Really enjoyed this interview with
@wagmiAlexander and have immense respect for all the progress he’s made at
@AerodromeFi &
@VelodromeFi.
Him and his team got together like how the great DeFi teams of old used to get together… on a discord server. They took a model for how dex spot trading should be done onchain and ran with it, tweaking different parts of the system, and establishing relationships with the likes of Coinbase to make it successful.
We hear a lot about perp trading but not as much conversation regarding spot which could be argued is a bigger opportunity as more and more assets come onchain. I’m looking forward to their launch on mainnet, especially their launch of their Predictive Allocation engine. Watching closely.
