S10 E8 | A New Era for Decentralized Exchanges w/Andy Boyan & Andrew Redden (Hypurr Finance)

In this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Andy Boyan and Andrew Redden about their latest project, Hypurr Finance, a lending platform built for Hyperliquid and on the HyperEVM.

Hyperliquid recently executed one of the largest and most successful airdrops in crypto history, and we start the episode by unpacking the strategy and impacts behind that and the LAST team’s rationale behind building HypurrFi on HyperEVM.

We also talked about the future of DeFi, the impact of decentralization, and the new dynamics in cryptocurrency ecosystems.

Andy previously appeared on Rehash in S4 E3 | Rules of Game Design w/Andy Boyan.
