About this episode

Scott from SideSwap discusses the developments in the Liquid ecosystem, including prediction markets and privacy advantages.

Scott, cofounder of SideSwap, joins the show to talk about what his team has been quietly building in the Liquid ecosystem.

We also get into Liquid's privacy advantages over Tron and Ethereum for Tether users, the surprising growth of the Brazilian stablecoin dePix, the federation trust model debate, and why liquid adoption has been slow but may finally be turning a corner.
