My favorite DeFi protocol/project: Liquity
What fascinates you most about DeFi? For me it’s two main things: 1) The fact that you do not need any intermediary to execute the different transactions or custody of your assets and 2) the transparency of it all, whereby we are able to pinpoint certain events and addresses at any given point in time – this is a massive step up from the current financial system, which is very opaque by design.
Your best knowledge resource in the DeFi space? Ben Giove from Bankless, The Defi Edge, Dy.
When and what was your first touchpoint with DeFi? Uniswap back in 2020’s “DeFi Summer”.
