Royco Protocol: Revolutionizing Liquidity Markets
Jai Bhavnani is the CoFounder and CEO of Waymont Co, a developer of the Royco Protocol. In this episode, we cover how Royco Protocol will revolutionize liquidity markets. We're joined by the legendary cofounder of Rari Capital, Jai Bhavnani, to get a first look at what we believe is the biggest DeFi primitive to launch since Uniswap. Royco's onchain liquidity orderbook with programmable markets can solve market inefficiencies currently plaguing DeFi, which have led to issues around high FDV launches. This is one of the most disruptive ideas we've ever come across and you're getting a sneak peak long before the protocol goes live! ------ 🔗 Essential Show Links 🔗 ► Youtube: https://youtube.com/@DeFiDad ► Apple: https://tinyurl.com/edgepod ► Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/edgepodspotify ► Linktree: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod ► Follow DeFi Dad: https://twitter.com/DeFi_Dad ► Follow Nomatic: https://twitter.com/Nomaticcap ► Learn about DeFi and Web3: http://defidad.com/ ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources ☀️ SUMMER.FI | THE BEST PLACE TO BORROW AND EARN IN DEFI https://summer.fi/?utm_source=DeFidad 💧 INSTADAPP | NEW LENDING AND BORROWING VAULTS WITH FLUID https://fluid.instadapp.io/ 🧑🌾 MANTLE | THE ETHEREUM L2 FOR TOP NATIVE YIELDS https://www.mantle.xyz/ 🍵 MATCHA.XYZ | THE BEST PRICE ON OVER 5 MILLION TOKENS https://matcha.xyz/ 🔵 BLUEBERRY | THE DEFI PRIME BROKERAGE https://www.blueberry.garden/ ------ Timestamps 0:00 - Intro 4:40 - Jai's background 7:14 - Origin of Royco 10:30 - Why Royco makes sense 16:37 - A new DeFi primitive to build on 17:44 - Example of how Royco will work 23:30 - Application ideas for Royco 27:42 - Blueberry mid-roll 28:11 - Disrupting OTC markets 29:40 - Democratizing access 30:15 - Why Royco represents a better DeFi 34:23 - Closing ------ 🔗 Guest Links 🔗 ► Royco Website: https://www.royco.org/ ► Royco on Twitter: https://x.com/roycoprotocol ► Waymont on Twitter: https://x.com/waymontco ► Jai on Twitter: https://x.com/jai_bhavnani ------ If you're a DeFi/Web3 builder, contact our team at: https://fourthrevolution.capital/ All opinions expressed by hosts and podcast guests are solely their own opinions and not necessarily those of Fourth Revolution Capital.
