Episode 26: DeFi Yield

In this episode of Exponential, Laszlo Szabo, co-founder and CEO of Kiln, joins to talk about one of the most important developments quietly happening in crypto today: the evolution of yield in digital assets. 

As Laszlo explains, yield is becoming the bridge between traditional finance and the onchain economy, opening the door to new financial products and new participants.

Kiln operates what Laszlo describes as an "onchain yield platform," providing the infrastructure that exchanges, custodians, wallets, and asset managers use to offer staking and other yield strategies to their users. 

"We provide them the technology, we provide them the infrastructure so that they can offer digital asset yields to their customers," he explains. 

What began with staking has expanded into lending, stablecoin strategies, and more advanced onchain asset management.
