Similar to how I feel about Magic Eden, it's very inspiring to see how well Drift Protocol is doing today after all the thick and thins. In light of the $DRIFT TGE, I did this podcast with Cindy and David.
Episode Notes
Similar to how I feel about Magic Eden, it's very inspiring to see how well Drift Protocol is doing today after all the thick and thins. In light of the $DRIFT TGE, I did this podcast with Cindy and David.
Shownotes:
- How was these 3 years of building? How does it feel having been through the whole bull and bear and bull again?
- What was the toughest time for you during these years? How did you power through it?
- How did that challenging experience impact and lead to the design of v2? How was v2 different from v1?
- In Drift V2, can you define the participants of the ecosystem into a few categories?
- Why did you decide to offer spot trading and swap with leverage? You also introduced the money market protocol and allow people to stake in the Insurance Fund.
- How’s the market making experience like on Drift? Can a retail participate in the MM?
- How to understand protocol owned holdings on your dashboard? Where did they come from?
- What exactly happens when there are more unsettled PnL to be withdrawn than what’s available in the pool?
- How do you pick which assets to start a market?
- What does your demographic look like, if you know.
- How did Solana congestion impact your performance? What did you do to try to optimize the experience for the users?
