What’s Actually Working Onchain? | Ali & Cedo
In this episode, we’re joined by Ali from Valantis Labs, and Cedo from Initia, to discuss Initia appchains, the revenue and ICM metas, and under-collateralized lending in crypto. We also dive into CLOBs vs AMMs, Hyperliquid’s spot ecosystem, and what new things there are to do onchain. Thanks for tuning in!
