Lex chats with Stani Kulechov - founder and CEO of Aave, a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol. They explore the evolution of DeFi, Aave's growth, and its architectural shift from a peer-to-peer model to pooled liquidity. Stani reflects on the early days of DeFi, the impact of the FTX collapse, and the increasing adoption of DeFi over centralized exchanges. They discuss Aave's strategies for attracting assets, the importance of capital efficiency, and future innovations, including the tokenization of real-world assets and the role of stablecoins. Notable discussion points: 1. Aave Reaches $40 Billion in Net Deposits: Stani Kulechov shared that Aave has achieved a record-breaking $40 billion in net deposits and $25 billion in active liquidity, making it the largest DeFi lending protocol ever by total value locked (TVL). 2. DeFi's Evolution from Peer-to-Peer to Liquidity Hubs: The conversation detailed Aave's architectural shift from early peer-to-peer lending models to pooled liquidity and now to a hub-and-spoke model with Aave V4 — designed to balance capital efficiency and risk segregation for both native crypto and real-world assets (RWAs). 3. The Rise of Real-World Assets and Stablecoins in DeFi: Kulechov emphasized that tokenized real-world assets (like treasuries) and decentralized stablecoins (such as Aave's GHO) are reshaping the DeFi landscape, predicting RWAs will outgrow both stablecoins and native crypto assets in total value locked within five years. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: Aave, Lens Protocol, GHO, Horizon, FTX, Project Guardian, AaveDAO, MakerDAO, Web3, DeFi, Lending, stablecoins, tokens, RWA, decentralized finance, capital markets, DAO, Digital Assets ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

Talking with people who are active web3 citizens, through all the ups and downs of crypto, answering the question of what inspires and motivates them. Why they're still here.aiio is a researcher, community builder and writer bridging across web3 and the underground electronic music and arts communities in Copenhagen. She writes about the concept of space, linking it to human culture, existence, and the need for adaptive ecosystems.

We started in September 2022, soon after Nick Hollins returned to Byron Bay in Australia after travelling in Europe, where he met Alex and aiio at ETH Barcelona in July.The first episode was with Charlie Waterhouse, a co-founder of Extinction Rebellion who helped design their art and iconography. From the jump UFO was publishing with the available onchain tools. Publishing on Mirror, establishing a web3 social audience on Lens Protocol, releasing mints. We had the UFO Genesis Pass in November 2022 with over 8000 mints, which helped create an audience and community starting from scratch, which has only grown since then.In June 2023, UFO was the first podcast to mint on the Zora network as it went live. We publish to an 1155 contract, and you can listen and mint onchain via all your favorite apps.There's been 61 guests on UFO, covering arts, music, technology, and culture. Exploring trends in AI, web3 social, onchain media. Many of the most happening projects have dropped into the UFO studios to share stories along the way.It's been a place for revolutionary ideas. A show to discover new projects and the people creating them. Revealing the many connections and friendships between people in this space who are collaborating and building things together.It is a counterculture scene, spread across the world, and happening for the most part online and onchain.Now that we're here, next steps for UFO is launching a collective of podcasts. Building towards an onchain radio station and magazine from ufo.fm.Our approach is a combination of music, arts and ideas. These podcasts we have coming through, including quite a few we're not announcing yet, will surprise and delight our listeners. We're still early.This recording for UFO 50 with Alex, aiio and LGHT was the first time the four of us have all spoken together. We talk about UFO as a collective signal. The vital importance for collective platforms like this to exist. Sharing experiences and imaginings for how we see this going forward into 2024 and beyond.Thank you for being here.

Social media revolves around content creation, and while the content itself could be tokenised through NFTs, SocialFi aims to take it a step further. The recently released friend.tech app went to show that users might be interested in something more than just content - creator shares. This implicitly links back to handles and profiles, and we can slowly start to unveil the primitives of social media. Lens Protocol predates the friend.tech venture, in both timeline, as well as scope. While social media became synonymous with monopolistic central entities, Lens Protocol aims to build the decentralised bedrock for Web3's social layer. These primitives would not only be interoperable with any Web3 application, but they would redefine content creation, feed generation and monetisation.We were joined by Stani Kulechov, founder of Lens Protocol & Aave, to discuss decentralised social graphs and how to leverage smart contracts to build the primitives for Web3's social layer.Topics covered in this episode:The vision behind LensLens V2 and smart contract capabilitiesSocial media development platformDefining the Web3 social media primitiveFeed generation algorithm on LensIntegrating on-chain and off-chain infrastructureThe tragedy of the commons in decentralised social mediaCan a public good architecture also accommodate private goods?Growth model, sponsored transactions and monetisationGovernance and decentralised social mediaEpisode links: Stani Kulechov on TwitterLens Protocol on TwitterAave on TwitterThis episode is hosted by Friederike Ernst & Meher Roy.

Li Jin is the co-founder and a general partner at the VC firm Variant and has written extensively about the benefits of web3 social platforms for creators. Stani Kulechov is the creator of Aave (one of the largest decentralized finance protocols) and has been key to the development of the web3 social network platform, Lens Protocol. In this episode, Li and Kulechov examine the problems with the existing social media landscape and explain the opportunities that exist for new web3 social media attempts such as Lens Protocol. As Jin explains, one of the key benefits of web3 social is that "every element of the business model is totally in the creator's control."

We all know that the current landscape of social media is not ideal for various reasons, but one of those reasons is because the revenue model is based on the client-server model giving companies access to massive amounts of user data. For this interview I spoke with Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave and Lens Protocol, a new attempt at creating a decentralized social media solution. Generally in the past blockchain based social media has been done quite poorly, but Lens seems to be a bit a step forward as it works quite differently from social media platforms.During the interview we discussed the issues with social media today, the implications of creating a social graph on a blockchain that anyone can build on top of, and platform risk. If you would like to access Lens then send a message to Stani on Twitter and you'll be put on the allow list.You can follow me on Lens now as well and even collect this episode as an NFT on Lenstube.

I bring up the protocols Farcaster and Lens as examples for product managers to be aware of and learn from when approaching how to build value for the modern web. I also detail how to create a User model in Ruby on Rails, its associated “migration” file, and examples from the Rails Console how to create a user to store in the database.Visit https://satchel.works/@wclittle/ventures-episode-135 for more information.

What's the real story behind Elon Musk's Twitter takeover? Is this good for crypto, does all the talk about “free speech” really mean something; and, do we actually like Elon again? This is the same guy who killed the bullrun with an overhyped twitter profile and some environmental fud, but on the other hand, he does hate censorship as much as we do; and that's the main reason we own crypto in the first place. Real financial freedom through financial assets we actually own.
Aave founder Stani Kulechov joins Dan Roberts and Stacy Elliott to talk about his vision for the next iteration of DeFi, Aave V3 and Lens Protocol, the Web3 company he wishes he had founded, and why now is the right time for the $5B lending protocol to launch its GHO stablecoin.
