun. As the penultimate episode of the season, "New Lady in Town" masterfully sets up multiple cliffhangers while delivering the glamour, scheming, and emotional confrontations that make Dynasty an enduring television classic. Don't miss this pivotal episode that promises to change the power dynamics of Denver's elite forever.

Hey Friends it's Carla! Welcome back to another episode of So What Now?  Let's get right into this week's wild ride! So Bella Thorne hopped on IG sharing that she proposed to her fiancé… after he already did it first. I'm sorry, what?? Nah. Ya'll know I have thoughts (spoiler: I am not out here getting on one knee, let's be so serious). And of course, Dex went off on one of her classic rants. This time about how some things are strictly “for men.” Like proposing. Like budgeting. Like… anything that feels like work. According to her, we deserve to live soft, fun, budget-free lives and honestly? She might be onto something. Then we slid into the listener letters, and babyyyy  it got spicy. We heard from a teacher who's also on OF. She's tryna decide if she should quit her 9-to-5 and go full-time as a spicy girl. You know we had to weigh in. But somehow that convo took a sharp left turn into us telling our embarrassing secrets  and yes, both of ours happened on cruise ships. Don't ask, just press play. Grab your drink, your headphones, and your nosiest friend — this one's a wild ride!   CONNECT WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: CARLA WILMARIS | DEX

In this episode, Anna Rose and Tarun Chitra chat with Vlad and Murat from Lighter, a ZK-powered perp DEX on Ethereum. They explore how perps, short for perpetuals/perpetual trades, emerged as a crypto invention, how the exchanges offering perps evolved over the years, and the tradeoff space between transparency and privacy, specifically for marketmakers. Vladimir discusses the advantage of building a perp DEX with a team consisting of both quants and engineers. They also cover how ZK has come to be used in some projects but not others, what opportunities verifiability can unlock, and why their project favored building custom ZK circuits over using existing zkVMs. Related links: ZK Whiteboard Sessions  zkLighter White Paper A primer on perpetuals Hyperliquid docs dYdX GMX Lighter Discord Check out the latest jobs in ZK at the ZK Podcast Jobs Board.  **If you like what we do:** * Find all our links here! @ZeroKnowledge | Linktree * Subscribe to our podcast newsletter * Follow us on Twitter @zeroknowledgefm * Join us on Telegram * Catch us on YouTube **Support the show:** * Patreon * ETH - Donation address *

In this episode, we kick things off with the hidden cost of friendship — turns out, staying social could be costing you over $250 a month in brunches, happy hours, and birthday dinners. Then we get into dating finances, where new data shows men are spending $15,000 more per year in relationships, largely driven by lingering provider expectations. How much is your man spending on you?  Dex brings us a shocking story out of Brooklyn: a man lost his fully paid-off $800K home over a $5K water bill. She also shares a personal horror story about the hidden traps and predatory fines cities can hit you with as a property owner. Carla wraps things up with the story of Khloé Kardashian stepping in as primary caregiver for Tristan Thompson's younger brother, Amari. While Carla sees it as a generous act of love, Dex questions whether it's just another chapter in Khloé's inability to let go of Tristan. Whether you're here for the facts, the feels, or the side-eye — we've got you covered. CONNECT WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: CARLA WILMARIS | DEX

At the Wyoming Blockchain Summit, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller delivered one of the most striking pro-crypto speeches ever from a senior central banker. Waller argued that decentralized finance is simply the next iteration of financial technology, praised stablecoins as now-mature infrastructure, and said the Fed itself must modernize its payment rails to be compatible with crypto. He even joked about trading meme coins on a DEX as if it were the most normal thing in the world. Later, Senator Cynthia Lummis outlined her timeline for market structure legislation, with momentum building around the Clarity Act. Meanwhile, Wall Street analysts from Goldman Sachs and UBS are increasingly focused on the multi-trillion-dollar stablecoin opportunity. Today's Breakdown unpacks the shifting discourse, the Fed's evolving stance, and why 2024 may be the decisive year for U.S. crypto regulation.

This week on So What Now?, I kicked things off with a few thoughts on all the buzz surrounding the Woman Evolve conference and shared a little bit about what the experience was like for me personally. We also wanted to catch up with y'all, so we took some time to dig into a couple of listener letters because let's be honest, our inbox is overflowing and these topics deserved some attention. One letter came from someone feeling the heat from her mom to get married ASAP, and we talked about how to honor your own timeline without blowing up the family cookout. The other came from a woman who's thriving solo, but keeps getting told she's “too independent” to be dateable. We unpacked the difference between being self-sufficient and emotionally unavailable, and how to leave room for love without shrinking yourself. And then we heard from someone whose ex just won't let go still liking her posts, sending memes, and dropping “I miss us” texts every week. We got into why men do this, how to set real boundaries, and why sometimes, hitting that block button isn't petty it's necessary. As always, we kept it real, gave our best advice and honestly, who needs a therapist when you've got me and Dex? LOL.   CONNECT WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: CARLA WILMARIS | DEX

This week, Dex came in hot with the age-old(and honestly, exhausting) question: Are you wife material? We broke down a xoNecole article where 10 men shared what makes a woman “wife” vs. “girlfriend” material and whew, some of these takes had me raising eyebrows and clenching my pearls. From emotional maturity to splitting bills to being “referred” like a LinkedIn job post, we had plenty to say. Spoiler alert: Dex absolutely flunked the wifey quiz.

