Upgrading DeFi market-making and liquidity programs, with Carson Cook of Tokemak

In this conversation, we chat with Carson Cook – the founder of
Tokemak and Fractal. Carson holds his PhD in Physics and Master’s
in Electrical Engineering. After completing his PhD, Carson worked
at McKinsey for several years, focused on fintech, financial
services, and wealth management. He got into the blockchain/crypto
space in 2016 and founded Fractal in 2018, focused on market making
and providing liquidity. Tokemak is a new product Carson designed
based on opportunities he saw in the space. Tokemak is a
decentralized liquidity/market making primitive. More specifically,
we touch on how decentralized finance has evolved as well as the
different threads that have brought all of it together, as well as,
magnetohydrodynamics, the similarities between the finance world
and theoretical physics, early crypto exchange arbitrage trading,
0x market making, liquidity aggregation, and so so much
more!Disclaimer here — this newsletter does not provide investment
