After today’s DeFi meeting at the knowledge well (a16z)

net zero procrastinator // looking down /mudlarking // views are subject to change 

cooking @tybb | blockchain research @coinbase | sidshekhar.com

very heavily tilted towards trade execution/simulation/trading products

three teams presented, all sought to make complex trade strategies

a bit like alternative versions of the cash carry trade Ethena does

The ML research one right. any key takeaways?
