01:26:18 Share

Rooter (co-founder of Solend) and Edgar (co-founder of MarginFi) join us to debate last week's mSOL depeg and how to implement risk management. Last week's mSOL depeg led to liquidations throughout Solana DeFi and a heated debate between the Solend and MarginFi teams. In this episode, we discuss what happened, where Solend and MarginFi disagree, the oracle debate, why liquidator profitability matters, points systems vs token launches and more!
