The Curious Learners
I feel privileged to speak to so many great minds as part of my job. They are passionate builders, insightful investors, laser-focused leaders. They are all curious learners in their own way. It is their urge to learn more. That urge is curiosity. When I speak to these people, I hear fascinating ideas, solid business plans, genius growth hacking practices, relentless team building focus, unique investing strategies and many others. However, most of the time, key insights, business intelligence and inspiring stories shared in these conversations do not make their way to the outside world. The Curious Learners is an attempt to share the stories of those curious learners with those, who might find the inspiration that they were looking for or those who might get the encouragement for their own journey that they already started. Looking forward to a long journey together.

Kaan Eryilmaz | DeFi | The Curious Learners Ep. 9
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.
