    Licensed to Shill : The Future of DeFi – Tokenized Yield and Institutional Integration (Ben Nadareski, Solstice) | Blockcast 89

    Stablecoins were phase one. Tokenized RWAs were phase two. Ben Nadareski, CEO and founder of Solstice, joins Taka and Lisa to make the case for phase three: tokenized yield – professional-grade yield strategies, on chain, accessible to institutions and retail investors through the same infrastructure. Ben breaks down how Solstice built a $500 million liquidity protocol on Solana, why they run their delta-neutral strategy on centralised exchanges instead of DeFi protocols, and what a four-and-a-half year trading track record actually looks like when you bring it on chain. The conversation also covers the recent wave of DeFi exploits – including the Drift hack and Kelp DAO – and why Ben thinks the problem isn't DeFi itself, but protocols that treat security as a tech problem rather than a financial management one. He walks through the three due diligence checks every DeFi investor should run before depositing capital, from proof-of-reserves attestations to multi-sig configurations. Plus: why Solstice launched its SLX governance token only after the business was already profitable, what Lisa looks for when advising early-stage protocols, and Ben's take on why the Solana Foundation is outperforming its L1 peers right now.

    Licensed to Shill: Designing Decentralization: Governance, Power, and the Validator Problem (Tanisha Katara) | Blockcast 86

Tan, and Nikhil Joshi to unpack how governance works once real money, real validators, and real incentives are involved.
