Jordan Kruger is CoFounder of Metronome and Vesper Finance. Zane Huffman is CoFounder of Metronome and CSO of Bloq.In this episode of The DeFi Podcast, we interview 2 crypto OGs who pivoted to building full time in DeFi back in 2020, which led to the launch of Vesper Finance, designed for easy single-deposit token vault strategies. During this interview, we focus on their latest protocol Metronome, which enables users to generate a variety of synthetics using cryptoassets as collateral. Their newest product Smart Farming is a degen's paradise with up to 4-5X looping to instantly create leveraged positions with like-assets, backed by interest-earning collateral like vaFRAX or vaSTETH deposited in Vesper vaults. This is a great interview and tutorial for those new to the concept of looping in DeFi and how it works.------THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION OR ENDORSEMENT TO BUY ANY TOKEN OR NFT RELATED TO ANY PLATFORMS DISCUSSED.------🌲 CHECK OUT MY OTHER POD--THE EDGE PODCAST: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod🔎 DISCOVER DEFI & WEB3 BLOG POSTS, PODCASTS, TUTORIALS: http://defidad.com/✅ FOLLOW DEFI DAD ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/DeFi_Dad------Podcast Sponsor Resources🏗️ MANTLE | HIGH-PERFORMANCE ETHEREUM L2 WITH MODULAR DESIGN, LOW FEES, AND HIGH SECURITYhttps://linktr.ee/mantle.xyz⚖️ KYBERSWAP | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR AND AMM https://kyberswap.com/?&utm_source=KOL&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=defidad&utm_content=overview📈 GTRADE | DECENTRALIZED LEVERAGE TRADINGhttps://gains.trade/

Aaron Wright is a founding member of The LAO, Flamingo DAO, and now Tribute Labs. He was early to Bitcoin, invested in the Ethereum presale, and went on to found one of the earliest protocols on Ethereum called OpenLaw while working for years at the Ethereum venture studio ConsenSys.
In this episode, Aaron discusses his remarkable career being early to Ethereum, dApps, DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and the Web3-enabled Metaverse. I have known Aaron since 2017 and he's consistently early to mega trends in crypto, long before they catch fire in the mainstream. Aaron offers his humble reflections on what has allowed Ethereum to become the most dominant blockchain and why it's just getting started with an infinite number of applications, ideas, and economies to be built on it as an authentication/settlement layer.
