Episode 21: Decentalized Launchpads Part 3: CSP DAO, a Best-Kept secret: How to Participate in Private Sales

Closing and launchpad series (for now) is something a little different dealing with private sales.  Many people (including me until a couple-of-months ago) think that private sales are only open to VCs, whales, and individuals connected to the project.  Not so.  In this episode we discuss how everybody could participate in private sales via CSP DAO and similar projects.After doing some research, I decided to use Koinly for my taxes.  If you'd like to try it out, please help support his podcast by using our Affiliate Link.Please support this podcast by using out SuperWorld and using our affiliate link.Please note that I am not a financial advisor and nothing in this podcast constitutes a financial advice.  Please do you own research before investing or trading!Telegram:   t.me/defipodcastTwitter:   @CryptoDanDeFiEmail:   info@cryptodan.clubHome Page:   www.cryptodan.clubMentioned in this episode or otherwise relevant:CSP DAO - Crypto Seed PartnersAutoFarmKoinlySuperWorldAll content provided on this podcast  is for your general information only.

Episode 19: Decentalized Launchpads Part 2: Polkastarter, DuckSTARTER, PAID Ignition, and more!

Launching a new crypto project has taken many forms over the years.  It started with Bitcoin forks; followed by the Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) of 2017 and 2018; and then  Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs), which were followed by some infamous self-launches with Bounce and others, many resulting in rug pulls.  Now the hottest trends is Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs); which leverage smart contracts and DeFi to offer a more fair, cost effective, and transparent launch.In Episode 17 we covered TrustSwap ($SWAP), one of the pioneers of IDOs.  In this second installment we cover newer launchpads which cater to smaller, quicker, but often not-less interesting offerings.Please support this podcast by using out SuperWorld and using our affiliate link.Please note that I am not a financial advisor and nothing in this podcast constitutes a financial advice.  Please do you own research before investing or trading!Telegram:   t.me/defipodcastTwitter:   @defi_cryptodanEmail:   info@cryptodan.clubHome Page:   www.cryptodan.clubMentioned in this episode or otherwise relevant:SuperWorldTrustSwapPolkastarterDuckSTARTERPAID IgnitionZenditPoolzAll content provided on this podcast  is for your general information only.

Episode 18: Curve Finance and Deep Chain Liquidity

Curve Finance is another backbone of DeFi.  It is so ubiquitous that some of its LP tokens have become stablecoins themselves, and many are composable into other services.  Curve focuses on stablecoins and pools of coins pegged to the same value (such as wBTC/RenBTC/sBTC).  It currently boasts over 30 pools, $3.6 billion TVL, and $500 million daily volume!  Curve is a place to know, both for its competitive rates for large transactions, and for its yield farming potential.We are also announcing a partnership with SuperWorld.  Please support this podcast by using our affiliate link.Please note that I am not a financial advisor and nothing in this podcast constitutes a financial advice.  Please do you own research before investing or trading!Telegram:   t.me/defipodcastTwitter:   @defi_cryptodanEmail:   info@cryptodan.clubHome Page:   www.cryptodan.clubMentioned in this episode or otherwise relevant:SuperWorldCurve FinanceCurve Market CapYearn Finance VaultsAll content provided on this podcast  is for your general information only.

Episode 16: Synthetix - Deep Dive to the Inventor of Synthetic Assets

Some crypto projects are groundbreaking.  UniSwap is defiantly on of them, Curve Finance another.  Synthetix solidly falls into this category with everything it brings.  Everything from collateralization, via its zero-slip exchange, through its tokenomics, was novel, and followed by many others.In this episode we celebrate the first Synthetix stock (you guess right - Tesla) by deep-diving into the Synthetix system,  which is challenging to understand but has its own beauty once mastered.Please note that I am not a financial advisor and nothing in this podcast constitutes a financial advice.  Please do you own research before investing or trading!Telegram:   t.me/defipodcastTwitter:   @defi_cryptodanEmail:   info@cryptodan.clubHome Page:   www.cryptodan.clubMentioned in this episode or otherwise relevant:Synthetix HomeSynthetix Staking AppKwenta ExchangeFurther ReadingSynthetix Blog SiteSynthetix OverviewMove to Optimism Level 2All content provided on this podcast  is for your general information only.

Episode 14: Two Rising Stars on Binance Smart Chain: Spartan Protocol and JustLiquidity

With the rising costs of gas of Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC) is seeing an explosion in transactions and volume.  This week BSC reached an incredible milestone, exceeding the daily number of transactions of the entire Ethereum blockchain.  This time we cover two rising stars on BSC: Spartan Protocol (ticker $SPARTA) and JustLiquidity (tickers $JUL and $JULD.)Spartan Protocol is an emerging distributed exchange (DEX) on Binance Smart Chain (BTC) with a current market cap of $70M and a TVL of $32M.  Spartan had a unique approach to distributing its $SPARTA token and offers multiple liquidity pools based on the $SPARTA token.JustLiquidity is a truly emerging DEX which quickly reached a market cap of $45M with a TVL of $18M.  JustLiquidity is built on a two-token system, is traded both on BSC and Ethereum blockchain, offers both swap and DEX interfaces, and also supports a cross-blockchain token bridge.Please note that I am not a financial advisor and nothing in this podcast constitutes a financial advice.  Please do you own research before investing or trading!Telegram:   t.me/defipodcastTwitter:   @defi_cryptodanEmail:   info@cryptodan.clubHome Page:   podcast.cryptodan.clubMentioned in this episode or otherwise relevant:Binance Smart Chain (BSC) ExplorerSpartanProtocolJustLiquidityPancakeSwapBakerySwapBinance BridgeAll content provided on this podcast  is for your general information only.
