In this episode, we dive deep into Uniswap's surprise Unichain announcement and its potential impact on DeFi. We also explore the emergence of Exchange OS and its promise of provable exchanges using ZK proofs. The conversation then shifts to the challenges of accurate metrics in crypto, particularly addressing inflated user numbers. We then discuss Binance's controversial pre-market trading feature and its implications for price discovery. Finally, we reflect on the current state of token distribution methods and potential alternatives to traditional airdrops. Thanks for tuning in!
