EP 16: Tokens with Programmable Rules - Leveraged Tokens (E.g FTX)
07/09/20 • 43 min
Alright listen up guys. Now is the best time for #STONKS.
Memes aside, new token design are constantly entering the space. As DeFi continues to mature, I think we will start to see more sophisticated tokenised products with mathematical programmable rules embedded in them. How is now not the best time to be alive!
This episode, we dive into leveraged tokens. Using the token economics framework, we uncover the economics behind leveraged tokens, using #FTX as an example. Some simple math are involved. But don't worry. It's all fun and games.
Caution: this is a high risk product! Don't stonk your lives away ok.
