There is something else that I I I think like the dream. Right? I talk about these hockey stick moments in terms of, like, is that like debt instruments and using Unchained to facilitate it. I mentioned this elsewhere recently, but I would really really love it if we could somehow get into a position where we could say like, oh, hey. I have a bakery in Chicago and I'd like to establish some debt for that on chain. So that you could actually see that you're, you know, you were facilitating some real world goods because there is a very potent argument to be made that, like, really all we're doin
Alright, everyone. This is a message for my degen listeners out there. If you are getting scalp paying expensive fees to perp dexes, I highly recommend that you check out index co ops new leverage sweep. Now whenever it comes to leverage, do your own research. This is not financial advice. Don't bet more than you can lose. All that good stuff. But if you are gonna lever up, you might as well not pay an arm and a leg for it. You can get leverage on BTC and ETH with built in liquidation perfection, now available on base, main net, and arbitrum. So click the link in the bottom of the show notes a

little bit crowded or the complexity of l two and l threes are getting you down, just head over to Supra. They'll get you sorted. Thank you later. Hey, everyone. This episode is brought to you by Fuel Labs who's launching Fuel Ignition, a new high performance Ethereum L 2 powered by the FuelVM. Now you're gonna be hearing all about Ignition later in the program, but for now, what you need to know is they are launching phase 2 of their points program. So click the link at the bottom of the show notes and head over, start experimenting, messing around on Fuel today. Thank me later. Alright, ever
works. Yeah.

And, actually, I I found you a lot of I've been a long time Twitter follower of yours, but I saw you tweeting about some of the features in, in Wildcat, v 2, which I'm excited to to dig into you with about today. But I actually wanted to get a sense before we get into some of the specifics of Wildcat, which allows for fixed rate borrower lending undercollateralized lending, which has been this long sought after and talked about category within the DeFi lending space. Can you just give us a little bit of a sense of the history of lending in crypto? There's been a sort of an off chain hist
Fair enough. Also, good to be here. Thanks very much for inviting me. Thanks,
Pat. Thanks for hopping on. Thanks
for hopping on. I do think that, you know, ever ever since going, you know, the launch of Ethereum and the the rise of smart contracts as as something that you could kind of meaningfully use to basically put out whatever you wanted into, This possibility of doing lending in an undercollateralized way was always there and has happened on chain in in several ways as we've seen, you know, like, and they've not all been failures.
