- Silo Finance's Risk-Isolated Money Markets Explained
Watch the full episode of The Edge Podcast on Silo Finance: https://tape.xyz/watch/0x2e09-0x0164
- A Guide To Silo Financeโs Risk-Isolated Money Markets
AJ is a Founding Contributor at Silo Finance.
In this Quick Hit, we guide you through Silo Finance's risk-isolated money markets. Silo is a DeFi protocol on Ethereum and Arbitrum where isolated lending and borrowing pools can be created for individual tokens. This approach is different from the shared pool design of Aave and Compound, which means long tail assets can be listed while lenders can potentially earn higher yields lending to these markets. With over $ 300M in liquidity across its Ethereum, Llama (crvUSD markets on Ethereum), and Arbitrum markets, AJ shares how this design can provide us more control and opportunity as DeFi lenders and borrowers, as well as future plans for Silo V2 including the implementation of veSILO tokenomics.

Jordi Alexander is the Chief Alchemist at Mantle and Chief Investment Officer at Selini Capital.
In this episode, we explore Mantle, the Ethereum L2 designed for top native yields. Mantle is self-described as a product-centric L2, less focused on scaling tech and more on building and hosting the best DeFi and Web3 apps. Jordi reveals all sorts of alpha including how to play the upcoming airdrop season on Mantle, how to master their native yield products such as mETH, and how Mantle is using it's massive multibillion-dollar ETH treasury to grow.

- Is Ethena About To Create The Highest Stablecoin Real Yield in DeFi?
Guy Young is the Founder and CEO of Ethena Labs.
In this episode, we discuss Ethena launching one of the highest stablecoin real yields in DeFi and how it's built with staked ETH. Ethena aims to offer a permissionless dollar-denominated savings instrument in the form of a delta-neutral synthetic dollar, that's stable, value-accruing, and scalable--what they refer to as the โInternet Bond." We explore how users will soon be able to deposit decentralized collateral such as stETH to mint USDe, stake USDe, and earn an embedded yield that's netting beta users 25-30% APY.

- Meet The World's Largest GPU DePIN: io.net
This a clip from a recent episode of The Edge Podcast featuring the Founder/CEO Ahmad Shadid and COO/CFO Tory Green.
- io.net: The World's Largest GPU DePIN Built on Solana
Ahmad Shadid is the Founder/CEO of io.net and Tory Green is the COO/CFO.
In this episode, we review into the world's largest GPU DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure network) called io.net! This state-of-the-art decentralized computing network built on Solana is a great example to get us introduced to the fast-growing DePIN sector of crypto.
With the rise of AI and the growing demand for more GPUs in the public cloud, obtaining access to distributed computing resources presents several challenges including limited availability, rising costs, and a lack of choice. Ahmad and Tory teach us how io.net solves for these problems by aggregating GPUs from underutilized sources into an Airbnb-like marketplace to share and access massive amounts of computing power.

- Urbit Explained: A Beginner's Guide for Cryptonatives
Jake Brukhman is the Founder and Managing Partner at CoinFund. Evan Fisher is the Founder and Managing Partner at Portal Ventures.
In this episode, we walk through a beginner's guide to Urbit, geared towards cryptonatives. If you're into crypto, you may find a home here in Urbit! Founded in 2002 long before Bitcoin and Ethereum, Urbit is a platform that enables the creation and execution of composable, permissionless, and trustless internet applications through a network of personal servers.
We interview Urbit investors Evan Fisher and Jake Brukhman about the basics of how Urbit aims to rebuild the Internet from a clean slate, where there are intersections between crypto and Urbit, what use cases theyโre excited to see built, how Urbit accrues value, and how we can get involved.

- Morpho Blue: Unlocking A New Foundation for DeFi Lending
Paul Frambot is the CoFounder and CEO at Morpho Labs.
In this episode, we discuss the soon to be released Morpho Blue protocol, which promises to unlock a new foundation for DeFi lending. Morpho V1 is already the third largest lending platform on Ethereum with over $1B in deposited assets.
