About this episode
*Not Financial Advice sits down in our fireside studio in Denver to meet Gaspard Peduzzi, co-founder and CEO of Spectra, a DeFi protocol pioneering the tokenization of future yield.
You may remember Gaspard for his work on APWine, one of the earliest protocols to tokenize yield streams. Spectra takes flexibility and composability to a new level — and hit $200 million in TVL within a year of its launch. Watch to find out how.
