The latest Talking Tokens podcast 🎙️

For this week’s Tuesday episode, we’re sharing my interview with Tristan Frizza, founder of Zeta Markets.

We talk about what traders want more of on DeFi trading platforms, why Zeta is building a layer-2 on top of Solana, how it will scale the network and more.

Solana is inherently fast and many argue that there’s no need for an L2 on top of it. But Tristan, who has been in the Solana ecosystem since its early days, is challenging that notion, in pursuit of making DeFi even faster onchain.

This conversation is a great listen for the average crypto retail investor, degen traders, institutions eyeing DeFi and more. Hope you enjoy!

Talking Tokens episodes are released on Spotify and Apple Podcasts at 6AM EST or YouTube at 8AM EST every Tuesday and Thursday. Listen in!
