Show Notes

My guest today is Kaan Eryilmaz. He is the founder of Tinyman, a decentralized trading protocol built on the Algorand blockchain. Kaan is also one of the co-founders of Hipo, where they built several successful fintech products.

Kaan and I had a great conversation on all things DeFi and Tinyman. Here are some of the topics that we discussed:

- How crypto turned into a real product for Kaan with the introduction of DeFi
- The mechanics of a decentralized  trading protocol 
- The spirit behind Tinyman to empower ordinary people and bring them to DeFi
- Community aspect differentiating DeFi from traditional fintech
- User interface as an integral element to grow adoption in a multi-chain world

Please enjoy my conversation with Kaan Eryilmaz.

p.s. Unfortunately, a couple of days after we recorded the episode, an attack occurred on Tinyman Pools on the 1st of Jan. Since then, the Tinyman team, with strong support from their community and stakeholders, have been working to fix the problem and deploy a new version of the contracts as early as possible.
