Ep.40 [EN]: Cindy & David: the Driftooors building the future of finance on Solana

HODLong 后浪

Similar to how I feel about Magic Eden, it's very inspiring to see how well Drift Protocol is doing today after all the thick and thins. In light of the $DRIFT TGE, I did this podcast with Cindy and David.

Shownotes:

• How was these 3 years of building? How does it feel having been through the whole bull and bear and bull again?
• What was the toughest time for you during these years? How did you power through it?
• How did that challenging experience impact and lead to the design of v2? How was v2 different from v1?
• In Drift V2, can you define the participants of the ecosystem into a few categories?
• Why did you decide to offer spot trading and swap with leverage? You also introduced the money market protocol and allow people to stake in the Insurance Fund.
• How’s the market making experience like on Drift? Can a retail participate in the MM?
• How to understand protocol owned holdings on your dashboard? Where did they come from?
• What exactly happens when there are more unsettled PnL to be withdrawn than what’s available in the pool?
• How do you pick which assets to start a market?
• What does your demographic look like, if you know.
• How did Solana congestion impact your performance? What did you do to try to optimize the experience for the users?
• Can you talk about the $DRIFT token distribution for the users? What’s the thinking behind not considering trading volume and points accumulated in the distribution terms?
• What’s on the roadmap for the next 6 months? Have you thought about a mobile app?
