Today I’m speaking with Eric Chen, Co-Founder and CEO at Injective Labs, a research and development company focused on creating decentralized finance solutions. Prior to co-founding Injective Labs, Eric worked in traditional finance as an investment analyst and also as a researcher at NYU Blockchain Labs.
As you will hear, Eric is a brilliant person with a clear vision for how DeFi is disrupting traditional finance and investment. And Injective Labs is another great example of a Web3 platform that enables builders to create new and innovative solutions in the DeFi.
During our discussion, Eric talks about his background in traditional finance, when he first became interested in crypto, and then we explore his entrepreneurial journey, along with the early days of Injective Labs and how it works. Towards the end of our conversation, Eric also shares his perspective on The Graph and how Injective Labs relies upon the network to create value for its own users.
