About this episode
Samyak Jain knows a thing or two about moving value onchain. The serial builder and former Forbes Asia 30 under 30 lister was one of the minds behind Instadapp, facilitating more than $10 billion in user transactions through protocols like Aave, Compound, and MakerDAO. Samyak's savvy spilled over into his latest trading protocol: Fluid processed more than $1 billion in its first three weeks of existence, and is now the second biggest DEX on Ethereum, surpassed only by Uniswap.
