#44 - Building 'Dango' To Make DeFi Fun Again - Larry Lyu

About this episode

Larry Lyu discusses his new blockchain Dango and the evolution of DeFi trading.

Larry Lyu is the founder of a new Layer 1 blockchain network called Dango, which is designed specifically to revolutionize the market of on-chain, spot, DeFi trading. In this episode, Larry and I discussed why he dropped out in the last year of his PHD in Biochemistry to write smart contracts in crypto, why he's building a new blockchain from scratch for DeFi, the most important shifts in blockchain design and engineering of the last few years, some alpha for users looking to get exposure to Dango's upcoming airdrop and much more. This episode was truly incredible to record. Larry is a wellspring of technical knowledge and breaks down complex topics in a way that even I can understand. Well worth the listen if you want to learn about all the ways DeFi has changed over the last few years and what lies in store for the industry.
