EP 27: Flash Loans & Credit Delegation 101

Crypto/DeFi is more than just the economics, mechanisms and code
driving it. One of the other cool things is the innovation in
business logic, systems and products. Being in the digital space
opens up more opportunities to mitigate inefficiencies and create
ways to increase value-add.


Today, we are joined by Victor Lee, the CEO of Bitcurate. In this
episode, we will dive into flash loans and credit delegation, new
innovations by Aave, made possible with the composability of DeFi
dapps. Stacking one protocol on top of another, such innovative
products can bring some real value-add to the system!
