#23 Nadav Hollander, Dharma Protocol: The Decentralized 0x Financial Stack + How YC Helps Crypto Startups
In this episode of Creating a Humanist Blockchain Future (Patreon, Soundcloud, Youtube, iTunes) I interview Nadav Hollander, the co-founder of Dharma Protocol, a decentralized lending protocol. We break down the protocol itself, chat about YC for crypto startups, and discuss why Dharma isn’t doing a token sale. This is the first episode in a series about startups that are build on top of 0xProject. The tweet below says it all. Enjoy, and as always, let me know if you have any feedback!