Public companies are racing to lock ETH onto their balance sheets, but is this the spark for a late-cycle greed run or a setup for a painful reversal? Mike Nadeau from The DeFi Report joins Ryan to unpack the ETH treasury boom, explain how staking yield and convertible debt amplify reflexivity, and show why onchain signals place us around 9 p.m. on the market clock. We examine surging DEX volumes, record stablecoin supply, and the alt-season gauges that could send ETH to new highs. Finally, we outline the risks of leverage, premium flips, and the exit strategy smart investors are already planning.

Icepick continues his research in “The Dex,” the sprawling library located in and below Cords in the Patchwork.     Meanwhile, Lincoln and the others were almost out of the woods, fooling the Matron of the Poison Pool that Faceless was the real Callista. The Matron lowered the pool's level, exposing a stone path that led safely across. Then Mercutio woke up—his cries for help alerted the Matron to the charade. She flipped the lever to raise the pool and submerged the path, the path all but Magda were walking across, and she ordered her pair of zombie killer whales—Necrokeiko and Grimhole—to attack. Will the undead orcas take a bite out of the gang?

With Redolencia behind them and a new friend on board, the crew of the Little Snail powers forward towards Calstega Bay. Unfortunately, as a familiar crack sounds in the distance, they find that the home of the Manakin is less welcoming than they'd hoped! Now, the ad hoc adventurers must find their way past the blockades and between the sniper's bullets if they hope to make it into the seaside town. This week on Perpetua: Journey to the Bay Pt. 03 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.03] Town Maps [TNMP] Calstega Bay [CBMP] While smaller towns and villages are set up in a single, scrolling screen, larger cities like Calstega Bay are broken up into different “district” zones. Each one has a bunch of stuff in it, so for the sake of speed (this is an IN PROGRESS FAQ after all!) I'm going to just list the basics and I'll come back later if more detail is needed. Anyway, without further to do: Northcrook  A.K.A. “Crookville,” this is the primary way of entering during the opening scenario. There's a hospital here (with a doctor who has some very funny dialog). You can grind here for a little bit against both Valtese Guards and “Cheetahs.” (They're not Cheetahs, they're Manakin Gang Members that have Cheetah Spots on them. I don't know that the developers know what gangs are like in real life.). The Free Quarter This is the big central square of town that connects most of the other districts to one another. So you know what that means: You'll be running through it CONSTANTLY, especially after you get the disguise and the pass that let you move around freely. You can also go into the palace to learn some lore about the Manakin and Grand Sonnerie and the noble who used to rule here. And the clocktower at the top of the palace is the first of three places you can choose to have the big boss fight at at the end of the main quest chapter here! Westgate Markets This is where the big cooking competition happens, technically, but let me just focus on what you care about most here. The GEAR! Here's what's available: Weapons Inventor's Screwdriver - 600 asta DEX+DEX+1 - [HR+4] physical - 1 handed / melee Damage dealt by this weapon ignores Resistances.   Inventor's Hammer - 800 Asta MIG+MIG - [HR+10] bolt damage - 2 handed / melee Do an extra 5 damage to Constructs.   Gatling Crossbow - 1350 asta, martial DEX+INS - [HR+12] physical damage - 2 handed  Attacks with this weapon always have multi (2)   Encyclopedia - 600 asta INS+INS - [HR+6] physical - two handed / melee  You are immune to dazed.   Armor Inventor's Garb - 800 asta DEX die +1 Def / INS die +1 Mdef/ -1 Init You gain +1 IP maximum.   Bandit Jacket - 900 asta DEX die +1 Def / INS die +1 Mdef /-1 Initiative You gain +1 bonus to Accuracy Checks with Daggers.   Cheetah Jacket  - 650 asta, martial 10 Def / INS die +1 MDef/ +2 Initiative   Automaton Suit  - 1250 asta, martial 11 Def / INS die +1 MDef / -3 Init You have Immunity to Earth and Poison Damage, but vulnerability to bolt damage.   Inventor's Shield - 1600 asta  +2 Def You have immunity to bolt damage.   Accessories Springloaded Boots - 1200 asta Spend 3IP to launch yourself into the air, allowing you to attack a single flying enemy with a melee attack, or giving you a +2 on an appropriate skill check.   Inventor's Gloves - 500 asta You are immune to shaken   Sharpshooter's Lenses - 1000 asta You gain a +1 bonus to your Accuracy Checks.   Cornergate This is one of the main ways in/out of the town after you complete the main quest stuff here. There are a handful of random encounters here, but nowhere near as many as in Crookville. It's sort of just a weird corner of the city with nothing going on besides the gate. I don't know why it got its own zone. Maybe I'm missing something. Highrail This is where the train to the north comes. You'll walk past this place a BUNCH and go “why can't I just get on a train and get out of here.” BE PATIENT! It's also a great place to grind, especially against the modified Loader Bots. The second of three places you could have the boss fight at, depending on your dialog options. Night Docks I haven't been able to get into this place yet except for the cutscene where you go to the nearby hotel. It gets closed off after that. But before you go, definitely make sure to buy up as much IP as you can. Atelier Road This is what I'd call the “fancy shop” part of town. Later on in the game you can get mage equipment here plus some pretty good accessories, but for now it seems to be locked off by the Valtean Empire and the locals having staredowns. Roseshore  Despite all the signage warning about a sea monster, this is the fancy beach of the town. It's also the third possible boss fight location—I wonder if the monster gets involved with the fight if you have it there instead of the other places?
