Joel Palathinkal, Kyle Kistner, and Tom Bean explore the inception and evolution of a blockchain project, focusing on the development of the bZx protocol and its integration with 0x relayers. They discuss liquidity management, slippage, and their vision for Fulcrum with an Augur integration. The conversation delves into future DeFi trends, interest rates, and the use of Wrapped Bitcoin and ERC-20 tokens, alongside KYC processes and wallet integration. They also cover the role of Wrapped ETH, transaction fees, and the mechanics of iTokens and liquidation prices. The episode concludes with insights on project evangelism, feedback, the impact of major crypto players, and upcoming platform features.

In this episode of the Future 1 webshow & podcast, we meet Kyle Kistner & Tom Bean who are the cofounders of bZx who just launched a new product called Fulcrum, which is the most simple and powerful way to lend and margin trade. It is the first and only completely trustless platform for margin; it does not use centralized price feeds or centrally administered margin calls. It is permissionless and rent free; there are no fees and no accounts. We spend time learning their story, and walk through their product offering, and speak to the state of crypto and what trends are needed to consider when it comes to decentralized finance.
