DeFi Chain That Owns Its Liquidity │ Matthew Fisher (Katana)

DeFi chains tend to rent their liquidity. Katana is trying to own it and build a sustainable yield model that survives. In this episode, I sit down with Matthew Fisher, CEO and co-founder of Katana, to discuss how chain-owned liquidity works, their yield composition, whether an institutional grade and a permissionless chain is still DeFi or something we don't have a name for yet, the future outlook and more.
