A conversation with Tommy Johnson, founder of PsyFi and PsyOptions.

Tommy has been in the Solana ecosystem longer than most, having participated in one of the first global hackathons. From building one of the first options markets on Solana, to now launching their latest product: ArmadaFi.

The goal of the ArmadaFi platform is to allow people to create better tokenomics by providing the tools teams need to pull it off.

Having been through the ups and downs of the blockchain’s financial markets, and working in the DeFi world, Tommy shares his insights on how the journey was first hand. And why this has helped shaped his opinions on blockchain based financial markets.

A conversation with Daniel (aka @nicechute ), co-founder and CEO @Lulo Full notes for this episode at: https://solfate.com/podcast/70 Solfate Podcast Follow us on twitter and turn the notifs on: @SolfatePod Discover all our podcast episodes on our website: solfate.com/podcast Collect our episodes as NFTs on DRiP: drip.haus/solfate Summary In this episode, we welcome Daniel on the podcast, co-founder and CEO of Lulo, to discuss the birth and evolution of Lulo, a platform that simplifies DeFi. We explore the challenges faced in the DeFi space, the pivot from their original product to FlexLend, and the importance of user experience. The discussion also covers upcoming features, including a native app and an insurance product aimed at mitigating smart contract risks, ultimately positioning Lulo as a competitive player in the personal finance space. We talk about the innovative features of Lulo, a DeFi platform designed to enhance user experience and safety in digital asset management. The discussion covers the importance of risk management in DeFi, the introduction of an insurance-like product to protect users' deposits, and the vision for Lulo as a comprehensive financial tool that simplifies crypto investments. We also discuss regulatory challenges and the future of Lulo as a leading crypto app, highlighting the platform's potential to attract a broader audience to DeFi. Takeaways DeFi is perceived as hard to use, which hinders adoption. The original idea for Lulo was an order book for lending. The pivot to FlexLend was driven by user needs for simplicity. Lulo's model allows for diversified risk management similar to traditional insurance. The future of Lulo includes features like debit cards and fiat onboarding. Lulo seeks to create a risk-free standard in the DeFi space. A simple UI can significantly enhance user experience. Launching a product early allows for easier iteration and feedback. Marketing strategies should align with product complexity. Lulo aims to compete with traditional finance apps like Robinhood. Safety is the number one concern for users in DeFi. The new insurance product helps manage risks associated with underlying protocols. Users will choose their risk level instead of specific apps in the new UX. Lulo aims to be the go-to crypto app for personal finance. The platform's efficiency improves as more DeFi pools are integrated.

Subscribe to our Drip channel today: drip.haus/solfate (we have some fun experiments planned) Notes from the show Solana is the only place where mobile is a part of the conversation. You have to build an API to protect your secrets. Mobile apps are client side apps so developers should not trust the environment. Do not put secrets in your mobile apps. You can co-sign transactions and have them executed on the backend. DRiP is a mobile company, even if they don't realize it. You need to be way more active on Twitter. Web development skills are increasingly relevant for mobile developers. React Native is convenient but has performance limitations. Kotlin Compose offer a promising alternative for mobile development. Understanding UX differences is crucial in cross-platform development. Community feedback is essential for app improvement. Prototyping in mobile apps can help clarify ideas for product development. Performance is a key factor in user satisfaction with mobile apps. Developers should focus on building compelling features to retain users. Engaging with developer communities can provide valuable support and resources.

Subscribe to our Drip channel today: drip.haus/solfate (we have some fun experiments planned) Notes from the show ORE is a proof-of-work token that anyone can mine. The project aims to bridge Bitcoin to Solana. Mining is designed to be accessible to all users. The hash function used in ORE is non-parallelizable. Mining happens off-chain, with validation on-chain. The initial launch faced significant network congestion. The V1 system had issues with spam and transaction volume. A hard fork was necessary to transition to V2. The V2 redesign improved the mining experience. The project gained attention through its marketing strategy. The transition from V1 to V2 involved significant changes in reward structure and supply cap. Community feedback is crucial in shaping the monetary policy of the token. Participants in crypto can be categorized into three main groups: nerds, speculators, and utility seekers. Liquidity is essential for the success of ORE and its integration with real-world assets. Staking and mining pools are being introduced to enhance user participation and rewards. Horizontal integration can create a broader ecosystem for the ORE token. Liquidity is viewed as a key component of store value in the crypto space. The project aims to compete with traditional finance by offering decentralized alternatives. The ORE experiment is seen as a significant step in exploring new monetary policies. Community engagement and feedback are vital for the ongoing development of the ORE project.

The team started as a validator on the Solana network and attracted a strong amount of stake. They then expanded to provide RPC network support and became the largest provider of RPC services on Solana. Shadow Drive addresses the storage challenges faced by validators by storing Solana's ledger history. The platform has grown to have an average of 130,000 daily active users. Decentralized storage offers cost savings in terms of bandwidth costs compared to centralized storage providers. Shadow Drive achieves this by leveraging the collective power of the network. The platform aims to decentralize revenues and distribute them to the operators of the network, providing a disruptive and cost-effective alternative to traditional storage providers. Shadow Drive V2 is a decentralized cloud storage platform built on the Solana network. The platform is designed to be resource-efficient and capable of running on mobile phones. It operates on a consensus algorithm that allows for censorship resistance and decision-making by the network consensus. Shadow Drive V2 leverages Solana as a base layer for identity, payment, and other functionalities. The platform aims to decentralize revenues by directly passing user fees to network operators.

Full notes for this episode at: https://solfate.com/podcast/62 Follow @SolfatePod on Twitter for updates: https://twitter.com/SolfatePod Notes from the show Magic Block is a high-performance engine for fully on-chain games and applications. It aims to make it easy for developers to build entirely on-chain games and leverage the unique features that blockchain offers. The engine uses a hybrid approach between a roll-up and something that runs on Layer 1 to minimize latency and preserve composability. Fully on-chain games are games whose source of truth derives entirely from a blockchain, where state and logic run on-chain. These games offer permissionless composability and become autonomous worlds. Magic Block provides a solution for faster and more scalable on-chain gaming experiences. Magic Block is building a solution called Ephemeral Rollups on Solana that allows for fully on-chain games with high scalability and composability. Ephemeral Rollups are a combination of Solana's high-speed blockchain and a separate execution environment that runs custom operations on specific accounts. This allows for the passage of time and other game mechanics without the need to pay for every state update. Magic Block is also developing the Bolt framework, an entity component system built on top of Anchor, to simplify game development on Solana. The goal is to create a future where everything runs on-chain while preserving composability and a single ecosystem for users, developers, and operators.
